Script that will automaticly set the focus to the next text box after the previous one is completed

Specificly, entering a SSN into a form with three text boxes. 1st box for first 3 digits, 2nd box for middle 2 digits, and 3rd box for last 4 digits. I would like the user to be able to enter the 1st three digits into the 1st box, and after the 3rd digit is entered, the focus jumps to the 2nd box, then once the middle two are entered, the focus jumps the the 3rd box without having to manually use the tab key to advance through the boxes. Thanks.

See JavaScript - setFocus Method for tabbing to next form field for a sample form that uses a document level script and custom keystroke script. See Entering Document Scripts and Entering scripts for form fields by Thom Parker for detailed instructions on entering or viewing these type of scripts.

How can I create a simple app that will automatically add folder script

Hi! I hope I can get a little help on this. I tried searching online and haven't found anything.
Is there away I can make a simple "application" that will automatically add a folder script to a users folder?
Basically I need a folder script to run but I don't want to explaint o a user how they'd have to do it in automator.
I'd like to be able to create an application they double click. The app tells them to select a folder then automatically runs the script.
Does anyone have any ideas of how'd I'd do this?

Oh I get it. Yeah I read you post on one of the other pages and didn't quite understand, but not that you say that your're makeing this for another user, it makes sence.
So what you want to do is have the computer automatically install a script on a customer's computer, right?
(I'm using "custumer" loosly; i.e. just another user)
If that's what you'd like to do, then you'll probably have to write an actual program in Xcode, since I imagine automiticlly installing folder action scrips will be highly discuraged by Apple because it would cause a huge security hole in the OS. (You wouldn't want some random person sending you a folder action installer disgused as a regular app LOL.)
But I will actually suggest the following, which I think will work great for your users:
Make a regular Automator app, and drag it to your Dock. Now, have the user click and drag a bunch of photos to the application icon, and it will run the app automatically on those files.
You could try a work flow like this:
ask the user Are you sure?
convert pictures
save pictures to ConvertedPics folder
pop up a confirmation message saying that everything was resized
Hope this helps

Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

Clicking on a picture or link that will automatically open up a 2nd window to view, but the window will open up but it appears blank

When clicking on a picture or link that will automatically open up a 2nd window to view, the window will open up but it will just appear blank and says Type a Web address in the top bar.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

If you are querying by user "resultset size" will be of no use.
You also have functions that are never used and the body code doe snot look for users.

I have a dial up connection and I'm looking for a download accerator that will automatically start when the download(update) starts.

I have a dial up connection. When I get a program update that
may be 100M in size it can take a lot of time. I'm looking for a
download accelerator program that will automatically start in
this kind of situation. I know there are programs that if you
know the site and the name of the download you want, you put
this info in and the accelerator program works. But there is
no way that I can figure to put this info in when a program
tells me an update is available and then starts a 7hr download.

That's the size of Firefox Setup 6.0.2.exe, which I started to download but figured there had to be more.
So, you're saying that once that downloads and you run it, there's nothing else to get online? I could run Firefox Setup 6.0.2.exe successfully while not connected to the Internet?

Simple script that will export the coordinates (layer bounds - top left x,y)

Hi,
I'm looking for a simple script that will export the coordinates (layer bounds - top left x,y) of the layers to an seperate xml/txt file.

Your screen capture looks like it's from Photoshop.
In InDesign sub layers are page items, the containing layer has no dimension. So you could get all the page item's x, y, width, height. But you might have to consider groups and then the layering could be very complex. The stacking order could also get complex. Page items have an index, but it's relative to its parent container.

How can I autorun a script that will process an XML file on open?

