Weird wrapping in a text field

I am using Dreamweaver 8. Here is the code: </p>
<br />
</span>
<textarea name="Educdis" cols="120" wrap="physical"
id="Educdis"></textarea>
<span class="style5"> <br />
<br />
How do I fix this? In the formication file after 12 lines of
data, exclamation marks are inserted with the last character
between them as follows:

I just tried that form element on a page and I can't get it
at all to wrap like that. Does it only occur when the wrap is a
physical one?

I Need help wrapping an expandable text field to the next page, while pushing a subforum beneath it

Hi, I hope I can get some help with this form that I am desperately trying to finish.
I am unable to get an expandable text field to recognize both 1.) the positioned subforum underneath and 2.) the page break. I'll attach the file if it helps get an understanding of what I mean, and maybe someone can see what I did to royally screw it up. The area of the form in question is on page 4 of the attached document. I want the user to be able to write as much as they need in the summary section, and still fill out the last section afterwards.
If more info is needed, let me know and I will do my best to describe what I did. My last solution I tried, before giving up, was to wrap the previous section, as well as the next section of the expandable text field, into its own subforum. Then, I nested the subforums together in another subforum.
Thanks in advance.

In case anyone sifting through forums, looking for the answer to this question, needs the answer: paulk07 was able to fix my document by unwrapping all of the subforms on the last page and then wrapping it in only 3 subforms (2 positioned/1 flowed) and then set the page to flow.
From there, I set the margins so when the sectioned wrapped to a new page, it didn't end/begin at the edge of the page.
Thanks again paulk07

Scaling Dynamic Text Fields

I have some dynamic text fields inside a movie clip that can
be scaled (zoomed). When the holder clip is scaled, however, the
word wrap of the text field changes.
Is there a way to lock the word-wrap so that it doesn't
shift?

Got it-- I just needed to embed the fonts.

Wrap a single word in a text field

Hello everyone!
I currently have a problem with text data that is displayed in a Flex text field <mx:Text>.
It's a narrow textfield (100px wide) in a animated ad banner that displays content from a database. There are some words that are too long for the available space, so flash wraps some letters to the next line. I have attached a screenshot that shows the actual problem.
The text is shown in a Java web-application as well, and since that Java app is displayed as a normale webpage, there is a lot more space for the text. I cannot put hyphens into the text because it would look weird in the normal web view.
Is there a way to make automatic hyphenation happening when Flash wraps a single word?
It would be perfect to get language-specific correct hyphenation, but a hyphen at the wrong spot is still better than no hyphen at all.
Thanks for your time and help!

I think your simplest bet would be to use mx:label and use the op
tion truncateToFit="true". Also adjust the width so that the text appears prope
rly. Hope this helps..!!

Address Book - Weird text field behaviour

In Address Book when I try to edit any text field weird things happen.
When I start typing all the previous characters are repeated with each keystroke - for example typing "Thomas" would become TThThoThomThomaThomas". Pressing the backspace, delete or the ESC key repeats only the keystrokes made, i.e. "Thomas" would be added to the end of "TThThoThomThomaThomas".
If I click into another field and start typing it still remembers all the previous keystrokes and puts all of them in front of the key I just pressed.
Additionally, nothing can be typed in the notes field.
I've tried deleting:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
but that doesn't fix it.
Anything in ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book be the problem?
When I log in a a guest user this behaviour is not present.

It's good that you tried this on a different account. That suggests that the problem exists somewhere in your user account directory. I don't think anything in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ would cause this. Do you have any input managers installed? These might be in ~/Library/Input Managers/ or something like that. I've never installed one myself, so I am not certain where they are. I think if you find one, you can just remove it from that folder by dragging it out, and then restarting Address Book might solve the issue.

How to word wrap within text field

I've created a form with a text field but when filling the form out, the words don't word wrap, but merely go in a single line across the text box field.
When can I format the text box to word wrap?
tks

I have set my text fields to multi line and the text wraps but it only starts about halfway down the text box. Please help, this is getting frustrating...

Getting text to wrap in a form field

How do I get text to wrap in a form field instead of shrinking in size as I type?

You need to enable the "Multi-line" option for the text field and make the field large enough to display the maximum expected entered text.

Wrapping Text to a New Line in a Single Text Field.

I was wondering is it possible to conintue text in the same text field that runs out of space on a line to a new line in the same text field. If this is possible could someone please advise.
i.e:
alot of text and random txt [ text box
text ] more txt on the next line.

