Pressing enter to tab to next text box in a tabular form

Hi all.
Does anyone know how to configure an Apex tabular report so when a user hits enter, it will tab to the next text box?
Thanks

I've been looking at this for a long time. My conclusion: because the BROWSER defines what actions the keys take, you either have to re-map the keys (a scary proposition) or just train your users to get used to that feature of web applications. A normal application has the capability to re-map the keys; web apps aren't quite as flexible in this regard.

  • Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab to the next cell

    Hi, I wonder if it is possible to make Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab  to the next cell once a certain number of digits is entered, for example, I'm using a barcode scanner to scan a barcode of 13 digits, so I want Excel
    to move to the next cell once the barcode is scanned.
    example: I'm In cell A1,  this code appeared after scanning "AABB1234567CC", I want Excel to move to A2 in order to scan the next barcode.

    Hi,
    Excel has no direct feature or option to achieve your goal. We'd better try the macro via VBA code to test. Please see the thread:

  • Is it possible to have copy to clipboard take entries in text boxes on a fillable form as well as the form fields Windows?

    Is it possible to have copy to clipboard take entries in text boxes on a fillable form as well as the form fields in Adobe Reader Windows? When I create the forms is there some javascript or possibly a setting that would allow the end user to copy to clipboard the form fields and their entered text. Or another option that would work is to have only the entries in the text boxes copy to clipboard. Is that even possible?

    Copying fields is not possible in Reader.

  • How to fill in a text box on a pfd form downloaded from the internet

    I am desperate to know how to fill in text boxes on a pdf form that has been downloaded from the internet

    Usually you just click in it and start typing... If that's not working then maybe what you're seeing is not a real text field.
    In that case you can probably use the Add Text Comment tool under the Comment panel to add text to the file.

  • "Text Boxes" (comments) in my form are included in "tabbing" through fields while filling in a form

    I have included several text boxes (not text fields) in my form. They are adjacent to the fields that are being filled in and serve various comment functions that I do not want in the printed form at the end.
    If the user "tabs" through the fields to enter data in the next field the 'text boxes' (comments) are included in the tab stops... I can not see where to turn that off. I want the tab order key to ignore the comment fields - the text boxes. They are not even listed in the tab order menu.
    Also - is there a way a field that shows up multiple times in a form (duplicate field) can be skipped by the tabbing through IF it aleady has data in it?

    I'm not aware of any app that will translate the form fields from Word to the iPad. My guess is that you're going to have to recreate the forms on the iPad.  The best app that I've found for doing this is FormConnect http://http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/formconnect/id432653695?mt=8&ls=1. It's a very simple app for creating check boxes and text fields.

  • Script that will automaticly set the focus to the next text box after the previous one is completed

    Specificly, entering a SSN into a form with three text boxes. 1st box for first 3 digits, 2nd box for middle 2 digits, and 3rd box for last 4 digits. I would like the user to be able to enter the 1st three digits into the 1st box, and after the 3rd digit is entered, the focus jumps to the 2nd box, then once the middle two are entered, the focus jumps the the 3rd box without having to manually use the tab key to advance through the boxes. Thanks.

    See JavaScript - setFocus Method for tabbing to next form field for a sample form that uses a document level script and custom keystroke script. See Entering Document Scripts and Entering scripts for form fields by Thom Parker for detailed instructions on entering or viewing these type of scripts.

  • How can I specify what type of text people can enter in a text box, on a fillable form?

    I have an end user that wants to make it so that others who type text in a fillable form can only enter a specific email domain (example: [email protected]).  This would be for only one text box in the form.  Is this even at all possible, and if so, any guidance on how to make this happen?  Thanks!

    I suppose we could do it that way, but I wouldn't know how to advise the user to do this.  (I am not an Acrobat user, I just handle installations and basic support).  Could you walk me through it?

  • How do you make an expanadble text box in a pdf form?

    How do you make a text box expand automatically in a pdf form?

    Hi;
    Is this a question related to FormsCentral or to PDF forms in general?  If it is for PDF forms you should ask in the Acrobat forms forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms
    If it is related to FormsCentral the text boxes do not expand automatically in a PDF, except for when saving a Response as a PDF form, when the responses from the View Responses tab are saved as a PDF form all Multi-line text fields are expanded to fit the text the user had entered.
    Thanks,

  • Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

    Hello,
    We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
    Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
    But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
    can you please help me out to get this option.
    Thanks in advance.
    REgards,
    Jayashri

    Hi,
    From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
    Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
    About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

  • How do you set default fonts and default text box sizes on bound form fields?

    I am using an existing PDF as a template to build my form in designer.
    I am dragging my objects from the schema window to the form and when I drop it on the form it is way too big - so for every field I do this with I am left to resize and reset the font to every bound object i drop on the page!
    Is there a way to set the default font and the default dimensions of the bound text boxes I am droping on the PDF form page?
    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    iWork '09 DVD set (containing Pages '09 v4.0, Numbers '09 v2.0, and Keynote '09 v5.0) is available from Amazon for USD $20. Apple no longer provides retail store, or OS X App Store downloads. You will need to apply the Apple iWork 9.3 updater afterwards to bring these applications to their n.3 (e.g. Pages '09 v4.3) last versions. You will have an /Applications/iWork '09 folder afterwards.
    I would also launch /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities, select your boot drive, and verify/repair permissions — just to be on the safe side for the newly added iWork '09 applicaitons.

  • 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.

  • Press Enter to go to next page in Dreamweaver CC

    There is a search box in my site, how to make it go to next page after the following both 2 conditions applied when press the Enter key.
    1. Users type something in the search box
    2. Focusing on the search box

    What Ken is saying is your search script (built with either client-side or server-side programming) will re-direct users to your search results page after they type a query and hit Submit.   HTML alone can't do this.

  • Enter Passcode is now a text box instead of a 4 digit PIN code...

    hi,
    recently, I somehow got into a state where my phone (first generation iphone running 3.0) got into a state where the passcode is a text edit box instead of a four digit PIN code. i tried entering my PIN, didn't work, tried entering every password I use -- still doesn't work. what is going on here? i would like to be able to use my phone again someday...
    anyone know what's going on?
    thanks.

    Well the only route I can think of if it only happened due to error and not that you are using a phone connected to a company Exchange server is to restore it. Though believe it won't let you by normal means, you have to put it in recovery mode and then restore it as new.
