Tab in Text Area

Hi,
When I hit the TAB on a text area, the focus goes to the next tab space.
How do I make the focus to move to the next component when I hit TAB on a text area.
Please advice.

Well, I never tried. But doesn't sound to be a big thing. A keyListener to your TextArea snatches any TAB and then transfers focus with myNextComponent.requestFocus().

My Firefox menus and tabs and text are all warped and slightly out of focus for lack of a better term. What kind of issue is this. I only have the default theme/persona Strata installed. It's quite annoying.

My tabs and text seem slightly corrupted. There's an apparent curviture to the corners and the tops bow. The text is affected but the font's don't appear to have been edited to different fonts. It looks like some photoshop corruption effect to be honest, but this just happens to firefox everytime I use it now. It comes up normal for a second then 'fades' into this corrupt looking version.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.<br />
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Carriage Returns, Line Feeds, and Tabs in Text Area

I am having users copy and paste data from an Excel spreadsheet into a textarea on a BSP page. When they submit this, since there are tabs and line feeds in the data, the BSP does not recognize the data. The value in the field comes through as blank. When I manually type something into this field, with out any carriage returns, tabs, etc., the value does not come through as blank? Does anybody know how to get around this?

HI
Iam uploading the data from application server(AL11) to other server.
In the GLPCA-SGTXT(Table) iam having some text like 'This is good ##'.i was downloded some other data with this text('This is good ##') by using report program in to aplicationserver(AL11) and from there iam uploading that data into other server.
But here the problem is in the UNIX, it was showing some problem.
That is actually it need to show the format like:
001 256 786 This is good## 459786
But here it was showing like:
001 256 786 This is good^M
459786
So here '459786' is coming to next line. But i need this '459786' also in the same line.
I am not sure if it is possible to remove CR and LF's using the code the program is written in, but that is what we need to do. In Unix ^M is the CR (Carriage return), but I am not sure what LF is?

Tab formatted Text area

I am trying to create a form that has a 'custom notes' area
in a textarea.
The problem is the users have to copy and paste from MS Word
and the data is usually table or tab formatted. Is there any way to
provide this functionality in a form using coldfusion MX7?
I would just give them controlled form data, but this data is
usually customized and therefore needs to be tweaked and stored in
a sql server db. Is there anyway to control formatting (without
resorting to something too tech for them like html)?

You'll probably need to use some JavaScript for this.

Tab and next line characters in text area

Hi,
I have an issue with the textarea. The page is inserting /t and /n in the text I type in and everytime I save.
I defined a text area like following in my jsp:
               <textarea class="textarea_value" name="explanation" rows="5" cols="100">
               <bean:write name="tiptrackerEditForm" property="explanation"/>
               </textarea>
css:
     .textarea_value {
          font-weight: normal;
          font-size: 12px;
     text-align: left;
     wrap: soft;
When I type in a word in textarea, it saves without any /t or /n. But when retreive the data and load it into the form again, the page shows with an inserted tab (the word is moved to the right after inserting a tab). Everytime I save, it inserts a tab and /n characters. I know for the fact that the database or the form is doing this. It's in the jsp.

Put the whole <textarea> element in a single HTML line without newlines and spaces.
Thus, so:<textarea class="textarea_value" name="explanation" rows="5" cols="100"><bean:write name="tiptrackerEditForm" property="explanation"/></textarea>

thanx for the re Dalerich1, but no, unfortunately i have a
banking CRM-app which i have to simulate, and within that
simulation swf there has to be that functionality.
plus, since the app is still in development, it may change
within the next couple of weeks, so i'd have to be able to record
the functionality again with captivate (customer requirement) &
then efficiently & quickly make it work like in the real thing.
otherwise (if thmy customer wouldn't insist in using
captivate) i might have dropped captivate in favor of flash a long
time ago...
any other directions anybody? i can't believe this simple
task is costing me so much time and effort.
thanx

More than one text area on a slide master... how?

Is it possible to define more than one text area on a master slide? If so how?
I want to have a layout with two columns of text - a fairly common layout in presentation packs - but can't persuade Keynote to accept this as a layout for a template. I realise that there can only be one 'body' area, but any attempt to produce a 'fake' second body area fails - whether I put in a text box or a shape with text in.
If I put it in as a text box, I can't put a limit on how big the box is.
If I put it in as a shape with text in, when I try to enable the shape as a text placeholder, it forces the whole text in box to have same format as 'top level' outline.
Any ideas?

If you want two columns of text, why not set up the Body textbox with two columns? Select the Body textbox on the slide master, then in the Text Inspector, in the Columns tab, set however many columns you want.

How do I retrieve all data from a table and display it on a text area?

