Setting drop down selection from querystring

Hi,
I have a drop down box populated from a database. I want to
make the selected value equal to a value in the querystring of the
page.
Can anyone help to produce this.
Much appreciated.

There's no different with the programming you have, as long
as the query (recordset) is correct. Dreamweaver will the rest.
Do the following
1. Select the dropdown menu
2. In the property inspector click the lightning bolt icon of
the "Select value equal to" textfield
3. Set the value with the recordset binding item
4. click ok
5. hope this help

How do i populate one field based upon a drop down select from another field?

Here is what I am trying to do:
Field 1 is a drop down selection list that requires a user to make a mandatory selection which in this case is a list of apartment complexes. What I am trying to accomplish is once that user makes a selection from the drop down list (Field1) that it will populate Field 2 (standard txt) with the corresponding apartment complexes address.
So I pick Talan Apartments from field 1, it would populate field 2 with Talan Apartments address. I tried messing around with calculation scripts but I'm fighting a loosing battle here. Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Here is a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=Hi0ZwVgVB1PWbxc6OJ0z4A where the script in the exit event of the dropdown sets the value of the address object.
Good luck,

How to disable certain text fields in second tab based on the drop down selection from first tab?

My first tab contains a drop down menu which has two options
1. Personal info
2. Office info
The second tab contains all the information regarding Office and Personal Information. But I need to selectively disable certain fields based on the drop down in first tab.
For example,
The second tab consissts of all fields like
Name,
Age
Job title,
Office Location, etc.
And i dont want office related details to be displayed if I am selecting personal info in the first tab.
It would be really great if someone could send me the code for achieving this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vishnu
Can you check the List component in foundation/components ? I think "Build list using" works he same as your requirement. Check the listener they have used in dialog/items/list/items/ listFrom/listeners
"selectionchanged" : function(box,value){box.findParentByType('tabpanel').manageTabs(value);}
here the ExtJs will find the tabpanel with value you are selecting fromdropdown. The title of each panel should match with the dropdown values
Some queries
Disable values means you have to remove it from your CRX?
"values should become mandatory". for tab2? or tab3? - if tab2 and if it is a customized widget then u have to write it in your js only i think.
Thanks

Select customer name from a drop down Select List or be able to type it in

Hi,
Is there a way to allow my users to have an option to either select a customer name from a drop down Select List or be able to type it in...
Thanks in advance

This is an excellent option for another application but in this one I would prefer a drop down list to allow my users to see all the orders (to pick from the list) or type it in if they can't find it in the list...
I know how to create a drop down select list but not sure what to do to allow users to be able to manually type in as well...
Thanks

Change a drop down list from read only/invisable on a radiobutton value

Hi All i am new to all this and need a few pointers?
I have a form which was made using Livecycle Designer 8.
On this form are a set of radio buttons (yes/no/NA).
Is there a way to change the state of a drop down list from read only or invisible and display a message after 'no' has been selected on a set of radio buttons?
Thanks in advance.

No being in a table shoudl not affect it.....but you will more than likely have to include the path to the object. Without seeing your form it is impossible to tell you what it should be. You can place your cursor in the script editor where you want the reference to the DDList. Then hold down the Ctrl key and move your mouse to point to the field you want to reference. When the cursor hits the canvas it will change to a V. When you get to the field you want click the mouse button and the expression that you need will be placed in the script editor. This is path relative to where the context in which the script will be run. Now you can simply add the "." and whatever method/property that you want to reference.
Hope that helps

Performing Calculation based on drop down selection

I need help with simple calculation. Im building an estimate form, and have the fields:
"Total" (manually entered total amount)
"GrandTotal" (automatically calculates Total*1.07 to add 7% NJ sales tax)
Next I have 3 drop down boxes with payment options, and then text fields to receive $$ amounts based on drop-down selection:
"1st Payment Option" (options: 50% down, 100% paid in full, custom entry)
"2nd Payment Option" (options: 50% at completion, 25% in 14 days, custom entry)
"3rd payment Option" (options: 25% completion, custom entry)
For whichever options are selected in the drop-downs, i'd like the text fields to auto-fill.
(Text fields are titled "1st Payment", "2nd Payment", "Final Payment".
So how do I take the value from "GrandTotal" and get it to automatically be calculated by 50%, 25% or whatever and be filled into separate text fields?

It can be done with proper form design. You can use the any of the 3 calculation options but some may require some extra form fields and you can specify a numeric value to a drop down option that is different from the displayed text.

Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
TextField1.rawValue
After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
DropDownList1.clearItems()
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
DropDownList3.clearItems()
DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.

I am having trouble (sleepless nights) with populating a drop-down list from an Access Database. The result is: I only get the first record from the data connection. So the connection works but I cannot go through the other records. Maybe there is an other way to do this.
I am trying to selectively fill a form with data from an MS-access database.
I hope someone can help me.

If you email the access DB and the form to [email protected], I will try to take a look at it for you.

In Ver 4.0, what happened to the drop down selections for previous windows for the current tab?

