Text Entry Field All Caps?

Is there a way to make the text entry field show all caps as an end user types?
Thank you,
cgoebel

Hi Lilybiri,
When you say "after submitting", what does that mean? I need the text to show as all caps as the end user is typing...and can then retain it if the lesson requires using the Retain Text property.
And since this may be possible via JavaScript, anyone have the script to share?
Thank you,
cgoebel

Hi there,
I have placed 2 text entry fields that are for username & a password, I on publish/preview, I type the username and go to hit the TAB key to move to the password field but nothing happens & cursor does not move to the other field...
I did try a quick search for this question as I thought it must of happened before to others, but could not find what I needed..the answer ;-)
Kind Regards
Rossco
DOH! I just found some more information on tabbing between these fields, so will check that out fisrt........must be Friday (over here)

Hi There,
Welcome to Adobe Forum.
Have you tried using the shortcut option assigned as "Tab" in the action properties of the text entry box as shown in the following image:

Trying to create bookmarks but the text is in all caps

We need to make bookmarks in a pdf. The previous versions of Acrobat (we upgraded to XI Pro) we could highlight text on a pdf, click bookmarks and the bookmark title would appear. Unfortunately the text is in all caps. If it possible to set it up so text won’t be in all caps?
The solution is to manually retype each bookmark from all cps to regular text. But if there is a workaround Id love to hear it.
Thanks.

Organize Bookmarks was renamed to '''Show All Bookmarks''' back in the Firefox 4.0 version.
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks or { Ctrl + Shft + B }
BTW, you will need to '''restore''' that JSON backup file, import is for HTML bookmarks files that were exported from a web browser.

Reset button for text entry field

Hello,
How do I add a reset button that removes information entered into a text entry field?
Thanks in advanced!

Hmm, is there a reason why you don't use the Likert type of question, and have the Clear button (you can change the label to 'Reset') available? That would be a lot easier.
And if you want to create such a custom slide, why don't you use the enhanced radiobuttons widget from Jim Leichliter? I explained how to reset the radiobuttons choice it in this blog post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/extended-widgets-for-custom-mcq-and-tf-questi
And in this one I explained similar work flow for the extended TextArea widget. Same logic can be used for the enhanced TEB I talked about in my first answer:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/extended-textarea-widget-more-functionality
Since you are using 5.5, no output for HTML5 is possible, so you can use those widgets. Really, although I'm an Advanced Actions fan, I would never try to realize this the way you are doing it. Maybe with shared actions in 7, or with the new copy+paste functionality for advanced actions in 7.0.1 but not in 5.5. Be sure: my memory about the different versions is pretty good.

Text Entry fields in Training mode to Typing field in Demo mode

My SME has decided she doesn't want the learners to actually type in a bunch of fields in the Training sim I'm making and instead wants them to be shown the fields being filled in for them, like the way Captivate does in Demo mode. Is there a way to quickly and easily change Text Entry fields in a Training sim to the Typing format from Demo mode? Does that even make sense? HELP! I'm using Captivate 4 and will be outputing to Flash to embed into an Articulate presentation. Thanks!

Hi there
Probably the best you can hope for is to copy the text to the Windows Clipboard. Then delete the Text Entry Box object and insert a Text Animation. You have two to choose from for just basic typing.
Typing Text
Typing Text with Sound
Then you would paste the copied text as the text to be typed and configure the font characteristics as necessary.

On Android 4.2.2 on a Nexus7 tablet - No Firefox button and most text entry fields do not work at all

I installed Firefox 19.0.2 and appears to be ok, but I don't see a Firefox button anywhere, so I cannot access any of the functions that it controls, such as bookmarks, which is why I installed it!
The ASUS Nexus 7 tablet shows up as a supported platform.
I set it as the default link browser, but quickly realized that I could not enter text into any data entry fields, so I reset the default back to Chrome, which works fine for that.
I installed Firefox because bookmarks in Chrome are very lame, but I can't use bookmarks at all in Firefox, so again Chrome wins.
Any suggestions, before I uninstall it?

I am now a Democrat supporter. dccc.org does accept text input from my mobile.
The forum problem I mentioned earlier is apparently a known issue but only affecting legacy phones.

Text Field All Caps?

I'm making an application form and prefer some of the fields to appear in all caps when a user types in information. Is there any way to make text fields font all caps? I looked under the font options but can only change the font, make things bold, italicized, underlined and a different size. Thanks!

There are two methods to convert a field to UpperCase. Both are used on the Exit event, and JavaScript language should be selected.
this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toUpperCase();
or,
var uc = TextField1.rawValue;
TextField1.rawValue = uc.toUpperCase();
I hope this helps.

Wanted: document text headers in All Caps, but in TOC Sentence Case. How?!

We have headers in our document that need to be appear within the document body as all caps. When referencing them in the TOC using a different paragraphs style created specifically for the TOC, we need it to appear Sentence Case. Is there a way to do this?
InDesign CS5 7.0
Windows XP SP3

Joel gives you the right solution, ^.
Also consider that you can manipulate TOC entries by implanting invisible alternate headers on your pages. I've done this when I want the visible headers to be more descriptive, or "wordy," than the TOC entries need to be. For instance, (and this is just a silly example for certain), let's say you've got a header: "Why tie your shoes when Velcro is so quick and easy?" That may be long enough to foul the desired structure of your TOC, so you could put an alternate header on the same page; something like, "Laces vs. Velcro" and set its character color to none. With invisible headers and strategic paragraph style assignments, you can manipulate TOC entries any way you like.

How can I format a form so that all text entered is "all caps"?

