Tab Order of Dynamic Table or subform

Hi,
I have a page with few subforms. At this subforms are dynamic tables or dynamic subforms. How does the tab order works in this kind of layout.
Some time I have a few subforms or tables group together when activiate the tab order form the menu [View->Tab order]. I have the tab order arranged for a dynamic subform. When I preview and add a few instance of the subform (call it subform A), the first instance tab order follow what was set. But when tab to second instance of subform (subform A), the cursor just when to another subform (subform B). Why is that so? Shouldn't it just continue to the second instance?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Mike,
I have faced with the same problem also. So as a temporary solution, in the exit event of the last item in the table, I changed the focus to the next instance's first item. Not a good way. If there is any different solution, waiting also.
Asiye.

  • Achieve the tab order for dynamically added section

    Hi friends,

    How to achieve the tab order for dynamically added sections?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Ya. I'm adding rows in a table dynamically which is grouped in a subform which is flowable and the buttons are placed in the same subform. At the end of the row I'm having the hidden fields.
    So what I want is without focusing the tab on hidden field I want to traverse the first field of the next dynamic row. For that I have used the access property as protected on hidden field, but its not working properly.
    Please help me on this ASAP.

  • Tab order direction and table size

    Hello.
    I have a form with a table that should be filled by the user. The default tab order is Left to Right, and I need it to be Right to Left. I tried to set the tab order from the Tab Order tab, and it worked on the first row, but when adding rows their tab order is left to right again. How can I change the default tab order?
    And one more thing - How can I get the size of the table (number of rows) with JavaScript?

    Hi Arick,
    This is a standard functionality provided by Adobe form. You can see 'Tab order' under options, and using the shift key, decide the order in which you want the tab to move.
    for the number of row, use the following ( i dont know if theres any standard function, but since its repeated nodes of a subform, you can calculate  it in the following way)
    I am assuming that the table is called 'Table1' defined under the root node, and has only headerRow defined. No FooterRow is defined
    var count = 0;
    var nNumRows = form.Table1.nodes.length;
    for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNumRows; nNodeCount ++){
    if (Table1.nodes.item(nNodeCount).className == "subform") {
    if (Table1.nodes.item(nNodeCount).name != "HeaderRow"){
    count++;
    the value of count is the no. of rows in the table

  • Table tab order

    Is there a way to change the tab order in a table so that it goes down a column instead of across?
    Likewise, I would like cells to build in down the column by cell instead of across, i.e. all of the first column comes in one cell at a time and then the next one cell at a time. Is this possible.
    Thanks.

  • Two SubForms with one having dynamic table

    Hello,
    I am having a problem regarding subforms and dynamic tables.  Here is the situation:
    1.  I have one main form where the content is "Flowed"
    2.  I have two subforms, both have the content of "Positioned"
    3.  The first subform has a dynamic table in it.
    The problem that I am having is that when I add a row to the dynamic table in subform 1, the second subform does not move.  I would like it to shift down to accomodate the additional row in the first subform.
    Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    You need to set subform 1 to flowed.
    What is happening is that subform 1 is not expanding with the dynamic table because it is positioned. The table is expanding outside of its parent subform. As subform 1 does not expand, then subform 2 does not move.
    The golden rule is that any subform that has dynamic content and every one of its parent subforms up the hierarchy all the way to the root must be flowed.
    If this rule is not followed then you will get overlapping content. An easy check is to click on dynamic content in the design view and then use the left arrow key to navigate up the hierarchy. Keep an eye on the Subform pallet as you go for erroneous positioned content.

  • Tabbing order in addInstance subforms

    Hello,
    I am trying to set my tabbing order in an addInstance subform. The tabbing works as I expect it to until the user adds an instance of the subform...and then those fields are not addressed until the entire form has been tabbed through.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to include these added subforms in the tabbing order either through LiveCycle or with some code?
    Thanks so much,
    Theresa

