Save-As-You-Type cfinput or cftextarea?

I am creating a form which lets users submit a job application. My main concern is that it will take people quite a lot of time to write their personal statements and experiences and the Session will timeout which means the work they have done so far will be lost. This would be very annoying to me!
The best solution would be for my form to save their work as they type, especially in the cftextarea and cfinput elements.
Could anyone please suggest how this may be achieved?

Google probably does it better than me, but if I were going to try that, I would write a js function that posts the the content of the form fields of interest to a coldfusion page that saves them somewhere.
I would call this function every x seconds, plus from the onblur event of the textarea.

"completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work for sql file

Hi there,
Just updated to 3.1 on my Mac Lion. It's very likely a bug since it used the work with 3.0.
I have a "temp.sql" file where I store several queries. I start SQL Developer, open "temp.sql", connect to a DB but "completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work anymore.
If I click in "Unshared SQL Worksheet", the new worksheet tab will work fine with completion and change case, but I want to use my temp.sql and save things there when closing the application.
To reproduce yourself the issue:
Open SQL Dev, connect to a DB (it will open a worksheet), do some queries and check that change case and completion are working, quit SQL Dev, but save the worksheet in a sql file before. Re-open SQL Dev and open the sql file. Connect to the same DB and try to change the queries or create another. Completion and change case won't work anymore.

Well, it's partially working, if your sql file is big (like mine), say with more than 1000 lines, then, maybe because of memory usage, the automatic completion won't work as expected, though, sometimes, after a while, crtl-space would stil work.
So, the problem may have been addressed, but I believe this feature can be definitely improved.

Would a 347 MB file be slow? Auto save and auto type turn off?

I am doing an art inventory and add jpegs of the art. I don't resize them they range from 750k to 3MB. I guess if it is slowing the program down i should? It currently is 267 rows by about 18 columns.
Thanks in advance.
Oh can I turn off auto save and auto type? That may help. How do I do that?

Done.
Enter Scrip Editor
paste the posted script

Below the left column, click
navigate to select your new folder
Below the right column, click
select the script image - normalize400.scpt
After that, drag and drop a picture file onto your folder.
The original will be move in the folder Originals (isn’t it original ?)
and a reduced copy 400 x height will be stored in the folder Normalized images.
And now, here is the script :

Isit possible to change the default save as file type settings?

Hi,
I would like to set the default "save" and "save as" file type to "PDF /A" instead of the default "PDF" due to compatibility issue with some of our systems. Can this be done?
So when a user click on the save button at the top it auto save as "PDF /A" and when the user select save as the default selection will be "PDF /A" ?

Dave,
Did you ever find an answer to this? We are having the same issue.
Thanks,
Mike

Always error when try to save my item type on workflow builder

Dear All,
I'm created a simple workflow. There is a notification with Result Type = Approval (Standard). Every I tried to save, workflow builder show a error message below:
WFDESV_FAIL COUNT=1
WFACTV_FAIL OPERATION=SAVE NAME=FIF_NOTIFY_APPROVER1_NTF TYPE=FIF
WFACTV_MESSAGE_RESULT RESULT=WFSTD_APPROVAL
What does it mean? I've tried to change Result Type with another standard Lookup Type (such as Boolean or another). But the error message still coming. How do I fix it?
Thank you,
Agas

Hi,
The first thing that is wrong is that your configuration is not finding the messages correctly, so that you get a meaningful message. Check that the keys in the registry for Workflow (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\Workflow have been created correctly - there should be a Languages key and then ENG with an entry for Help, Message and TemplateDir which point to your Workflow home. Once that is set up, then you should at least get a meaningful message :)
There are two possible problems here, but I haven't had chance to look in the messages file to see which one it is. Either the notification does not have a performer assigned to it when used in the process, or you have not modelled a transition for all available options - you need to model all responses, or use the "default" transition to capture those that you have not explicitly included.
HTH,
Matt

