Tabbing to next available field Issue

I created a form with several fields but when i click on tab (on my keyboard) the focus of my cursor doesnt go in any particular order. Is there a way to manipulate when I tab from one field to another?
Thanks

I found many posts in this forum asking this question.
Go to the forum search and search for "tab order". You should see many similar questions.

Auto tab to next form field

In some forms, when the user types in, for example, the area code for   their phone number, they are automatically tabbed to the cell for the 3   digit prefix and upon completing the prefix they are automatically tabbed to the final cell for the phone number. I know that the user can hit the tab key themselves, but is Acrobat capable of automatically doing this using form fields created in Acrobat in version 9 or 10 Pro?

It should be the actual name of the next field. The problem with that particular script is for a text field with a three character limit, you have to attempt to enter another character before it will set the focus to the next field.
Here's a function you can create in a document-level JavaScript that you can call in a text field's custom Keystroke JavaScript that should behave as you want:
// Document-level function
function tab_next(next_field_name) {
    // Move to next field if Enter key is pressed
    // or the user has clicked outside of the field
    // or if the number of character is the character limit
    if (event.willCommit || AFMergeChange(event).length === event.target.charLimit) {
        getField(next_field_name).setFocus();
Then call it like this as the Keystroke script of a text field:
// Autotab to the "text2" field
tab_next("text2");
This particular script will only work if you're set the character limit for the field from which it is called. There are a lot of autotab scripts that folks have created for use with Acrobat (some better than others) that address a particular circumstance, so you'll probably run across more with a search.

Pressing tab key within table not scrolling to next input field

Hi All,
I have a table with editable and read only fields. I have more than 20 columns. When the tab Key is pressed it scrolls only to the editable fields that are in the visible screen. It does not scroll the table to the right to the next input field.
However if I change the screen size so that the scroll bar is required for the browser then it will scroll across moving the browser scroll bar, moving the cursor to the input field that was not visible. Again it does not go further moving the scroll bar within the table to the next editable field to the right.
The table has been set to scrollable with the scrollable column count set to 8.
We are using explorer 8 on 7.01
Is it possible to have the tab key move from input field to input field scrolling the table to the next input field if it is not visible yet?
Thanks
Bruce

What you describe sounds like the correct functionality. If you set a scrollable column count, only the visble rows are actually rendered on the client side. When you use the horizontal scroll bar, you are triggering a server side event to retrive the next set of visible columns. Therefore the browser doesn't actually know anything about non-visible columns and hence the tab can't go to them.
When you increase the number of visible columns (or don't set anything for visible column) you render al the columns on the client side and use the browser scrolling. Therefore the tab works.

Edit MP3 Information by tabbing to next field

Hi everyone. I recentely updated my iTunes to the latest version (10.4) on Snow Leopard. After the update I have lost the ability to tab through the various fields while editing a MP3 in list view. For example, when I click to edit the song Name, in previous versions I was able to hit tab to jump to the Artist field, then tab again to Album, etc.
With the current version I am unable to do so. Is there anyway to bring this functionality back or downgrade back to iTunes 10.3? Any help would be appreciated.

Same issue on Lion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15773707#15773707

Problem with Tab to Next Field

If I recall correctly, in the past when I wanted to print specific pages from a document, I tabbed once to get from the number of copies field to the field next to "from" to indicate the first page I wanted printed, then tabbed again and entered the last page I wanted to print.
I am finding that when I open the print dialog, it is starts with the "Printer" drop down menu highlights. If I tab, it next goes to the "Presets". The next tab sends it to the "All" radio button. If I tab yet again, I finally get to the field to enter the "from" field to enter the first page I want printed. Instead of one Tab to get to the "from" field, I have to Tab 3 times.
I am finding this same type of behavior in other programs as well. It used to be, if I recall correctly, that tabbing to the next field only selected those fields in which a numeric value could be entered from the keyboard. Now every button and dropdown menu seems to selected as I am tabbing.
When I compose an email, I used to be able to start composing the email after tabbing from the subject field. Now, after I tab from the subject field, the next stop is the drop down menu to select which header fields are visible. Tabbing again brings me to the "From" drop down menu. The next tab is the "Signature" drop down menu. Tabbing again brings me to the priority drop down menu. After the 5th press of the tab key, I finally get to the field that allows me to type my email content. The four presses of the tab key really slow things down.
These extra presses of the tab key are a royal pain. I am finding that I am using the mouse to go directly from one field to the next.
Has anyone else had this experience? Is there a preference to go back to the way it used to work?

