Triggering a JavaScript from a field

Hello!
I created a form where there are three fields, VALUE1, VALUE2 and TOTAL.
Using FormCalc, I calculate TOTAL this way:
form1.#subform[0].total::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
valor1 + valor2
It works....
Now, I'd like to do the very same thing using JavaScript, but it doesn't work. Why?
Can I have both FormCalc and JavaScript working in the same form?
Thank you for any hints!
Marcos

Yes you can have Javascript and FormCalc on the same form but not in the same event.
Your formula in javascript woudl be:
this.rawValue = valor1.rawValue + valor2.rawValue

Field with a default value from another field

I need to populate a field as the default value from another field that the user inputs. I've tried the scripting that I found from the below Topic in the Archived Forums, but I'm not able to make it work. I've tried numerous variations and still to no avail. I tried to make the scripting work in Acrobat 6 and then decided that maybe I needed to upgrade, so I'm now trying it in Acrobat 8 with no results. Can anyone help?

Acrobat 5 - field with default value of another field
Ben PF - 03:31am Mar 23, 2007 Pacific
How can I have a field date2 which has the default value of field date1, but which can be edited by the user if necessary without changing the value of date1.
I've tried, but I just can't figure it out!
Any help much appreciated.

This, or some variation of this, should work:
if(this.getField("date2").value == ""{
this.getField("date2").value = this.getField("date1).value;

Thanks very much.
I put it in at document level to start, but it didn't run the script automatically when date1 was first filled in, so I have put it in as a mouse exit action in date1 and it works a treat.
Thanks for your help.
Ben

Okay forget what I posted above and lets start over. Go to your first field and under Properties -> Actions Tab -> Select Trigger -> On Blur Run A JavaScript.
Put this:
this.getField("myField2").value = event.target.value;
Make sure that you replace ("myField2") with the actual name of your second field. I just tested this and it works for Acrobat version 6.
I haven't been doing as much javascripting as I used to, so sometimes I too make some basic mistakes.

Transfer the response data from response field of a webservice.

Hi Experts,
I am working on Consuming the webservice in the Adobe Form,
My requirement is like i have to populate different set of fields from the responses i get from the webservice, based on the click of different buttons.
Say i have to populate Fields f1 & f2, if Button B1 is pressed, and f3 & f4 if Button B2 is pressed.
Hope i have made my requirement till now.
Now i have written the script to shift the data from the fields generated from WebService to the fields where i actually require the data i.e. f1 & f2 in the above case at teh "validate" event of the response fields from webservice.
but it always gives me some popup stating this field's validate failed, which should not be there.
So, any help from you that give me a solution that shifts the data immediately on the population of response fields wihout a popup, would be helpful and highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amita

Hi,
Consider that you have three fields "f1", "f2", "f3" and want to populate the data in the fields "f2" and "f3" based on the value entered in the field "f1" through webservice.
So write the JavaScript Coding in the "Change" Event of the field "f1" for eg.
     var cURL = 'http://webservice';
     var service = SOAP.connect(cURL);
     xfa.connectionSet.DataConnectionName.execute(0);
and there itself after the above script write the other validations for fields "f2" and "f3" and populate the values to the respective fields.
For Binding to the respective fields: go to the field object pallete and in binding tab define the binding of webservice in the "Import/Export" binding at the Last.
And if you want to do any validations for the fields "f2" and "f3" then define two more fields like "hiddenf2" and "hiddenf3" and do make the presence of these fields to hidden and do specify the binding of webservice and after the JavaScript WebService call populate do the required validations and after that populate the values to the respective fields.

Adobe Livecycle: Save as Filename from Form Field Assistance

I have Livecycle E2 and Adobe 9.0. I am trying to have a pdf save in a desired location with a filename that originates from a field form. So far, I have created a folder level script under C/programfiles/adobe/acrobat 9.0/acrobat/javascript/xxxxxxx.js. Inside the .js folder level I have this so far:
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc, path)
     app.beginPriv();
         doc.saveAs(path);
     app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc, file_path)
     // Privileged and/or non-privileged code above
     app.beginPriv();
          mySaveAs(doc, file_path);
     app.endPriv();
Also, I created a button on my pdf with a text field named "NAME". I ran a javascript with mouseUp on the button with this code:
// Get the field value
var fn = getField("NAME").valueAsString;
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/testing/";
// Determine the full path
var fp = fldr + fn + ".pdf";
// Save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
For some reason, the file does not save at all in that location after typing in some text in the name field and hitting the button. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Changing all list entires from another field

So Im working on a new form and I need to move my data around. The attached PDF is windjacks tut that works great but I cant figure out how to get it to work with what Im doing. I have been trying to piece together all the javascript from this and other tutorials and havent had much luck.
All the drop downs effect the next from left to right. So looking at the bottom row that I put in Row.AssemblySelect will fill in new data into Row3.PartSelect. When Row3PartSelect data is selected new data will fill Row3PackageSelect. I tried to make this work with a new SetPackageEntries(); command modeled off the SetPartEntries(); with some varable changes but I couldnt get it to work. Then, finally, after making a selection in Row3PackageSelect data needs to be distrubred to 6 or more different cells that you can see under the Row3.Price.

