Validation of multiple empty fields in dynamic form

Hi,
I have created multiple fields dynamic form consisting of both mandatory & optional fields. Since the mandatory fields are validated by default, I want to validate the optional fields while submitting as PDF document dynamically and prompt me to continue or discard the submission. Also validating each & every field is not valid option as my form contains more than 200 fields.
I have tried with the below script which I successfully used to lock the form but in validating the empty fields I have a problem. Although I populate all the fields in the form, still I receive the validation message. Can anybody help me out on this issue?
for (var nPageCount = 0; nPageCount < xfa.host.numPages; nPageCount++) {
var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(nPageCount, "field");
var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
// Set the field property.
for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++) {
if (oFields.item(nNodeCount).isNull = 1 && oFields.item(nNodeCount).length < 0){
xfa.host.messageBox("All the form fields are not completed, Do you want to continue","Field Validation", 2, 2);
break
Thanks,
Jay

I discovered how to accomplish this using the Manage Dynamic Form Wizard and changed the "Display as" field property from "Text field" to "Text" for the fields I wanted read only.
Now I have another problem, the properties of one of the fields (for comments) was "Text area" when I changed it to "Text" I now have this extremely long line that streches the width of the browser.
Is there a way to get this line to wrap? This is he line I'm working with...
<td class="form_results"><?php echo KT_escapeAttribute($row_rssubmissions['sub_comments']); ?></td>

I found the answer to this problem, Günter had answered it in another post.

Static fields in Dynamic form...

Can I have static content on a dynamic form? Is there a way?
I need to print few fields in the form regardless of data in the subforms. These fields are not part of any subform group but they don't show up. Thanks.

XSL-T and FO stylesheets would be another way. Depends on whether you prefer code or XML.

Is it possible to update multiple tables with a dynamic form?

I have columns from two tables populating a dynamic form. I am trying to have the form update both tables on submit. I have tried both a linked transaction and a custom transaction but I am not making progress. Only the master table is being updated. Is it possible with ADDT to update two tables with a dynamic form?

Setting Focus in Text Field of Dynamic Form

I have a form that has a dynamic section that allows a user to add or delete a request. It this form there is by default one request. At the end of the section I have a button that says "ADD ADDITIONAL REQUEST" that will load another instance of the repeatable section. I want to be able to fill out the first request and click on the ADD button and when the new repeatable section displays the cursor should be active in the first text field of the new instance. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? Thanks in advance for the help!

You can check to see if it contains a string once by using the contains function, but there isn't a very clean way to do what you want. If you wanted to guess at the maximum number of occurrences, then you could:
Box A has your initial. Set Box B to do a concat of string-before and string-after of Box A where it copies Box A minus the string we're looking for. Then we have Box C that does the same thing to Box B. Repeat as many times as you see necessary.
Example:
String: "1"
Box A - "123451234512345"
Box B - "23451234512345"
Box C - "2345234512345"
Box D - "234523452345"
etc.
We then have a field that has nested ifs looking backwards from Z -> A looking for a non-blank. Based on that, we return the number of occurrences. Again, this isn't clean, but it will work if you think there's a predefinable maximum.

Multiple barcodes in a dynamic form don't work

Hi everybody
I have a form in which I can add new items using instanceManager. I want to capture the data from each item i separate barcodes, and here comes the problem. I can make the barcode capture data from the first item in the form, but when I add new items when I fill out the form, the barcodes all refers to item no. one.
How can I make each new barcode refer to the right item?
The objects for item information including the barcode is placed in a subform.
I hope someone can help.
K
P.S. If the question seems familiar, its because I have already posted it in another forum, but without any result. So I try again.

Hi Paul
Your scrip didn't quite work. But it helped me in the right direction. Thanks a lot.
I made the script like this:
RIrekvUdv1.Prver.Effekt1.RIrekv_Prv_1::calculate - (JavaScript, client)
//{{Start Generated Content//
var
is705ViewerRequired = false;
//End Generated Content}}//
function
encodeBarcode() {
var str = AntmskStd.rawValue + "\n"
+ xfa.resolveNode("Effekt1[" + this.parent.index + "].Prvetyp").rawValue + "\n"
+ xfa.resolveNode("Effekt1[" + this.parent.index + "].PrveAnt").rawValue + "\n";
return str;}
function
getInstanceData(node) {
var str = "";
var nNodeLength = node.length;
for (nNodeCount=0; nNodeCount < nNodeLength; nNodeCount++) {str
+= node.item(node).rawValue + "\n";}
return str;}
this.rawValue

How to implement Dynamic form validation

Hello,
I've been reading up on the forums about using the htmldb.item package to dynamically create form elements using a SQL query. Assuming I can generate the form dynamically, what approaches/options are available for implementing dynamic validation of the form elements themselves?
Thanks in advance

You could write a page-level 'PL/SQL Function Body returning error text' validation where you loop over your dynamic form elements (htmldb_application.g_fnn), check the values and raise errors as needed.

