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.

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

Php/mysql all caps

I have a php mysql insert record application built in
dreamweaver. Is there a way to force or convert all inputted text
to all caps? I tried a style sheet text transform, but that doesn't
make the actual entry into the database all caps. Thanks.

Admittedly though, that's pretty easy too.

Removing pre filled responses in text field

New to livecycle and I am creating a new form and have been simultaneously testing it. When i am entering information in a text field all of the information I have entering pre populates and I'm worried the end user will see this. I cant seem to remove this and ots vey distracting. How do I clear this?

Hi,
Can you describe further what do you mean by prepopulates when you enter info? Do you mean an auto-completion like pre-population? Or does the field get prepopulated BEFORE you key in any values in the text field? Or do you mean the text field ignores what is being typed in, and pre-populates with a default value?
Regards,
Ber

Need help displaying data in text field... Help?

i have this code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=ScottMitchell"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
    processData(e.target.data);
function processData(data:String):void {
    var tweets:Array = JSON.decode(data) as Array;
    trace(tweets[0].text);
It works, in the output it tells me the tweets.
but i need it to be displyed on the app, i need to no how to do this, someone pointed me in the direction of using a item renderer extended from sprite?
But really all i need to do is display it in a text field, all i want to do is display the data.
Can anyone help???
I know this is probably simple and i did try to figure this out on my own, but had no luck.
All help is appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

you can always use an array if there's no pattern to your positions:
var positionA:Array=[ [100,20], [2,222], [55,2], [201,111], [78,23] ];
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=ScottMitchell"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
    processData(e.target.data);
function processData(data:String):void {
    var tweets:Array = JSON.decode(data) as Array;
for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++){
var tf:TextField=new TextField();
addChild(tf);
tf.multiline=true;
tf.width=300;
tf.text =   tweets[i].text;
tf.autoSize="left";
tf.x=positionA[i][0];
tf.y=positionA[i][1];
nextY+=tf.height;

Invisible Text Fields/Print Button error

Ok, so I'm creating a blank form for users to input data fields and then print them out on a pre-made paper form. I started out using Adobe Designer 7.0.
While I was using 7.0, I made all of the Text Fields, and spent hours lining them up to print out correctly in their corresponding boxes on the pre-made paper form that we load into the printer. (Already tried scanning the form and creating a form that way, but the scanner is weird and scales everything incorrectly.)
I upgraded to Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES today so that I could make Text visible on the form, but not visible when it prints, so that I can label each Text Field, otherwise it's just a blank template with random Text Fields all over.
Well, after upgrading, I created the Texts prompts above each Text Field and I selected Visible (screen-only) for each one of them, hoping that once I printed the form out, those texts prompts won't print out on the pre-made paper form. But, to my dismay, they printed out even though I selected the option for them to NOT print out.
So I was doing some reading and decided to add a "print button" to my form. I added the print button. Made it visible (screen-only). Printed out another form, and BAM. All of the hours I spent lining up those Text Fields went to waste because all of a sudden my Text Fields are all over the paper. I immediately removed the print button, assuming that was the problem, but for some reason my text fields are still all over the paper.
I don't want to spend the hours and hours I spent lining them up again. It just took too long. Does anyone know what happened here? If so, how do I fix it?
Also, how do I make it so that the Text prompts I created do NOT print when I print out the form?
I'm sure this is all an easy fix for you experienced ones. I'm a noob... obviously...

Thank you for the help, but I'm still not really sure what I should be doing here. I went to form properties, but didn't see any kind of settings that would fix what I'm having problems with. I'm using Adobe Designer ES 8.2.1 now, but for some reason when I make my text Visible (screen-only), it still prints out when I click print. This shouldn't happen and I can't figure out what's wrong. I've reasearched all I can, but can not find a solution.

Problems with Motion5 accented letters in all caps

Hi,
I am having problems with text in all caps when the text contains accented letters (éèàù) they are not rendered as accented caps but in their original format.
It is funny because some smaller programs less professional like iWork handle that fine?
Any suggestions?

