Removing pre filled responses in text field

New to livecycle and I am creating a new form and have been simultaneously testing it. When i am entering information in a text field all of the information I have entering pre populates and I'm worried the end user will see this. I cant seem to remove this and ots vey distracting. How do I clear this?

Hi,
Can you describe further what do you mean by prepopulates when you enter info? Do you mean an auto-completion like pre-population? Or does the field get prepopulated BEFORE you key in any values in the text field? Or do you mean the text field ignores what is being typed in, and pre-populates with a default value?
Regards,
Ber

How can I remove blank spaces in a text field? Some text fields have a lot of blank fields that need to be removed so that I can report only on the text.

Populate a drop down list with data from Excel and fill in a text field, based on drop down selectio

Hi!
I have a problem with a PDF form: There's a drop down list that I populate with Excel data that I've put in an XML file through an XSD file -- no problem here. The drop down list has a data binding to the XML file, so that a choice in the drop down list can be associated with an object in the XML file. So, when I make a choice in the drop down list, a corresponding object value is fetched from the XML file and put in a text field on the form.
How to do this is described by Stefan Cameron here:
http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/29/dynamic-properties/
There's a snag, though, and to describe it more clearly:
The XML file contains three types of objects: role, role number, and role cost center. Of these I use the first and the third, i.e. the role and the role cost center. The drop down list contains the roles, and when I select a role, the corresponding cost center is filled out in the text field. So far, so good!
But -- if the cost center has the same value for two or more roles, all of these roles "bounce back" into the drop down list, that is, they are all selected in the drop down list. How many of these you can see depend on the height of the drop down list -- if it's low you'll only see the first one.
If I modify Stefan Cameron's data in his example I get the same behavior, so the problem seems to have to do with how XML data are fetched.
I'm sure there's a workaround, but I can't find it! I've spent many hours browsing the web without finding anyone with a similar problem.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Although your issue is far beyond mine, I was hoping you can help me out.....
I need to create a drop down list of names which I wish to somehow link to an Excel spreadsheet.
Please let me know the steps I need to do. I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thank you

Mavericks slow response for text fields

Has anyone noticed that any text field is really really slow in response after upgrading to Mavericks? I have a mid 2011 mac mini with 8 GB ram, 2.5 TB external disk drives.
It is really driving me crazy having to wait to enter text in. Most noticeble in Safari and iWorks.
thanks
Paul

Hello Paul,

How to change the font used to fill in a text field.

Can you please tell me how to change the font that comes up when a text field is filled in?
Can I change this setting in InDesign or does it have to be done in Acrobat?

It must be done in Acrobat. InDesign only allows Times Roman for some reason.
To change it in Acrobat 11, open the PDF and select: Tools > Forms > Edit
and select the field(s) you want to change, bring up the field properties dialog, and look on the Appearance tab for the font dropdown.

Filling in Rich Text fields in PDF

Is it possible to fill in RichText fields in a PDF from Coldfusion? I need to have certain words bolded, etc. I created the form in liveCycle and the field in question has Rich Text selected Field and Data format. When I assign data to the field through ColdFusion, the text is always just plain text. Any ideas?

Hi,
Thank you Linda Li. I saw the URL link you sent me on your reply

Our SharePoint 2010 InfoPath 2010 form is working.
Where i need help is the emails sent from SharePoint Designer WorkFlow Email function - The SharePoint site owners do not want to send by email PLAIN TEXT data from the InfoPath RTF they want to send by email Rich Text value look ups from the RTF.
SEND E-MAIL IN A WORKFLOW
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/send-e-mail-in-a-workflow-HA010239042.aspx
everything works fine - except aligning the RTF with the other field look ups. our email has an HTML table where we have plain text fields, date fields, and RTF - I need with INLINE CSS STYLE code since remote CSS or any type of CSS does not work only INLINE
CSS worsk on SP WorkFlow Emails
EXAMPLE: you can create a Workflow Variable that has a simple HTML table, and when SP workflow sends the email the values in the cells do not line up, if the RFT values are blank from the InfoPath form the email table looks greate, as soon as you type any
value in the InfoPath form RFT the email does not line up to the any of the other html cell text or other Look up values to the InfoPath form.

Automatic fill up the text fields

Hi everyone!
I have the table with 3 columns - name&surname,birthday and the place of birthday.
Also I have drop-down list which is filled with items from name&surname column and 3 text fields which according as birthday and place of birthday columns.
So, when I will choose one item from drop-down list, I want that 3 text fields automatic will fill up with data from table.
I hope you understood me.
Thanks anyway!