Placing lines of text beside multiple choice field in form

Dynamically adding fields to the form when button pressed

Hi all,
In my application, there is a form from which I need to be able to insert data into 7 to 8 tables...
Creating a view and inserting data into 5 table sis fine but there are 2 table whose structure is as follows.
server_app_rel : server_id, app_id
server_jack_rel : server_id, jack_id
Here each server can have any number of applications and any number of jacks...
I am not able to create a view ( to create a form on this view).. since the number of appllication and jack columns are not fixed. The user should be able to associate all the applications and jacks to the server in the same form...How can I insert multiple rows into tables from a single form when I dont know how many application and jacks(app/jack columns) the user will associate to the server..
Also, How can we add fields dynamically to the form?
Our requirement is by default we have to show only one application field and one jack field in the form..And when the user clicks on 'Add more Jacks' or 'Add more Apps' button, respective fields should appear on the form to add data..( this is like 'Add column' button when we create table)..
Can someone please give me inputs on how to proceed..Am stuck with this from 2 days..It would be really very helpful if someone can give me atleast the links where i can find this info..
Thanks,
Nehal

Dynamic Forms with Subforms and Text Fields

I've been reading all of the messages relating to subforms and dynamic forms and have used many of the suggestions, but haven't found anything that addresses the problem I am having. I'm using Designer 7.0. I've saved my form as a dynamic form, I've set my text fields for multiple lines and expand to fit. My problem is that as soon as I set the parent subform to Flow Content, everything moves to the left margin. I've tried grouping items together within a subform in hopes that the items will maintain their position on the page, but everything always moves to the left margin. I'm creating a legal form that needs to have text and a text field centered at the top of the page. Below that to the left is a text field that needs to be able to expand with two text fields to the right of it. Below that are additional text fields that need to expand as needed.
Am "stacking" my subforms incorrectly and setting the wrong subform to Flow Content? Or, can you now lock a field to a specific position? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I hadn't understood that you needed the fields to expand in height and everything below them to move down the page. In that case, you'll need to use flowed subforms.
Having all objects move to the left side of the page is expected when setting a subform to flowed. That's because the flow is top-down, left-right.
One thing you could try is making the text field that needs to be centered exactly as wide as the flowed subform and then setting its left- and right-hand margins to an equal number. This would ensure an equal amount of space on the left- and right-hand sides and because the field would be as wide as its flowed container (subform), entering multiple lines of text would result in everything below moving down.
I've attached a sample form where the page subform has been set to flowed, the text field at the top is a multi-line/height-expandable text field with its width set to the page width and its left- and right-hand margins both set to 2in and the button and check box objects are pushed below the text field.
When text is entered into the text field, it expands in height and causes the button and check box to move down.
To achieve other horizontal and vertical positioning/offsets, you could play with the margins of all the fields that need this.

How can I Validate all fields of the form and show validation summary?

Hello,
I am building a dynamic form with livecycle. I need to implement two fetures:
1. Show the user all invalid fields of the form when he tries to submit it (show him validation summary) and guide him to correct the errors.
2. Remove the highlight frame from mandatory fields after user enters his input.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Peter.

Okey once more a try...
Normally you don't get a list of the fields that didn't pass the validation. So, you have to script the list by yourself!
If you put the validation script in the exit field that means if the user doesn't enter the field, the script won't be executed.
You could make an additional script into presave, presubmit, validate or whatever that will force the user to go to the field.
For example make a field only mandatory if the user doesn't enter anything.
Way to make mandatory fields that won't be shown if the user had provided response
if (this.rawValue == null) {
this.validate.nullTest = "error";
this.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
this.assist.toolTip.value = "This field is mandatory, please provide a response...";
xfa.layout.relayout();
else {
this.validate.nullTest = "disabled";
this.border.edge.color.value = "255,255,255";
this.assist.toolTip.value = "This field is optional...";
xfa.layout.relayout();
Will JUST get mandatory if the user doesn't provide response. (Is an older script I got here and changed slightly for you.)
Do the parts in the event that should "fire" them. Probably divide it into two parts with two if statements instead of the else...
Think good about the event!
Way to make a list of what things the user has forgotten!
You can make an invisible TextField that will be shown AND populated if the user tries to submit something invalid.
Calculate Event of the Textfield:
this.rawValue = " "
if (Dezimalfeld1.rawValue == null)
{this.rawValue = this.rawValue + "*Please enter something into Dezimalfield1, Page1,... ";}
if (Dezimalfeld2.rawValue == null)
{this.rawValue = this.rawValue + "*Please enter something into Dezimalfield1, Page1,... ";}
(Of course you've got to name the fields exactly.
All scripts are JAVASCRIPT!)

