Text field: First character too close to the margin

Hi there,
I created a form with entry fields. When the user fills in the fields, the first charcater is always too close to the left margin - so that for example it is difficult to distinguish a "3" from an "8" (see attachment).
How can I change that?
Thanks a lot
HeikeK

That's it, thanks a lot! I'd never found that on my own. I thought it was some property of the field, never thought of the paragraph format.
Thanks again.

In a Quiz the Correct Answer Buttons are too close to the answer letter. How to give more space?

When creating a quiz and previewing, the Buttons to select the correct answer are too close to the letter for the answer. How do I add space between them. Suggestions?

I think what you mean is that the quiz question's Failure action doesn't trigger until the final attempt and that would never happen if attempts is set to Infinite. So if you were only incrementing the variable when the quiz question registered final failure then you'd only get one crack at incrementing the variable. yes. My bad.
However, if you are using Multiple Choice questions, you can also trigger actions using the Advanced Answer Option. This will trigger an action when a particular answer is selected. So if you set this for each incorrect answer, you could increment the variable each time they select the wrong answer.
You can also use this same Advanced Answer action to execute a conditional action that first checks the value of the variable and then shows the rollover caption or increments the variable as needed.
Say you create a variable called WrongAnswer and initialise it with a value of 0. Then you create a Conditional Action called CheckWrongAnswer that looks like this:
If WrongAnswer is equal to 1 assign Wrong Answer with 2, (then on the next line) Show RolloverCaption, ELSE assign Wrong Answer with 1.
This shows the rollover caption after the second attempt resulting in an incorrect answer.

Invalid text value. A text field contains invalid data. Check the value and try again

Hello,
I am having a problem with the error mentioned in the title. I see alot of others have experienced the same problem, but I have quite a twist to it.
I see the problem when I try to edit a list item, and then try to save the changes.
Here what I see in the ULS log:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Invalid text value. A text field contains invalid data. Check the value and try again
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.AddOrUpdateItem(String bstrUrl, String bstrListName, Boolean bAdd, Boolean bSystemUpdate, Boolean bPreserveItemVersion, Boolean bUpdateNoVersion, Int32& plID, String& pbstrGuid, Guid pbstrNewDocId,

I have 3 front end servers(fx wfe1, wfe2, wfe3). And here is the twist.
If I access the library directly through wfe1 and wfe2, I get the error. If I access the library via wfe3 if works just fine.
So because of this, I think it is safe to assume that is has nothing to do with the character limit of 255. Nor does it have anything to do with the field type, since it is already set to mulitible lines of text.
So. Any ideas?
Regards,
Michael

To solve the problem you may have to change the field's parent type to "note". To do that you have to open your fldtypes... file under Templates/xml and change the line to:
"<Field Name="ParentType">Note</Field>" from "<Field Name="ParentType">Text</Field>"
You might also have to add a sql type if your text needs to be longer than 255 characters
<Field Name=”SQLType”>ntext</Field>
and inherit from SPFieldMultiLineText instead of SPFieldText

Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
Thanks

How to disable certain text fields in second tab based on the drop down selection from first tab?

My first tab contains a drop down menu which has two options
1. Personal info
2. Office info
The second tab contains all the information regarding Office and Personal Information. But I need to selectively disable certain fields based on the drop down in first tab.
For example,
The second tab consissts of all fields like
Name,
Age
Job title,
Office Location, etc.
And i dont want office related details to be displayed if I am selecting personal info in the first tab.
It would be really great if someone could send me the code for achieving this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vishnu
Can you check the List component in foundation/components ? I think "Build list using" works he same as your requirement. Check the listener they have used in dialog/items/list/items/ listFrom/listeners
"selectionchanged" : function(box,value){box.findParentByType('tabpanel').manageTabs(value);}
here the ExtJs will find the tabpanel with value you are selecting fromdropdown. The title of each panel should match with the dropdown values
Some queries
Disable values means you have to remove it from your CRX?
"values should become mandatory". for tab2? or tab3? - if tab2 and if it is a customized widget then u have to write it in your js only i think.
Thanks

TestStand database logging problem: only the first character is put in the table.

I am using TestStand 2.0.1 and Microsoft SQL server database. There is a weird problem when I use database logging. At first, all the database logging ran good.
Then one day after I moved the test equipment to production line, TestStand only logs the first character of each string field in the tables! There is no error message.
I setup another SQL server running locally on the same machine as the TestStand is and move the database to the local server, database logging has no problem. Schemas in TestStand Dabasebase Options are the same.
I tried to run TestStand from another computer on the network. There was no problem before, too. But now, TestStand always shows a Run-time error message like this:
Details:
An exception occurred calling 'LogResults' in 'ITSDBLog' of 'DBLog 1.0 Type Library'
An error occurred executing a statement.
Schema: New.
Statement: STEP_RESULT.
Connection failureMultiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
Source: TSDBLog
Error Code:
-2147467259; User-defined error code.
Location:
Step 'Log Results to Database' of sequence 'Log To Database' in 'Database.seq'
I have checked that the connection is good and also the table UUT_RESULT has been logged correctly.
Anyone can help?
Thanks.

