Resizeable text field feature, only applies to textareas?

Can someone confirm that the resize feature 'text fields' really only applies to textareas, and not input fields with type of text.

If you take a look at a site with text fields (even this one, when you posted the message, the 'Model' and 'Other Details' field are Text Fields), they do not have resize bars, only text areas:
Text Field (no resize):

I created a Custom list New Form and need to make the text fields read only

When I use SharePoint Designer and add the read only attribute to the SharePoint form field, then it throws a web part error.
but here is the thing, I have current user Filters populating the Form Fields. So the form fields populate First name , last name etc. and I need these fields read-only....
the Client doesn t want the end user to Change those fields. Is there any way to "LOCK" the form fields?
As I have only 7 text fields that need to be locked down. and one field is a signature line that is a true input field.. where the user has to inter their initials.
Any ideas? as I have tried most of the items available thru searches nothing works, or it throws that web part error message.

Daniel: ( I'm now at work, a different ID is logged on for me)
I used SharePoint Designer.
Steps:
created a web part page
then on the SharePoint Designer ribbon I then went to insert:
new item form
Then I selected my data source (list)
then I placed the 8 columns on the page
a page viewer web part to pull the manual that people have to read.
and 7 current user filter webparts. (1 for each form field) Yes it is over kill, but I'm trying to keep this straight out of box as much as possible...
then for the form fields
I added a parameter and the read only tag see below in bold:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" text="{$ParamEmployID}" id="ff17{$Pos}" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('i',concat('ff17',$Pos),'Text','TextChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Employee_x0020_ID')}"
ReadOnly="True" />
I also added the parameters in the ribbon area
the error message doesn't tell me much, it just send me to web part maintenance page...
if I removed the ReadOnly = True then the error goes away..... So I was trying to find a quick simple JQuery and or javascript code item that would make the 7 text fields readonly and leave the
8th text field alone to allow people to place their initials on the page to say that they read the manual.
I have created hundreds of these types of pages .. this is the first time I have run into this issue, but it also the first time I have tried to use the ReadOnly = True item.
Any Ideas and or thought on how to make the items read only? and not throw the error.

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

Is it possible to show/hide a result text field only if another Text field is visible and has content?

Hi
Please could someone tell me if it is possible to make a text field visible only if another text field is visible and has content?
I have this which works for the content part, but sometimes the field is hidden, so the script must not apply.
var v1 = getField("Text1").value;
event.target.display = v1 !== "" ?
display.visible : display.hidden;
What I need is something along the lines of:
var v1 = getField("Text1").value;
event.target.display = (v1 !== "" && v1!=="Hidden") ?
display.visible : display.hidden;
Thanks for any advise.

Thanks for the hints which led me to the right solution. I created a query to check if the trigger for the visibility was there or not, and this works. The script I have used is:
var v1 = getField("Text1").value;
var v2 = getField("Checkbox").value;
var v3 = getField("Text2").value;
event.target.display = (v1=="" || v3=="" && v2=="On" ) ?
display.visible : display.hidden;

Read-Only Text Field Using JavaScript Code

I'd like to make a text field read-only by using JavaScript and also having IF & ELSE statements.
I want it to be like this:
if the answer from the dropdown menu is YES, then the text field is read only but if the answer is NO then the text field is fillable.
Thanks in advance

Use this code as the custom validation script of the drop-down in question:
this.getField("Text1").readonly = (event.value=="Yes");

How do u make a text field for int only

Hi I wanted to make the text Field int only
I.e
int temp = 0;
temp = testField.getText();
Thanks in advance

