Webding font issue in drop down form

I need a check mark and an "X" in a dropdown list of a form. The only font I found that has them together is Webdings. I works fine in the Actrobat Pro preview. But wehen the file is opened in Reader the symbols are different.

One should not use a print metric on the web. Please use
pixels, ems, ens,
exs, percents, or font size names, but definitely not points.

  • Change font size in drop-down form item

    When I'm in design mode, I assigned the drop-down item a
    style class of 9pt
    font and it looks fine in design mode. When I go to view in
    IE, the font
    looks like a standard 10pt font and doesn't change when I
    change the class.
    So, all of my titles are in 9pt but the form text boxes and
    drop-down boxes
    are all using 10pt font.
    How do you change the font used in form fields?
    Thanks!

  • Iweb drop down forms

    I am new to iweb, but longtime mac user. I have a little trouble having our webmaster update our bakery's site. I was wondering if iweb can fulfill this need for me to update and if a drop down form (which is incredible useful to brides) can be achieved on an iweb made site and is not to difficult for a web rookie like me. Any places to look for something like this form of our current site? http://www.sweetpeacecakes.com/weddingform.html

  • Issue populating drop-down lists on newly created instances.

    I have a drop-down list on the main page and another ddl on the flowed subform. I have js code that populates the support type ddl when a selection is made on the team ddl.

  • Business Contact Manager 2013 Issue with drop down menus not working correctly and BCM disappearing.

    We upgraded from BCM 2007 to BCM 2013.  Now the BCM disappears from Outlook occasionally and the drop down menus are confused. for instance when accessing the drop down for phone numbers, the user selects company - but the field for TTY/TDD comes up.
    Shows fields that don't exist etc.
    The client is using Office 2013 Pro Premium from Office 365 Small Business Premium subscription and BCM downloaded from Microsoft website.
    Please let me know what the support avenues are for this product.
    Chris Smith

    Hi,
    This issue may be caused since the BCM was not installed properly.
    Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, find Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook and Uninstall it.
    Then go to
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36513, download the right version of BCM(32bit or 64bit) and install it.
    If issue persists, you may provide the screenshots of the issue, post them to SkyDrive and share it via a link:https://skydrive.live.com/, then we will have a better understanding on the issue.

  • Spry horizontal menu - IE6 issue with drop downs not displaying correctly

    Hello everyone,
    I have an IE6 display issue with a spry horizontal menu on a website I recently developed and hope someone can help me sort it out.
    You can see the live site here: www.callumstrust.org
    This is a site for a new charity so obviously I'm very keen to get it sorted out as soon as I can. The easiest way to view the problem is to either view it in IE6, or view it IE8, turn on the Developer Tools and change the Document Mode to 'Quirks mode'. you'll immediately see that the sub-menus on the header menu display permanently as a full width list, and not as a drop down menu as they should.
    I think the problem lies with the 'width' being set to 'auto' in the ul.MenuBarHorizontal li style. However, I can't seem to get the style right to display the menu on a single line with enough space for text of all the menu items.
    Can anyone advise on how to sort this out? I've not posted any code here: let me know if you need this and I'll happily post it.
    Many thanks,
    chris.

  • Dependant Drop down form validation

    I have a form where after selecting options from 5 dependant drop down boxes, and clicking submit a pdf file is displayed in a new window.  This is working fine, i now just need some code to validate the form before submission rather than going to an error message if they have not selected each of the boxes.
    the page in question is here:
    www.ddvalves.com/documentation3.html
    any suggestions will help, ive been playing about with a few scripts found on the web, but they seem to use the onsubmit function, which i am already using to display the pdf.  If i enter 2 onsubmit functions i get a duplicate function error in my dreamweaver toolbar.
    thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Have you looked at the spry validation that is in DW?  That is what I use.

  • Font size in drop-down fill in the blank quiz questions.