I am using Frame 11. I have a registered script that looks for event notification Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML. When this event fires, the script is supposed to examine the root element (so I only edit appropriate XML files), then make some edits to the file. Specifically, I want to be able to delete empty pages, remove room for side heads, and fix table formatting (such as left indent, which I can't directly access, apparently, in the EDD or R/W rules). The snippet of code that starts doing the work follows:
Notification(Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML,true);
function Notify(note, object, sparam, iparam) {
    switch (note) {
        case Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML:
            doTheWork();
            break;
function doTheWork() {
    var doc, flow, root, elemName, mPageAttrib, topicElem, topicElemName, allAttribs;
    doc = app.ActiveDoc;
    flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
    root = flow.HighestLevelElement; // will always get something even if unstructured document
    while(root.ObjectValid()) { //only do something for structured docs
        elemName = getElementName(root);
        ...more code to do stuff....
I then check the root element name, and if it matches, I make some changes. This code works fine when run manually. But, when run as a registered script, the app.ActiveDoc object is invalid, and there is no structure to edit. (I added debug line if(!doc.ObjectValid()){alert("not valid");}, which is not included above.) It appears that the Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML event fires as soon as the XML file is opened, but BEFORE Frame actually reads it.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to work around this? Is there another event I could use instead of Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML? Is there any other way to automatically manipulate an XML file when it loads?
Thanks in advance

The Notify event receives four parameters: note, object, sparam, and iparam. For the event you are using, object should be the document object of the FrameMaker document being opened. So, you should be able to use this:
doTheWork(object);
Make sure you update your doTheWork function to receive the Doc object:
function doTheWork(doc) {
    var flow, root, elemName, mPageAttrib, topicElem, topicElemName, allAttribs;
    flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
    root = flow.HighestLevelElement; // will always get something even if unstructured document
    while(root.ObjectValid()) { //only do something for structured docs
        elemName = getElementName(root);
        ...more code to do stuff....

Is there an AppleScript or Automator Script that will wake a Mac from Sleep?

Is there an AppleScript or Automator Script that will wake a Mac from Sleep?

Frank and All,
The following answer to your question above is complicated, but I hope it explains why my question was formed with so much frustration in it.
I have an OpenOffice(OO) Macro that was launched with Calendar at 6pm each business night. It ran properly in all Apples operating systems until I Hit Maverick(OSX10.9). From then on, the AppleScript would run from one to 3 days, then would disappear from the Calendar entry. The Calendar alert would still run, but the "OpenFile" section of the alert would disappear. I also was running elgato EyeTV HD during the day, so I would use energy saver to put my MacBook Pro to sleep at 12 Midnight and wake it again at 9am. I picked up a used Mac Mini to do the EyeTV stuff, provide AppleTV the files in H264 format through iTunes' media share, and found it had plenty of power to do the 6pm automated stuff simultaneously as well. Because I still wanted to run the OpenOffice Macro on my MacBook Pro at 6pm, and wanted to use it for a host of other things when I was on the road, I wanted it to sleep most of the time and only wake up automatically to run the 6pm OO Macro. When I called Apple about the issue I was having with Maverick and Calendar loosing the OpenFile command as part of the Alert Message, they told me the no longer supported answering AppleScript Questions but they now would support Automator questions. I pointed out that the OpenFile would also fail after one to three days if I used a Calendar Alert to launch an Automator App. At first, I did not like Automator, but now I see why Apple is pushing us to use it. Automator adds a TIME STAMP ID to the Apps developed in Automator so the first time you launch the App after a change to it, you must reply to a dialog message saying that this is the first time you are running this version of the App. If a Scammer has replaced your app with one that can reek havoc on your computer, the replacement app will not run unless you are there to agree that you know where the modified app came from and click the OK button to continue (BRILLIANT, Enhanced Security idea on Apples part). I also noticed that after Mountain Lion, the Applescript delay timing was all screwed up as well. Well I tried to use LaunchD Task Scheduler to circumvent the Calendar Problem and that worked until I upgraded to Yosemite Last week. Then LaunchD no longer worked and I am only into a few days of using The Calendar Launched Automator App to see if it will continue to run.
But I think I solved the dilemma I was having with opening an Automator App in a Sleeping Mac. I Googled up the following question, "AppleScript to wake up computer". I went thru several complex responses until I found this on that is INCREDIBLE EASEY! What came back was a brettterpstra.com response from Feb 20th,2014. What it said, in a Quick Tip: caffeinated your Terminal Article, if you wanted to wake a Mac from sleep, use the Terminal command named "Caffeine -u -t 1". I placed it in an Automator Most Used Action called "Run Shell Script -- Caffeine -u -t 1" and it worked! Now, I can put my Mac to Sleep but at 6pm, the Automator App will launch, run the "Caffeine -u- -t 1" command and proceed to work as if I had awakened the Mac From Sleep mode by pressing a keyboard key and had run the Automator Script with a double click.
Sorry for the long, drawn-out reply, but maybe this will help others.