This is planned to be fixed in the next release.

CD-ROM drive letter changed to the next available letter after an issue with the Storage appliance.

Server platform:Windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
Last time we experienced an issue with the storage device we are using to attach a disk to our server 2008 (virtual). This storage device is also providing storage to the ESX where the server 2008 is hosted.
The drive configuration in the server was:
System C:\
Tools D:\
Apps E:\
CD-ROM F:\
Some hours after the storage appliance issue, we realized the Application on the server was not working and then we restarted the server. After restarting the server we went to the file explorer and realized that the Apps volume had the drive letter F and
the CD-ROM had the E letter assigned.
I assume windows lost the Apps disk due to the SAN disconnection. Maybe the CD-ROM was also disconnected and when the Storage appliance was connected again the CD-ROM acquire the next drive letter it found, which was the letter E:. Then the Apps disk was
also discovered by Windows and it assigned the next available letter, F:.
I was looking for some MS knowledge base to see how Windows 2008 server assigns the letter to the CD-ROM and how we can permanently fix the letter assigned to the disks and the CD-ROM so that this issue won't happen again. As you know many applications use
the path including the drive letter.
I thought that when you set a CD-ROM drive letter, it remains forever as is, and that in case of a SAN disconnection Windows assigns the same letter the drive had before the disconnection.
Please advice if you have some documentation about this. And let me know if you have any thoughts about what really happened to prevent this in the future.
Thank you guys!!

Hi, for the APP's drive it could had been assigned a new letter if the system did seen it as a new disk/partition.
The partition was on your esx's LUN on the SAN ? (not an iSCSI connection from inside a VM?)

Crystal Reports Cross-Tab Report not showing all available fields

I am running CR2008 against MS SQL Express. I have several tables with fields and data in them and can create standard reports to show all the data in all the fields. However, when I try to create a cross-tab report, only some of the fields appear for me to choose from.
I created a standard report with all the fields I needed in my cross-tab report and ran a preview. Everything was there. I then added a cross-tab object, selected the tables only to find that fields that are in the main report are not showing up for selection in the cross-tab.

UPDATE: I exported the entire database from MS SQLExpress to MS Access and I am having the same issues, so it does not appear to be a problem with the database engine and, since the standard tabular reports show the fields, I am at a loss as to why they don't show up in the cross-tab or the Parameter fields.
I am creating the cross-tab through the Cross-Tab wizard. Is there maybe a bug in that? Is there a way to create it otherwise?

Multiple Signature Fields - Auto tab to next signature?

I'm working with documents that have more than one signature field. Is there a script I can use that will tell the document to automatically go to the next signature field and start signing after the first field is signed? I am fairly new to scripts in adobe. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It's for an agreement for one or two sellers to agree to sell an item. It requires their initials in 10 places and signature in about 4 or 5 . I'm using a Topaz digital signature pad for the signatures to be placed on there as digital signatures. Instead of manually clicking on each signature, i'd like to start a 'batch' signature process, so Seller 1 can sit down and sign and initial as needed and it automatically takes them to each one, and then seller 2 can do the same.
Yes, I realize that in essence what I'm really looking for are electronic signatures, not digital signatures, but the only method I've seen for this would be a custom stamp, and I don't know of a way to create one on the fly with their signature and place it where it needs to be on the document in a speedy manner. The process described in paragraph 1 seems to me to be the easiest and fastest way to get the sellers signatures onto the PDF. I would probably also script in some pop up dialog boxes for each signature, i.e., "Seller 1 Please Initial". and a submit button so the signed document can be emailed to the main office. However I can figure that out on my own, it's figuring out how to make it automatically pop up the next signature field after finish one that I'm not sure how to get done.