    I've migrated an old Quiz from Captivate 4 to Captivate 5. All went reasonably well except for the fill-in-a-blank questions. Fortunately there are only relevatively few of these, but I've encountered a strange problem when I started to do this.
    I've set up a style which applies to the fill-in-a-blank question, using biggish text (30pt) because the viewers of the test will not have perfect vision. The text reproduces fine when I publish with the exception of the text in the drop down box. This is appearing as what looks to be about 10pt and not in keeping with the style that applies to the question.
    Here's what I mean...
    I've looked up and down the menus and in the helpfiles but I can't find out how to control the drop-down text size. Any help would be gratefully received as otherwise I'll have to abandon this type of question.
    regards,
    Henry

    Hello Henry,
    Have reported this issue to the Adobe team, but cannot help you to solve it.
    If you could replace the dropdown list by really to type words, there the style of the sentence itself is taken over.

  • Cond display of drop down based on value selected in another drop down form

    Hi,
    I have a requirement in my app in which I need to be able to conditionally display the values in the drop down down list based on the values selected in another drop down list...
    Currently I have 2 drop downs.
    First drop down is a list of Jacks from 2000 to 4999...
    Second Drop down consists Chassis ranging from 1 to 900..
    So when a user selects any jack between 2000 - 2999, in the second drop down only Chassis ranging from 1 to 300 should appear.
    when anything between 3000 - 3999 is selected, Chassis ranging from 301 to 600 should appear..
    and for jacks between 4000 - 4999, Chassis ranging from 601 to 900 should appear in the second drop down.
    Can someone please provide me pointers on how to do this..
    Thanks,
    Nehal

    Hi Larry,
    Thanks for your response..
    Here are the queries for my select lists.
    P62_JACK
    select list query for Jacks:
    select JACK_NUM display_value, JACK_NUM return_value
    from CTS_LIST_OF_JACKS
    order by 1
    P62_CHASSIS_BLADE_PORT
    select NETWORKPORT display_value, NETWORKPORT return_value
    from CTS_LIST_OF_NETWORKPORTS
    order by NETWORKPORT_ID
    jacks range from 2000 to 4000
    chassis_blade_port ranges from 100 to 900...
    Can you please let me know how to do it..
    Thanks,

  • Airport issue.. drops down for every 5 min (Approximately)

    im using a wireless network to connect to internet..
    router is working fine..around every 5 min the strenghts go down to zero.. if i switch off the airport and switch it on again.. the bar shows full strength.. which confirms that there is no problem with the router..
    so for every 5 min.. i restarting the airport.. what would be the problem?

    Sorry, can't help you with this, but there are numerous threads regarding this issue with a variety of suggestions on how it may be addressed. You might give a few of those a try and see if any works, although it'll most likely be a shot in the dark. Mine has had this problem since the evening of the day I bought it in January and no fix has worked yet. I went back to the 1990s and wired ethernet. It's an issue which Apple has to know about, but has not resolved.

  • Can't open drop down form fields on iPad

    I created a form in Adobe Pro, added several dropdowns and they don't work on the iPhone/iPad.  You can see the box with the arrow, but only allows you to type custom text, no dropdown list populates.  Below is a link to screen shot.  Thanks for any help!!!
    https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-7157485-724135/IMG_0720.png

    For the particular form in question, it was authored (likely initially via some field recognition algorithm) with several instances of a dropdown and a text field overlayed over one another.  Because the text field is before the dropdown in field/tab order, on tap, it is processed first by the Mobile Reader.  That is why your experience when using the Mobile Reader is that of a text field.
    The Desktop Reader processes fields in reverse field/tab order (z-order), so the experience that user will see is that of a dropdown.
    I can change the Mobile Reader to process fields as the Desktop does, in reverse field/tab order (z-order) so that both products are consistent.  This doesn't help you in the short term, though.  To make your form work in the short term with the existing Mobile Reader, you could remove the overlapping text fields (they are named as 'undefined_n' where n is a number).  On a brief look, these overlapping text fields do not appear to serve a purpose (they do not appear to hold a hidden value or participate in javascript for example); they appear to be the after effect of some kind of (imperfect) automated field recognition algorithm.
    Hope this helps,