You need to check the checkbox "Allow multiple lines" in the Object properties.. You need to check the checkbox "Expand to Fit" for height in the Layout properties of the field.
When you do this, you need to set the subform that wraps the TextField to Flowed. Otherwise the text will overlap on the fields below.
Make sure you save the form as Dynamic PDF. Goto File menu -> Form Properties and choose Default tab. And select "Render PDF as" Dynamic PDF.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Dynamic Text Field Wont Wrap Text

I have a Dynamic Text field in my movie clip. This text field has embedded fonts and Behavior is set to Multiline. When I add text to it, it wont display the text that wraps beyond the first line.
var textField:TextField = tip_txt; // text field inside my movie clip
trace("before textField.numLines = " + textField.numLines);
textField.text = "test a verrrrry looooooooong striiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggggg";
trace("after textField.numLines = " + textField.numLines);
The trace commands show that the number of lines are increasing but Flash doesn't display the text beyond the first line. Does anyone have any idea whats going on?
Thanks!

textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
This fixed the issue : )

How to make a text field wrap to next page

I've done my best to find the solution to my problem before coming here to post, so forgive me if I've missed a previously posted solution.
I am a .NET coder, using iText to manipulate PDF's. I need to create a template for a corporate invoice that will allow me to have header and footer content on a page, surrounding the invoice detail section and have the invoice detail wrap to the next page as necessary.
Criteria: All pages have the invoice header. All pages have the invoice footer with pagination (i.e. Page 1 of n). The number of pages is controlled by the number fo lines in the invoice detail text field.
For example, if the text field holds 30 lines and each line item takes up a single line. An invoice with 25 line items would only use one page. If the invoice has 35 line items, the content in the text area needs to flow to page 2 in the invoice detail area.
I have tried every combination I can dream up in Adobe LiveCycle Designer and I cannot get a document set up that will flow from page 1 to page 2.
For me to be able to access invoice detail field in code, it appears that it needs need to be a Text Field. I've been able to access the fields from my .NET code and fill them in without issue.
What I cannot get is a template that will allow me to put more content in the detail area than fits on page one and have it automatically create a second page and flow the content into the detail area.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or provide a working sample PDF?
I.e.
PAGE 1:
MY COMPANY
ADDRESS
INVOICE #20
Line item #1
Lilne item #1 detail
Line item #2
Line item #2 detail <from here, detail must flow to the detail section of the next page>
Page 1 of 2
PAGE 2:
MY COMPANY
ADDRESS
INVOICE #20
Line item #3
Lilne item #3 detail
Line item #4
Line item #4 detail
Page 2 of 2

While I appreciate the direction to the samples, that is not resolving my issue. I had already seen the samples before I posted in this forum.
None of the samples have what I've requested assistance with above.
I need a static 3" header, a 5" content area and a 1" footer on every page in a document. I want to be able to put content in the content area and have it wrap to subsequent pages if the content is more than will fit in the area. Each subsequent page must also have the 3" header, 5" content area and 1" footer.
This will not be edited in Acrobat, it will be edited in .NET code without human intervention, so having click buttons to add another row to a table is not an option.
I could create the entire PDF programmatically, but I'm seeking to find if Adobe LiveCycle Designer can make the PDF form in an easy to use GUI.
If the details of my need above do not provide a clear requirement, feel free to point that out.

Safari 3.0.4 (523.12) weird text field & delete button behavior

Just installed the software update (10.4.11), and now have a weird problem with Safari 3.0.4 (523.12).
When entering text into a text field _on a web page_ (i.e. NOT the address bar or the built-in Google search field), the screen scrolls when the space bar is pressed (oddly, a space IS entered into the text field).
Also, once a few pages have been visited, hitting the delete key makes the browser act as if the "back" button had been pressed!
What gives?
I tried disabling plug-ins (and restarting Safari) in case one of them was causing a conflict, but it didn't help. I also repaired permissions with Disk Utility. For clarity, I hadn't tried rebooting before launching Safari.
Is it possible to revert back to a previous version?

Hi,
Some other things to try:
- delete the Safari prefs file at /Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
- try resetting Safari via the Safari menu
- a test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)

Safari handling text fields weird

Hi!
I've got a piece of code and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
It's located at: http://kabo.nu/text.html
When I press tab I get the "user"-fiel highlighted and can enter text.
But if I then press tab again, the "pass"-field gets highlighted, but I can't enter any text!
However if I click in the text field I can enter text.
Is there anything wrong with my code or is this a bug in safari?
I'm guessing the later...