Thank you very much, Santiago.
Yes, I have a customized schema, but it is based on the pre-existing schema. I tried the schema:TS 1.x Access/SQL (NI), which came with TestStand, the results were the same.
I have tried to run different sequences. On one computer, I always get only the first character of each string entry logged in the remote database, however for the local server, everything is fine. On the other computer, there is no local SQL server, I always get similar error message as I mentioned in my post. The sequence step reports error is "Log Results to Database".
Any more suggestion?
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Jaso

Populate one text field on a form based on the value in another

I am new to APEX and building my first application.
When a user enters a value in one field, I would like to run a SQL command and then display a value in another field based on the value in the first field. For instance, if a user enters a part number in one field, when they tab off of the field, I would like to display the name of the part in the part name field.
Thanks

Thanks. That put me on the right track. I used that link to find the link http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11:2890374750690437 and then using the two was able to put together a solution.
I am down to one last issue. I am able to return the name back from the process and display it with an alert statement. Unfortunately, I am unable to display the value on the form.
I am doing the following.
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function f_getCustomerName(id)
var v_id = id;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getCustomerName',$v('pFlowStepId'));
get.addParam('x01',$v('P2_CUSTOMER_ID'));
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
gReturn = (!gReturn)?'null':gReturn;
/* The below do not work
$s('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME',gReturn);
document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value = gReturn;
document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value = 'TEST';
alert(document.getElementById('P2_CUSTOMER_NAME').value );
alert(gReturn);
//-->
</script>
Process: getCustomerName
declare
l_customer_id customer.customer_id%type;
l_customer_name customer.customer_name%type;
begin
l_customer_id := to_number(wwv_flow.g_x01);
select customer_name
into l_customer_name
from customer
where customer_id = l_customer_id;
htp.p(l_customer_name);
end;

How can a variable display the first character that's on the page?

I'm creating a telephone directory and want each page to display the alphabet of the first listing on the page on the top - only one character.
Can you tell me how to do this?

Hmmmmm, seems I was wrong about the GREP styles. I just tried it and they don't get picked up. I consider that a bug, but it's probably "as designed."
That leaves you having to work with nested styles only, or Find/Change. I think what you'll need to do is redefine the Paragraph style so it has two nested styles that apply the correct style to whatever needs to be styled at the start of the paragraph, one for the first character and the second for the rest of the word(s) if you can figure out a trigger (can InData add an end nested style character or is thew some punctuation you can use?), then find/change to remove the applied character style. For that I'd serach for ^.+ with the find format set to the character style that InData applied and the chane format set to [None], which will only remove it from the beginning of your paragraphs. If this is done correctly there will be no change in appearance since the redefined paragraph style will do the formatting.
If that won't work, you can use find/change to apply a new style to the first characters. Search for ^. and set the change format to the new character style that you'll use in the variable. It needs to have the same attributes as the style applied by InData or the appearance will change.
The second method is probably easier since you don't need to redfine the paragraph style, but both methods require you to use find/change to alter the text, which means if more text is added you'll need to re-do the find/change. Not a big deal, but don't forget. I'd be tempted to wait until the last minute and just ignore the headers for the moment, if editing is ongoing. I'd also test this on a copy of the file for safety.

Drop down lists populating text fields on a page different from the dropdown.

Hello all,
I have a form with several pages. The first page contains a number of drop down lists. These drop down lists, when an option is chosen, is to populate a text field on another page. I can get the drop down list to populate the text field when it is on the same page, but as soon as I move the text field to another page, the script doesn't work. Can anyone offer a solution? I've used javascript on change for the scripts.

Thanks Paul,
I have been able to solve the drop down list question, thanks to your help.
I have another question that involves locking specific fields in a four page form which contains approximately 100 fields that need to be locked before the end user completes the remaining fields. How do I lock individual subforms so that the remaining fields remain open and editable? The final version of the form, will have at least 200 fields in it that will also need to be locked in sections.
I can lock all the fields using the lock all fields button, but have been unable to make it work for just part of the form.
I've emailed the draft form. It would be really helpful if I had one example of a locked subform on the form I'm struggling with.
Thanks for your help.

How do I create a text field that can be manipulated by the user?

I have created a form that will be changed by the user from month to month. In this form they may have the need to make some of the font bold.
The text fields that will end up being bold will not be the same every time so I can't format the field to be bold.
Is there any way to allow the user to be able to choose whether a text field is bold or not?
Thanks,
T_Sands

Thanks GKaiseril. When I do that and go to preview the form I see where the properties are listed as an option, but they are in light gray so I can't select them. Any idea why this is happening?

How can I stop URL from loading when I paste it into a page without selecting a text field first?

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Text field with promp msg only when the field is empty

I want to make a TextField with prompt message but The problem with google code was that the prompt msg is shown only when The textField is not clicked, I want to show the prompt msg even when the text field is clicked,when I type a letter inside the textField it vanishes and when i delete all of it, I'll see the prompt msg again and I want to Load the cursur at the text field when the page is loaded, How can I achieve that?

Not working!
One new problem I have confronted, I have edited the htm file with the previously mentioned code, yet, when i started flex again, the code was not there?
Is it a derived file?
If so how can I make permanent changes there?
i used the code:
private function onLoad(event:Event):void
focusManager.setFocus(this.textId);
As using
private function onLoad(event:Event):void
shows the red cross i.e. error at a particular step at the
<mx:Application.......
and the error shows as
Incorrect numbers of arguments. Expected 1.
I guess its a very simple problem yet I don't know why I am getting so complex.
I have faced certainly a nice problem, it sometimes works and sometimes doesnt,
when I run from the flex bulider it works, If I click on the html file it doesn't.. It may happen it wont work again in future.

Incoming outdoor FIOS line/cable - needs remounting/hanging - too close to the lawn

My incoming outdoor FIOS line/cable is very close to the backyard lawn - about 4 ft above the ground. It needs remounting/hanging. I just need Verizon to send someone to fix this problem but its Website is not user friendly to submit such a request. It asks me to go thru a series of unrelated self asked auto answered questions but still does not bring me to what I want. Is there a direct and quick way to file a service request?

That is a GO-95 violation. All wiring must be 8 feet above ground. This is a PUC violation. Call Verizon back and ask to talk with the PUC rep within Verizon near your closest Business Office. Sounds like a contractor may have done it and not an actual Verizon Employee......
