Simple Spark Dropdown List Question

Hello,
In my interface, I have a drop down list. When the user changes the value, I'm trying to throw up an alert window ( 'are you sure...') because the change has a ripple effect. Everything works fine except when the user makes their selection from the Alert window, the dropdown list stays open. I've tried the 'closeDropDown' method, but that doesn't seem to work. I thought it might be because of the Alert control, but I'm not sure.
Any help or a nudge in the right direction to where I can find an answer would be appreciated.

First, thanks for responding.
I was throwing up the alert window on the 'change' (and also unsuccessfully the 'changing') event of the drop down list. After reading your response, I tried throwing it up on the 'close' event of the dropdown list, which worked.

Simple SSH Access-List Question

I am enabling SSH access for all of our Cisco devices and want to restrict access to just the following ip addresses: 192.168.200.1-192.168.200.50. I forgot the exact access-list configuration to accomplish this. The subnet is /24 and I don't want the whole subnet - just .1 - .50.
Thank you,
Thomas Reiling

Hi there,
If using ssh make sure you have a domain name, host name and a generated rsa key. Assuing you've done that, the the following ACL and line vty command will do the trick. Note that the 1-50 host list is not on a subnet barrier.
To get it exactly
access-list 1 remark ALLOW MANAGEMENT
access-list 1 permit 192.168.200.0 0.0.0.31
access-list 1 permit 192.168.200.32 0.0.0.15
access-list 1 permit 192.168.200.48 0.0.0.1
access-list 1 host 192.168.200.50
access-list 1 deny any log
It would be a good idea to put it on a boundary though, so the following would be much more simpler and easier to read.
access-list 1 remark ALLOW MANAGEMENT
access-list 1 permit 192.168.200.0 0.0.0.63
access-list 1 deny any log
Apply the access-class on the vty lines and depending on authentication, i'd put something there too.
line vty 0 4
access-class 1 in
transport input ssh
password blahblah
That ought to do it.
good luck!

Dropdown List Question

For a website I'm trying to design... It requires the user to make selections using dropdownlists... then it prompts them to go to another page where it displays their choices in labels. My question is how do I write the code to fill the labels with the dropdownlist selections on the following page. I have done this using SESSION() in VB coding, but I am unfamiliar with how I would do it using html. I assume the selection needs to be stored somehow? Please help!

Ok sorry here is the entire code from page 1 (where the user is prompted to select a value out of a dropdownlist, and them click submit):
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<select name="number" id="number">
    <option>one</option>
    <option>two</option>
    <option>three</option>
</select>
<?php
     session_start();
     if(isset($_POST['number']))
         $_SESSION['number'] = $_POST['number'];
?>
</div>
<p align="center">
<a href="Page2.html">
<button>submit</button>
</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Page 2:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<?php
//retrieve session data
echo "Your selection is:" = $_POST['number'];
?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Is it possible to change fonts in dropdown lists for question screens?

I'm using Captivate 7, and creating training modules for a client with it. In these training modules, there are random quiz questions throughout. Some of these contain dropdown lists where the user will have to select choices A-D, etc. For some reason, after publishing, the fonts are all different within the dropdown list (Option A is in Times New Roman, Option B-D in Arial). I can't seem to find any option to edit these - does anyone have any insight on how to set these fonts?

Figured this one out. Using the P1_ROWS item, added a static LOV with the correct values to override the one APEX was providing. The P1_ROWS item goes in the Number of Rows (Item) field in the layout and pagination section of the report.

I am being forced to create 3 security question from your dropdown list and I can choose the questions but can't enter anything in the answer field??

I am being forced to create 3 security question from your dropdown list and I can choose the questions but can't enter anything in the answer field??

