Selection Box Issues

Hi folks, this is probably a dumb question but I've looked everywhere online without an answer:
How can I draw a selection box over 1 or more objects without selecting objects that touch the selection box? - I.e. as an example: in Autocad when you draw a selection box from left to right it only selects what's inside the box, and when you draw it from right to left it selects everything that crosses in and through the selection box... In illustrator I'd like to be able to select only what's inside the box and not what crosses it?
Apologies if i've confused the issue, I'm a little tired! :-)

It's not a dumb question, Illustrator just doesn't work that way. You may want to request the feature here.
"Normal, direct or group" selection tools along with "Shift-clicking" to toggle selections, is the standard approach.
Also, the Selection Marque tool may help you.
Finally, effective use of groups, layers and symbols, can greatly simplify selection challenges.

Product Variation Select Box Issue

HI all! I'm having an issue with the production variations that I have out of stock and they're still showing in the select dropdown menu. I have tried to get support on this but they're telling me that it's something to do with my template. I haven't been able to find any issue with my template though. Upon inspection of the code, I can see that the select box is being set to "display: none" When I disable this, a second select box appears next to the first select box with the correct inventory available selections. Can anyone help me figure out this issue? Thanks in advance!
{tag_attributes} has been changed to {tag_attributes, vertical, true, false} and all out of stock variations have been disabled.
UPDATE: On CSS style: select, .selectBox - line 504 "style.css" I forced display: inline-block and now you can see the two select boxes upon page load.
UPDATE: For the incorrect select box that showed all the product variations despite their disabled status - i was able to force it to display: none !important --- and it solved this issue. I would still like to know why this was happening if anyone has ideas.
Thanks!

Hi mattkrae34,
What version of SpryMenubar.js are you using? You can find
the version on the first line of the file.
Also, do you have a sample URL we can take a look at?

Multi-Select Box Not Displaying Values Passed From Grid?

Coldfusion 8
I inherited an application and am trying to maintain and improve it... hit a snag today.
I have a multi-select box that is not displaying what I expect. The values come from a ColdFusion grid which is based off a database query.
Here is the code for the select - does not work - nothing is selected:
<cfselect name="USER_IDS" multiple="true" queryposition="below" selected="USER_IDS" query="ActiveUsersPlus" disabled="#disabled#" value="G_USER_WORK_UNIT_SK" display="G_USER_ID" >
</cfselect>
Now if I change the multiselect to a single select like below - it takes the first item in the field list (from the grid) and selects it in the drop down.
<cfselect name="USER_IDS" multiple="false" queryposition="below" selected="USER_IDS" query="ActiveUsersPlus" disabled="#disabled#" value="G_USER_WORK_UNIT_SK" display="G_USER_ID" >
</cfselect>
Or if I assign a variable like this and use the multi-select code it seems to work as well.
testlist = "22,26";
<cfselect name="USER_IDS" multiple="true" queryposition="below" selected="#testlist#" query="ActiveUsersPlus" disabled="#disabled#" value="G_USER_WORK_UNIT_SK" display="G_USER_ID" >
</cfselect>
I have displayed the value of "User_IDs" in the grid and in the data entry part of the screen to see values of: 22,26
to make sure that wasn't my issue.
Do grids and multiselects require something additional? Any advice on how to resolve?

Problem was related to some javascript for the select box. There was a function for a single select box but not a multiple select box - this fixed it:
if(theForm.elements[i].type == "select-multiple"){
                    var selectBox = theForm.elements[i];
                    var sbname = selectBox.name;
                    cpvalue = String(eval('record.data.' + sbname));
                    var NotifyArray = cpvalue.split(',');
                    for (var j=0; j < selectBox.length; j++) {
                        selectBox[j].selected = false;
                    for (var j=0; j < selectBox.length; j++) {
                        sbvalue = selectBox[j].value;
                        for (var k=0; k < NotifyArray.length; k++){
                            if (sbvalue == NotifyArray[k]){
                                selectBox[j].selected = true;

Selection boxes in Barracuda Anti Spam and Virus Firewall do not appear in 7.0. They appeared in previous versions, and in IE.

FIXED!
I reverted back to 3.6.23 and all works fine. From everything I can tell; number of problems submitted, breadth of issues, no access to versions 4, 5, 6 (rapid version turnover with no support), and now beta being released for 8, it seems FF is having the user base do all it's alpha/beta testing without consent. Being in product marketing myself, I probably would have lost a significant percentage of my customer base by now. When FF begins to support a new mainstream release, then I'll be interested again.

