Trying to retrieve content from a text field & use it in a conditional statement

Hi Everyone,
I have a form with a text field and a button. The  text field is called "orderNo", and the button is called "genOrder".
Initially  the text field is empty, and clicking on the button fills the text  field with an appropriate order number.
I need to check the text  field for data (content) before writing the order number to it, this  way if an order number is already present in the text field it will not  be over written.
My intention is to use an if / else structure to  perform the testing, however I don't know how to retrieve the content  of the text field (if content is present!).
If anybody can  suggest how I can go about retrieving the content of the text field and  then use it in an if / else statement it will be greatly appreciated.
Kind  Regards,
Davo

  • Retrieving content from JavaScript created web tables?

    I am developing a simple Java program that is to browse a particular site, follow links and download web page content (which is created dynamically based on day and sports selected) from which data enclosed in <table>....</table> tags is later parsed and used in Excel spreadsheet for later analysis.
    The idea is to collect sports betting odds from Internet sportsbooks and of course such content is created dynamically based on day's offer of sports events!
    It can be done when the web tables are created dynamically with ASP or PHP as it basically just feed you the web page with all the data still enclosed in standard HTML tables tags.
    However there are quite a number of sites that use Javascript to create such dynamic tables. SO MY QUESTION IS: IS THERE A WAY TO GATHER SUCH JAVASCRIP CREATED WEB DATA IN JAVA?
    Thanks in advance!

    One more thing occured to me as a possible solution but I don't know if it can be done?
    Those particular JavaScript generated web pages that I'm trying to retrieve contents from display data in html tables created depending on the user input!
    Appart from zillion fancy design functions, those pages create a loooooong string which basically represents html <table>.....</table> structure and all the rows and cells are constructed by calling multiple JavaScript functions and filling those tables with variables contained in arrays located in several *.js files.
    So my idea is, CAN YOU CATCH THAT FINAL GENERATED HTML, that is used to view the web page in a browser?

  • Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

    Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
    TextField1.rawValue
    After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
    DropDownList1.clearItems()
    DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
    DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
    And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
    DropDownList3.clearItems()
    DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
    DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
    Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.

  • Trying to add a flowable/expandable text field to the end of a form

    I have created a form in LiveCycle Designer.  At the end of that form, I would like a Summary text box that expands to allow the person who is filling out the form to type as much information as is necessary and it will all be visible/print when they are done.  I have the field to the point where it will expand (finally!) but I have requested that the field allow page breaks (including all subforms it is contained within) but when it expands, it all carries over to the next page and doesn't allow us to go beyond one page of typing.  Is there anyway to remedy this situation so the text will actually "flow" from one page to another instead of just carrying it over?

    I appreciate you replying to my post and maybe this is just that I have never used the forum before but your reply said that you hoped the sample document would help me and I don't see a sample document attached to the reply.  Am I missing something?

  • Clear the content of a text field

    hello guys,
    i have text fields in a screen which are been populated in the PBO. Now i want to clear the content of the  text field such that the user can input new values in those text field.
    so, anyone knows how i can achieve this.
    tried,
    text field name = ' ', space.
    clear text field name.
    but none worked.
    thanks you for ur help.

    Hi,
    I think you have doen some thing like this in PBO.
    screen_field_name = 'some value'.
    So now in PAI you can do the following.
    CASE sy-ucomm.
         WHEN 'F_CLEAR'.    " Fcode for the clear button in the screen.
          CLEAR : field_name.
      ENDCASE.
    If the field is a mandatory field then you need to create a AT EXIT module and write the same code in that.
    Hope it helps you.
    Thanks,
    Sri.