Remove red border from required fields

Is there a way to remove the red border from required fields.?

No, not the same error message that Acrobat issues. You'll have to do your own using JavaScript. The script would check each of the required fields and alert the user if anything was wrong, but you'd have to set up your own "Print" button on the form and convince your users to use it. But they can always choose not to use it and orint without going through the checking process.
Even though there is a Document Will Print event that you can attach code to, there is no way to prevent printing in the event.

How do I use pots on my client machine to change values, from the field, on my server machine and all other client machines?

I am using Lookout 4.5, build 12, and I am having a problem concerning pots. I have data tables created for the different size sewer stations my system monitors. For each station, there are setpoints for starting and stopping of the pumps. I want to be able to change the setpoints for a station on the client file using a pot and have it change on all other machines running Lookout. I did this in 3.8 using DDE, but I don't want to use DDE anymore.
I created a pot on the client file and URL'ed it to a pot on the server. On the server I created a table with a generic member "A" named "Lead Setp" and then created a member "A1" named
"C5_1LeadSetp" then a member "A2" named "C3_1LeadSetp" and so on....
In this table I connected the generic member "A" to the Pot I created on the server, and I connected A1 to its corresponding setpoint signal coming in from the field.
On the client file I connected (in the table similar to the one on the server but with all signals for the station) the "A1" member to the setpoint signal coming in from the field, and I connected the "A" member to the Pot I created on the client file which is URL'ed to the pot on the server file.
But, when I change the value of the pot on the client file, only the pot on the server and the "A" member in the table on the server change to the value of the pot on the client. The "A1" member whose screen I am changing the values from on the client does not change! This is the last thing I have to do and my file will be completely converted to 4.0. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for any responses..

Jason Phillips

Hi Jason,
If I understood your task correctly, you want to change the Setpoints on the Server DataTable using Pots from different clients. And also reflect these changes on the clients locally.
You correctly remoted the Pots on the Clients to the corresponding Pots on the Server. However, you do not need tables on your clients. All you need is Expressions on each client to the particular cell of the Clients.
So, to summarize: On the Server, the Pots write to the DataTable. And since the Pots on the Clients are remoted to these Pots on the Server, you can affect any change using these Pots. Because of the common remote source (Server Pots, i.e.) all of these Pots will always be in sync. Finally, to get the Setpoints on the Clients, just insert Expressio
ns to the Server's DataTable.
I am attaching a simple example (exmpl.zip) which does this. There are three processes -- My_Server, My_Client1, and My_Client2. I had them setup on the same machine so the paths are all process relative, but you can always change those to computer relative or absolute and move the client processes to diff machines.
Hope this helps.
Rgds,
Khalid

How to view "From" header field in OUTgoing messages in Mail? Frustrating.

In Mail v.4.3 (in OSX 10.6.4), I need to view the "From" field in my outgoing messages as I am composing them. However, there seems to be no setting in Mail which allow this.
I find this very frustrating because in Eudora (which I used to use), the "From" field in outgoing messages is visible by default. But in Mail, not only is it not visible by default, there seems to be no way to make it visible.
In the "Customize..." button to the left of the Subject field in outgoing messages, one has the option to add as default outgoing message fields "cc," "bcc," "Reply-To," and "Subject," but none of those are what I want. It allows one to also view the address of the mail server, but that also is not what I'm looking for. What I want is to see my outgoing +email address+. And nowhere is there an option in the Preferences to turn this on. (At least as far as I could tell.)
In fact, the only way to see the identity in the outgoing "From" field is to go to Preferences, then click on Accounts, and look there; or send oneself a test email. Both of which are a hassle and should be unnecessary.
In case you're curious as to why I want to see my outgoing "From" header field:
I have several different "personas" online, each of which uses a different email address: My work address (with a work-related domain); my family/personal address (with a different email address than my work address); an online avatar I use in various gaming sites (also with its own address, since I don't want to use my personal name/address in the gaming community); and so on. However, I have all incoming emails to all accounts auto-forwarded to the same central email account. Most of the time I'm just replying to business emails, so my outgoing "Full Name" and "Email Address" (in Preferences>Accounts) are generally set to my business name and address; but on occasion when I want to reply to a non-business email and not have the recipient see my business email address, I go in to Preferences>Accounts and change "Full Name" and "Email Address" (i.e. what is displayed to the user) to something different. And when I'm done with that, I change it back to my business address.
However, sometimes I forget if I've changed it back or not, or forget what I've changed it to. In Eudora, All one needed to one was create a new outgoing email and it would display the "From" field so I could instantly see my outgoing identity. But in Mail, there is no "From" field in outgoing emails, so I'm constantly nervous and wondering which outgoing identity I may have changed to and accidentally forgotten to change back from.
(Yes, yes, I know that if a recipient wanted to be snoopy, they could look at the "full headers" of any incoming email and see the name of my email server, which may different from my displayed email address; but we're not talking about spy-stuff here, I'm just trying to not confuse people and keep business separate from personal.)
So: is there any way for me to see the outgoing "From" field in the emails I send? Or am I condemned to constantly (and mostly unnecessarily) checking "Preferences>Accounts" to see what I have enetered there?