The problem is twenty three people leaving or twenty three thousand leaving has zero impact on a carrier with over 100 million customers. And they have the lowest churn rate. So if 10,000 or 20,000 or more churn out it means little to the carrier.
If you have a real lawyer he/she will advise you that you have no case. The device was not lost or stolen by the carrier, you were not eligible for a new device, and like any business who employs large numbers of poorly trained personnel who make low wages what was told to you is not in writing. So a verbal exchange does not hold up.
In fact in Verizon's customer agreement it has such a disclaimer against any verbal exchanges so if you have that agreement in writing, go get them.
The posting on public forums and places like Face Book, Linkin, Google+ or a personal web site can open you up to a lawsuit for Dilution of Trade Name, and other offences. However if you have proof then go for it.
Unfortunately that is how big business works today. A pity

Help with Spark ComboBox with Variable width dropdown list

I have a Flex 4.0 app which uses a lot of Comboboxes. These combo boxes can contain relatively large items in relation to the actual combobox size.
I want the dropdown list width to expand to a size which will fit all the items it has to display - but only when the dropdown list is opened.
I know there was a way of doing this with the mx components however cannot find any information on this for Spark components.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
thanks in advance

Create a skin for your combobox copying the original one and set popUpWidthMatchesAnchorWidth in the PopUpAnchor to false

Web Application Designer Dropdown Hier List Question

Hello all,
I have run into a roadblock for the Dropdown Hier List Web Item. I have the object working but now have a request when reselecting the same object in the Dropdown List, an action to "Open Template Dialog" needs to execute again.
For Example in my Dropdown list I have Profit Center and Plant listed. Based on selecting either value, the action "Open Template Dialog" executes and then proceed to select the lower level nodes and execute the page. But now the new requirement now is while on that same Dropdown selection of either Profit Center or Plant, without using a reset button etc if the user selects Profit Center or Plant again they would like the "Open Template Dialog" to execute again.
I have no trouble if the user selects Profit Center then Plant to do this but if a user selects Profit Center then Profit Center again it does nothing which I believe that is how it is to function. But I wanted to know if anyone knows possible way to do this.
Thanks in advance!

Link db results to Dropdown list and link to email

I need to pull information from a table 'Suppliers' in an (datebase.mdb) and retrieve two items, name and email. This in itself Dreamweaver makes fairly simple. From this information I need to produce a dropdown list, again Dreamweaver makes this simple.By the way we are using the Suppliers table as 'Departments'.
Now the real work begins and this question. Once the user selects a name on this dropdown list, I need to create a feed of the email address associated with the selected name and pass it to an email form field as a BCC. This form (email) is generated by another subroutine, so I will also have to add the necessary coding for the form to include this BCC email address if selected.
I wish to add the new dropdown list just below the subject and as this is an optional field, the first selection should be 'optional' and do nothing if no selection is made by the user.
I believe that the form is generated by the 'shopcustcontact' and results passed to 'shopmailform' for final processing and sending.
I appreaciate your input this this question.

This isn't a Design question. Please repost in the Dreamweaver forum.

Dummy parent item that displays dropdown list in smartphones

Does anyone know how to create a dummy parent that will display the child items in the dropdown list? Or do you have to create an actual page for all parent items? I don't have a smartphone so I can't experiment (is there an online site that provides this service, similar to the no-defunct Device Central?)...

Does anyone know how to create a dummy parent that will display the child items in the dropdown list?
What do you mean by a parent item? Do you want to create a navigation or just a simple dropdown list? If it is a dropdown list, why are you talking about an 'actual page' for it? Please elaborate your question to help us help you. Thank you.

Dropdown List Not Refresh with Static PDF

Hi,
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9 to design my form and view using Acrobat X Pro. In my form, I have a dropdown list that binds to a data connection to populate the list of products available. The SQL query of the data connection is as simple as below,
"SELECT ProductCode, ProductName FROM PUB_Product WHERE ActiveInd = yes"
Everything works perfectly when I save my PDF in dynamic form. However, due to some limitation with dynamic form, I have no choice but to save the PDF in static form. Problem with static form arises when there are changes to PUB_Product table which could be adding/removing product, setting an active product to non-active and etc. In case of any changes, I have to re-open the PDF in LiveCycle and save it in order to have the latest data reflected in the form. Is there anything I can do so that the changes to the product table will straight away reflected in the form without having to re-save it?
Thanks in advance for your advise.
Regards,
Steven