Save Error: File Type Unknown

Ok So here it is
I've been working on a project all day, saving all along and suddenly at the end of the day I go to save one last time and I get an error of "Save Error: File Type Unknown". At first I thought there was an unsupported file type somewhere in the project so I searched out all my non-video elements and they all checked out OK.
I then started shutting down the machine at lunch and that seemed to remedy the problem at first, but now I get the error at least 6 times a week - VERY frustrating. I've tried doing save as, which results in either a full crash or the same error.
I thought that maybe somehow the constant frames files were getting corrupted during the course of editing some how and started trashing those - no change still get the error.
Also I am editing HDV and rendering out ProRes. So far no one has been able to help So I'm turning to you guys!
Thanks guys!!

Making a text box expand as you type into it?

I was wondering if it is possible to make a text box (or any kind of box) expand as you type into it. Currently the box does not have a caption, I simply want to allow the value box to expand as i type into it. It would also be great if it would expand to another page...does anyone know if this is possible and if so how can i do it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and, yes, that is a mess x about 17.   The good news is I didn't design it -- the bad news is I got tagged to try and fix it.
I'll try to answer in order:
You haven't used any subforms so it's not going to work as-is.
                    I don't think whoever did the initial form knew about the subform issue so no provisions made for them.
I won't have time to look at it closely until tonight. Some questions/comments in the meantime:
Do you really need 2 master pages - does that block need to be at the bottom of each page? Or is it just supposed to follow everything else.
                     the information is to be on the bottom of every page -- clients/workers need to sign each page to prove they have read the information
You've used tables to do a lot of the layout - probably not a good idea.
                              if we need to dump the tables, that's fine - I looked at the 7_Questions_Flowing.pdf from another thread and I can make it work
                              the way it needs to with the information in a header but they WANT it as a footer.
You've made the Content Area the full size of the page, better to size it what you want your margins to be.
                                ok, that should be the easy fix of the batch
You have no master subform (or any at all for that matter...)
                             my problem was I couldn't find a way to add a master subform that didn't give me that message. If I couldn't get that
                              one to work without the error message then none contained within would either ??

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

How can I disable "search as you type" in Finder windows?

I have used OS X since it first came out and have upgraded to each version since then. I am now on Lion. I have endured "search as you type" for as long as it has been a "feature" and I must say that I am fed up with it, mainly because it slows me down. It makes the computer "get in my way," which is the very anathema Steve Jobs sought to destroy with Apple. My Mac should be a friendly tool that doesn't get in my way. Most of the time it is, but not when it comes to Finder searches.
Toward that end I wish to disable "search as you type" (or whatever the offical name for it is). More specifically, I want to disable it in the search bar in the upper right corner of Finder windows.
I don't care about the Spotlight menu in the menubar, as I never use that and don't want to train myself to use it. And I refuse to use an alternative search utility to Spotlight. I want to use the search field in the upper right corner of Finder windows, AND NOTHING ELSE. But at the same time, I want to kill "search as you type." I want to be able to type as fast or slow as I like and have my computer not search for anything at all until I hit RETURN. I don't want to argue about it. That is the way I want it. And again, I don't want to use a 3rd part utility, no matter how glorious some people may say they are because I stubbornly want to use the search bar atop every Finder window EXCLUSIVELY.
Therefore, is there some Terminal hack to accomplish this feat? If so, what is it?
Many thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing your solutions.

Having posted the initial question more than 1 week ago now, I must say that I am quite shocked and dismayed that not a single experienced individual among us in these forums has the knowledge to even approach my question! Not even a reply to say "it cannot be done"! Forgive me for being brash. But is everyone on vacation? Or does no one know? Or is everyone truly apathetic toward the existing functionality?
If our computers were so lightning fast that "search as you type" was instantaneous (i.e., displayed results a 50ms or so, and faster than I could notice such that my fingers were not slowed down at all as I type), I wouldn't have taken time to write about this. But I put forth the initial question because of the inherent slowness of "search as you type" and therefore I wish to know how one would go about disabling it on an OS level (i.e., without having to resort to a third party app).
I look forward to your insightful replies!
Thank you.

