Seting transparency in a form box

Is this possible? I've got a form on a page with a background
image, and I was wondering whether I could set the transparency of
the text boxes on the forms to, say, 75%? This should keep the
background image viewable while at the same time make sure that the
text box is legible.
Cheers.

I've used background-color: transparent for each of the form
elements,
input, textfield etc., and it works in Firefox, IE6 and
Opera.

Adobe Acrobat 11.0.0-11.0.9 crashing when clicking form box, saving, or closing form

I have a user that is using Adobe Acrobat Pro (originally 11.0.0 until I updated it to 11.0.9) that recently began having issues with editing forms within adobe. She will open them, however periodically Acrobat will crash when she either clicks on a Form Box to highlight it, sometimes after she makes a change to the form and chooses to save the file, or virtually all of the time when she tries to close the form. I have uninstalled Adobe Reader, Acrobat, Flash Player and reinstalled all of the above, along with using the utility to clean uninstall acrobat. After the clean uninstall/reinstall, it would crash constantly whenever anything was done until it was updated, and then everything seemed fine for clicking on Form Boxes in edit mode, making changes, and saving, however it still crashed each time she would click on the "x" within the top right hand corner to close the form. I performed the next update, and it seemed more issues began to happen. I've done a repair a few times, and if anything, this only seemed to worsen the problems.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this?
Kind regards,
Rick E

Yes, the folder exists and I am able to access it.

Completing a form box for one site on another site

Can anyone tell me if this is possible...
There is a site that has a search box on it I would like my
site visitors to have access to. But instead of just linking on the
page and directing them to the specific form box, I would like to
have a box on my site that when they complete, it would submit the
information on the other site and bring the appropriate response on
the other site. In particular, I am talking about the "Who
Represents Me?" box located in the right margin of :
this page

Okay.
What I want to do is to create a page on site 1 advocating
for public transportation. On the page, I would like to create an
area where you can find out who your state congressional
representative is. There will be a text box that you put in your
zip code and hit submit. Somehow, that information is transferred
to the "Who Represents Me?" box on the state legislature site I
referred to previously which we will call site 2. The information
is entered and submitted automatically on site 2, and brings up the
person's congressional representative. So as far as the web visitor
sees, it's the submit page on site 1, and then the next page they
see is the response page of site 2 showing their representative is
Senator So and So. Does that clarify it a little?

Stop RETURN in Form Box

I have a text form box on my stage that I want the contents to be assigned to a variable after you hit RETURN. Everything is working fine, except the return consistently shows up in the text form box as a carriage return. Does anyone have a simple solution? I've tried everything to stop this, yet it still illudes me.
Thanks in advance!

It's just a "text" box that is set to be "editable". Is there something else I should use?
No, but what type of member it is has a bearing on the solution. Try the following for a start:
on keyDown me
if ( _key.keyCode = 36 ) then stopEvent
else pass
end

User adding extra form boxes

Hello,
I'm not sure what the exact parlance is here but can anyone advise me on how about doing the following?
Like on many Airline websites the user can click a button to 'add another passager' or whatever and a new form box/form boxes pop-up underneath. I'm trying to do the same thing (but with adding food to a list) but also wondering the recommended way to do it.
I was thinking a bit of Javascript activated on click, to draw up a new form box in the form with a different ID/name to be posted through to the update page along with everything else. I'm still learning javascript - does anyone know a good tutorial for this? I would search myself but I'm not sure what this would come under.
Thanks
Chris

Found a tutorial that could help you. http://papermashup.com/dynamically-add-form-inputs-and-submit-using-jquery/

Can't See Forms Box in Browsers

When on a website and a form comes up for me to fill in answers I cannot see the forms box I am to type answer/info in to. I just have to keep clicking in the general area till I get it to allow me to type. I have this problem in Safari and Firefox. What do I need to do? Is this a display setting in preferences?

How about ⌘/ - that's command slash -

A way to change stroke width on form boxes?

Although I'm aiming to have people digitally use these forms, there exists a good chance that some will be filled out by hand. When I print these forms out the form field boxes are rather small and surrounded by a thick border.
Is there a way to change the form field box size?
Is there a way to chance the stroke width surrounding these boxes?
Thanks!

I am guessing that the form filled by hand will be done via printing the PDF form. Is this correct?
You can resize the field box in the Design tab in FormsCentral by drag and drop of the bottom right corner of the field editable box (true for multi-line text field). To increase the height of single line text field then you need to use a bigger font by selecting the form element on the form and chaging the font size in toolbar.
You can not change the border color or thickness for the HTML web form but you can do some post-editing of the form in Acrobat if you want to modify the borders in the PDF file.