Rarna, I think this is what you are asking. This is a bare-bones TextField that only accepts keys that are numeric. I found that the left and right arrows still work. Backspace and delete do not so you would have to add additional case statements and code to handle these if you want to support them. I added a main method to try this out.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class NumericTextField extends TextField implements KeyListener {
   public NumericTextField() {
      super();
      this.initField();
   public NumericTextField(int columns) {
      super(columns);
      this.initField();
   public NumericTextField(String text) {
      super(text);
      this.initField();
   public NumericTextField(String text,int columns) {
      super(text,columns);
      this.initField();
   private void initField() {
      setEditable(false);
      addKeyListener(this);
   public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
      int key=e.getKeyCode();
      switch(key) {
         case KeyEvent.VK_0:
         case KeyEvent.VK_1:
         case KeyEvent.VK_2:
         case KeyEvent.VK_3:
         case KeyEvent.VK_4:
         case KeyEvent.VK_5:
         case KeyEvent.VK_6:
         case KeyEvent.VK_7:
         case KeyEvent.VK_8:
         case KeyEvent.VK_9:
            setText(getText()+e.getKeyChar());
   public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {;}
   public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {;}
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Frame f=new Frame();
      NumericTextField ntf=new NumericTextField();
      f.add(ntf);
      f.pack();
      f.setVisible(true);

How to autopopulate a text field with unique data from multiple data sets

Hi,
I'm a laboratory manager in charge of a hospital project which will be using pdf forms to send and receive data from our end users across the city. I need help with the last part of our pdf form, specifically with a js that will do a bit of text-field autopopulation magic. This, unfortunately, is a beyond what I have taught myself about pdf js functionality.a
The problem:
I need to provide my end users with a text field containing a set of data [A, B, C, D, E, F ...] and the total items in this set [tot#]. The end user needs this information as part of the implementation of this particular laboratory machine.
The particulars
When the end user asks for an experiment to be run, we must specify some pieces of data to help them interpret the results. These are constructed as panels which contain discrete data elements.
For example - One experiment may use two panels, Panel#1 and Panel #2. Panel #1 includes the items A, B, D, E, Panel #2 includes the items A, B, C, F, G.
Thus, the panels may share some of the same items, but, I only want the unique members to be displayed in the text field. If I make a drop down box or checkboxes with the panels, I want to be able to select the panels that we ran and (in this example) have the text field display only the unique items among all the panels that were used:
textfield outpute = A, B, C, D, E, F, G - 7 total.
Any assistance from the pdf community would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for that help.
I should have made it more apparent that I'm very new to scripting and I'm
not a programmer by trade. I have a few questions before modifying the code
you kindly provided.
1) Where should I embed this script? Within the 'selection change' area of
my listbox?
2) Can I replace the term 'arr' with the names of the various items in my
listbox or should I put 'arr#' as the output value for each term?
3) Will this script find and display the unique values when a user selects
multiple items in my listbox?
4) How does the script know where to output the unique members of the
combined set?
I appreciate your patience with me.

How to make users to select the date from calendar control my making the date field read only in date time control in external list in sharepoint 2010

How to make users to select the date from calendar control only, by my making the date text field read only (don't want to let users type the date) in date time control in external list in sharepoint 2010. I am looking for a solution which can
be done through sharepoint desginer / out of the box.
thanks.

Congratulate you got the solution by yourself. I am new to a
WinForms calendar component, I feel so helpless on many problems even I'd read many tutorials. This question on the
calendar date selection did me a great favor. Cheers.

Script needed to print complete contents in scrolling text field Acrobat Pro 9 (MAC)

I've seen this question several times in my search but no real solution. My client wants a form with text fields that only show 1-2 lines when viewed on-screen but are scrollable so that the user can input a lot of text. I had no problem creating that. The problem occurs when I try to print the form. Only the visible lines of text print and not the entire contents of the field.
Is there a Javascript that I can assign to a Print button in my form that can be assigned to the Mouse Down action that will make the entire field contents print? I even recreated the form in WORD so that when the user inputs text into the field, the contents of the form move down the page. My client didn't like that approach. I'm not a programmer and so I haven't been able to write my own script to handle the printing issue. I'm MAC based so using Livecycle isn't an option for me. Thanks!

