Position of the label in a text field

Hi,
By default when utilising a text field, the label appears on the laft hand side of the input area.
Is there any way that the positioning of the label & input can be reconfigured? I'm wanting the label to appear above the input on each field.
E.G.
*Label*
*Input Area*
Could leave the label blank and create a separate static text object for each field, but would prefer to use a simpler approach if possible!
Thanks.

All you need to to it to set the desired position for the field caption in the Layout palette.

Label in a text field

Hi There
I am struggling a little with putting a label into three text fields of a form - please see the site at http://www.justadwater.co.uk/Firstlook/index.html I can get it to appear when you click on the text box but it needs to be there from the start and then gone when you click on the box.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Hi,
I believe this code should work.
<form action="sendmailnews.php" method="post">
<input name="First Name" id="Firstname" type="text" value="First Name"/>
<input name="Last Name" id="Lastname" type="text" value="Last Name"/>
<input name="Email" id="Email" type="text" value="Email"/>
<input name="" type="image" id="button" src="images/button.gif"/></form>

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

Trying to underline the rectangle of a Text Field

I am trying to underline the rectangle of a Text Field with a Line Annotation, but I am a little confused.
The first doubt is about the "Square" vs, the "Rectangle" annotations. What is the difference between them? Has Adobe changed those recently?
I have tried several variations of the following snippet:
    var x1 = textField.rect[0];
    var y1 = textField.rect[1];
    var x2 = textField.rect[2];
    var y2 = textField.rect[3];
    var underscore = this.addAnnot({
        page: 0,
        type: "Line",
        rect: [x1, y1, x2, y1],
        strokeColor: color.red,
        strokeWidth: 160
What I am getting is an identity line (i.e., 45-degree) at the lower left corner.
-Ramon

Thanks for your reply, try67:
Could you -or anybody else- please clarify this:
"The square rect defines top-left-x, top-left-y, bottom-left-x and bottom-left-y.
For a line it's left-x, left-y, right-x, right-y."
According to such definition, the square rect does not contain any information about the right side?
Maybe what you meant to write is:
"The square rect defines:
top-left-x, top-left-y, bottom-right-x and bottom-right-y.
For a line it is
left-x, left-y, right-x, right-y."
If that's the case, a rect of zero height is the same thing as a horizontal line. That was my assumption, but I am getting a 45-degree line through the origin.
TIA,
-Ramon

I need to get the value of a text field that is located in another page JSP

I need to get the value of a text field that is located in another page JSP. How do I do that?

Well you see, I have a page at angelfire.com, which
does not support JSP. I want to call a script located
at mycgisever and then, when pressing a link on the
former page, the JSP page is loaded, and the script
get the value from the text field on the OTHER page.
Is this possible?I know nothing about cgi. But that should not prevent me from understanding what can and cannot be done, assuming cgi is sort of comparable with jsps.
I'm unable to understand your description clearly. Try to explain it better. Give precise steps that you intend to follow and I should be able to help you further.
So you have a page1.
You hit submit from page1.
That goes to the cgiserver.
From the cgiserver, programmatically load up the jsp.
search this for the text field.
Display it on your page2.
Is that what you are trying to do?
BTW, won't be able to help you with cgi scripting at all. Can help with Java and Jsp.

[ADF Faces] set cursor position to the first column input text in ADF table

How do i set the cursor position to the first column input text when i Insert a blank row?
My idea is to implement using javascript. document.setfocus() but how do i do it from the backing bean code? or how do i install custom js to call document.setfocus()?
any ideas?

Did you try by iterating the selected row?
Bind the table with the managed bean and then try with below code:
RichTable empTable;
RowKeySet selectedEmps = getEmpTable().getSelectedRowKeys();
Iterator selectedEmpIter = selectedEmps.iterator();
DCBindingContainer bindings = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
DCIteratorBinding empIter = bindings.findIteratorBinding("EmpView1Iterator");
RowSetIterator empRSIter = empIter.getRowSetIterator();
while(selectedEmpIter.hasNext()){
   Key key = (Key)((List)selectedEmpIter.next()).get(0);
   Row currentRow = empRSIter.getRow(key);
   System.out.println(currentRow.getAttribute("Ename"));

Setting the focus to a text field on a subform in the form initialize event.

I have a form that checks the rawValue of a text field to determine whether or not the focus should be set on a particular text field. Here is the logic:
if(txtEmailVisible.rawValue == "visible")
frmEmailData.presence = "visible";
xfa.host.setFocus(xfa.form.NEDA.main.frmEmailData.txtEmailBody);
else
frmEmailData.presence = "hidden";
For some reason the focus isn't going to that object, instead it is still going to the first field in the tabbing order. Am I calling this in the wrong event, which is causing the tabbing order to over ride my setFocus call?
Thanks,
Chad

Try using setTimeout for this from the DocReady event.
app.setTimeout("xfa.host.setFocus(xfa.form.NEDA.main.frmEmailData.txtEmailBody);
", 250);
There are several occasions where code must be executed after init/formReady/DocReady, etc. has been completed. This is one of them.