  • Caml query to retrive keyword from rich text field

    hi friends
    i am using below caml query to retrieve data from title field and Rich text field(Definition)

    </And>
    </Where>
    <OrderBy><FieldRef Name=\'Title\' /></OrderBy>
    </Query>
    </View>
    this query is working fine. But it is retrieving some extra fields also which doesn't have the queried string. and even it is retrieving keyword from image urls which are present in rich text field. 
    Please help me to retrieve key word from plain text of rich text field.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use caml query to retrive keyword from rich text field
    By design, when specifying a ViewFields clause, values for these fields are returned, together with a few system columns like ID, Created and Modified.
    If you query rich text field, it will return the field with HTML tags.
    To retrieve key word from plain text of rich text field, you need to use regular expression to remove the HTML tags.
    You can use the code below:
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sitename"))
    using (SPWeb spWeb = site.OpenWeb())
    SPList spList = spWeb.Lists.TryGetList("ListName");
    SPQuery qry = new SPQuery();
    if (spList != null)
    qry.Query =
    @" <Where>
    <Contains>
    <FieldRef Name='Rich_x0020_Text' />
    <Value Type='Note'>caml</Value>
    </Contains>
    </Where>";
    qry.ViewFields = @"<FieldRef Name='Title' /><FieldRef Name='Rich_x0020_Text' />";
    SPListItemCollection listItems = spList.GetItems(qry);
    foreach (SPListItem item in listItems)
    string src = item["Rich_x0020_Text"].ToString();
    Regex htmlReg = new Regex(@"<[^>]+>", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
    src = htmlReg.Replace(src, string.Empty);
    Console.WriteLine(src);
    Console.ReadKey();
    The result is as below:

  • Script needed to print complete contents in scrolling text field Acrobat Pro 9 (MAC)

    I've seen this question several times in my search but no real solution. My client wants a form with text fields that only show 1-2 lines when viewed on-screen but are scrollable so that the user can input a lot of text. I had no problem creating that. The problem occurs when I try to print the form. Only the visible lines of text print and not the entire contents of the field. 
    Is there a Javascript that I can assign to a Print button in my form that can be assigned to the Mouse Down action that will make the entire field contents print? I even recreated the form in WORD so that when the user inputs text into the field, the contents of the form move down the page. My client didn't like that approach. I'm not a programmer and so I haven't been able to write my own script to handle the printing issue. I'm MAC based so using Livecycle isn't an option for me. Thanks!

    I'm using Acrobat Professional 9. I used to use Livecycle which was more flexible, but I no longer have a PC, only MAC and Adobe doesn't make Livecycle for the MAC. 
    The client doesn't want larger fields unfortunately. They have questions that require 2 or 3 pages of information to be entered into a small text field but they don't want large fields. If they're reviewing the answers online, it's fine - they can just scroll through the text fields and read the answers but they don't want the completed text fields to expand unless the form is printed.
    I've already set up my text fields to be multi-line and scrollable so that the client can review all of the text in the field if they are looking at the saved PDF online. The problem I'm having is that I need the entire contents of the text field to be visible ONLY when printed out. They don't want larger fields to show in the form. The client was quite specific about it. The form is also going to be used infrequently, so collecting the data and storing it on a server isn't something they're particularly interested in. The information is also confidential, so they do not want me to be collecting and storing the data and sending it back to them in another format. The easiest option I could see was to create a script tied to a PRINT button that printed out the complete text field.
    Thanks!

  • I'm trying to retrieve contacts from iCloud on my new samsung but it says that there is no back up data in my account

    I'm trying to retrieve contacts from iCloud on my new samsung but it says that there is no back up data in my account

    If your contacts are on icloud.com, download them as a vCard as explained here: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard.  Then import them to your phone as explained in your manual.  If you aren't able to, you can create a Gmail account and import the vCard to Gmail as explained here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en, then add the Gmail account to your phone and sync your contacts from Gmail.
    If they aren't on icloud.com, I'm not sure how you would access them from a backup on a Samsung, even if there was a backup.