"A script that will delete perfstat snapshots older than 90 days with SPPURGE..."

Hello to all my fine Oracle related friends...We are all one large extended Family...
I want to create a script that will execute SPPURGE on Perfstat for snapshots that are older than 90 days.
Now, I have Grid 12c Cloud Control up and running for all the Databases that we have...
Should I use Grid 12c to execute the SPPURGE and just pass the parameters in like that?
Or should I go "Old School" and make a Shell Script and schedule it in the crontab?
What would you guys do?

When I do a select sysdate -1 from dual; it gives the correct date?
Could there be a "NLS Setting" some where causing this?

HT204053 I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with icloud and Find my Iphone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. What do I do?

I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with iCloud and Find my iPhone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. How do I go about creating this account?

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but if you create a new iCloud account with a different ID your existing ID isn't effected by this. It will continue to work as it does now, you will just have an additional Apple ID. If you have an earthlink email address you can continue to use it as a separate account, and it can continue to be your default account if you set it to be (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account). If I'm misunderstanding your question, please explain further.

IDCS6(MAC) 10.9.4 - a script that will make an anchored object and paste in clipboard contents

I'm trying to create a script that will create an anchored object that will paste in clipboard contents.
So far I have:
var frameRef = app.selection[0];
var parentObj = frameRef.insertionPoints.item(0);
var anchorFrame = parentObj.rectangles.add();
And this works fine, creating an inline object, that can further be defined (with anchor point settings etc).
However, it is when I go to use app.paste() or app.pasteInto() that all hell breaks loose.
The line of code I added was:
anchorFrame.content = app.pasteInto();
and the error I get is:
What am I doing incorrectly?
Colin

@Colin – For the paste command you like to use, you have to:
1. First select an object, in your case the added rectangle object
2. Then use the pasteInto() method from the app object
3. There is no content property for a rectangle object
Watch out what is selected after you added the rectangle.
What you have is a selection of the text frame when you start your code in line one.
Adding a rectangle will not change that selection.
The following code will do the job.
However, if you use pasteInto() the pasted objects could be only partly visible inside the frame.
Depends on the size and position of the added rectangle relative to the original copied page items.
Make sure that you give the rectangle a proper size after or while you are adding it:
var frameRef = app.selection[0];
var parentObj = frameRef.insertionPoints.item(0);
//Will add a rectangle sized 40 x 40 mm
var anchorFrame = parentObj.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[0,0,"40mm","40mm"]});
app.select(null); //Optional
app.select(anchorFrame);
app.pasteInto();

I am trying to create an executable vi that will call out another vi and show its front panel in the executable. When I try this I recieve this error message "top level vi (my main vi) was stopped at unknown on the block diagram of (my sub vi)

Well the most common way is to enclude the vi's in the build spec either directly in the dependancies that the App builder automatically generates OR by declaring them in the build spec as "additional enclusions" (like you must do for dynamic vi calls in your app.
I have heard rummors about My.app Stuff.vi in a nugget Intaris posted- and I've wanted to dig deaper into Intaris' claims- but have not tried it myself.
If you go down the stuff.vi route Keep us curious guys posted