Custom Attribute not available in Available Fields section of Configuration

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to add a custom search field in contact search screen. For that i tried various options
Option1
Added a model attribute in component/view BP_CONT SEARCH/Search. The attribute got successfully added. But when i opened the Configuration tab, i could not see the attribute in the available fields.
Option 2
In the view CRMVC_SDESIGN, i created a new entry for my attribute in object type: BP_CONTACT and design object . But doing so, i got an error and was not able to add my attribute
Option3
Since the View context node 'Search' is bound to the Component Controller Context node 'Search'. I created my custom attribute in compoennt controller also. But this also did not help.
Option 4
I deleted the enhancement of the view and created a new enhancement. I created a value node in Search context node. But still the attribute is not available in the Availble Fields in the Configuration of component/view BP_CONT_SEARCH/SEARCH.
Kindly provide your valuable suggestions to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Radhika
Edited by: Radhika Chuttani on Jan 6, 2012 7:28 AM

Hi Radhika,
You need to enhance the search query structure as well in order to get the field in the configuration.
You can find the BOL structure for the corresponding context node bol model.
In your case, the BOL model is the search object 'BuilContactAdvancedSearch'.
The corresponding structure can be found at the BOL Model Browser, under Dynamic Query Objects
for the search object 'BuilContactAdvancedSearch'. The corresponding structure 'CRMT_BUPA_IL_CONP_SEARCH'
has to be enhanced with the new custom attribute. Only then, this field would be available in the configuration
when the following htm code gets executed when you open the configuration tab.
<thtmlb:advancedSearch id                = "advs0"
                                 fieldMetadata     = "<%= controller->GET_DQUERY_DEFINITIONS( ) %>"
                                 header            = "<%= SEARCH->get_param_struct_name( ) %>"
                                 fieldNames        = "<%= controller->GET_POSSIBLE_FIELDS( ) %>"
                                 values            = "//SEARCH/PARAMETERS"
                                 maxHits           = "//SEARCH/MAX_HITS"
                                 ajaxDeltaHandling = "false"
                                 onEnter           = "search" />
Here you can see that, it reads the parameter structure using the method SEARCH->get_param_struct_name( ) of
the context node.This is used for configuration as well.
Also if you have an F4 help for your custom attribute, you have to add it in the GET_DQUERY_DEFINITIONS( ) of the
view controller. These additional information will help you to understand better.

Workaround for compressor HDV to DVD field issue?

I need a work around for the field issue apparent when down-converting HDV to DVD.
The Bonsai method <http://www3.telus.net/bonsai/Welcome.html> will not work, as there is too much motion and a side effect of the "fastest" conversion is that it gives a 3-d ghosting effect on fast motion in the frame.
I can not convert to 720P60 or 480P, as FCP converts it to 30P and then doubles the frames, and the motion is jittery.
I could dump it to camera and then down-convert in camera, but I have heard this is not a great method either.
I have seen in another forum to save the HDV timeline in FCP as a HDV quicktime movie, and then import that into DVD studio pro and have it down-convert, but DVD studio pro says this is an "incompatible file".
How do I get 1080i HDV footage onto a DVD so that it looks acceptable?

I had a similar problem with HDV (1080i shot on Cannon HV-20) footage, looks great in post and terrible when converted (herringbone lines and too many artifacts.) I’ve successfully used the Bonsai method on another piece I did but the footage was shot on a HVX-200 at 720 24p and there were no “action” shots. I wasn’t as successful using the method using 1080i footage and it definitely didn’t help with the fast motion shots. I did a search in this forum on HD to SD and there are a lot of helpful hints and methods. I experimented with a lot of the suggestions but in the end I was able to produce very nice and acceptable results by doing the following:
1] I didn’t create an SD sequence; I exported the footage as a Quicktime movie (self contained) straight from my HDV sequence.
2] I dropped the Quicktime file into Compressor and selected 90-minute DVD Anamorphic Best 2-pass VBR. Running Compressor from Final Cut ties up your system as well as there seems to be a delay between the handoff from Final Cut to Compressor (running the latest 5.x version and 2.3.) Creating a Quicktime file frees your system and it’s debatable if you actually compress faster or take a hit on quality. I’ve tested both from Final Cut and using a Quicktime file and didn't see any real difference in quality.
3] Change the field dominance from Top to Progressive in the tab where you see 2-Pass VBR Best and also in the encoding tab (not in front of my system so I can’t recall the name or order of the icons). In the encoding tab you will notice it says “same as source.” The pull down will show you Top, Bottom, Progressive, Automatic…I tried them all and in various combinations and anything other than progressive in both tabs produced undesirable results.
4] The options for Fast, Good, Better and Best in the other encoding pull down sections are a matter of preference and patience. Selecting Best in all categories takes a really long time to compress (36 hours for a 9-minute piece using a Mac Pro 3.0GHz dual-core Intel with 4GB ram.) I ran tests using different combinations and found that selecting the default settings is decent and stepping each category up to the next level helped but not enough to warrant the long compression cycle to stick with Better across the board. When you do your testing, it’s best to use as little footage as possible or you will find yourself waiting too long to see the actual results. I used a 1-second (29 frames) shot of a girl twirling around, hair flying everywhere, and girls next to her using hula-hoop’s.
5] Use the sliding bar in the viewer to see the impact of your choices before submitting the job. To the right you will see the “original” footage and to the left you can see the results of your selection. You can move the bar across the footage to see (approximately) the end results.
6] One thing I did notice is that no matter what settings I use, the output is slightly darker (reds were deeper, skin tones were warmer and not as smooth), but hey, you are going from HDV to SD so it’s not going to be perfect.
Hope that helps and good luck.

