Problem with drop down list: on Windows it works, on Mac doesn't

Dear forum,
I am reworking the MultiPageImporter2.5 script by Scott Zanelli; going to add some new features.
So far I added a drop down list so the user could choose on which pages to place a pdf/indd file: odd/even/both.
However I encountered a strange problem: on Windows it works as expected, but on Mac nothing happens when I click the popup. When I write a dialog, I almost always use automatic layout and never encountered such a problem before. But in this script the author uses fixed position for the controls so I followed his coding style:
dLog.pageSideMode = dLog.pan4.add('dropdownlist', [10,110,180,40], ["Odd and Even Pages", "Only Odd Pages", "Only Even Pages"]);
dLog.pageSideMode.selection = pageSideMode;
The drop down list is visible both on Windows and Mac, but on Mac it’s not clickable. What am I doing wrong?
Another question: in the script, the author created three popups. In the code, each popup has a different height (the last element of the “bounds” array) – 60, 88, 33. Does it make sense to make them different if on the screen they look exactly the same (I mean height).
Here’s my version of the script.
I think the easiest solution for me here is to rework the dialog part from fixed to automatic layout.
Thanks in advance.

Hi johniko,
In my version of the script, the user will have to choose a file to be placed directly in the dialog box. The selected file can be saved into a preset. I'm reworking it for another person (not for myself) and that's what he wants.
Regards,
Kasyan
P.S. By the way, you can simply merge all your pdf-files into a single document in Acrobat.

Problems with drop-down list: old references still in the model

Hi,
I am getting in troubles with a drop-down list. I configured it as dynamic list and I specified a RFC to get the values. Sometimes when I edit the field I get that the configuration for the dynamic list is lost and I have to specify again the call to the MF. I did this for a couple of times and my surprise is that the old references are still in the source code. I realized of that when I used the alias manager. The old reference were there with ENUM....To check if the old references are called I switched on the flash debug console and I show that the MF is called a lot of times...
Anybody knows how to eliminate these old reference???' One the collateral effects is that the first value of the list is always shown.
Antonio

Hi Antonio, hi Marcel,
the OSS-ID is 0000337147/2007 and the final given answer from SAP was:
<i>Dear Customer,
finally I managed to repreduce your problem,
and it's a bug.
we will aim to fix it in next releases, and the new Flex 2.0 runtime
should handle this case, once it will be availible.
Regards,</i>
So it might be fixed with the actual SP, but I don't know that for sure (I rather doubt it, to be honest).
Best Regards,
Benni
PS: You might avoid the problem of re-defining the entry list, by defining it as a global entry list, not a dynamic. However, the top-most entry will still be shown!

Need help with drop down list in parameters

Hi All,
I have the following data set:
DEPT1     DEPT2     DEPT3 DEPT4
Commissioner's Office     Finance     Accounting     Accounts Payable
Commissioner's Office     Finance     Accounting     Fiscal Analysis & Repo
Commissioner's Office     Finance     Accounting
Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management     Inventory & Tracking

Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management
Commissioner's Office     DesignProj Mgt & Tec     Bridge Dsgn Insp Hyd
In plus i have four parameters with searchlight options, the problem is when i select "Finance" from DEPT2 and in the next selection level i'm seeing all the departments "Accounting,Asset Management and Bridge Dsgn Insp Hyd" insted of just "Accounting". What i want is if i select a department in DEPT2, in the next drop down list(DEPT3) i want to see only the departement corresponding to the one i selected in dept2. Please need help.
Thanks

Hi
First of all you need to be using Discoverer 10g or 11g Plus not 9.0.4. Assuming you have the right version you need to present the parameters in the correct order. You can change the order on the parameters screen by selecting Tools | Parameters from the toolbar. You then use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to place them in the right order so that DEPT1 is offered first, followed by DEPT2, then DEPT3 and then DEPT4.
Next, you need to check the radion button on the bottom of the right-hand side that allows linking of parameters then you make DEPT2 dependent upon DEPT1, with DEPT3 dependent upon DEPT2 and so on.
While this works without hierarchies it works best when you have a hierarchy in place and even better when there is a composite index on the 4 items.
Best wishes

Prob with drop down lists jiggling

Hi all
This is a little different than the last posted problem. When I click on a drop down list..for example a list of states, I can only scroll so far down. The list jiggles up and down, when you get only about 1/2 way down it suddenly shifts back to the top of the list. There is no way to capture for example Pa or Va.
Could it be the mouse?
Thx

I need help with drop down lists

I have a form that does not have lots of space and I want to use drop down lists to fill in specific information that describes site conditions. The problem I have is that the drop down list is only set up for a single line and that is not enough space for what I want in the drop down list. In other words, I have items that are several sentences. I have seen some descriptions of creating a drop down list that then fills in a text box that has multiple lines. Unfortunately, that is not an ideal solution for me. I just want the drop down list to select a single phrase. Here is an example of what I want to be able to select in the drop down.
The water heater spilled flue gases in excess of 5 minutes under worst case conditions. The combusiton testing was completed with in 30 days of the invoice submittal.
The form does not allow me to create a field that goes all the way across the page so it needs to look something like this:
The water heater spilled flue gases in excess of 5 minutes
under worst case conditions. The combusiton testing was
completed with in 30 days of the invoice submittal.
Any help is greatly appriciated.

Thanks for responding.
I have three items that are very similar in length and text for each drop down. There are 9 drop downs right now. I am using the drop downs to fill in a form that is used by several people and I want to keep things as simple as possible. Associated with the drop down already is a check box. When the check box is checked, it fills in a text box with a score (1 point, 5 points, etc). That score then tallys for a total with all the other scores in another text box. Using a drop box to fill in a text box is just getting to busy and than I have to distinguish each drop down item so it is clear which text you are selecting.