Text format to Caps - Project Siena

Hey there,
Need to format user input text to all caps, is there anyway to do it in Project siena?
If anyone can help me on this, would be helpful,
Thanks in advance :)

Use the Upper function.
For example, if you want to collect the text front Text1, you could use:
Collect(Collection1, {MyValue: Text1!Text})
If you want the all caps version, use:
Collect(Collection1, {MyValue: Upper(Text1!Text)})
A list of all Siena functions can be found at the link below.

All caps in text field

Hi,
How can I adjust text field in a form, Name for example, so that all typed letters are capital, no matter how I type them. My browser is Mozilla Firefox, and I use Oracle Database XE 10g. Please, help me if you can.

A very nice and clear example as always, Denes.
As an alternative, you can just put the following in the HTML Form element attributes for any item you automatically want to uppercase:
onChange="this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();"It means you don't need to define a javascript function anywhere else and can use the exact same bit of code regardless of the specific item you are adding this functionality to.
I tend to use onChange as opposed to onKeyUp because of the following behaviour I noticed when you do it with the onKeyUp event:
If you type a string (such as "wesday") then realise you've mispelled it, so use the mouse to move your cursor back to just after the "e" to add the required "dne" and then start typing, as soon as you type the first character the cursor will be moved to the end of the word so you'll end up typing wedsdayne

My calculation "Total" box adds sum of all text fields whether they are visible or not, do I change

I have check boxes that show and hide text fields. (Thanks to Gilads Java script). In options I have a default value for each text field.
My "Total" Field field adds all fields even if they are not checked and visible. Need to have it only include them if they are checked and visible.

You can't attach forms by email, or any other means, so it didn't come through.
Since your fields have default values and aren't calculated based on the state of the corresponding check box, you will have to use a custom calculation script for the Total field that can check to see if any of the fields are hidden, and if so, don't include their values in the sum. For example:
// Custom calculation script
(function () {
    // Set up an array of field names to include in the total
    var aFields = ["text1", "text2", "text3", text4"];
    // Initialize variables
    var i, f, sum = 0;
    // Loop through the fields an calculate the sum
    for (i = 0; i < aFields.length; i += 1) {
        // Get the current field
        f = getField(aFields[i]);
        // Add the value of the current field to the sum if the field is visible
        if (f.display == display.visible) {
            sum += +f.value;
    // Set this field value to the sum
    event.value = sum;

How can I get the Cover Flow text to be in all caps

I've only had one problem with the Cover Flow application for iTunes. All of my track names, artists, and album names are in caps on my library. When I switch to the Cover Flow view some songs are displayed with all caps, while others have the song and album in caps, but the artist is in lower case.
I've gone through all of my files and all of them have been correctly entered in all caps, yet Cover Flow still does not display them correctly. I've even gone through every album, got info, and made sure everything was in all caps. Still no succcess.
Any suggestions?
How about creating an option button to control Cover Flow's functioning on the next iTunes version? That would be nice.

Thanks, jere7my.
In other words, I should always make changes to my song text with the Cover Flow view selected.
I would never have the Cover Flow view selected while importing new albums, tracks, and artwork. I switched back to it after I was done personalizing my stuff. Thats when I started to notice they were still in lower case, even though I had changed them.

Printing all text in a multi-line text field?? Can it be done?

I was wondering if there is a way to print out a multi-line field and have all text entered print as well. Currently, anytime someone enters more information in a multi-line text field on our form than is set to show without scrolling, when a PDF is created for printing from the results page, only the text that fits within the specified size prints. You can scroll within the PDF and read it all, but I can't seem to figure out how to get all of the text to show and have that field resize accordingly on the printed copy.
Is there a way? Thanks.

Is there an easy way to determine the character count that is visible in a given multi-line text field when designing the form, so if I want to allow 500 characters, the text box I create is large enough for 500 characters? Obviously I can just do a trial and error process using a cut and paste of 500 characters and testing it, but is there an easier way?

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

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.

Hello All. I am working on a form, but I need to format the leading in a multi-line text-field.

Hello All. I am working on a form, but I need to format the leading in a multi-line text-field. The options for the text-field only show a font size option, but no other styling options. Is there a way to format the leading? Thanks!

Not within ID, and I'm not sure it can be done in Acrobat afterward either.