Transparency issues in form

I began designing a form using InDesign CS, converted it to PDF and want to make the form fillable. When I get the PDF in Designer 7, any image that has a drop-shadow or other form of transparancy turns all black. Has anyone else had this problem and/or does anyone know what steps I need to take to resolve it? Does Designer not handle transparency or is there a trick to make it work? Can I reimport a graphic into Designer that's gone bad?

Hey Chris,
I checked as you suggested and my drivers are up to date for my Video Card. Here are a couple of screen captures illustrating what is happening. The first is a logo PSD I created with a clear background. The second is what happens when I try to paste it to a red background. Do you have anymore ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Transparent Fill for Dropdown Box

I've made a javascript to change the fill color of a drop down box depending on what is selected. Everything is working as expected except that I can't find how to fill it with a transparent/no fill color. I've found very discouraging info about being able to do this online, but the box starts as transparent (imported the document from a preexising pdf that has the box background at no fill) so I'm hoping that it is still possible. Using CS3, any help is greatly appreciated.

Code example below. The "1" value is what the box starts at with a transparant/no fill and what I want to change back to that transparent/no fill when selected.
var vName = this.somExpression;
var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.#choiceList.border.fill.color");
if (this.rawValue == "1") {
     fieldObj.value = "255,255,255";
else if (this.rawValue == "2") {
     fieldObj.value = "255,255,255";
else if (this.rawValue == "3") {
     fieldObj.value = "250,250,0";
else if (this.rawValue == "4") {
     fieldObj.value = "0,145,0";
else if (this.rawValue == "5") {
     fieldObj.value = "205,0,0";
else if (this.rawValue == "6") {
     fieldObj.value = "90,90,90";
else if (this.rawValue == "7") {
     fieldObj.value = "25,25,25";
else {fieldObj.value = "0,0,0";

The Google toolbar makes them yellow. Uninstall it or turn it
off and they
will go back to normal.

How to format form boxes

I am trying to set other boxes as mandatory if a previous box is populated... thank you in advancee

You will need to use JavaScript to change the "required" property of the other field as needed.
You may also need some custom JavaScript to test if the required form fields are completed before submitting or printing. You may also want to add come controls that inform the user if there are any required fields not completed.

Form boxes... how to adjust?

I am creating a form. But for some reason, when I create a text box on the pdf, it seems to snap to some invisible guides... I can't just make the box any size and place it anywhere I want it to go. I HAVE done just that in the past, so something must have changed. Is there a preference... sort of a "snap to grid" type thing that I can change? Thanks!
Julie

Just go to View > Snap to Grid. Then either check it or uncheck it depending on what you're looking for.

Transporting form BOX to another BOX to production BOX changes not effect

Hi Expert's,
Good Day!

The issue is regarding transaction SE51 (screen painter). I was changing the Define Length from 45 to 55 upon activating their will be a pop-up information message will appear "Selection screen: Report generation makes screen changes ineffective". After the activation the Define Length in transaction se51 will now be 55.
However, upon transporting to another Box/system the Define Length will be 45 instead of 55. Can you help me how to solve this problem? What to do to avoid the changes in the Define Length so that it would still be 55 instead of 45?
Answer's will be a great help.
Thank you,
~Junne Ray

Accurate Sizing of Links and Form Boxes

I just upgraded to CS3 and I am having problems with Adobe Acrobat. Every time I try to create a link box or a button on a form, I am not able to draw it with accuracy. Nor can I move the box with accuracy. When I try to resize or move the object it will not change by the small degree I am asking it to change to. Instead it over compensates for what I am asking it to do. Could someone please help me with this? I seem to remember from an older version that there is a setting somewhere that will correct this issue.
Thank you,
Jennifer

is snap to grid under the view menu enabled?

Semi-transparent screen with a box that told me to restart my computer

Tonight while working in Safari on the bodybugg website this semi-transparent line came down my computer like a curtain coming down at the movie theater. Then a gray box popped up telling me in several languages (english was at the top so I am guessing the other languages said the same thing) I needed to hold the power button down and restart my computer. Everything was locked up, keyboard, mousepad, etc, so I was left with no choice but to restart. Since restarting I have not encountered any problems. My software was up to date as of this past Saturday and I was not installing any items. Has anyone else encountered this as I can't find anything in the discussions. The box did not have any apple or mac logos on it.

This is a kernel panic. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics.
You can use the Console application in your Utilities folder to locate the panic log. Post the log here and we may be able to help.