3 cfgrids on one page. Columns from grid 1,2 and 3 are swapping the first select box from each grid.

ColdFusion 11, hot fix 3 installed but did not help. There are no binds.
This one has been driving me crazy and I have finally figured out that it is the first column in each grid where there is a select box via "valuesdisplay" that is the issue. Select box results are switching grids!
Example of how it is coded to display:
Grid 1 - gridcolumn should have a dropdown with 1,2,3
Grid 2 - gridcolumn should have a dropdown with a,b,c
Grid 3 - gridcolumn should have a dropdown with x,y,z
However, the results in the dropdowns in the grids are:
Grid 1 - x,y,z (should be 1,2,3)
Grid 2 - 1,2,3 (should be a,b,c)
Grid 3 - a,b,c (should be x,y,z)
This only happens with the first dropdown for each grid. Any other columns with dropdowns do not have any issues and do not swap out to the wrong grid.
Sample of my code from the grids:
Grid 1:
<cfgrid name = "evalgrid"
height="200"
autowidth="no"
font="arial" fontsize="12"
query = "getevalfinal"
SORT="Yes"
selectmode="edit"
format="html"
insert="yes"
delete = "#deletevalue#">
<CFGRIDCOLUMN NAME="numberofschools" HEADER="numberofschools"
HEADERALIGN="LEFT" DATAALIGN="LEFT"
BOLD="Yes" ITALIC="No"
SELECT="Yes" DISPLAY="Yes"
HEADERBOLD="Yes" HEADERITALIC="No"
VALUES = " ,NA,1,2,D"
VALUESdisplay = "Blank,NA,1,2,D" valuesDelimiter=","
width=50>
</cfgrid>
Second Grid:'
<cfgrid name = "SecondGrid"
height="100" width="700"
font="arial" fontsize="12"
query = "getsecurity"
SORT="Yes"
selectmode="edit"
format="html"
insert="yes"
delete = "#deletevalue#"
autowidth="yes"
>
<CFGRIDCOLUMN NAME="userrole" HEADER="userrole"
HEADERALIGN="LEFT" DATAALIGN="LEFT"
BOLD="Yes" ITALIC="No"
SELECT="Yes" DISPLAY="Yes"
HEADERBOLD="YES" HEADERITALIC="No"
VALUES = "#olduserrole#"
VALUESdisplay = "#olduserrole#" valuesDelimiter=","
WIDTH=300
font="arial" fontsize="12">
</cfgrid>
In the above code, userrole values end up being in the wrong grid where numberofschools values should be and vice versa.
Appreciate any help!

Double clicking brings up selection box rather than highlighting words

This is a bit of a trivial problem but it's making my editing quite difficult. I'm using Acrobat X 10, with Windows 7.
Normally when I double click on some text, the word that I am double clicking on will become highlighted. This continues to be the case except for in one specific pdf document: now double clicking opens a selection box rather than highlighting text. If I single click I can highlight whatever text I want, but double clicking no longer highlight a particular word. This is very incumbersome for my annotating/highlighting technique. It only happens with this one pdf, any other pdf and the selection tool is back to normal.
Any idea why this is happening for this one particular pdf, but none of the others, or any way that I can make it highlight words via double clicking again?
Edit: On further inspection, the problem seems to be that for this particular document, acrobat reader cannot detect specifc words, only individual characters. When I highlight a sentence, normally the text highlighted would naturally jump to the end of the word, but here it will only start/stop where I begin and end dragging the cursor. I have used the Recognise Text tool, but this did not fix the problem as it said it had already recognised the text throughout the document.

Can you use the "Prompt" section of the Property Palette instead and leave Label as null. Prompts can be aligned to the left, but, without trying it in Forms 4.5, am unsure about your highlight issue.

Disabling Select Boxes

Hi,
IE (ver 7 or less) has a bug wherein it makes the SELECT box present in the page to be the topmost layer. I have a requirement wherein i need to display a div region over the iframe present in the body of the HTML page (the div becomes the top-most layer now - disabling the other elements present in the background). I am unable to disable the SELECT box present in the iframe, though i am able to disable the other SELECT boxes which are present outside the iframe.
Has anybody faced a similar issue - if so can you suggest a probable solution for the same ASAP.
Regards,
Venky

Hello,
The solution the dropdown menus in APEX use is to display an empty iframe underneath the menu but over the select item to block out the select item.
Take a look at this link they have 2 different ways of fixing this. http://www.codetoad.com/forum/20_22736.asp
Do a quick google search there are some more solutions to this problem.