I want to retrieve all the data from one of my MS Access data table and display them all in a text area. how do i go among doing this?
In my car table i have the fields lined up like this..
license,color,doors and year_made
I have an Object class called CAR that will contain methods to set the data from these fields when it gets retrieved.
here's what i go so far.....
statement = getDBConnection().createStatement();
     rs = statement.executeQuery("select * from car");
     boolean moreRS = rs.next();
if(moreRS)
car.setLicense(rs.getLong(1));
     car.setColor(rs.getString(2));
     car.setDoors(rs.getString(3));
car.setYearMade(rs.getString(4));
//but this will only get me one car. How do I get more car data?
HELP!!

Vector cars = new Vector();
while (rs.next()) {
String license = rs.getLong(1);
String color = rs.getLong(2);
String doors = rs.getLong(3);
String year = rs.getLong(4);

Text Area steals Focus from Text Field when selected with mouse

I have created a very simple form with 4 spry validation elements here :: http://octopusdesign.net/contactus.html
When I attempt to select the 'Your Email' text field using the mouse, focus is grabbed by the text area above it.
It is only possible to get focus on the 'Your Email' text field by using tab.
My best guess is that this is a bug in the framework.
In addition to updating my spry libraries to 1.6 from 1.4 I've tried the following things::
Reordering the elements in the form.
Creating the elements in a different order.
Replacing the validation elements with ordinary elements.
None of these fixed the problem.
Strangely, if I remove the validation text area there is no problem.
If anyone can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it.
Wisdom gratefully received.
Chris

Furthermore ::
I've tried to reconstruct the form from scratch and discovered that if you have a validation text field and a validation text area in any order on the form, selecting the 2nd element with the mouse always results in the first element stealing the focus.

Text Area for long text not appearing properly for BBP_POC_DISPLAY Service

Hi,
In our development we have added additional Icon at ITS in Process PO transaction and onclicking that icon Web dynpro AB screen called with the Purchase Order No of selected row .(SRM 5.0)
There is one more icon in Web dynpro screen on click of that Purchase order service open in ITS with display mode .This is achieved with service BBP_POC_DISPLAY from Web Dynpro-AB.
This is also working ok only the issue is in Document tab of PO The Text Area for long text appear at Top .This functionality is working fine with BBP_POC service from ITS .
Has anybody faced this kind of issue ?
Thanks,
SMS

Hi SMS,
I am unsure of the additional component you are talking about. In general, issues with text area misplacing, is solved by note 1067625. May be you can check it.
thanks,

SetText() works for one text area but not for another

I am student new to java so forgive me if I'm making an obvious mistake. I have a GUI with 3 tabs. Two tabs have a text area in each in them and an action listener tells the textarea what to print. The problem is one text area works and the other doesn't. they are declared in the same way so I can't see why the problem occurs.

If you have copied and pasted code for the second one, it is possible that you are setting text for the first text area at both the places. Check if you are calling the setText method on both the text areas and not the same one twice.

In secondary window texts are not appeaerd in smartform

hi to all
bfore main window,i create one window for header data.

giv me reply asap.
reagrds,
satya
points ll b rewarded.

Hi,
Sorry if I've not understood your question, but all this 'wht', 'nt', 'plz' stuff is a bit difficult to follow.
Anyway, you've got a window, in this you've defined a template, then some text elements with variables? Have you assigned the text elements to cells of the templates by putting values in the output tab? If not the text will not appear.
Regards,
Nick

Deselecting text in a text area as well as a input label?

Hi there,
Scenario - I have some text selected in a text area
component. I get a callback from another program (external
interface included) to remove the selection. How do i deselect the
selected text and retain the text without selection? I have read on
the .selected, .editable, .setSelected etc, but Im not getting it.
This same prob exists with a normal text input type, it doesnt
deselect there too.
Can you please help me out? Is there something Im missing
from the help doc?
In short - How do we deselect text programatically in AS
2.0?

Hi Ned,
The null param didnot work as expected, the selection goes
and then again returns when I leave the mouse button. I tried
adding a invisible botton obj outside the stage and then I gave
it's instance to the param, this worked. Now this is hidden so I
cannot see the tab effect on the stage since the button is outside.
Thanks a lot for the answer Ned.

Ideas for huge text area

Our Document Control person catalogs documents in a form I've created. We are a spice manufacturer (ahhhh, but alas, I can't smell them anymore while here! ) In one text area on the form she lists associated items, for example PL-1234 is a pallet layout for all of our jars, so that text area for document PL-1234 might have eighty item numbers, each five or six chars listed in the field. In addition, there are verification sheets, assembly instructions, work instructions, all catalogued, and all with that associated items field holding many many many item numbers. Production workers on the floor then will enter the item number that they are making for the day and a list of all the documents they need for producing the item will display in an interactive report, where they will then call up those they need (touch screens to boot!!).
I've never liked this solution but she wanted to be able to copy and paste into the list from another source [WARNING WARNING DATA CONSISTENCY NIGHTMARE!! - spaces, dashes, commas, yeah yeah, I know]. Recently, when we did a version upgrade, I realized I had truncated the field when I exported to Excel and the text area got chopped (thankfully less than ten and easily fixable), not at exactly 1024 chars, but something in that random neighborhood. Before you fall off your chair laughing or roll your eyes at my naiveté-learn-as-I-go education, I'm looking for another way to handle this clump of data.
I have collections on the form, which was how I wanted to handle this a few years ago when I created it, then she'd have to enter those items manually, and the potential of inaccuracies is huge. So I'm thinking I should just continue to let her enter those items in the same manner, then reformat it and plunk it into a table that joins to the document table.
I apologize for not having the jargon. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you see fit.