    For some reason Designer 8 has the tab order as references to incorrect next fields (correct if it was static, not for dynamic). For example label_equals on replacement subform is pointing to sqfttotal field in the totals subform, which is why any new instance of the repeating subform added is being skipped. The last focus field Button3 traverses to label_equals then to Text2 and then to sqfttotal. Since the middle 2 are non-fields, they are skipped.
    If you want to see where a field really points too in the source, open the XML Source Tab and click on label_equals in the hierarchy for example, you will see a block of xml which looks like
    <traversal>
        <traverse ref="Subform1[0].Text2[0]"/>
    </traversal>
    Not good. Tried moving the tab order around so that Button3 is the last object in the subform, but the binding stays in Designer 8. In Designer 9, when i move Button3 to be the last object, it correctly removes the tab binding and so fixes the issue. Im thinking that this is a bug at the moment, since i cant see any way through the UI to change the last tab focus of an object to be the correct one (once it has been set).
    However, we can can get around this:
    * Move Button3 in replacement to be the last object in the tab order of the repeating subform
    * When you addInstance of the new Subform, set the intial focus to be the first field
    * on Button3, add the following script to the initialise event to remove the bad tab binding
    this.resolveNode("traversal.#traverse").ref = "";
    You dont need Enter / Exit events to set the focus then

  • Setting tab order to form fields contained within a table, Indesign CS6

    I have created a form in ID CS6, and have put all the tabs in order so that people can easily navigate it when filling it in. However, all of the form fields that are contained within tables are not in order, and I can't find any way of putting them in order without changing them in acrobat after I have made the interactive PDF. This means that every time my client makes changes to the form I have to manually put all the fields in order again, which is time consuming. Is anyone able to help?

    This tab order dialogue box is nearly useless if you have a complex form with hundreds of form fields as there is no way to interact with the document when the dialogue is open and clicking on an entry in the list does not highlight the respective field. Furthermore, if you have arrays of radio buttons, or check boxes acting like radio buttons, ie all with the same form field name, there's no way to know which order they should be arranged in since they can't be selected or identified while this dialogue is open!
    That is immensely frustrating to say the least.
    It's quite ridiculous that Adobe hasn't fixed this bug in years and this user interface is shockingly bad.

  • Dynamic Table with repeating Subform

    Hello,
    I am maiking a form which has a Dynamic Table with a repeating Subform.  The repeating subform has a dropdown list field which has three options for the user to pic.  "LABOR", "EQUIPT.", & "MATL."
    The way I want the form to work is the user will choose which item they want to add to the form with the dropdown list.  Whatever amount they put into the "Amount" column will go to the corresponding total "LABORTotal", "EQUIPTTotal", & "MATLTotal"
    The repeating Subform is basically the Row1, but I have the table split up into subforms because of issues I had eariler with the form.  The repeating subform title is "detail". 
    I cannot get the sums for the 3 items to go into the corresponding totals field.  This is the script that I have for the labor total field:
    form1.total.LABORTotal::calculate - (JavaScript, client)
    var nAmount = xfa.resolveNodes("detail[*].Table1.Row1.AMOUNT");
    var nItem = xfa.resolveNodes("detail[*].Table1.Row1.ITEM");
    var nSum = 0;
    for (var i=0; i<nAmount.length; i++)
        if (nItem.item[i].rawValue == "LABOR")
        nSum = nSum + nAmount.item(i).rawValue;
    This.rawValue = nSum;
    I am not familiar with loop scripting or var scripting so I know I am getting it wrong somewhere. 
    I would greatly appreciate any help!
    Thanks

    Okay,
    Here is your form back to you: https://acrobat.com/#d=IA67zcTBrWlnpcYS234*XQ.
    The issue wasn't the script. If you select the dropdown and go to the Object > Binding palette, you will see you had ticked "Specify values" and these were set to 1, 2 and 3.
    This meant that if the user selected LABOR, the value of the dropdown was "1" and NOT "LABOR". This was throwing the if statement.
    I deselected the specify values and it worked as expected.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • How to add dynamic ordered list in dynamic table?

    Ok let say I have a dynamic table with 4 columns; 1) Name 2) Tel 3) Address 4) Occupation. I don't populate primary key id to the table but what I want to do is add another column to the dynamic table and label the header as No. or #. I want to make the column as list colum for my dynamic table. If the dynamic table displays 10 record (row) in a page the list row will automatically follow the number of rows. Then in the next page the list will continue from 20 and so on.
    I use PHP so if it's not possible directly from dreamweaver and PHP solution is highly welcomed.
    Thanks in advance!

    You just need to create a counter and populate the 'No.' with the current value of the counter.
    > I want to make the column as list colum for my dynamic table.
    Not sure what you mean by 'list column'.