Does ECC 6.0 Provide a Search-as-you-type Enhancement for Sold-To Party Field?

In our quest to continually simplify the creation of sales orders, I would like to know if SAP has provided any way to simplify the search and entry of the customer sold-to or ship-to party. What I am looking for is a way to enter the customer's name (or other customer search criteria such as city) in a single field and have it search-as-you-type. This is also known as instant search, auto-complete and auto-suggestion.
We would like to eliminate the clicks it takes to use the standard F4 search help.
One of our internal developers has created a web-based (.NET) application that brings in SAP data for writing sales orders for a specific segment of our business. This tool allows you to find the ship-to party by typing in the customer's state, city, zip, address or name in the Ship-To field. The instant search feature narrow's the list down as you type. What he has done is written SQL to concatenate the customer name, customer number and address information, and then provided a search-as-you-type feature on top of this.
Fictious Example of concatenated data (State, City, Customer Name, Address, Zip, SAP Customer Number):
WA Seattle, Home Depot, 11616 Aurora Ave N, 98133, 18394978
Typing any of the above information in the field will search for matches and bring back results as you type.
I would like to know if ECC 6.0 has any similar feature that can be used in VA01 to accomplish the same thing.
Thank you.

I don't have access to the code our developer used but again, I am referring to a .NET browser-based application. We extract a subset of SAP data using Attunity (say, every hour) and the SAP data is stored in a separate SQL Server database. This database is used by a few browser-based applications we have developed. For example, we have an application that allows external customers or internal employees the ability to look-up the status of an order. The first thing you enter is the customer. In some cases, this may be the Ship-To. In other cases, the Sold-To. The user can simply enter some part of the customer and records are searched for a match, as you type. In our case, the lookup is occurring in SQL Server, not directly in SAP. The developer took a simple approach of using some SQL query magic (it may be in a SQL Server Stored Procedure), to concatenate the relevant customer information that most people use to lookup a customer - Customer Name, Address, Customer Number. So as you type, this entire concatenated string is searched and the list of potential "hits" is narrowed as you type.
The paradigm is similar to Google's Search as you type (SayT), which you can read about here:

Or auto-complete: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/106230
This is nothing new in the web commerce world.
I was told by an SAP rep that there might be an enhancement in SAP ECC (SAPGUI Desktop) that could do something similar. However, I never heard back from him and was wondering if anyone else had heard of something.
This is another example of how it seems SAP has fallen behind in their UI and search capabilities; and they need to catch-up. For those of us that have used SAP for many years, F4 seems straight forward and we sometimes don't understand why so many users don't also find it simple. The answer is, other vendors have made it more simple and with the consumerization of apps, SAP needs to get there.

Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts. Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Doesn't happen every time. Using Windows 7. What can I do?

Hi, DickmoAZ.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

Not able to save pricing condition type in Sales order

Hi
I have created a SO and there is a condition type pb00 that I have to enter manually. when I save it and come back and reopen the SO, the condition type vanishes. It does not give out any error and i tried different ways of updating like 'carry out new pricing', 'copy manual pricing' etc but it doesnot work. Please let me know how I can save this condition type in SO.
Thanks

Hi Prince,
Go to conditons analysis and check the access sequences and what is the message it giving for this condition type.
Check it once and revert back.

My illustator crashes when i try to save can you please help?

My illustator crashes when i try to save can you please help? im using Cs6

Archelass,
If the crashing happens when placing from/saving to new location with Yosemite, you maybe able to get round it by using the Adobe Dialog instead of the OS Dialog in the Place window (similarly for Save As in the Save As window).
If crashing happens when moving objects, the issue may be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution,
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6984777#6984777
or by the Adobe Color extension, see this post #2 byhexxstatic with the solution,
https://forums.adobe.com/message/7095368#7095368
or by the cache on the computer, see post #5 in this thread by Booklover with the solution,

Or, when issues start to appear in general you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:

5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