Thanks for replying.
What is the "compose window" to which you are both referring? I could find no reference to such a thing in the Mail menus or Help.
Do you mean the "Composing" pane in the Preferences? I don't see what either one of you is referring to there, but I did notice there something that could function as an awkward workaround: If I click on the "Automatically CC myself" box in Preferences>Composing, then when I start a new email, my email address is displayed in the "CC" field -- and luckily, Mail allows me to then delete my email address out of the CC field, so I don't have to spam myself with duplicate copies of all my emails. This way, I can at least briefly see what email address I'm using, before I delete it from the CC field. Pretty awkward and unnecessarily laborious, however -- still not a perfect solution.
Or, by "composing window," are you referring to an outgoing email? As I said in my original comment, I do see what Ernie called "a small box with lines and an arrow at the bottom left of the header box." This is what I had to say about it:
+"In the "Customize..." button to the left of the Subject field in outgoing messages, one has the option to add as default outgoing message fields "cc," "bcc," "Reply-To," and "Subject," but none of those are what I want. It allows one to also view the address of the mail server, but that also is not what I'm looking for. What I want is to see my outgoing email address. And nowhere is there an option in the Preferences to turn this on. (At least as far as I could tell.)"+
In other words, when Ernie says, "click the box beside From," I can't do that -- because there is no such option. That's the whole problem in the first place. If there was a "From" field beside which I could click a box to make it appear, I would have done so! But there is no "From" field in the "Customize" section of the "small box with lines and an arrow at the bottom left of the header box."
I find it completely mystifying that both of you seem to be able to see a "From" field available to be added to the header of outgoing emails, yet no such option is available to me in Mail. What possibly could be causing this? 10.6.4 is freshly installed on my machine, and Mail seems brand new and uncorrupted. And I'm using Mail 4.3, the latest version.
Are you saying that everyone else can see an option to have a "From" field in their outgoing messages, but I uniquely don't? Very very very strange.

Add data to table view from input fields in a page

Hi
        I am developing a BSP page which will be called from SRM shop transaction. After user enters the line item data, data will be passed back to shop transaction using OCI interface and the page attributes (URL).
   (1) How can I add data from input fields to table view on a page on a button click? I am able to add first line but I could not retain first line data when I try to add the second line.
      I am able to add multiple lines to table view if I use view and controller by adding to the line data to static attribute of the controller. I cant use the controller and view because I can not set the attribute to Controller automatically.
   (2) Is there a way to pass an attribute (URL) to controller from SPRO? Like we pass an attribute to page automatically (Automatic page attribute).
   (3) How can I call a controller and view and pass the page attribute to the controller on a button click from a page with out controller?
Thanks

How to extract data from the fields present in two or three tables

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where i have to extract data from the fields of different tables. e.g. let there 2 tables which have some number of fields . I want the data of 3 fields each from these 2 tables. How can i get that??
Sam

Hi
You can create view in tcode se11..
here you include all tables from which you want to fetch the data..
you need to give selection condition here
eg..
say select empname from table A, select empadd from table B.. where empno(from A)=empno(from B)
(note that you dont need to write queries like this.. i have just given u the example)
After creating the view you can create datasource in RSO2..

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query?
I am running a select statement on a table that appears to have ASCII text in some of the fields. If I use these fields in the where statement like the code below nothing returns:
SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FIELD1 IS NULL
But the field looks empty if I do a straight select without the where clause. Additionally, one of the fields has text but appears to be padded out with ASCII text, which I need to strip out before I can use this field in a where or join statement. I have tried using a trim, ltrim, rtrim, to_char, nvl, decode and nothing works. When I use excel to run the same query it looks as if these ASCII fields are boxes.
I have asked our DBA team to see what they can do to prevent these from going into the table, but in the mean time I still need to run this report.
Do you have any suggestions?

Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
'X') from dual" with no luck.
Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

How to retreive data from a field that contains a "|" symbol

Hi,
Hopefully my title won't confuse anyone .
Well I am trying to create a group which would display an employee name(s).
In my case, the value comes from a field which can contain multiple values separated by a "|" symbol. See picture below.
I am pretty sure I will have to write a formula for this but simply don't know where to begin or how to write it.
Table use in this example is "ProductionProjectGroups" and will be linking this table to the "Employees" table which will display the actual employee name.
Does anyone knows how to display data if there is a "|" symbol in the field?
If you request more info please let me know.
Thank you in advance for the help.

How to find out the table from the field.

Hi Friends,
I want to know the table name from the field.
I mean i know the field with which i want to know the table. I tried but could find the structure only but how can i find the table.
Please guide me.
siva.

Hi Sivakumar,
Using DD03L (in SE16, SQVI) you can list the tables & structures which contain the desired field.
(If it's a very common field [e.g. MATNR] you'll get a huge amount of hits...you can also use 'F1' + 'Technical information' [in the transacton you are] to get information on table & field as mentioned before)