Form validation error with mandatory fields and signature field

Hello,
I have seen that many other users are facing this issue, and they partialy do solve it with some workarounds. However, none of them applies to my case.
I have a dynamic form (can be registration form for example) where user fills in bunch of fields. Some of them are mandatory.
When user signs the form, I get our favourite validation error popups that filed this and this did not validate. (I think that the signature is not valid too once I get these errors).
Workaround would be to set all fileds in the form as optional, however, the presign and postsign events work only in A9 and I need the form to be compatible with ver. 8 too.
I also need to make sure, that they are not set to optional, if the signing fails, user clicks on cancel etc...
Any ideas how to acomplish such a scenario?
Thanks
J.

Dynamic form fields collection order?

I have a basic dynamic form feild with Instances that allow a user to enter data in a Table Row then, if neededed, ADD another row/instance to enter more.
The form worls well and is processed via Adobe.com Tracker.
Tracker and the exports to .csv of the data adds all the instances of new rows to the END of the spreadsheet and tracker form responses dispaly.. In other words it seems to process the entire form and all its fields in order, ignoring any new instances, THEN goes back and begins collecting the instances adding them to the end columns of the response spreadsheet. Would be much easier to parse/read/collect responses if any new instances were collected and recorded next to the same location where the first instance occurred.
Hope that makes sense. For example if I had:
FirstName
LastName
Date
field
field
field
field
dynamic field (with otpion to add additional items/entries)
field
field
field
filed
The data collection would appear as:
FirstName
LastName
Date
field
field
field
field
dynamic field (with otpion to add additional items/entries)
field
field
field
filed
dynamic field extra entry 1
dynamic field extra entry 2
dynamic field extra entry 3
But I would prefer is to appear as:
FirstName
LastName
Date
field
field
field
field
dynamic field (with otpion to add additional items/entries)
dynamic field extra entry 1
dynamic field extra entry 2
dynamic field extra entry 3
field
field
field
filed
... with the dynamic new isntances collected and recorded adjacent to each other. Doesnt seem like much until you have a long form with multiple new instance form options and all new instances seem to be arbitrarily thrown onto end of collection spreadsheet.
Many thnaks!

How to make dynamic form fields update?

This is going to be an ugly post, fair warning! :)
I have a form that gets it's labels and text input field
names dynamically from a database. Rather than having the form
hardcoded, we are able to add new columns to a table and the form
automatically adds new labels and fields via CFQUERY.
When the form is completed and they submit (method post), the
database is supposed to update. However, because our input field
names are being populated via query, we can't write a static update
query when we add new form items.
So, I do have a solution to this (in my head), but I'm stuck
at a bit of logic and am having trouble getting it out in code. I'm
looking for a way to write #FORM.#fieldname## (here is where it
gets ugly). Since the form submits by post method, I am left with a
bunch of FORM.fieldname's on my action page (and fieldname is
generic for what the actual variables are).
So here's how I am updating:
I have a table (call it table1) that contains a column of all
the column names of my data table (table2). This table is used for
query purposes only, no data is updated here from the form.
I query table1 to call all the names of the columns in
table2.
<cquery datasource="exdb" name="exname">
SELECT columnName
FROM table1
</cfquery>
Then I write the update query which will update items as they
are looped using CFOUTPUT:
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="exname">
<cfquery datasource="exdb" name="exupdate">
UPDATE table2
SET #columnName# = #FORM.<columnName>#
WHERE itemID = #FORM.itemID#
This is my dilemma. As you can see, the cfoutput is a loop..
so let's take the first item in the loop, call it "name1". So our
update query says SET name1 = #FORM.name1#, and this will update
the table with whatever was submitted in name1's input field. The
cfoutput loops again, this time it's name2. SET name2 =
#FORM.name2#. Now the form does include a hidden input of itemID to
specify where the table should be updating, as you can see above.
So, now that you see how this works, my problem is getting
#FORM.<columnName># to be FORM.name1, FORM.name2, etc.
In Coldfusion you would write #FORM.variable# to call a FORM
item. However, since the variable is pretty much undefined and we
use a query to populate it, we need to do #FORM.#variable## where
#variable# needs to be resolved before #FORM._______#
Are you with me on this? It's very complex in explanation,
but if you need more info, I can provide it more clearly. Let me
know what you guys think. Really, I have the solution, but getting
#FORM.#columnName## to resolve is another problem. I think what i
need is to figure out the order of operation for that statement, so
#columnName# resolves first.

You'll want to use the scope structure notation when dealing
with your form variables. The variable Form.SomeVar can also be
written as Form["SomeVar"]. Using this syntax, you can do something
like this:
UPDATE table2
SET #columnName# = #FORM[columnName]#
WHERE itemID = #FORM.itemID#
You may also want to look into the following to help optimize
your code:
1) check out how to use <cfqueryparam> - it might speed
your code up a bit.
2) depending on the DB you are using, you may be able to
combine all of your UPDATE SQL commands inside 1 <cfquery>
</cfquery> block. This will allow you to do all your database
actions with 1 DB connection, instead of a bunch (works in MSSQL,
not sure about Oracle or MySQL)
