Problem in repeating a subform with hidden text fields.

Hi,
Request advise on the scenario below:
The form consists of one master page and a corresponding page that is flowed. This contains two subforms : One with address fields that are hidden with the subsequent fields moving up, when the previous field is hidden. The layout being :
Name1
Name2
Addrs1
Addrs2
Addrs3
in the absence of anyone of these fields the one below gets moved up. The second subform in the page consists of a flowed suform which gets repeated multiple times and spans across pages as the data overflows. The data binding comes only from one set of data item hence the option for repetition based on each data item seems impractical.
Is there a way to display the address subform in the multipages created by the overflowing data, at the same position as in the first page? This couldn't be placed in the master page as then , the script for hidden fields doesn't work.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,

I just tried a sample for your requirements and it seems to be working.

Strange behavior with hidden text field for drill down

Hi All,
I am pretty sure I know the cause, just not sure how to work around...
I am trying to create a drill down report just like in the App Dev guide, and I have done everything the same as the example (2 times, once to follow the guide, and now on my app). The only difference is that I am using a text field rather than a numeric field as the link. This shouldn't be a problem (I wouldn't think) except that the text I NEED to use has '<==' in the middle. So when I check my session state var's, this is what I see:
CHPAG0SC_MAILCDN_000000047_ CHPAG0SC_MAILCDN_000000047_ <==20060525101642
When what I should see is:
CHPAG0SC_MAILCDN_000000047_ <==20060525101642
So I think that I am gettting duplication because of the characters, but again I don't know how to solve it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Scott,
I am trying to create a drill down report similar to the one in the app developers guide. I have a query on pg 1 that includes the required text field as the link. When I click the link, I get an error on pg 2 - which is trying to use the value from pg 1. I did check and saw that even though I set this value in session state (I thought that was what happened when I assigned the 'name' and 'value' in the column link), it is passed in the url, which is where I figured it was breaking. As stated, I need to use this text value as it is the only unique key for the data (currently - this is a data validation step (not an ApEx validation), where users are handling issues with data uploaded from a csv).
My current process is as follows:
1. User uploads 2 csv's
2. Proc moves (from wwv_flow_files) and parses csv back into records and inserts into temp (all varchar2) table(s).
3. User is displayed 3 'reports' - for each type of validation required - from the stage/temp table
4. User would click on the 'Edit' link (like the drill down sample) to see more details about the record.
5. Once the user is done with these reports, they would click another button to 'process' the data (move it into base tables)
Because the text field is always unique, I figured I wouldn't create a sequence for this like I have for the 'base' (destination) tables.
I didn't know that I was using a 'get' rather than a 'post', but of course it is a link, not a button - so I should ahve known better.
Is there a way to do this without adding a sequence generated id for each, or is that just the quickest way?
Thanks again,
Corey

Paging a data table with input text fields

I've created a datatable with input text fields so that contents can be edited. I have 'save' and 'cancel' buttons on the page so that changes can be saved or abandoned. That seems to work fine.
However, I have a problem with paging. If I modify an input text field, page to the next page in the datatable and then page back, the modified input text field reverts to the original entry in the database. Does anyone know how I can preserve this change (without issuing a commit) until the user clicks on the save button?
Here is a snippet of jsp with datatable.
<h:dataTable binding="#{DocTypeDetail.doctypeMetadataTable}" headerClass="list-header" id="doctypeMetadataTable"
rowClasses="list-row-even,list-row-odd" rows="5" style="left: 240px; top: 312px; position: absolute"
value="#{DocTypeDetail.doctypeMetadataTableModel}" var="currentRow">
<h:column binding="#{DocTypeDetail.column2}" id="column2">
<h:inputText binding="#{DocTypeDetail.textField1}" id="textField1" value="#{currentRow['name']}"/>
<f:facet name="header">

I know by now you must have figured it out. If not you might want to try keeping the backing bean in session instead of request scope.

Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field

Hi,
Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field and also each item's Text field?"
When we enter a invoice we enter a generic text on the Basic Data tab then enter a "+" on each individual line item which in turns defaults to the generic text. Just wanted to know if the check register could draw in the individual line item detail where we can enter text that relates to just that line item. Sort of like the MIR7 draws in the detail for each item.
Kindly help me in full fill the above requirement.
Thanks

Linking a select field with a text field in a DW form.....

I did try to search for this but nothing came to my attention. Apologies if it is already in the forum.
Is it possible to have a "select field" link with a "text field"? In other words The select field will provide different venues to choose from, in this case "Blog, Trade Show, Friend, Photo Magazine" and then after the choice is made a text field appears that allows you to provide details re. your choice. For example if you choose "Trade Show" from the select field the text field will then appear and prompt you to detail WHICH Trade Show. Something along those lines. Any assistance will, as always, be appreciated.

You need scripts for this. Try this jQuery tutorial

Alert view with a text field

Hi,
Is it possible on iPhone to create an alert with a text field?
Thanks,
Nava

You can subclass the alert and hack around with it, but in my experience, it would be easier to just write the functionality rather than trying to reuse the alert, but fighting it's built-in functionality.

Earliest Adobe Reader Version with Editable Text Field Functionality

Hi all,
Can someone inform me of the earliest version of Adobe Reader with which you can edit a document with editable text fields? I've designed a form using LiveCycle and, prior to distributing it to customers, would like to determine the minimum spec for Reader.
Thanks, JB

Editable fields came in with 3.0, but if you use LiveCycle Designer,
which is new technology, it's 7.0 or so.

Form Size with one text field 442kb

I started work on a new version of a three page dynamic form because the old version was 1,537kb.
After setting up my new blank master pages (3), I placed a text field on the blank "cover page". The from size went from 12kb to 442kb with one text field. How can one small text field with no caption increase the file size so tremondously. That's a factor of 36! Any suggestions? I am using:
Microsoft Windows 7
Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.6
Livecycle Designer ES2 Version 9.0
FYI: I have read that there exists some tools out there to inspect your pdf/xml and see what objects are increasing your file size. This would be very helpful, however I work for a company that gives very little freedom in downloading unapproved software. So unless there is an Adobe way to inspect for an object and its impact on size, I am in a tough situation. Thank you for your time.
https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=H06NjDMAiTS79khuQCoKKw

Remove the embed fonts feature to reduce your file size:
File > Form Properties > Save Options
Old version file size went from 1,537kb down to 132kb

PDFs with hidden text readable in reader, but not acrobat?

For some reason, when I scan documents into adobe acrobat the entire document is unreadable -- its all hidden text. However, when I open the same scanned document in adobe reader the text is perfectly readable. I have been receiving numerous pdfs from colleagues which have the same problem - i open them in acrobat, the text is hidden and unreadable, in reader its fine. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I've been able to play with the scanner settings and have managed to create pdfs without hidden text from the scanner. The true problem is that I have to print many of the PDFs i recieve -- many of them are quite large. When printing from reader, it takes at least 5 minutes per page. Any help/suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks

(I'm using the latest version of Acrobat, 9)

It would help to look at a sample. Can you post one?

Problem with a text field check

When there is nothing placed inside the text field it will return a message dialog box saying that there is nothing located inside the text field. However if there is something inside the text field it will perform a
doSpellingSuggestion and write the results to a .txt file.
This works as the search term can be found within the .txt file.
However when I try to display a message dialog box to display the contents of the .txt file that contains the spelling suggestion it will come out with an error from the catch statement
catch(Exception spelling_error)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null , "Spelling error = " +
spelling_error.getMessage());
It keeps showing an error message box saying "Spelling error = null"
It wont go past this line and thats the problem that i have. I tryed putting

I don't use SOAP, so I can't test your code.
If you really want people to read your code then it should be [url http://forum.java.sun.com/features.jsp#Formatting]formatted so it is readable with correct indentation of lines and highlighting of the source code.