Hi Paul,
Thanks for helping. I'm using Acrobat to view the PDF form. Thus, shouldn't have any problem connecting to the database.
I've captured some screenshots as below and hope it helps you understand my situation better.
This is my Access database
This is my PDF. Added a data connection "Product" using SQL Query "SELECT ProductCode, ProductName FROM PUB_Product WHERE ActiveInd=yes" whereby it will only extract the "active" products.
Binded the product code dropdown list with "Product" data connection to populate the list.
The output of the PDF form. Only the active products are being listed.
Now, if let's say I add a new product to my PUB_Product table, the dynamic form will straight away list the new product but not the static form.
Dynamic form
Static form
In order to see the new product listed in the static form dropdown list, I have to re-open the form in Live Cycle and just simply save it. So my question is, is there anything I can do to skip this "open and save" step?
Thanks.
Regards,
Steven

Can a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question have variable answers?

Hello -- I'm trying to create a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question that allows the user to enter an anser with room for error. For example, if the user enters "0.30", then "0.28" and "0.32" would still be correct. Is there a javascript or something that would allow that? I'm willing to pay for a solution.

Perhaps so, but even with that range, I'd still likely opt for what I said earlier. It would seem simpler than devising an Advanced Action. Just list the following as acceptable answers.
0.28
0.29
0.30
0.31
0.32
And I might even go farther and list these too.
.28
.29
.30
.31
.32
But that's just me.

Calculating dynamic values from dropdown lists

Hi all, here's the noob question of the day
I'm creating an invoice form in LiveCycle Designer and I'm totally stuck at tax calculations:
for each product you're able to choose between two tax percentages from a dropdown list and, at the end of the form, I want to show a total amount of each tax.
product
qty
unit price
vat
net price
red shoes pack
2
20$
4%
40$
black shoes pack
1
25$
4%
25$
white umbrella
1
10$
7%
10$
total net price
75$
+ TAX 4%
2.60$
+ TAX 7%
0.70$
Total
78.30$
How can I set the + TAX 4% and + TAX 7% fields to grab their respective product rows?
Sorry for my bad english.. I hope you get the question!

You woudl have to look at each row inside of a for loop and then determine if that row had 4% or 7% tax. Then you coudl keep a running total of the tax for you calcultions such that when the for loop ended you would have the 4 and 7% totals calculated.
Make sense?

How to get the keys for a field in the dropdown list?

The dropdown list of payment terms on an account is unfortunately very big, containing al lot of different values, in our system and therefore very confusing for the user working with Web UI version 5.2 to pick the right one. The keys (code like e.i Z077 or ZO23) are not stated in the list available for user. Is there any way in the system to flag if the different fields should show boths the keys(codes) and the description of the values in the field as Payment terms, etc.
In the ERP SAP Gui it is possible to activate if you want the keys should be shown in all drop down list.
If this is not possible for all the fields at one time, what can be a solution to have the keys in the drop down lists, any suggestion will be very valuable for us.
Kindly regards
Camilla

HI Joost
No it is not that simple, that is not a solution for us. The fields are maintained i our backend system and replicated to CRM, and these fields descriptions are also printed at Order confirmations and invoices, and we do not want the keys that do not give any meaning to be visible to customers.

Custom list column not showing up in View Order by or Group by dropdown list

Hi All,
I have created a custom list with a custom column called "Description". Some items in the list do not have a description. What I wanted to do is create a view where the items with a description show first, and the items with no description are
at the bottom of the list. I thought I could make a simple view that uses the Order by or Group by on the description column.
The problem I am having is the description column doesn't show up in the dropdown list for either Order by or Group by within the custom view. Can someone please tell me why this happens and if there is anything I can do to rectify this problem.
I hope you can help
Colin

Hi,
I believe the "Description" field type is Multiple Lines of Text. Sorting doesn't allow in this field type. In order to do the sorting, you would require to create additional column like single line of text column (note that it supports only 255
chars and require to truncate the data if more than 255) and update the data using event receiver or workflow. and do the sorting with that column.
