What is initial value of an empty drop-down?

I have written a script to populate the items in a drop-down list but only if there is no entry already existing.
The problem I have is recognizing that the list is empty. I have tried to test for null (if dropdown.isNull = true) and testing the
rawValue = "" and a bunch of other things with no good result.
I'm sure this is easy but apparently not for me.
Thanks for the help!

Those commands are testing the value that is selected by the user. As they have not selected anything yet they will not have a value.
The command:
DropDownList1.items.nodes.length
Will give you the number of items in the DDlist. It is 1 based. Note that it will not count any items that were added to the dropdown by the user.

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,
Nehal

What are the XFA properties for a drop-down list?

I am having trouble distinguishing between the "Text" and "Value" for a drop down list.
I have a data drop-down list that is being populated by a database at runtime. I am using the "addItem" event while looping though the recordset. The "addItem" event takes 2 parameters:
param1: A valid string representing the value to display in the field.
param2: (Optional) A valid string representing the new items bound value. If empty, the default value is an empty string.
What is the corresponding XFA properties for param1 and param2?
If I want to reference "param2" somewhere else in the form, is it dropDownList.rawValue? is it dropDownList.value?

reviewed the sample.zip form and xml file. The XML format is different from my file. Your file has one field named "item" with 3 records. <data> - <field> <item>1</item> <item>2</item> <item>3</item> </field> </data> My XML file has multiple fields and records. I need to populate the dropdown list with 1 field from XML file/DataConnection and bind the remainder of the DataConnection fields to the form fields. How can I achieve above with the sample example?

How to get values from a multiple drop-down box.

On my first page, I have a multiple drop-down box as the following code.
<select name="selInterMethod" class="textbox" multiple>
<option selected value="CH">Chicago</option>
<option value="NY">New York</option>
<option value="SF">San Francisco</option>
</select>
On my second transaction page, I need to save "CH-NY" into my Database column: city if the user selected Chicago and New York.
How can I accomplish this in JSP?
Thanks for your help.

I figured out the solution. Here it is. FYI
String inter_method = "";
String Inter_Method[]=request.getParameterValues("selInterMethod");
 if( Inter_Method.length > 0 ) {
 for (int i = 0; i < Inter_Method.length; i++) {
 inter_method = inter_method + '-' +Inter_Method;
 inter_method = inter_method.substring(1,inter_method.length());
 System.out.println("trx inter_method = " + inter_method);

How to get the selected value/key of a drop down list box in webdynpro Java

Dear SDN Members,
I have added some static data into a drop down list box by key UI element using the procedure specified in value help tutorial.
Now i want to display the value selected in a dropdown list box on view whenever i select an item in a dropdown list box.
Can any one put here the code part relating to this.
Your help will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sireesha.B

Hi Sireesha,
You want to display value based on the key selected in dropdown list. If you want to do like that
1) Create a context attribute for ex: key_value
2)In the properties of the attribute select the calculated as true.
3)It will create getter and setter methods for your attribute.
4)Go to implementation add the following code in getter method of your attribute
String attributeName = IPrivateCreate.IContextElement.KEY;
//KEY is your dropdown key attribute not the value attribute.
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = element.node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(attributeName);
ISimpleTypeModifiable simpleType = attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet valueset = simpleType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
Object key = element.getAttributeAsText(attributeName);
return valueset.getText(key);

G/L Account Master Value not display in drop down screen

Hi All,
G/L Master data some G/L Account is created but in the Selection filed
drop down in the g/l account number when we select that particular g/l
account no. wise search system give the massage --
No values for this selection
Message no. DH802
But when we give the g/l account number in fs00 it is display.
When we search the where is problem we find one filed there in SKA1-
SAKAN filed not maintain for particular that g/l account remaining g/l
account is maintain we search there 5 g/l account not maintain in that filed.
How can we solve this issue please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Juhi

Hi,
The length of G/L account number (V_T004-SAKLN) field is for display purposes only. When you create a G/L account, an entry will be created in the chart of accounts (SKA1) table. The G/L account number is stored in the following (2) fields:
1) SKA1-SAKNR - contains the internal (10) character field format.
2) SKA1-SAKAN - contains the external field format as defined in trans OB13.
For example, if you define the length of G/L account number to be (8) characters in trans OB13, the (7) and (8) character G/L accounts will be stored in the SKA1 fields as follows:
                          (Internal)          (External)
     G/L Account          SKA1-SAKNR          SKA1-SAKAN
     1234                 0000001234          01234
     12345                0000012345          12345
When you define your chart of accounts you enter the length of the G/L account number. This is the significant length. A possible maximum is 10. You have to make sure that there are enough digits for your leading zeros. A possible cause of your problem, is that the length of SAKAN was changed at some point.
To maintain the field SKA1-SAKAN for the output of the account number, please proceed as documented in the attached Note 187832.