Try deleing the Safari Cache.db
Open a Finder window. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the Safari menu bar click Developer > Empty Caches (or Command + Option + E)
Emptying the cache after every Safari session may help and faster to do from the menu bar then trashing the Cache database file on a consistent basis.

Mail Merge from Numbers with long text fields

I'm having trouble doing a Mail Merge that's reading fields from a Numbers spreadsheet. Everything is working as expected except for my one field that contains several sentences of text for each record. Nothing from that field gets transferred into the merged document and there is no error message (the courtesy of an error message would be much appreciated if I'm hitting some limit of the feature!).
If I make fairly short text fields, it will merge successfully, but it would be tedious to go through my large text field and break each one into multiple shorter ones, and I haven't been able to figure out the limit on text length if there is one, so there would be a lot of trial and error. It doesn't seem to be by number of words, so perhaps it is by number of characters?
I have tried cutting and pasting into a new table in Numbers, pasting as values in case there was any weird formatting at issue.
I can't find anything to help me either fix this or at least know what the limitations are on Mail Merge. The only discussion I found here suggested either splitting the text fields or creating a new document, and those haven't worked for me.
Thanks for any leads people can give me on this!

Luckily I'm only merging a few dozen records, so I can go through by hand and pick out the odd spaces. But I'm open to any ideas for saving me that work, too!
Numbers can do a character count, but unfortunately can't do that 'live' as you are entering characters into the entry box; only when the string has actually been entered into a cell.
You can, however, make an estimate of the number of characters by entering them into a text frame of fixed width using a mono-spaced font. In the examples below, the font is Andale Mono 10pt, and the text boxes are 4.50 inches wide.
The top example shows the result when exactly 254 characters from the first paragraph of your previous post are entered in the box. For this example, leaving off the two words that wrapped onto line six and including only the first five lines of text would leave a 'headroom' of nine (or ten, depending on whether the space after "but" was included) characters.
To use: Enter your text into the text box using Andale Mono 10 pt. Select and Cut the first five lines. Click on the table cell to receive this chunk. Go Edit > Paste and Match Style to use the font set in the table, or simply Paste to use Andale Mono in this cell.
Repeat until all text has been transferred.
More below.
You can also get the actual character count using the LEN() function. In the table on the left, each of the cells B3, B4 and B5 contain the formula
=LEN(A)-254
A3, A4 and A5 contain part or all of the text shown in the two text boxes. I've set the alignment of these cells to 'Align right' to show the end of each string.
The Conditional formatting rules below are applied to cells B4 and B5. They set the background colour of the cell to 'amber' when the cell in column A is within 10 characters of the maximum and to red when the maximum is exceeded. The numbers in the cells show how many more characters may be added (negative numbers) or how many excess characters (positive numbers) are in the cell to the left.
These check cells may be placed in a separate table, and the formula revised to include the table name of the data table.

Barry

Expanding text fields not co-operating

I created a new form that spans over 2 pages and saved it as a dynamic PDF. I'm trying to allow for the text fields to expand as the user types beyond the intial size of the field. The field is set to "Expand to Fit". I have several sections of the form all separated by text headings. I have tried to wrap each section in a subform (set to "Flowed"), then wrap all the subforms to a larger subform (set to "Flowed").
The problems that I'm encountering is each section that is wrapped in a subform looses the placement and whitespace between fields of all the fields and brings them in tight to each other. Then when i wrap all the subforms into one larger subform (set to "flowed"), my text headings and other text get rearranged and I can't change the order of reposition them with the white space.
Below is a picture of my form in the nice tidy format that I'd like to keep. Then a picture of how it looks with each section in a subform and all of those subforms in a larger subform.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Moving to Flowed layouts can be a pain. When you change to Flowed type, all of the objects are positioned from top left, based on the order in the hierarchy.
You will need to adjust the objects margins in order to space them out.
First I would adjust the content area on the Master Page, so that you have your margins in the right distance from the left (and top, bottom and right).
See some examples here:
Objects in flowed forms: http://assure.ly/e2jR0C
Explore difference between flowed and positioned subforms: http://assure.ly/eSGQMt
Some aspects for laying out objects: http://assure.ly/ewrLMo.
Master pages and content areas: http://assure.ly/g0Wx7r.
Another thing, when working with textfields (and other objects) you can set the caption to appear above the value area (go to the Layout palette). This means that you will only be dealing with one object instead of two (currently you have a text object and a textfield).
If things are still out of order, then drag them into the correct order in the hierarchy and they will be in the right order on the page.
Hope that helps,
Niall
