Text alignment in the buttons

Hi!
I placed two buttons (Send by Email and Reset Form)into my form design. In PDF preview I had noticed that both of texts of buttons are moved to the right side and first letters (S and R) are visible only.
Many thanks for advices!

In Adobe Acrobat XPro, my text label on the button disappears

Hello,
I have created a button in my form in Adobe Acrobat XPro. This button is set to Save and Send so that the form gets emailed.
The text on the button, "Save and Send" disappears when I preview the form.
Any ideas as to how to fix?
Thanks.

Did you set the label of the button?

Setting a buttons .value property(the text displayed on the button)

I need a button's display to change based on a condition. I have this javascript code in my page html header:
<script type="text/javascript">
function test()
document.getElementById("CREATE").value="COPY";
</script>
In my page html body attribute I call it:
onload="test()";
Why doesn't this work in APEX? It works just fine when I opened notepad and created a quick html page.
Since my button(named CREATE) is a region button(and tied to auto dml process item) does it not have an object id like the ones you can create in the items section? IE: If I create a button called P1_MYBUTTON then the javascript works since P1_MYBUTTON is the id. I thought since the region button is called CREATE that it was some anomoly on the part of oracle design of apex not to have it's name be P1_CREATE.
Are we not allowed to access buttons that are region buttons?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Gib

by the way, put this into notepad, save it as test.html and run it then click the button on the page. This is what I am trying to do in APEX:
<html>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function replaceButtonText(buttonId, text)
if (document.getElementById)
var button=document.getElementById(buttonId);
if (button)
if (button.childNodes[0])
button.childNodes[0].nodeValue=text;
else if (button.value)
button.value=text;
else //if (button.innerHTML)
button.innerHTML=text;
</SCRIPT>
<body>
The content of the body element is displayed in your browser.<br><br>
<input type="button" value="Button Text" id="myButton1" onClick="replaceButtonText('myButton1', 'Works!');">
</body>
</html>

Dynamically populate the text propert of the Button in JSP

Hello,
I have the following code in the doInitialization() method:
      IPortalComponentRequest request =((IPortalComponentRequest)this.getRequest());
      myBean = new MyBean();
      myBean.setText("Submit");
      request.getComponentSession().putValue("myBean", myBean);
doProcessBeforeOutput forwards the request to JSP
this.setJspName("MyView.jsp");
and the JSP is:
<%@ taglib uri="tagLib" prefix="hbj"%>
<jsp:useBean
id="myBean"
scope="session"
class="Test.portal.MyBean"
/>
<hbj:button
id="MyButton"
text="<%= myBean.getText() %>"
onClick="click"
tooltip="submit">
</hbj:button>
By doing this I was hoping to see the text of the button to be 'Submit' but it is empty. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Asheesh

I found a similar post on the forum. I had to remove the following from portalapp.xml
<property name="ComponentType" value="jspnative"/>
<property name="JSP" value="pagelet/MyView.jsp"/>
Once I did that the Submit text on the button appeared.
Do you know why having these properties were causing the problem?

Problem with text alignment in the panelheader

Hi,
We are using <af:panelheader> in our jspx file. We are using custom CSS for alignments. The text we are displaying inside this panel header is top-aligned by default. But we want to align this text to middle. In our custom CSS file, we tried with different options to align this text to middle(ex: vertical-align:text-bottom;caption-side: bottom;...). Please guide me on this like which option to use.
Our CSS code for panelheader is this:
.AFHeaderLevelOne,.x1x,H1.af_panelHeader,H1.x20,H1.af_showDetailHeader,H1.x21,.af_messages_header,.x24,.p_OraProductBrandingCompactText,.x5b,.PortletHeaderText,.x6n,.PortletHeading1,.x6o,.PortletSubHeaderText,.x6u,.portlet-section-header,.x73,.portlet-section-subheader,.x77,.portlet-table-header,.x7a,.portlet-table-subheader,.x7e {caption-side: bottom; background-color: rgb(233,233,209);vertical-align:text-bottom;white-space: nowrap; height: 37px; font-family:Tahoma;font-size:17px;color:#9c7200;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;font-weight:bold}
and panelHeader code inside jspx is this:
<afh:rowLayout id="rowLayout1" width="100%" >
<afh:cellFormat columnSpan="4" height="37">
<af:panelHeader text="Add Law Firm"/>
</afh:cellFormat>
</afh:rowLayout>
Thanks & Regards,
Yeshwanth.

Hi,
try
.AFHeaderAlias{vertical-align:text-bottom; white-space: nowrap; height: 37px; font-family:Tahoma;font-size:17px;color:#9c7200;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;font-weight:bold}
or
h1.x20{vertical-align:text-bottom; white-space: nowrap; height: 37px; font-family:Tahoma;font-size:17px;color:#9c7200;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;font-weight:bold}
both work

Text Alignment - Image Captions

I am trying to set up a wiki page with various images, and wanted to provide each image with a caption (displayed underneath). What is the best way to achieve this? I haven't seen any options for text alignment in the wiki, and it strips my CSS attributes out.
Ideas?

I have been able to solve this in the following manner:
1) Switch to code view by clicking on the "" button.
2) Add your image that will have a cation using the following syntax:
The longdesc attribute will be used as the target location in case you want to link it (I haven't yet figured out how to make the link work in the same browser without opening a new window).
The key here was to use the thumbnail class.
Any other thoughts or insights that you may have related to this?
Thanks!