  • ADD ITEMS TO DROPDOWN BOX FROM A TEXT FIELD(USER ENTERS THE ITEM) AND BOUND VALUE ALSO

    I WANT TO ADD ITEMS  THE DROPDOWN BOX FROM THE TEXT FIELD(ITEM NAME) WHERE USER ENTER'S THE ITEM DESCRIPTION
    AND BOUND VALUE ALSO SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE SAME ITEM.
    SAME WAY REMOVE ITEMS FROM DROPDOWN BOX
    PLEASE GIVE SAMPLE FORM OR JAVASCRIPT FOR THE ABOVE SCENARIO.....
    INDEED HELPFUL FOR MY PROJECT PLEASE SEND ATTACHED PDF FORM

    Hi Praveen,
    Your form is not shared so I have not been able to access it.  But I have updated mine.  There are now two approaches, one that follows on from the above method and updates each drop down list in each row.  The second updates a separate dataset that the drop down list is bound to.  This second approach requires the remerge() method which can cause problems if your code has updates some form properties like a borders color as these will be reset, but the code is simplier and you will only have one list to maintain.  The add button click code is;
    var particulars = xfa.datasets.resolveNode("particulars");
    if (particulars === null)
        particulars = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup","particulars");
        xfa.datasets.nodes.append(particulars);    
    var particular = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue","particular");
    particular.value = ItemName.rawValue;
    var boundValue = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue","id");
    boundValue.value = BoundValue.rawValue;
    particular.nodes.append(boundValue);
    boundValue.contains = "metaData";
    // find sorted position to insert
    for (var i = 0; i < particulars.nodes.length; i++)
        p = particulars.nodes.item(i);
        if (p.value > particular.value)
          particulars.nodes.insert(particular, p);       
                 break;
    // add to end if greater than all existing items
    if (particular.parent === null)
        particulars.nodes.append(particular);
    // clear source fields
    ItemName.rawValue = null;
    BoundValue.rawValue = null;
    // remerge form data to pick up new item
    xfa.form.remerge();
    And the binding looks like;
    I have updated my sample to include both methods, https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=OwysfJa-Q3HhPtFlgRb62g

  • TCP packet out of state: First packet isn't SYN & Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Microsoft Exchange Server [CAS-ARray]

    We are transitioning from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.  We found Outlook online mode (non-cached mode) have many warning "Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Microsoft Exchange Server [CAS-ARray]", usually happen when users tried to open
    address book but sometimes even normal operation like click the Send button.  The problem does not affect OWA and extremely rare when Outlook is running in cached mode.  Check the firewall logs, we notice a lot of "TCP Packet Out of State" drops.
    We have a lot from the CAS/HT to DC/GC on TCP_3268 and LDAP.  And the errors are "TCP packet out of state: First packet isn't SYN" with tcp_flags FIN-ACK, PUSH-ACK.
    We also have a lot from CAS/HT to the Outlook Clients on the static RPC port (TCP_59933).   And the errors are "TCP packet out of state: First packet isn't SYN" with tcp_flags FIN-ACK, PUSH-ACK and RST-ACK, ACK.
    This happens even on Outlook 2010 which I though it has TCP Keep Alive implmented to keep the session active within 1 hour. 
    Can somebody tell me if these out-of-state are the cause of our problem?  And how to fix it?
    THANK 1,000,000

    Hello AndyHWC,
    I did some consulting with our CAS team and received the following feedback to your post:
    It is difficult to determine what is causing resets without seeing the captures first hand however, the concern is that you are seeing dropped packets on the firewall logs.  Where is this firewall located?
    Based on the description "Check the firewall logs, we notice a lot of "TCP Packet Out of State" drops." and "We have a lot from the CAS/HT to DC/GC on TCP_3268 and
    LDAP." indicates to me that the firewall is between CAS and GC.  This not supported under any circumstances and would explain the issue they are seeing with clients trying to "retrieve data from the GC".
    If there is not a firewall between the GC and CAS then a Microsoft support engineer would need to have concurrent Netmon Captures from client, CAS, GC during the
    issue to analyze.  If only one GC exists consider adding another GC to handle the client requests and for fault tolerance.
    Also verify that all NIC card drivers are updated to the latest driver version