  • Drop Down list issues in jsp

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue with drop down list in jsp pages on page postback. Let me explain in detail. I have a client.jsp page which has a drop down list and a text box. The drop down list is populated from an Action class (lets say testAction.java). In the client action form class there is a validation which requires the user to enter some value in the text box.
    So here is the problem, when the client.jsp page loads, the drop down list is populated perfectly, but then the user clicks submit button without entering anything in the textbox, the page loads again with an error message ("Please enter some value in the textbox"). At this point the drop down list does not contain any value. Any ideas what could I do?
    I am posting the code here for individual pieces,
    Struts-config.xml_
    <action path="/client" type="com.myapp.struts.testAction" scope="session">
    <forward name="success" path="/createClient.jsp"/>
    </action>
    <action input="/createClient.jsp" name="ClientActionForm" path="/createClient" scope="session" type="com.myapp.struts.ClientAction">
    <set-property property="cancellable" value="true" />
    <forward name="success" path="/loginSuccessful.jsp"/>
    <forward name="cancel" path="/Welcome.do"/>
    </action>
    index.jsp_
    <h5><html:link action="/client" styleClass="purplelink">Create a new client</html:link></h5>
    testAction.java_
    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
    HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws Exception {
    ArrayList<String> arrList = new ArrayList<String>();
    arrList.add("sports");
    arrList.add("music");
    arrList.add("test 1");
    arrList.add("test2");
    request.setAttribute("mylist", arrList);
    return mapping.findForward(SUCCESS);
    createClient.jsp_
    <select name="droplist">
    <c:forEach var="itemName" items="${mylist}">
    <option><c:out value="${itemName}" /></option>
    </c:forEach>
    </select>
    <html:text property="clientName" />
    ClientActionForm_
    public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
    ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
    if (getclientName() == null || getclientName().length() < 1) {
    errors.add("name", new ActionMessage("error.name.required"));
    return errors;
    Here is the process/page flow.
    index.jsp is the first page which is loaded.
    Link on index.jsp calls action="/client"
    This pulls mapping from struts-config and calls testAction.java
    This populates the arraylist and returns to the createClient.jsp page (mapping from struts-config.xml)
    Now createClient.jsp page has two fields (dropdown list and textfield=clientName) and a submit button
    if user clicks submit, clientActionForm is called and does not enter anything into clientName text field, error message is returned.
    At this point, the drop down list in createClient.jsp is not populated and is returned as empty, even though the scope=session in struts-config.xml
    Please provide some inputs on how can I handle this issue.
    Thanks
    Ashish

    I think one solution would be instead of putting the list in the request, but it in your ActionForm.
    Add a field to the ClientActionForm with getters and setters.
    Then change your action.
    ArrayList<String> arrList = new ArrayList<String>();
    arrList.add("sports");
    arrList.add("music");
    arrList.add("test 1");
    arrList.add("test2");
    ClientActionForm frm = (ClientActionForm)form;
    frm.setMyList(arrList);
    return mapping.findForward(SUCCESS);

  • Adobe Captivate 4 Quiz(Matching)  Drop down list font size too small.

    Hi,
    We are using Adobe Captivate 4.  Quiz (Matching).  Exported to SWF.

    Hello,
    Formatting Question slides in CP is sometimes a pain. I cannot give you a proper answer, but it would be great if you filed a feature request to the team to have more control over the styles used in this dropdown list (link is in the main page of this forum). If we are many to ask for such enhancements, it will get higher on the priority list.
    As you probably discovered, in the Properties of the dropdown lists in the Matching Question slide you can only change font and color, not font size. My proper workaround is choosing a font that gives the best result, some fonts really look bigger than others. This is not always consistent with the styles in the rest of the movie, but I adapt all the Text in Question slides to this choosen font.
    Sorry not to be able to help you. Question slides are in the folder, but in SWC-format, and I cannot open those files, even though I have Flash CS4 installed. Perhaps a Flash-wise guy will pop in to help you.
