Text field spry validation over 2 table cells?

Hello,
This might be a real simple thing, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone please help?
I'm using DW CS3 and I'm building a contact form. I'm using DW's Spry validation for my text field. It's an email field. I'd like to put the label in one table cell and the input box in the adjacent cell. But I can't figure out how. I'm using the attach label using 'for' attribute.
Here is how DW writes the code:
 <tr>
 <td>
 
 <label for="email">Email</label>
 <input type="text" name="emaill" id="emaill" />
 Invalid format.
 </td>
 </tr>
As you can see, it's all in one cell.
I've tried massaging the code every which way but then the widget doesn't work.
Please help!
Thank you in advance!
Claudia

Spry Text Field Custom Validation Patern PHP

I am using PHP and I'm not sure but I believe I may be unable
to create a custom validation pattern. What I would like to do; is
create a user pattern that forces Alpha and Numeric characters
only, with no spaces for use in Spry Text Fields for User Names and
Passwords. Has anyone got any advice?

Sorry :) This was a case of RTFM. I have found what Ineeded
in the documentation. I have listed below what I was looking for,
just in case anyone else is looking for it. Not quite what I was
hoping for, but better than a slap in the face with a wet kipper.
"0"
Whole numbers between 0 and 9
"A"
Uppercase alphabetic characters
"a"
Lowercase alphabetic characters
"B"; "b"
Case-insensitive alphabetic characters
"X"
Uppercase alphanumeric characters
"x"
Lowercase alphanumeric characters
"Y"; "y"
Case-insensitive alphanumeric characters
Any character

Query a view w/data entered into a text field populated by 2 table fields

Hello, Looking for advise!!! I have a tabular canvas thats datablock uses a view to populate. In this canvas I have a text field that has been populated with first_name || ' ' || last_name in the database node of the property pallate column name. The text field is not in the table or view. I have created it in the data block and make it a database item. However, I would like to have the user push a search button to go into ENTER_QUERY mode then the user would enter the criteria to search on in this text field. The user would then push button to EXECUTE_QUERY. The result is I retrieve all records. I want any search criteria entered into this field to be used against the last_name field to retrieve any records equal to the search criteria entered, for example A%. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi!
You have to use PRE-QUERY trigger to compose the search criteria. Below I put an example of it. You have to have at least one item in the block wich is true database item (e.g. it has to exist in table or view on which your block is based). In the following example EMP_DESC is your non-database search item and EMP_ID is the database one.
Declare
Dummy VARCHAR2 (2000);
begin
if :EMP.EMP_DESC IS NOT NULL and :EMP.EMP_ID IS NULL
then
Dummy := '#IN (SELECT emp_id FROM Employees WHERE Upper (emp_first_name)||'' ''||Upper (emp_sec_name) LIKE Upper (''%'||:EMP.EMP_DESC||'%''))';
Copy (Dummy, 'EMP.EMP_ID');
end if;
end;
Thats it. Note the # sign in the first position of the Dummy assignment. This is required by forms to glue your search criteria and block's where clause. You may analize LAST_QUERY property of your block in order to understand how this work. Remember also to set the QUERY_LENGTH property of the EMP_DESC item to the value that could contain the whole Dummy string (otherwise it will give you an error and cut the mar the query).
Hope this helps.
Sergey.
P.S. And set your EMP_DESC database item property to NO.

How do I clear a form text field during validation using JavaScript?