It is simply a case of navigating the hierarchy of the Form structure to get to the object that you want. For example if I have a form and a page on the page we have a table with rows and in the row we have a field, you would use an expression something like this:
TargetField.rawValue = form1.Page1.Table1.row[instance number].fieldname.rawValue
where instancenumber is a 0 based index of the row that you want to extract.
Hope that helps

Multiple checked boxes fill in common text field

I am attempting to create a form that has various criteria that are checked off (check boxes) and need to populate a common text field within the same form. Presently with action items I am able to design the form so that when only one item is checked it shows up on in the text field at a time not multiples Any suggestions would help.
Thank you

1) In the Binding tab of your checkboxes you can put the On Value to whatever you want to populate the common text field with and the Off Value blank.
2) Assuming all your check boxes names are CheckBox under the same subform use this script in the calculate event of your common text field:
var aChkList=[];
var vChecks = CheckBox.all;
for (var a=0;a<vChecks.length;a++){
if (!vChecks.item(a).isNull){
aChkList.push(vChecks.item(a).rawValue);
this.rawValue=aChkList.join(", ");

Simple A2 Question: Removing pre-filled fields

Greetings -
I know there's likely a simple answer for this one, but I can't seem to find it.
When entering metadata in the import dialogue, some fields are filled in when I type a few characters. But there are cases where I'd like to remove an entry that I USED to use, leaving only one possible entry. For e.g., in Copyright I used to have "© 2009 R...", but now want only the "© 2010 R..." entry.
How do I delete the first, older entry?
Thanks!
Rob

Gocuk2 --
Thanks for the reply. At first, it didn't seem to address the question, but it DID lead me to the answer, so thank you very much!
This really had nothing to do with keywords, but in taking a look, I found a menu entry in the Metadata menu for "Edit Autofill List." I don't know why I didn't see that before.
The problem had to do with the fact that, with multiple entries, I had to type a number of different characters before finding the list entry that I wanted to use. Now that I've weeded out the unwanted entries for, say, Copyright, a single character will bring up the one entry that I want to use.
Thanks again,
Rob

I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my usernames prefills the UN field and I can't access the other account. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled username. Ideas?

I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my two user names (always the same one) pre-fills the user-name field and I can't access the other account. The website rightfully rejects my password. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled user-name because the second I hit enter to logon, the original user-name rewrites itself into it's field. Neither of the user names is being saved by firefox anywhere in the "tools"; Options, security, advanced or privacy menu fields.
I did notice that that website has installed a cookie onto my computer called "_rememberme" which contains the user-name that is plaguing me.
This is a website that I access for very sensitive and important information and I must have both accounts accessible at different times.
Thanks, Joshua
XP, sp3; FF3.6.3
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I added the second account on this website.

You need to clear that remember me cookie and make sure that you remove a check mark to remember you on that website.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can disable the automatic fill of a name and password.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_only_filled_after_entering_user_name
http://kb.mozillazine.org/signon.autofillForms
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Query form when field pre-filled - How?

Greetings:
I am going to use a single form for creating, modifying, and deleting records as such functionality is available from a form created (table based) using Portal's form wizard.
I am attempting to pre-fill one of the fields on the form (it tells me where the form was called from) for use when inserting a record. However, if I perform a query instead, I get no results as the pre-filled field is used in building the query. What I want to do then, is save-off the pre-filled value to a local variable upon the form being created; then, perform a RESET on the form to allow for querying. I'm not having success saving-off this pre-filled value to a variable.
Question 1: What function call and where should I place it, to save-off this pre-filled form value (Additional PL/SQL tab section)?
Question 2: How to perform a Reset action on the form after saving-off the pre-filled value?
Many thanks for any ideas and guidance.
Ed in Tampa

Greetings:
I've put this code in the QUERY_TOP button's SQL BUTTON EVENT HANDLER (for Query), as I have the Loc_Code field pre-filled with a value (hard-coded from the calling page):
DECLARE
v_Loc_Code varchar2(15) := NULL;
BEGIN
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => 'A_LOC_CODE',
p_value => v_Loc_Code);
doQuery;
END;
I'm attempting to clear-out this field if I query; however, querying still does not return anything.
Am I doing this in the correct place? Is this field really getting a NULL value now?
Thanks for any and all guidance.

Can you create a webform which combines a check box list with a text field?

In Business Catalyst I'm looking to create a question and answer web form where visitors to the site fill out a choice or choose other and fill in a text field. See sample below...
Has anyone got any suggestions on how this could be done?
The question would be as follows...
Do you live in the area?
_ Yes
_ Cottager
_ Visiting
_ Other Location _____________

Liam,
Thanks for your response, now I'm finding out from the client that this is really an anonymous survey that they want to put on the site. They have been using an online survey but it keeps asking people to join by email. They are getting complaints about that so they want to find another way.
I've tried to make the form anonymous but I can't remove the email field. Can this be hidden so it doesn't show. Or is there another way to do this?
I'm not able to code javascript and there are other questions which are similar to the sample I gave which require a text field as well as check boxes.