Problem with Update Text fields in Infoset

Hi experts,
Here i would like to rephrase the question. Normaly while working with Infosets, when press "update text fields" button, those fields having text is updated. But one of my field is not updated. I need some help from you for that.
One more question i've that my field is having check table so i would like to know how exactly the text field is updated.
scenario.
Customized IT9320 has field prt_pos added. This field is having check table T528B. But i want text field to be attached is IT1000-STEXT.
How this can be done, because i suspect that just using check table field IT1000-STEXT is not attached to IT9320-prt_pos.
Please help. I'm really got stuck here.
Thanks a lot,
Toral.
Hi,
I'm working on customised Infotype. I need to add one new customised field ie Present Position. This field has number as well as text associated with it. There is a check table attached with this field so that text can be displayed alongwith number.
I need this field in SAP/Adhoc query. But when i go to SQ02 this fields shows only value. Text is disabled for this field. I'm not sure why is it so.
I looked into other infotype which as one field using same data element, and that field shows both value as well as text. Please help me to rectify this issue for present position field.
Thanks,
Toral.

You would be much better off with one multi-line form field.
There are many problems with trying to determine when one is at the end of the display field with text entry.

Problem with long text field.

Hi all,
I have a problem when I try to concatenate two fields.
It seems the new field only is 254 characters long?
Here is my syntax:
data: w_long_text(1000).
clear w_long_text.
    loop at iline.
      concatenate w_long_text iline-tdline into w_long_text separated by space.
    endloop.
I'm sure the text is longer then 254 becuase I can see the text in an Activity in the Sap Crm system.
Best Regards
Frode

Hi thomas
wat i would suggest you is better take an internal table with long_text(255) field .
data : begin of it_text occurs 0,
            long_text(255),
          end of it_text.
clear : w_long_text,it_text.
loop at iline.
concatenate w_long_text iline-tdline into w_long_text separated by space.
<b>it_text-long_text = iline-tdline.</b>
append it_text.
clear it_text.
endloop.
and when displaying the text keep that in a loop and print it.
This way u can display the whole text irrespective of the char length.
Reward points if helpful

Problem with a text field

Hi,
I want to load a string of characters to a text field of a table. I'm using SQL Loader.
I've tried to declare the field in several types: varchar2(4000), clob, raw, etc, but when I run sql loader to load the text I get the same error: The data file exceeds maximum lenght. I've tried with a shorter text and it works.
My question is, why I can't load long characters in that field?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Although you have made your table column up to size 4000, SQLLoader have not got a clue about that. You still need to tell SQLLoader that the text coming in is more than the default 255 in your control file. Strange isn't it?

How can I import a .doc (MS Word) with "hidden text" to a new Pages document?

Without changing the specific text in .doc to non-hidden, nothing but empty line returns comes across.
I have several .doc files and I am trying to streamline a process.

There is no hidden text in Pages and if Apple implemented it chances are it would not be the same as Microsoft's.
There quite a few variations between Pages and MsWord so transferring documents between them is a hit and miss at the best of times.

thanx in advacne

I'm not getting your requirement clearly, by my understanding ... you need to retrieve database whenever a <select> field trigger "onchange" - am I right?
If that is your requirement, it depends on what kind of solution you are looking into?
1. AJAX+Servlet (dojo/jMaki/write your own)
2. Java Server Faces (MyFaces/JSF)
3. write yourself a custom TAG (JSTL) to do the purpose (AJAX+Servlet/purely Servlet)
4. purely JSTL
5 purely Servlet
(please "Google" them by appending "<select> <option>"/ "populate combobox")
Personally I would recommend 1st or 3rd approach, even 2nd approach (MyFaces/JSF) is cool, but if your whole application is not written in JSF, no point to mixed the solutions.
If you want to try Ajax+TAG approach, refer following:
http://ajaxtags.sourceforge.net/
If you wish to use MyFaces approach, please refer following:

A forth/fifth approach will be much browser-portable, but the amount of coding will be more.