How To Hide Time Selection Box from Advance Date Filter in Powerview

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to hide Time Selection box appearing in Advance Filter mode for Dates in PowerView??
Thanks and Regards,
Mukesh Singh

Hi Mukesh,
We can click the Advanced Filter Mode icon on the first to the right of the field name in the Filters area to switch between basic and advanced filters modes. At this time, we can select date and time in the selection box. But there is no such feature for
us to hide the time selection box in current release of Power View.
As per my understanding, we can select a time that has no impact on the data in the time selection box to work around this issue.
Thank you for your understanding.

Huge select box fails..

I have a massive amount of items in a select box, and that produces an error because the string is too long I guess.
What kind of other posibilities is there??
I have an order page, where I have to add some order lines. In each line I have a selectbox where I can choose which item has to be in the orderline. But now I have so many items that the error occurs. I cant really find another way to easily add items to the orderline.
Thanks
Bjarke

Hi Sir. I'm kind of a beginner with APEX and I tried implementing the work-around with the solution you provided but I'm getting stuck. Is there anyway you can help? I would really appreciate it, and I promise not to pester you with any more questions!
1 -REGION SOURCE FOR TABULAR FORM:

pSelect.options.add(l_Opt);
l_Opt.innerText = pContent;
else
l_Opt.appendChild(document.createTextNode(pContent));
pSelect.appendChild(l_Opt);
</script>
REGION FOOTER:
<script type="text/javascript">
function setLists(f)
var fItems = document.getElementsByName(f);
var x;
var v;
var o;

v = o.value;
o.options.length = 0;
for (d = 0; d < depts.length; d++)

o.value = v;
if (o.selectedIndex == -1)
o.selectedIndex = 0;
setLists("f03");
</script>
I think the problem is that the SELECT LIST that I'm attempting to populate comes from a different table (MASTERTABLE) than the region source for the tabular form (HOTEL). If that is an issue, can you provide me with the solution? I would greatly appreciate it if you can help...

'BOXI3.1 SP3' select box limitations

Hi All,
This is regarding character limitation in Universe Designer BOXI 3.1 SP3 for an object in the select box.
Environment:
     BOXI3.1 SP3
Issue:
     We are hardcoding the list of values in @prompt function. If I check the number of characters in the select box, we are using around 2,58,552 characters. While in Business Objects, the number of characters accepted in the select box of the object are around 28000 (without space).
Require help on:
     . Are there any limitations with the number of characters that can be used in the select box of the object in Universe Designer?
     . Is there any way we could modify the limitation?
Thank you in advance!
PS:
     We cannot hardcode the list of values at the database level. In this case we will have to include the table at the universe level and incase this is combined with any other query it will result into cartesian product as there is no link with the values with any other object.

Hi Dave,
You got that right.
I am trying to use a table specifically for generating list of values.
This will work fine, but...
I have created a object '<test>' and trying to use the following syntax in it:
Case
when @Prompt('1.Enter value','A','<Class\object name>',mono,free) ='List of value'
THEN
Case WHEN @Prompt('2.Level','N',{'1','2','3','4'},mono,free)='1' THEN @Select(Class2\object2)
          WHEN @Prompt('2.Level','N',{'1','2','3','4'},mono,free)='2' THEN @Select(Class2\object3)
          WHEN @Prompt('2.Level','N',{'1','2','3','4'},mono,free)='3' THEN @Select(Class2\object4)
          WHEN @Prompt('2.Level','N',{'1','2','3','4'},mono,free)='4' THEN @Select(Class2\object5)
END )
when @Prompt('1.Enter value','A','<Class\object name>',mono,free) ='List of value2'
THEN
Case WHEN @Prompt('2.Enter value2','N',{'1','2','3','4'},mono,free)='1' THEN @Select(Class3\object2)
          WHEN @Prompt('2.Level','N',{'1','2','3','4'},mono,free)='2' THEN @Select(Class3\object3)
          WHEN @Prompt('2.Level','N',{'1','2','3','4'},mono,free)='3' THEN @Select(Class3\object4)
          WHEN @Prompt('2.Level','N',{'1','2','3','4'},mono,free)='4' THEN @Select(Class3\object5)
END)
END
This continues for another 50 times for other 50 list of values which select other 50 classes.
Now, in this creates it creates a cartesian product when we try to display the list of value for this object '<test>'.
This list of values table cannot be linked to any other table.
Hope this clarifies...