In creating DATASOURCE in BI 7, "PROPOSAL" tab isn't available. Any reason?

Hi,
In BI 7, while creating a datasource, there should be 5 tabs:
General Info, Extraction, Proposal, Fields, Preview
I typically will use a sample file and BI will propose the fields, etc. without have to type them.
I just realized that the PROPOSAL tab is NOT available.
Can you help figure what is going on?
Thanks

How to show the next available number to populate

I have a page which displays all of my columns.
My second column are numbers. If the 3rd column is filled in, the data on all of the columns will be displayed including the 2nd column on this page.
If the 3rd column is not filled in yet, only the next number of the 2nd column will be displayed somewhere on the page together with the rest of the data mentioned above. This number will be the next higher available number, or in other words, the next lowest number without something filled in for the 3rd column.
So when I click on this number, I can go to the next page to at least populate column 3. Thanks.

Let me see if I can explain better.
I have a table with all fields displayed including the edit icon on the left.
Let me see if I can illustrate this. Let the capital letters be columns of this table.
And let the data be as shown under the lettered columns. Here is a hypothetical sample of the data. The ...... is just to make the spacing happen for the columns to line up in this example
..... A B C D E.........F
edit 1 7 .c .d e 01-MAY-2008
edit 1 8 .c .d e 02-MAY-2008
edit....9...........-- would like to display this line
I would like to display the next available number for column B (in this case number 9 since it is after 8) for me to be able to edit by filling in data in the rest of the columns.
Now, for column B, I have number 9 all the way to say, 1000 available in the database but with no other data, just the number itself existing. Because these numbers (like 9) in column B have no data yet in colunm C, it will not be displayed in the table because there is no data to look at.
So after I can add data to column C and maybe other columns, then when I apply changes will #9 and its data show up in the table after data 8 and then #10 will show up as the next number available to receive data where 9 use to appear.
I hope this clarified it.

TAB ORDER OF FORM FIELDS HEEEELLLP PLEASE

I have a nice form set up in flash. I can enter text in the
fields, but as I tab from the first field to the next, I end up on
text in another area of the page before tabbing again to land on
another field, then when I tab again, I get the next field, tab
again and leave the form to find text elsewhere, then tab again to
come back to the form. The order of fields I would like to have is
name, company, email, phone, message. What I'm getting is name, off
the form, off the form, company, email, message, phone. Please tell
me what I'm not doing so the tabs go from one field seamlessly to
the next. THANK YOU.

Auto-tabbing between input text fields in AS3

Hello-
I am having some trouble figuring out how to work auto-tabbing between input text fields when a user inputs a character. I have a series of text boxes with maxChar set to 1, and when the user inputs a character, I would like it to auto-tab to the next one. I'm putting together a crossword-style banner ad so the auto-tabbing will help tremendously. All the input text fields are instanced on the stage as input1, input2, etc; not called in from a custom class. Also, I've been working with AS3 for about 2 weeks lol!
thanks!

Awesome, thank you, that works nicely! Now I need to figure out how to capture individual keyCodes for each input and then come up with a conditional to check for right or wrong answers. I have a "check your answers" button all set up. I think I am almost there, possibly a syntax hiccup for me. Any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.