Waman

'Unspecified' value in the Prompt drop down

Hi All,
I am facing a very unusual issue in my report.
The 'Unspecified' value keeps showing up in the Prompt drop down even if doesn't really exist in the Database.
This 'Unspecified' value refers to the NULL value.
I have tried using a filter on that field with filter "is Not Null', but this does not seem to work either.
I am stuck.
Does any one have a solution to this?
Many Thanks,
-Roy

Try this simple thing:
for your prompt field in the design, select sql results under show option and write a query that SELECT field name FROM ... WHERE field name NOT NULL.
That's it, no need of filter in the report.

Using JavaScript to auto populate a field based on numeric value of a separate drop down field

Hello, I am trying to set up a simple, I hope, javascript which will enable to me auto populate one field based on the numberic value of another field using Acrobat Pro XI.
Essentially I have 2 drop down fields (we'll call them DD1 and DD2).
DD1 is the sum of 8 preceding drop down values. That sum can be anywhere from 0 - 40. Whatever that sum falls within a range which identifies a rating. The ratings and ranges are below:
0-8: Non-Performer
9-16: Low Performer
17-24: Performer
25-32: High Performer
33-40: Exceptional Performer
DD2 is where the rating ("non-performer", "low performer", etc.) will be captured. Instead of requiring the user to look at DD1, determine the value, and then identify and input the rating manually, I would like DD2 to auto populate the rating based on the value (sum) in DD1.
For example, if DD1 shows a value of 27 then DD2 would auto populate "High Performer". So how do I write this code or execute this? In excel I would use an if, then statement. Is there something similar in Acrobat Pro XI.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you use a text field, the custom calculation script could be:
// Custom calculation script for text field
(function () {
 var s = getField("DD1").valueAsString;
 // Blank this field if input is blank
 if (!s) {
 event.value = "";
 return;
 // Convert string to number
 var v = +s;
 // Set this field's value based on the input
 if (v <= 40 && v >= 33) {
 event.value = "Exceptional Performer";
 return;
 if (v < 33 && v >= 25) {
 event.value = "High Performer";
 return;
 if (v < 25 && v >= 17) {
 event.value = "Performer";
 return;
 if (v < 17 && v >= 9) {
 event.value = "Low Performer";
 return;
 if (v < 9 && v >= 0) {
 event.value = "Non-Performer";
 return;
 // If none of the above fit, blank this field
 event.value = "";

I need to calculate based on a value chosen in a drop down list!!

Ok, here's the deal.
I'm writing an order form for custom guitars.
There will be a dropdown list for many things.
Example:
Body Shape : (Shape A, Shape B, Shape C) <-(dropdown list)
Body Color : (Color A, Color B, Color C) <-(dropdown list)
all three shapes and colors have different costs.
So for example, if the base cost is $450
and chosing
Shape A = +$0
Shape B = +$50
Shape C = +$65
Color A = +$0
Color B = +$15
Color C = +$35
So after the customer chooses the shape and Color, I want the final price to display in the "Price" box.
So if I chose Shape B & Color C in my dropdown list, the price would read $535.
Is this possible?
If so, do I need to write a seperate calcuation for it?? How do I do it?

If all of your items in a given drop down box have a unique price you can set the export value for each option.
The custom calculation for the total price field could be, with the field names of "Body Shape" and "Body Color":
var nBase = 450;
var nShape = Number(this.getField("Body Shape").value);
var nColor = Number(this.getField("Body Color").value);
event.value = nBase + nShape + nColor;
If you created a hidden field for the base price you could use the "Field is the sum of the following fields:" and select the field names.
You could also use the Simplified Field Calculation:
450 + Body\ Shape + Body\ Color

What's the best way of creating drop down menus on CS3?

Hi people,
I'm using CS3 now. I used to build drop down menus in
fireworks, but now with CS3 theyre a bit glitchy and I have
problems centering the page, as fireworks CS3 now generates CSS for
each menu - (dreamweaver also gets confused which CSS to use?)
Is SPRY menus the way to go now? It looks quite time
consuming styling them with CSS? I quite like using rollover
images, is this going to make life hard doing it the SPRY way?
Any tips or advice would be appreciated before I start.
Whats your experience of SPRY shall I go for that or stick to
something more tradional?

It's not really all that time consuming if you have an
understanding of
CSS... the stylesheet that is used for the Spry menus is
fully commented
(thought it could be better explained in some cases), but
once you
understand what each section does and how to make the style
change it's not
that difficult.
Otherwise, go with the tutorial already posted.