JRadioButton/JCheckBox and text alignement

Hi all,
It is possible only using JRadioButton and JCheckBox to have when using several
of these elements to have text on the left aligned to left and the button right aligned
with the gap in between being variable so that start of text and buttons are aligned.
I would like to have that
Text of my fist button    0
2nd text                  0
3rd text                  0
^--- text left aligned    ^---- here the radiobuttons/check boxes right alignedI know how to set text on the left side: myRadioButton.setHorizontalTextPosition(myRadioButton.LEADING).
This is not a problem.
Thanx,
Xavier.

Looking at this, I can't see an easy way. Using the
components you specified, I guess I would set the font
to a fixed size font, and pad the labels with spaces.
If I was going it, I would make each label a JLabel,
not assign a label to a checkbox, and put them
together with a GridLayout. Hope this helpsWell this can be a solution but I would like two things:
-1 be able to use any font
-2 have the default behaviour of RadioButton or Checkbox
that is text also selectable not only the button itself.
I tried another solution: working the FontMetrics and
defined gap between text and icon. But it must be buggy
because it is look and feel (L&F) dependant. In my example,
it only works as expected for motif L&F (i'm running under XP).
And funny enough in my real application, it also works on XP.
Metal that should be the most portable is the worse! :(
I tried J2SE 1.4.3_02 and 1.5.0beta1: same result reagding
alignement.
Is it a bug or a mistake from my side?

Text types along the horizontal border of the text box instead of being written inside of it. What's wrong?

I created a text box by dragging the horizontal text tool.
But when I start typing, the text aligns along the upper border of the box instead of being written inside of it.
It looks like this.
How can I fix this, so that the text is inserted inside the defined box?
Much thanks in advance!

I just figured it out! Can't believe I was this clueless.
I just had to change the font height back to 100%. Haha

Text alignment with footnotes

In (unstructured) Framemaker, I can't get (especially
footnote) text to sit consistently at the very bottom of the page.
I don't want to use feathering, as this knocks out the line-by-line
text alignment across the page. Is there any obvious way of getting
the variable space to appear between the main text and the footnote
separator as standard?

FTE does the low-level work of laying out glyphs within a
TextLine (including mapping Unicode characters to glyphs and
implementing the bidirectional layout algorithm), not the
high-level work of arranging TextLines relative to each other. It
leaves the latter task to libraries such as TLF, so that they can
implement complex algorithms like
flowing-from-container-to-container or
wrapping-text-around-an-image. These don't really belong in the
Player because they are less clearly defined and need to evolve
more quickly to meet the needs of various use cases.
So... even something as basic as laying out a block of
right-aligned text is not something that FTE was designed to make
effortless. A low-level package like FTE was designed for
generality, not for ease-of-use.

JLabel with an icon aligned to the right side.

Hi all,
I need a JLabel with an Icon aligned to the right but with the text aligned to the left side.
Is it possible?
How can I accomplish this?
Please help me, I've spent almost 2 hours on this.
Thanks on advance.

Just so you know, though, you use JLabel.setHorizontalTextPosition to determine where the text is relative to the image:
JLabel label = new JLabel("Text", new ImageIcon(...), JLabel.CENTER); // For example
label.setHorizontalTextPostion(JLabel.LEFT);Hope this helps.

Hot keys for the button

hi friends,
Is it possible to remove a mnemonic associated with a button based on the focus of the cursor?
For example, when focus is on text field TF1, the button B1 should have a hot key ALT_B but when the focus is on textfield TF2, the button B1 should not have the hot key ALT_B.. that is, if focus is on TF2 and user enters ALT_B.. button B1 action should not be performed.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Deepa Raghuraman

You could use Button.setMnemonic(0) (thats the method that takes an int as the argument) to disable the mnemonic. And Button.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_B) to enable it again (for the character 'b').
But don't misunderstand me either, if I open a new dialog and see a button that signifies to me : You can use ALT_B to toggle me because thats the character that has a line below it, I would be surprised it that doesn't work just a few seconds later, because some application logic took that feature away from me.
Think about it, but otherwise the above methods should work. May you have to repaint/inavlidate the button to set/remove the underlined character

Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?

My users are unable to center text when edited pages in CS3 and CS4. The standard paragraph alignment buttons are grayed out.
All the users of my site have Admin role, and I have set up the role to allow unrestricted editing. And "Allow Users to Apply Styles"... At screenshot of some of my settings is attached. I don't see why Contribute is not allowing this basic element to work.
Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I experienced the very same issue, but found an interesting quick-fix that worked for us.
Several of my webpage content managers reported that they could not change the text alignment in pages created using Dreamweaver nested templates. We use nested editable regions in order to restrict portions of the pages (i.e. banners and navigation menus) from being edited.
I found that Contribute CS4 could realign text in some parts of the affected pages, but not others.
Further exam revealed that Contribute could change the alignment on any text that was inside a table on those pages. If I inserted a table and then cut-n-pasted the problem text into the table, the text lost its style/formatting, but it could then have its alignment changed.
Any text not inside a table could not have the alignment changed by Contribute and changing its style/formatting made no difference.
One note though: It was interesting that after pasting the text into a table, if I selected a chunk of text, the alignment buttons grayed out again. However, if I simply clicked on the line of text (did not select it), the buttons remained active and the text alignment could be changed.
I don't know why it is happening. The nested regions were working fine, or so I thought, until recently.
The above is a quick-fix and got my page content managers back online, but I'm still searching for a long-term solution if anyone has one.
Good luck...