Change the background of a text field when a checkbox is checked?

Hi,
I'm new to Adobe JS, having done some browser scripting previously.
I'm making a form in which I would like to change the background of a text field to bright yellow (RGB code 220,220,0) when a corresponding checkbox is checked?
I have a checkbox named chkCD56, with an option value set to 1.
I have a text field named CD56 with a transparent background.
Can someone help me with the JS code?
Thanks.

Hi
To make your number filed in Red :
Right click on the field and go in format field click on Font tab and go in Color formula editor and give the following formula :
If Sum(fieldValue} < 0 Then CrRed else CrNoColor
Now go in Style formula editor and give the following :
if sum() < 0 then Critalic
This will make your field red and italic when it is less than 0
Thanks,
Sastry

Can't hide text field label..only text field

I'm trying to display text field boxes on a form to fill out when a box is checked. I'm able to do this for the actual text field, but can't figure out how to hide then show the associated text field label. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
var nHide =
event.target.isBoxChecked (0) ? display.visible:display,hidden;
this.getField ("Name").display = nHide; this.getField

First of all, you're using Acrobat JavaScript in an XFA form, which doesn't work.
LiveCycle Designer has its own interpretation of JavaScript, which is different to Acrobat.
There is also a second scripting language called FormCalc available.
Its syntax is much easier to learn and is matches perfectly to manipulate XFA forms.
Check the help (F1 button) in Designer to get the Designers scripting guide.

How can I change the content of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

Hello all!
First time poster, and getting pretty frustrated with trying to figure out this one issue. Here is the scenario: I am using Acrobat 10 Pro to design what is essentially a giant order form. I designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and whatnot and then exported it to Acrobat to continue building the form.
I have a Radio Button group called "conference_opportunities" which contains different options at different price points, so they are all named the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).
What I have done is created a "MouseDown" event on the radio button that sets a variable called "ConferenceOpportunity" which is equal to the title of the option they are picking. I then want to take that variable and display it in a text box called "Conference_Option". I am using a variable because the values of my radio buttons are all the actual prices of the option they are picking, so I can't define the value as the title of the option.
So its an array of radio buttons, and at the bottom of the page there is the Option They Selected, the quantity (which can change) and the value (in dollars)
I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a sort of summary of everything they chose to purchase as well but I imagine its the same code.
I am not an expert Javascript person at all, so any code snippets would help greatly. I have looked over the Adobe Document on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I have also turned to the almighty google and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Everyone

All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

How does one change the "rollover" value in text field of fillable PDF

I have a fillable PDF, and the values displayed when rolling the pointer over a fillable text field are showing some strange values. I inherited this form from someone who is no longer with the company. I need to be able to change the values but can't figure out how. I'm new to LiveCycle so any help is greatly appreciated.

I guess you are referring to "Tool Tip" you can update those in "Accessibility" Pallet...in designer you would access this by Shift+F6.

How can I change the Background in a text-field into lets say grey?

I created a text field and now I would like to not have the background in white. I did not figure out yet how I can do this. Also the help program did not help. Does anybody know how this works?
Thanks a lot. Many greetings!

Oh.. all right, forget it.. I just found it myself.... just looking a little more... Thanks for your help anyway....

Sum the values of a text field in a tabular form using JavaScript

Hi Folks.
OK, I put my hands up. I don't know Java script but I'm picking up the basics and I WANT to learn.
Here's my situation.
I have a tabular form which has lots of Standard Report Columns and ONE text field.
I want to sum the values entered in the text field, real time, using Java Script without the need to have a round trip to the database.
I'm guessing this will involve some kind of loop. Once I have that SUM figure I will store it in a hidden item and it will be used for validation when the user submits the form.
If anyone can give me a simple Java Script to do this, or point me in the direction of one, I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks.
Dogfighter.

Hi Arie.
Thanks for the link.
That's a great start,
What I've got working so far is the following...
<script type="text/javascript">
function f_calculate_delta(p_this,p_rownum)
var amt = $x(p_this).value;
alert (amt);
var display_item_to_set = 'f08_'+ p_rownum
$x(display_item_to_set).innerHTML = amt
</script>
This is working fine.
Where I'm stuck at the moment is how I can 'get' the value of another cell in the same row. They have all been set up using the APEX_ITEM API with their own unique IDs.
I will continue looking but if you could give me a steer, that would be great.
Many thanks
Simon
PS. APEX 3.1
PPS. Trying to get the value of another row using...
var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
var expected_amt = $x(display_item_to_get).value
PPPS. Also tried...
var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
var expected_amt = $v(display_item_to_get)
and
var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
var expected_amt = $v(display_item_to_get).value
None of which are working at the moment.