I'm using Acrobat Professional 9. I used to use Livecycle which was more flexible, but I no longer have a PC, only MAC and Adobe doesn't make Livecycle for the MAC.
The client doesn't want larger fields unfortunately. They have questions that require 2 or 3 pages of information to be entered into a small text field but they don't want large fields. If they're reviewing the answers online, it's fine - they can just scroll through the text fields and read the answers but they don't want the completed text fields to expand unless the form is printed.
I've already set up my text fields to be multi-line and scrollable so that the client can review all of the text in the field if they are looking at the saved PDF online. The problem I'm having is that I need the entire contents of the text field to be visible ONLY when printed out. They don't want larger fields to show in the form. The client was quite specific about it. The form is also going to be used infrequently, so collecting the data and storing it on a server isn't something they're particularly interested in. The information is also confidential, so they do not want me to be collecting and storing the data and sending it back to them in another format. The easiest option I could see was to create a script tied to a PRINT button that printed out the complete text field.
Thanks!

Limit the amount of characters of a text field based on first digit

Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
I would like to limit the amount of characters of the text field based on the first digit of the number (the text field is only limited to a number format...no decimals, no commas).
For example, if the number begins with a 3, I would like to limit the text field to allow only ten characters. I have three scenarios but if I could get started with some code and what is the best place to add it (keystroke or validation?) I can take it from there. Thanks again for your help!!

I've written this code for you that does that. Use it as the field's custom Keystroke code:
// Validate that only digits are entered
if (event.change) {
    event.rc = /^\d+$/.test(event.change);
// Validate string length if it starts with 3
if (/^3/.test(AFMergeChange(event))) {
    event.rc = AFMergeChange(event).length <= 10;
    if (!event.rc) app.alert("If the number starts with \"3\" it may not be longer than 10 digits.",1); // optional error message
You can duplicate the second part of it for additional conditions, but keep in mind that this code won't even let you remove the first character in the field if the result is an invalid one.
For example, if you enter "234567890123456" then you can't remove the "2" at the start because that would result in an invalid number. You can remove any of the other digits, though, and when it's 10 digits or less then you could remove the starting "2" as well.

Long Text Field Flowing incorrectly to next page

Hi Guys,
I have checked the "Allow Page Breaks within Content" in a subform. I include a text field in the subform and checked "Allow multiple lines" so if the long text cannot fit in the text field within one page, it will continue to next page. The problem now is the content in the second page is not continue from the first page, but it is copy the content from first page.
For example: 8 lines need to fit into text field. Only 5 lines can fit into text field in first page. Then the line 6-8 should continue in second page. Yes, the text field have 3 lines in second page, but not line 6-8, it copies the line 1-3 from the first page.
Anyone have experience on this or anyone can help me?

Hi,
I found a solutions to my problem (and posted it also to the SAP-SDN forum).
I changed following setting in the LiveCycle Designer (in Netweaver Dev. Studio):
edit->Form Properties->Defaults->Preview->Preview Type->Choose Print Form (instead of Interactive Form)
I prepared some XML-Data and used the preview: voila - no scrollbars!
Since we only create PDF for printing the result is ok.
Update: Only in preview mode the scrollbar is missing not when I use it in server application (web dynpro - ads).
Cheers,

Character & in text field or textarea

In a page, I have '&' in text field/textarea. I also have select list with submit. When select list changes value, the submit invokes a branch, which I set the values of the text field/text area to itself to avoid values disappear before applying changes.
If the text field/textarea has & sign in there, every time if I change value in the select list, it adds 'amp;' right after '&'. How do I avoid that?
Thanks,

Scott,
Instead of re-create what I have onto apex.oracle.com, here is ATD's similar example that I am trying to do:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=56976:1, My case is similar to his mutiple values.
But instead of following his example, I had already done it in this way:
Use select list with submit, invoke after submit process to populate the display fields. But the submit blanks out those newly entered data, therefore I set all values in the branch after submit.
I would like to following ATD's example, but I have two questions:
1. What type of select list is it?
2. GetElementsByTagName("ENAME"), is ENAME the label of a column?
Thanks,
Yivon

How to get the text field in the header for only first page of the report

Hi,
I am developing reports in BI Publisher Enterprise where i am facing problem i.e., i have to get some text field in header,for only first page in the result but it is displaying in all the other pages of the report in result.So,please if you have any idea of how to solve it, please reply.It is required as early as possible.
Thanks in Advance

Invalid path? What are you doing? Writing the report output to an invalid directory?
Where are your terms and conditions? It would be very easy just to put them in a database table and select them in your report query.