In the previous versions of Firefox, in any open tab that had multiple windows open, i. e. from a search where you would go to many different windows, there was a drop down selection to the right of the "back/forward" button that would let you select prior windows ... and always the first one. That is no longer there. It was extremely helpful and I used frequently. Can you add it?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

HT3819 I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar.
If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Drop down selection menu stopped working on Firefox 16

Hi there,
I have a drop down selection menu (<select></select>) on my website that triggers an ajax function to display a specific table using jquery's datatable. Prior to firefox 16, the selection menu worked fine. I clicked on the menu, and the options showed up. However, ever since I upgraded to firefox16, the selection menu doesn't work as expected anymore :S
Here's the thing, first time I clicked on an option, selection menu expanded, and I can click on any option to trigger the table change function. Everything is working fine till that point.
It's when I clicked on the selection menu the second time, the selection menu stopped working. It didn't even expand and show any options. I checked with firebug (No js error). I tried safemode/hardware acceleration option I read from another thread, it doesn't work either.
I checked with the firebug console log and I noticed the click event was being triggered whenever I clicked on it, but my selection menu somehow just won't expand (The options are in the html). I checked with all the other browsers as well, and everything seems to be fine (Even the previous version of FF).
Strangely enough, when I click on any other elements on the website and then go back to clicking that selection menu, the selection menu seems to have reset to my 1st step's state. (It stopped expanding as soon as I chose an option though and I will have to click on another element again.)

Dynamic Drop Down Menu from an Access Database

Hello Everyone,
I am user Adobe Designer 7 to create a fillable PDF, and I would like to get the options for a drop down menu from my MS Access database. Basically I would like to populate the drop down menu with the names in the Access database. There i Have a table called PhoneNumbers and it contains the names of all the people I want to appear in the drop down menu that I just created.
This is what I did:
I created a drop down menu and then I clicked on Object > Binding > under "Default Binding (Open, Save, Submit)" choose "New Data Connection"
then connect to the database using a fileDSN. I opened the table where with the "names" column (PhoneNumbers)
and under the "Query," option, I wrote:
select * from PhoneNumbers
Then it gave me all the fields from the table and I dragged the "Last name" field over the drop down menu. I will need to find a way to get the "First Name" field to join the Last Name field to create one name that looks like this: Hill, Angie
The problem is that even though it shows the name from the Access database, it does not give me a list of all the names when I open the form in Reader 7...
No matter how much I click that drop down arrow, the name does not change...
It's almost as if it gets to the databse and gets the data from the database, but it cannot loop through it...
It's almost as if it's missing the code to loop through it...
Why is this? Any ideas how to fix it so it gives me a list of ALL the names, when I click on the drop down button?
After that, how can I add the first name to it?
The form would look like this:
Angie H. 202 641 2055
Right now it does look like that, but I cannot change to another name when I click the drop down menu. For the code to be working when I change to another name, the phone number also changes to the phone number of that person:
Barry S. 703 555 1258
The name is in a drop down menu, the phone number is in a textbox.
Can you help me with this?

ANGELA, Well, the good new is that you are not far off...What you need is to insert the following code using Java Script under the Initialize function. Just replace the Connection name, The Hidden Value, and the Display Text with your information. This is a function is 8.0 but will work with 7.0 /* This dropdown list object will populate two columns with data from a data connection. sDataConnectionName - name of the data connection to get the data from. Note the data connection will appear in the Data View. sColHiddenValue - this is the hidden value column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating. sColDisplayText - this is the display text column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating. These variables must be assigned for this script to run correctly. Replace <value> with the correct value. */ var sDataConnectionName = "DataConnection"; // example - var sDataConnectionName = "MyDataConnection"; var sColHiddenValue = "CAT_Corp_SeqNo"; // example - var sColHiddenValue = "MyIndexValue"; var sColDisplayText = "CAT_Corporate"; // example - var sColDisplayText = "MyDescription" // Search for sourceSet node which matchs the DataConnection name var nIndex = 0; while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName) { nIndex++; } var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex); oDB.open(); oDB.first(); // Search node with the class name "command" var nDBIndex = 0; while(oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).className != "command") { nDBIndex++; } // Backup the original settings before assigning BOF and EOF to stay var sBOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("bofAction"); var sEOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("eofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayBOF", "bofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayEOF", "eofAction"); // Clear the list this.clearItems(); // Search for the record node with the matching Data Connection name nIndex = 0; while(xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName) { nIndex++; } var oRecord = xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex); // Find the value node var oValueNode = null; var oTextNode = null; for(var nColIndex = 0; nColIndex < oRecord.nodes.length; nColIndex++) { if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColHiddenValue) { oValueNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex); } else if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColDisplayText) { oTextNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex); } } while(!oDB.isEOF()) { this.addItem(oTextNode.value, oValueNode.value); oDB.next(); } // Restore the original settings oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sBOFBackup, "bofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sEOFBackup, "eofAction"); // Close connection oDB.close();

How can I create a rollover drop down menu from a link in Dreamweaver CS5?

Hello all, I am working on a portfolio website and I was just wanting to know if there is any way that I can create a drop down menu from a text link that cascades once the cursor has made contact with the link. I would like to have it in my navigation bar where the Portfolio link is. Basically, my navigation bar looks like this : Home | Resume | Portfolio | Contact. I only want three items on the drop down menu beneath the portfolio link: Traditional Art, Photography, Graphic Design. I would really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

Ichat drop down menu from menu bar shows up in the wrong place.

I'm not sure how this happened, but for some reason, ever since I've moved to college, my Ichat drop down menu from the menu bar shows up on the left side of my screen, and you can only see half of the menu. I don't know how to fix this problem so if anyone could help me out that would be great.
Sincerely,

Yep.
Go to the Buddy List Status Message and option the Edit option.
Delete that Status Message that you have that is over 42 characters.
Ones of about 60 or more will introduce the "Left Shift" (And the fact the drop Down may line up with the right hand edge of the Menu Bar icon on in-between lengths)
In Snow Leopard it is possible to have a Long Message that displaces the Drop Down Off Screen.
The other factor is the order of the Menu Bar Icons on that side of the Screen
The iChat one can be Dragged if you use the Apple (CMD) key.
If the Drop Down can not fit the message in before the right hand edge of the Screen it will displace.