  • Dynamic table in Offline interactive form

    Hi Experts,
              I want to add dynamic table (for Purchase Order line items). Number of rows in table will depend on item in purchase order. So, table rows should be added and data can be entered in table rows.
             Can anyone give me the steps to solve this issue...
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Nilesh

    Hi,
    You can use Following JavaScript for adding row in the Table:
    xfa.resolveNode("Table.item").instanceManager.addInstance(1);
    Make sure you have made BP as Flowed Content and the Item and Table subform is also flowed content.
    Check the Min Row count checkbox of Item subform also
    Hope this helps.

  • Tab Order of POPUPKEY_FROM_LOV doesn't seem to work?

    Hi All,
    If got a POPUPKEY_FROM_LOV in my PL/SQL Dynamic code as follows:
    APEX_ITEM.POPUPKEY_FROM_LOV(33,lClient,'CLIENTS',60,100,0,'YES',
    500,'tabindex="30" ')
    but it does not recognize the item in the tab order.
    Can I do it and if so what am I doing incorrectly?
    Bill

    that doesn't help
    I did this:
    lerrmsg:='Client Display.';
    lrtrn:=APEX_ITEM.POPUPKEY_FROM_LOV(33,lClient,'CLIENTS',60,100,0,
    'YES',500);
    lrtrn:=Replace(lrtrn,'<a href','<a tabindex="30" href');
    the table index needs to be on the anchor image not the disabled text item.

  • Tab Order setting does not persist

    Hi There,
    We have one specific form (a dynamic, flowed form, with repeating subforms and fragments), that we need to have automatic Tab Ordering.
    We have found that (for this form only) the Tab Order keeps resetting to Custom.  We are working on the xdp file, and it means that we need to remember to reset it to "Automatic" just before saving everytime (when we save the PDF).
    Is there something in the xdp that would cause it for an individual form?  Is this something we can fix?
    Thanks

    I have also been having issues in regards to the tab order. We contacted Adobe and they apparently had trouble understanding what our issues were. We had the same thing you are running into with the tab order resetting, but never could figure out why it did. When we sent our file to Adobe, they told us it was working fine when they looked at it and they closed our ticket stating that our issue was resolved.
    Well it isn't resolved and here we sit with forms that don't tab correctly if we don't reset the order EVERY time (sometimes even if we do set the tab order it goes wonky on us).
    So if you contact them and get an answer please share!

  • Setting Tab Order in LiveCycle Designer 7.1

  • Dynamic table grows to 3 pages, preceding section of document moves, appears in middle of table!

    I have a form with several sections, say (a) 'header', (b) 'instructions', (c) dynamic table.    This works very well in general - as long as the total form fits on 2 pages.
    However, if the number of rows in the dynamic table gets too large, and flows to page 3 (or more), then the 'instructions' section moves from being in it's normal order - and shows up inside the table at the top of page 3 (last page)!     i.e., this section shows breaks the flow of the table, inserts a complete section, and then continues with the table!   
    Any ideas?    I've tried manually hiding/showing things and other tricks to try to get it to work as it does with a smaller table.

    After mucho effort to reduce the problem, it turned out that I had the misbehaving section "Keep with -previous-" checked.    Not sure what this does really, and it certainly wasn't working correctly - but heck, removing it solved my problem.
    I did reproduce the problem to this:
    subform - marked 'Keep with previous"
    repeating table
    That's it.    Once the size of the repeating table goes to page 3, the previous subform jumps to the top of page 3.    Go figure.
    (Somewhat humorously, in the linked to file - even the preceding element to the offending subform is also dragged to the top of page 3.)
    Clearly shows bug in a minimal form - http://www.radioshowlinks.com/f/cwb/TooSimple-v13.pdf

  • Page breaks with dynamic table

    Hi there!
    We've built a LiveCycle process in which we get data from an XML file and generate the PDF in LC Output.
    However, although the items are being correctly generated in the table, only the first 20 or so records are being included, generatin just one page.
    There are around 200 records in the XML - we just can't find how to set up the XDP in LC Designer so that we get a multipages PDF containing all 200 records instead of just 20.
    We are using a dynamic table with the following set up:
    Pagination: Following Previous
    In Binding tab, we checked Repeat Row for Each Data Item
    This table was inserted using the Insert Table option in main menu, using the wizard and it's inserted in a subform.
    All these setup options were applied to the table row element.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!
    Marcos

    Hi Niall,
    Thank you for the input!
    However, there's something else we're missing here.
    After I tried your suggestion there were actually page breaks... we got 4 pages. However, only one of them had any content (the dynamic table with 30 records) and the other three were blank. The XML that populates the table includes 200 records.
    We're pulling our hair off here, trying to do this for days!...