Thanks in advance for your help. I am trying to format a form so that all text extered is in "all caps". I am using Adobe Acrobat X. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can use a custom key stroke script like:
// custom keystroke
if(event.willCommit == false) {
if(event.value.length < 1 ) {
// set first characater to caps
event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();
} // end lentgh less than 1;
} // end custom keystroke
And then a custom format or validation script:
// custom format or validation script
if(event.value != "" && event.value.substr(event.value.length -1, 1) != ".") {
event.value = event.value + (".");
} // not null and end last character not ".";
// custom format or validation script

Scrolling in a text entry field

I'm a newbie to ios, so bear with me. I was an Android power user for many years and recently decided to give ios a try.
I've got a simple question. When entering text in a field (say a user name to log into a site) if the text you've entered is too long to display all at once (like the first few letters get cutoff as you're typing) there is no way to scroll back to the beginning of the word. I like to spell check my entries sometimes and I've got no way to scroll back to the beginning of the word.
Here's an example. Open safari. Start typing in the URL box. Keep typing. Try to scroll back to the beginning of your entry and you can't.
Is this possible? Am I an idiot? :-p
I'm running 8.1 on a 5s.

Figured it out. Press and hold. duh

Errors: Length for text entry field must be between 1 and 32

Hi Guys,
I have has the following error messgage when defining and using a text variable in a series of columns in a characteristic structure. In addition the text display does not work for 1 specific calculated key figure, It just displays the name of the text variable. Where ever this type of calculation is used I get the text variable tecnical name displayed!
i.e &0T_FPER& -2 % on LY where calc =
'&0T_FPER& -2 Actual'/'&0T_FPER& -2 Last Year' -1) * 100
There is a calc KF as above for -1 % on LY, and LY
Why do i get the above error message and how can I get the text variable to display for the this Calc Key Figure?
Thanks
DV

Hi Depesh,
I had the same issue and I solved it by moving the rest of the text beside the Text Variable to the next line. I.e.,
&0T_FPER&
-2 %
To do this just go to the end of the text variable and click enter.
Hope this helps.

I cannot paste into a text entry field

Nothing happens when you press the middle button into the field '''Current Email Address''' [https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/448/wo/tHYvhW3BIeBjWs8p62z0n0/0.2.11.4.1.1.3.3.17.5 Find your Apple ID] even if the field has keyboard focus. You can paste into the field '''Last Name''' but not into '''Current Email Address'''.
Workaround: use a clipboard manager to copy the selection into the Clipboard and use the Paste command.

FWIW, http://docs.jivesoftware.com/jive_sbs/5.0/index.jsp when looking up supported browsers outlines the following:
Jive works with most current web browsers.
Note that if you need to use Content Editor features such as cut and paste, script access to the Clipboard should not be disabled.
Minimum screen resolution: 1024 x 768. Results may vary if you use zoom to adjust your view to levels other than 100%.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, 8, and 9 Note: For Internet Explorer 8 and higher, compatibility mode with earlier versions is not supported
Apple Safari 4 and 5 (on Macs only)

Yellow boxes behind all caps text

I had a Quark 6 Mac file converted to ID CS3 Win using Q2ID and when I opened it I replaced the fonts with our own, however wherever the text had the all caps feature used in Quark (I guess) there are yellow boxes behind the letters. I can get rid of them only by selected the text and clicking off the All caps (TT button).
Is there another easier way to keep them as all caps and get rid of yellow boxes?

You have highlight substituted glyphs enabled in your composition

Text Entry Box not displaying

Hello,
I apologize if this has been answered prior, but I've searched and couldn't find a solution (although I might just be terrible at searching).
Whenever I do a software simulation recording in a particular Captivate project (I'm running 5.5), the recording doesn't seem to auto-insert the TEB's for the text fields I've used (at all). Instead, when the slide that's suppoesed to require text-entry is shown, it just auto-fills all the text I entered during the simulation and skips to the end of the slide. I can't for the life of me figure out why; there are no TEB's on the timeline either for that slide.
I do have my Custom settings setup to "Automatically Add Text Entry Boxes for Text Fields"
Any idea why this is happening?

Hi there
Unfortunately there are a few variables in this equation. Captivate may not understand that a text entry field is a text entry field. It sometimes misunderstands other controls it encounters. I believe that it largely depends on how the application developer elected to name the element. I believe that's how Captivate knows what an element is. By its name. So if an application developer created a Text Entry field but named it something obscure, Captivate fails to recognize it as such and insert the appropriate element.
The good news here is that you are free to add any element you like after you have recorded. So even though Captivate failed to catch it, there's nothing preventing you from manually adding it. It's a hassle to have to do it, but at least you aren't prevented from doing it.
Cheers... Rick

How to hide the cursor in text entry boxes

I didn't see this answer in the forum, and it took a while to figure this out so I thought I'd post my
solution.
The issue is that a question requires that the user know where to click before typing, then type the correct value.
The problem is that a text entry field shows the cursor; a dead give-away as to where the user is supposed to type.
My solution is:
1) Hide the text entry box (give it a name and uncheck 'Visible' in the options).
2) Add a transparent button (with default text if needed) over the area where the user must click.
- Set the 'Success' option to 'Show', and make the 'Show' item the name of your text entry box.
- Disable all captions (unless they get points for clicking in the right place).
3) Set the object timing so the button displays until clicked, then end the button display. Start the display of the text entry field immediately after the end of the button display.
The effect is that the user clicks the correct area, then the cursor displays in the correct location, ready for the text entry.

Brilliant!
You get a gold star for this idea. Very original thinking.