Datatable with drop down list in a cell

Does anyone know the existing example of datatable against certain memory structure with possibility to have drop down list in a cell ( I mean after switching to editing mode some columns become drop down lists , otherwise just value ).
TIA
Michael

Not possible. InDesign isn't designed to be form-filling software. At best, it can create fields which can be passed on to a PDF file, which usually further has to be edited in Acrobat Pro.

Web Service with Drop Down Lists for database selections

Hello,
I want to define a Web Service with the JDeveloper which can do the following.
I´ve got a database table with several columns which represents a customer adress and name.
On a WebSite I like to have three Drop Down Lists to search in that table. The first list should include the field "name". When I select a name there the second list should show all streets (field "street") where people with the selected name live. When I select the street the third list should show me the house numbers (field "hn") of the customers with the selected name and street.
What have I to do to define a application, a project and so on?
Many Thanks!

Hello,
This question is not directly related to Web Services, since in this case you can consider that the Web Service is your "model" providing data to your view (JSP). One of the question I would like to ask you is: why do you want to use a Web Service to do that? and how you want to deploy this?
In a general manner, if you use Web Service it is to be able to reuse the business logic in other projects, so based on this statement I would create a specific project that will contain you "model" so all your services.
The to consume it from your JSP you have different ways:
- create a Java proxy, or use @WebServiceRef to call the client
- use Javascript to call the service directly from the HTML page, take a look to the Oracle Web Service endpoint page, where you can see some Javascript stub links.
Please give more details about your project and needs and I will try to give you a proper answer.

Problems with drop down menu in html snippet

Hi all,
I am trying to use a form with a drop down menu so the user can jump directly to the corresponding page. I am using the code generated by http://javascript.internet.com/generators/drop-down-menu.html, and it works correctly when I test it in the "Show me the drop down menu" option on their page.
This is the html code:


<BODY>




<form name="jump">
<select name="menu" onChange="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex] .value;" value="GO">
<option value="">select genre</option>

<option value="http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/world.html">world</option>
</select>
</form>
When I paste this code into an html snippet in iWeb, my page does not work correctly after publishing to a folder. The jump to location doesn't open its corresponding page. Instead, it defaults to the same page that has the drop down menu, only the menu doesn't appear any more. Instead, I get a "hole" where the drop down menu used to be.
This is my URL: http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/jingles.html
I examined the code of the page with the html snippet generated by iWeb, and to my surprise I couldn't even find the html code of the form with the drop down menu. Where is it?
Please help!

Green Star for you!
JSYK,
You didn't actually give PressWeb the green star by marking his post as the post that solved your question. You merely marked the question as answered but never actually marked PressWeb's post as being the post that answered your question, which will in effect reward PressWeb with the green star as seen by a green star appearing in the header for his post. I only mention this because you have incorrectly mentioned rewarding PressWeb with a green star.
Hope that helps.

Dynamic table with drop down lists

I have a Dynamic table with a header row, Section and footer row.
Section has the following cells(columns): Cell1 (drop down with locations), button (to remove row), CCode (Color Code RAL), CName (color name).
I'm starting with 1 row.
now what I want to do is, when they select in CCode e.g. RAL 1003 (rawValue "1") then in CName the name "signal yellow" (rawValue "1") should appear.
I'm using javascript
My first problem is how do I know which value is chosen, because this isn't working:
if (this.rawValue == 1)
xfa.host.messageBox('Today')
and second how do I set the value in CName
because this only sets it in the first CName cell:
xfa.form.DataSheet.TechnicalInformation.Markings.THatchPatterns.Section.CName.rawValue = '1';
Please help me, I'm totally lost

solved the problem, instead on change event put script on exit event.
and the following line does the trick:
xfa.resolveNode("THatchPatterns.Section[" + this.parent.index + "]").CCode.rawValue = this.rawValue

Problem with drop down menus in firefox 4

when I scroll over a drop down menu, for example when I right click and put the cursor over one of the options it goes black. If I scroll over one of the menu bar drop down menus as I move over one of the options it stays highlighted in gray. I am running firefox 4 and have already tried turning on the menu bar and turning off hardware acceleration

Nasty Safari 5.1 problem with drop-downs on Lion

There appears to be a nasty bug in Safari on Lion related to certain types of drop-downs where clicking on the drop-down resets the entire page. I have already encountered it on several webpages. Here is a link to a webpage which shows this behavior.
http://www.sonos.com/login/
If you scroll to the bottom half and try to create a new account, you are unable to do so since the required Country value (via drop-down) cannot be set as it resets the page whenever you click or try to access it via keyboard. I guess it is good to keep Chrome and Firefox around for pages that Safari can't handle, but it would seem that this is something basic that Apple's automated test suites should have caught. Again, it does not happen with all drop-downs, only certain types.

I had the same problem with a site I developed. I found out how to fix the problem here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7165086/clicking-safari-5-1-select-menu-refre shes-page
It's a problem with using webfonts on select forms in the CSS. If you disable the webfont on select forms, the problem goes away. Hopefully, Apple fixes the problem soon since it's a major bug. It doesn't just reload the page but it logs you out if you're signed into the site.

Problem with tabbing down lists

Hi,
I answer a lot of surveys, and have noticed that when tabbing down a list of selections with circular radio buttons, many of the items get skipped. I have to use the mouse to click these selections.
But when I'm tabbing down a list of square-shaped radio buttons, they are highlighted one-by-one, making it easy to fill out forms.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Late, but perhaps it helps someone.
Please read Doc 469738.1 in Metalink:
set LANG to xx_YY.WE8ISO8859P15 or anything else, but not to UTF8.
e.g.
$ export LANG=de_DE.WE8ISO8859P15

Ralph