How to do it?? in SELECT BOX

Hey,
Where are u defining the get/set methods method ??. The code u gave is not very clear. Acording to what u gave below it will surely print only one record probably the last one.

The html select box option is not getting displayed properly in IE11

The html select box option is not getting displayed properly in IE11
I have developed a website that has a select box drop down. The select box drop down is getting displayed properly in IE9. But in IE11, if I am selecting any option apart from the first one, the whole select box option is getting moved up in the page.
In IE11, if option 2 is selected, then the select options is getting moved up. But in IE9, if option 2 is selected, then the select options is getting displayed properly.
Please let me know the fix so that the select options are displayed in the same manner as in IE9.
Sorry but I am unable to upload images as this site is throwing some error

Hi Kevin Shen,
Thanks for post.
I tried above code in ie 11(version 11.0.9600.17633).
But it is not working. If you select option 2, and open select box then it open on the select box.
It should open below the select box.
Code for above:-
<select>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
</select>
Sorry I could not attach screen shot. We have normal select box with three options. If we select option 2, it is showing option list on the select box. It is coming below the select box in ie 10 and other browse like chrome.
So what we should do, so that all options will come below the select box?
Thanks,
Yogesh Toke

Building a select box multiple times on one page.

Hello,
I have a ResultSet rsAgencies that contains all of the information needed to create the options for the agencies select box. It works something like this:
<select name="selAgencyId" id="selAgencyId" class="Standard">
     <option value="-1" selected>Select One</option>
     <% while (rsAgencies.next()){ %>
          <option value="<%= rsAgencies.getInt("id") %>"><%= rsAgencies.getString("name") %></option>
     <%}%>
</select>Pretty straight forward. But I need to print these same options out in several different select boxes on the same page and can't figure out how to encapulate this functionality in order to do it.
In ASP, I would have simply had a function declared on this page that I would pass the ResultSet to. It would loop through the rs and build the options.
But JSP won't let me declare a function (or maybe I just don't have the syntax right).
I have also tried putting it in a bean and calling that function from the JSP, but it kindof skips over it for some reason.
If anyone has done this and can give me a nudge toward the best practice, I would be forever grateful.
Thanks
James.

Limey,
Thanks. I did not know that about the declaration tags.
Yes, I decided to build a function that accepts a resultset and returns a vector. It allows me to minimize trips to the database as well as loop through multiple times.
I ended up putting that function in a bean that will hold all of my common functions for the application. I assume that is a pretty fairly standard way of sharing functionality from page to page.
Thanks again.
James.

How can I see the numbers of lines selected in a Multiple Selection Box?

Hi everybody,
what I want to do is to get in an array of numbers all the lines selected.
For instance, if I select the rows 1,4 and 7 from a Multiple Selection Box
of 10 rows in total, how can I see that array when the rows 1,4 and 7 are
selected?
Because I want to connect this numbers to Case Structure and if the only
rows selected are 1,4 and 7, the Case Structure will only realize this cases,
and the rest will be ignored.
I'm sure there is some way to get what I want.
Thank you for your helpful.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!

Change the default option for a select box

Hi,
I have a select box, with the options built from a Spry Dataset
<select name="AvatarSelect" id="AvatarSelect" spry:region="myAvatars">
<option spry:repeat="myAvatars">{A_NAME}</option>
</select>
I wish to change the default selected option (which is usually the first row returned from the dataset) based on a value for A_NAME that I know from another spry dataset.
Tried using Spry.$$('#AvatarSelect') to get to the the array of select options but to no avail.
How can I cycle through the options and then set the selected on, based on a match for A_NAME?
Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil
I think this is the way
<select name="AvatarSelect" id="AvatarSelect" spry:region="myAvatarsLookup myAvatarsValue">
<option spry:repeat="myAvatarsLookup" spry:test="'{myAvatarsValue::A_NAME}'=='{myAvatarsLookup::id}'" value="{myAvatarsLookup::id}" selected="selected">{A_NAME}</option>
<option spry:repeat="myAvatarsLookup" spry:test="'{myAvatarsValue::A_NAME}'!='{myAvatarsLookup::id}'" value="{myAvatarsLookup::id}">{A_NAME}</option>
</select>
Cheers