Application Express 4.2.2.00.11
Edit 1
Not only the above, but in the interactive report, as far as I've always known, that associated items field must be visible on the interactive report with allllllllllllll those items listed for it to be searched by the production floor. Please advise.
Edit 2
Just an example of the bald spots on my head: 430922 42181 <- 42182 <- 42183 <- 42184 <- 42186 <- 42188 <- 42190 <- 42192 <- 42194 <-

4000 characters is the limit you should be seeing, not 1024 (unless that is the size of the column in your table)
There is a DB Parameter for 12c that should jump that up to 32k
If it really is a 4000 character limit, there is a plugin that can help out: - Dynamic Action Plugin - Enkitec CLOB Load
I can't advise you on the 1st edit. not enough info (a 'sample' on apex.oracle.com would be nice)
For processing, you'll need to read a lot of fantastically written manuals:
use (??does apex have something)/UTL_URL to change HTML code like "<" into "<"
you may need to use DBMS_LOB and LOOP over the CLOB in 4000 byte chunks.
use REGEXP_REPLACE to add hair back to your head (ie convert commas and spaces to single tab, remove nonsense characters, etc.)
use APEX_UTIL.string_to_table() to convert the entries in a table-like format.
make sure that the above is reusable as you'll want to use it once for Validation and once for Processing
use FORALL to professionally bulk-insert the results into a child table
use LISTAGG in your SELECT statements to convert the Relational version of the data back into something that looks like what was entered.
use CREATE PACKAGE so you don't go insane in the future. This is a lot of code to write.
use SQL Developer to actually develop the PL/SQL code
use a code repository like SVN so you can 'rollback' your new-and-imporved-but-buggy versions.
and, most importantly, use sufficient comments and APEX_DEBUG.MESSAGE() in your code so that future developers can pickup where you stopped.

Can a script manually insert a delete (or backspace) into a text area?

I'm new to action script, so this may have a simple answer, sorry if that's the case.
I have a little movie created with a simple purpose of trying to mimic a system like cell phones have for character input.
There are two text areas, one hidden off the screen that accepts the input from the user; a second text area in on screen and displays what the user had entered after some basic processing on the input.
The hidden text area is pretty basic with listener that is responsible for grabbing the input keys and then mangling them to be inserted into the displayed text area based on the cell phone text entry multi-tap rules. Example user press 2-2-2 and the hidden input accepts 222 and then appends 'C' to the display text area. That's working great, but I have a problem if the user wants to delete from the display text area. I can't find a way to insert a delete or backspace key into the display text area. I've tried using StringFromCharCode (8) // Key.BACKSPACE, but that doesn't work. That just displays one of those undefined glyphs. I figure that things like clear, and delete are handled somewhere higher in the input chain and that's where I'm having a problem.
I've looked, but I can't find a way to delete a single character from the text area. I was thinking if I could find the cursor location that I could just use some delete character method to get the job done, but I couldn't find how to do that.
Any ideas on how to pull off manual delete function in a text area?

Ned, I do really want to manually (by method of code) trigger a delete in a text area. The delete (or backspace) that I want added to the text area isn't directly entered by the user, it's the result of several key presses by the user. That's why I called it "manual" because it's done by the code, not by the user's direct input.
Think about how text entry works on most phones... if you want to enter a letter you have to cycle through all the letters on a single key until you get to the character desired. As I stated before, if you want a 'c' you need to press 2 button 3 times. This is basically what I'm trying to do, but I want to add the ability to delete a character too if the correct sequence in entered, for example a sequence of ### would equal a backspace.
Rothrock, I think you were thinking the same thing that a single key is used to do a backspace.
I was thinking that I could possibly insert key event into the event queue for the text area to process, but I wasn't sure about that.
Sorry, if this is confusing, I know it's not a straight forward design. I need onscreen and offscreen text areas with the onscreen one acting as a slave of the offscreen one.
The way the code currently works is hidden text area had a listner that responds to changes, and that handler processes the key entered and deletes that character from the hidden text area. After the full sequence of characters (say 2 button has been pressed 3 times) the handler then sends the resulting character into the display text area. This part of the code works great. I can add any character including some specials like tab and newline. However if I want the text area to delete a character I don't have a way to do that. That's why I tried to insert the backspace key (0x08 or ^H, for other oldschoolers), but using that as a char code or string from char code doesn't work.
I had also tried to create to set the focus to the display text area then create and dispatch a backspace keydown and keyup events to the visible text area and then return the focus back to the hidden textarea, but... no luck.