I am just learning JavaScript and the Acrobat API. I have a form created in adobe acrobat 9 standard (starting from an existing form in MS Excel). There is a text field for a Social Security Number. I have a custom format script and keystroke script and a custom validation script. I would like to add to the existing validation script, that if what is entered doesn't match the validation test, then clear out the field as in erase all the characters that were typed into the field. I want this to happen no matter what. So even if someone filled in a valid SSN number and then moved to the next field, but then went back to the SSN field and decided to change their entry and this new entry was "invalid" then clear out the field (do not revert to what was typed in the field originally, even though it was considered valid by the script). (There is currently no default value for this field.) Thank you inadvance for you help on this.
Here is the current validation script:
// only run when field not blank
if (event.value != "")
// RegExp for validation #########
var re = /^(\d{3})(\d{2})(\d{4})$/
if(re.test(event.value) == false)
app.alert("Enter a 9-digit Social Security number with no spaces or special characters (e.g., 555555555). It will be converted to the format 555-55-5555.")
     //Here is where I've tried adding all of these lines, but none of them will clear out what is in the field
          //this.resetForm([event.target.name]);
          //event.target.value == "";
          //getField("SSN 1").value = getField("SSN 1").defaultValue;
          //getField("SSN 1").value == "";
          //event.rc = false;
And incase these are somehow affecting it, here are the other scripts being processed on this field:
Keystroke script:
var input=event.value;
var chars=input.length;
if( event.willCommit || chars==8 )this.getField("Name 1").setFocus();
Format script:
var re = /^(\d{3})(\d{2})(\d{4})$/
if(re.test(event.value) == true)
// add "-"
event.value = RegExp.$1 + "-" + RegExp.$2 + "-" + RegExp.$3;

Thank you very much. I did try that before, but I was using event.value == ""; I guess in this case I'm assigning the value of "", not making the value equal "".

Placing text beside image in a table cell?

I'm creating business cards (using a Printworks template), and I want to place text to the right of the inserted picture.
I've copied and pasted the jpg fine onto the left side of the cell, yet when I try to type text, the cursor only lets me begin typing at the bottom right side of the photo, not up at the top right side, where I want the info to start.
Further, when I try to insert a Text Box into the cell, it won't go inside.
So, my question: *How do I get image and text together inside a table cell?*

I made an ultimate test.
I grouped a jpeg picture and a shape in which I inserted a piece of text. You may see it on the screenshot.
I inserting the group in the cell hoping that the group will be correctly displayed.
Nada, only the picture appears.
If I select the object embedded in the cell, copy it, paste it in an other location, I may ungroup it but the now separated shape no longer contains the original text

Image instead of text in Spry validation?

Hi,
I have 2 questions concerning Spry implementation:
1. Instead of a long winded error text message in a textfield validation I just want to put a little image ( a picture tells a thousand words, they say!), like an "X" or in case the entry is valid, "Tick- or Check-mark". Is this possible?
2. I want to "Enforce" a certain "Format" for a "Date of Birth" entry which had to be numeric, "Year | Month | Day ". Somehow, both these options are grayed out in the textfield validation dialogue. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance..
zabberwan

Hi Gramps,
Sorry for this late response. I tried the method you pointed to, but it did not work properly, but I got to doing what I wanted to by changing the .css for the classes and also making a new class in the SpryValidationTextField.css etc.and then applying it in the source code among the span tags.
I have a new question, but will post it separately.

Populating multiple text fields from a database table...

I have a database table with several fields e.g. drawing_no, title, date_entered etc..I have a form that has the same fields. I want to be able to input a value into drawing_no field, and have it retrieve all the other values from the database - if they exist, or return blanks/nulls if it does not exit. I know how to do this for a single field, but not for retrieving multiple fields

Hi ,
You can create a before header page process and fetch all the fields from database, or you can take a look at in-built process Automated Row Fetch.
For e.g. lets say u have field1, field2, field3, field4 and field5 based on col1, col2, col3, col4, col5 from table tab1
Now create a page process of type PL-SQL and give a meaningful name to the process and accept the default as on Load Before header. In the "Enter PL/SQL Page Process" block enter a code similar to this one
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF :drawing_no IS NOT NULL THEN
SELECT col1, col2, col3, col4, col5 INTO :field1, :field2, :field3, :field4, :field5
FROM tab1 WHERE drawing_no = :drawing_no ;
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
END;The above block will fetch the records into input fields every time u refresh the page.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Manish

Need to add superscript for text field--HELP NEEDED.

Hi Friends,
Is there any way to implement superscript and subscript text in Crystal? For example, I would like to superscript the portion (1) of the following string:
"Buy(1) or Sell(1)"
The only way I have found to do this is to put the "235" in a separate text field that uses a smaller font size, and overlay it into the gap that I intentionally left in the larger text field. For display and printing purposes, this works OK, but if a report containing these strings is exported to Excel, the text fields are exported as separate cells, which makes the exported report look funny.
I can create this string in Word, then cut and paste it into a text field in Crystal (which initially seems to work), but as soon as I click off the field, all the characters in it are converted to the same font size.
If this can't be done in the current version of Crystal, are there any plans for it to be implemented in future versions?

hello all,
the text interpretation for html or rtf in fields will not render superscript or subscript. the basic rule is that whatever you can format directly in a crystal reports text object, that's what you can have interpreted.
look up "text interpretation html" in kbase for a full list.
one option is to turn html passthrough on the server in question if this is a huge deal for you...if you want instructions on how to turn html passthrough on, they are located in the webelements user guide at
http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/255
after doing so, you'd drop the database field into a formula and any html in the database field would be interpreted.

Text fields combining when PDF is saved and reopened

This has been a source of great frustration for not just me, but my coworkers working on the same documents. I individually create text fields in a spreadsheet/table format either initially in MS Word and converting to PDF, or create them in Acrobat while editing the document.
After I save the document and open it later to edit, the text fields are combined arbitrarily, usually close or touching fields are combined, such as parts of a column, but sometimes single letters from other fields get combined. At the same time, some other text fields will sometimes get split into individual rows.
Beyond looking messy when I want to edit these fields, the main problem i have in these cases is that whenever i try to edit these now combined text fields, the text and/or format of the field will get jumbled, thus making it impossible to edit.
Anyone else had this problem or know how to prevent it?

Hi - yes Iv'e tried in in several events inc 'Initialize' anbd 'Layout Ready', 'Doc Ready' - just cant seem to get it to work.
Here is the troublesome portion of the form, if you add some impact ratings the color will change, then save and close the form, reopen and the color formatting is lost

Data Service - only returning 256 chars on text field

Using FlashBuilder Data Services - PHP service all working fine.
Except the service is only returning the first 256 chars of a "text" field of my db table.
The field has more than 256 chars and is marked up via the RTE component
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">connection, "SELECT * FROM $this->tablename" );
etc....
Have tried a few conversions on the sql statement to no avail
select *, convert(text,data) as data from members
Any ideas on why this is happening - debugged in charles and its cut off in the response from ZEND/PHP so it in not Flex doing it
this one is killing me :-)

ok solved - kind of
phew - it's the generated service code it appears - not sure why it's working for some and not others! head scratching
this works

 $sql = "SELECT * FROM member_content";
 $result = mysql_query($sql) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());

this does not

PHP/MySQL: 'Add New' text field from menu in form

I am creating an events posting website. I'm having a hard time finding the right words to describe this, but: I'd like the user to select a venue from the drop menu, but then if it isn't there, to select 'add new' from the dynamic menu, and have a new text field activate where they can enter in the new venue name. My database is currently set up so the event table links to the venue table through a venueID. Is there a way to insert the name from the new text field into the venue table, and have the rest of the form still submit to the event table? Sorry this is so wordy, but I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

You cannot add a new value to a related table at the same time as inserting a record. So, to do this, you would need to use both JavaScript to add the new text field, and PHP conditional logic to handle the update to both tables. It's certainly doable, but not with the Dreamweaver server behaviors. You would need to do a lot of hand-coding yourself.
The way that I approached a similar problem in my "Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4" was to permit NULL values in the column that holds the foreign key, and insert nothing into that field if the value hadn't already been registered in the related table. I created a static value in the dynamic menu for "Not registered".
After inserting the new record with "not registered", the user then needs to enter the new value in the related table.
Once that has been done, display a page that lists all records. In the SQL, I use a LEFT JOIN to ensure that "not registered" items come up as well. You can then edit the item to add the value from the dynamic menu.
It's not the most elegant way to do it, but it works if you don't have the skill or time to hand-code all the logic yourself.

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.
