Where is Hint Box for Validation Text Field widget?

I want to enter a hint for my form.
I am following the instructions on the Adobe Using Dreamweaver CS4 page for Insert and edit the Validation Text Field widget page:
<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSEB5440BC-453A-4101-928C-302199E7E02F. html#WS8E6EA74E-87AC-4a81-A5CC-2DB6FB451DE0a>
It says:
Create a hint for a text field
Because there are so many different kinds of formats for text fields, it is helpful to give your users a hint as to what format they need to enter. For example, a text field set with the Phone Number validation type will only accept phone numbers in the form (000) 000-0000. You can enter these sample numbers as a hint so that the text field displays the correct format when the user loads the page in a browser.
1. Select a Validation Text Field widget in the Document window.
2. In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), enter a hint in the Hint text box.
However, the is no hint box in my Propeties area.
How do I get this hint box to show up?
Dreamweaver CS4, Windows Vista

Hi David,
My Property inspector looks different than what you have below.
I do not have a Hint box and I do not have the Customize this widget.
I did have a Hint box and the Customize this widget for CS3, howver not for CS4

Script for validating Text fields or numeric fields

I'm looking for a simple script that will check the entered data in a specific field.If i enter numbers in the name/last name field i should get a pop up message that entering numbers in this field are not allowed.
(And vice versa regarding numeric fields).
What is the script for that ?

Hi,
try this:
//var reg = /^\d+$/;    // checks whether input contains ONLY digits
var reg = /\d+/;    // checks whether input contains digits AND letters
var check = reg.exec(xfa.resolveNode("#subform[0].#field[0]").rawValue);
if (check == null)
    app.alert("Everything's fine!");
else
    app.alert("Entering digits is not allowed!");
You may want to replace
#subform[0] with the name of the subform the field to check is located in and
#field[0] with the name of the field to check for digits.
Also, you may want to select any of the regular expressions, which fits best your needs. See comment in the above code-fragement for further information.

Steve

Spry for validating text fields

I'm using CS5
Thanks in advance

Have you considered a Selection List?
<form>
Select One:
<select name="Qty">
<option selected="selected">Qty:</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="25">25</option>
<option value="50">50</option>
<option value="100">100</option>
<option value="500">500</option>
<option value="1000">1000</option>
</select>

Spry Validation Text Field widget

I want to make sure users insert a properly formatted email
address, which I found out how to do here.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/1.4/help.html?content=WSC7D22C22-1123-4e9b-8218-F317C DD39F2B.html
The problem is that when the user inserts an invalid email
address the text box stays red but no error message displays. How
do I go about having the error message show. Right now it only
shows if they leave the box blank.

I went to
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/formsvalidation/
to try to get an idea how they did their form and they have check
marks and x to better define their section. It seems all the
customizing requires knowledge of Javascript which I am not too
strong in. I guess there is no menu driven method to duplicate that
form.
Looks like nobody else has played with form validation
either.

Validation Text Field widget to validate zip

How do you validate a zip code to allow either a regular zip
or a zip + 4. I do not see how to use an "or" validation for the
format("zip_us5" or "zip_us9")? Also, an example of using a regular
expression to do a custom validation would be nice.
Thanks

If u take a closer look to that page, u will see that Spry
Allows custom validations: (check the source of the file)
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
So this might be the solution for u.
I don't think Spry supports double validations.. Atleast i
wouldnt have a clue how, unless.... u use the custom validation
function ;o

Spry validation text field across two columns in a table?

I have a table with two columns. I can easily insert a spry validated text field into the left cell but when I drag the box over so that box is in the right column and the label is still in the left column then that breaks the widget.
Is this even possible for me to do or do I have to put the widget in just one column?

Think I figured it out.

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

Using Item UIDRef, can we get data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item

Hi all,
I have a Item UIDRef but facing a problem for getting data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item.
What I did:
- Getting the pointer "IMainItemTOPData" using item UIDRef as
InterfacePtr<IMainItemTOPData> mainItemTOPData(shapesUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
- This interface has the method GetTOPOptionData () which return ITOPOptionsData pointer
- But SDK don't have "ITOPOptionsData" class implementation.
Second Approch:
- Used "ITextOnPathSelectionSuite" and getting the correct result for Desktop plugin.But I want the correct result in server plugin also.
Anyone who has an idea how to get this using UIDRef, please let me know.
Regards,
Jitendra Kumar Singh

Hi Pulse,
Unfortunately, Flex doesn't currently support text on a path. However, I binged it and found this:

Using JavaScript to set value of Spry validated text field

Why can't the value of a text field be set using JavaScript
when it's validated using the Spry validation widget.
Example (this works):
<select name="birthdate_month" id="birthdate_month"
onChange="document.getElementById('birthdate').value = 'test';">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="birthdate" id="birthdate"
value="">
Example (this doesnt work):
<select name="birthdate_month" id="birthdate_month"
onChange="document.getElementById('birthdate').value = 'test';">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
</select>
<span id="birthdate">
<input type="text" name="birthdate" id="birthdate"
value="">
<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">please enter your
birthday</span>
</span>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Is there a way to change the value of a Spry validated text
field using JavaScript?
Thanks.

How to set fixed size for inputfile text field

Hi all,
I am using inputfile component to test file uploading so I created a simple upload page. When I finished upload the file, the input text field will "shrink" its size and change the size to adjust the file name. Is there any way to set a fix size for input text field?
Here is some part of the code:
<af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">
<af:panelHeader text="File Uploader" id="ph1">
<af:inputFile label="File to upload" id="if1" autoSubmit="true" valueChangeListener="#{fileBean.fileUpdate}"
value="#{fileBean.file}" partialTriggers="if1"
columns="50"/>
</af:panelHeader>
<af:commandButton text="Save" id="cb1"/>
FileBean:
public void fileUpdate(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
RichInputFile inputFileComponent = (RichInputFile)valueChangeEvent.getComponent();
UploadedFile newFile = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
UploadedFile oldFile = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getOldValue();
Thanks,
Jerry

you can set columns attribute in af:inputfile. Please see highlighted area i have inserted to you code
<af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">
<af:panelHeader text="File Uploader" id="ph1" columns = "34" >
<af:inputFile label="File to upload" id="if1" autoSubmit="true" valueChangeListener="#{fileBean.fileUpdate}"
value="#{fileBean.file}" partialTriggers="if1"
columns="50"/>
</af:panelHeader>
<af:commandButton text="Save" id="cb1"/>

InDesign CS6 how to set justification for form text field?

Hi everyone,
I've been playing with the ability to create form for PDF file but I haven't figure out how to set a center justification for a text field. By default it's left. Same thing for font, the one selected in InDesign while creating the form isn't used when editing the form in Acrobat.
Do I need to create a paragraph style with a specific name to preserve both attributes?
Thanks.

InDesign CS6's forms features are great, but you're looking as version 1.0 of the feature. Those features cannot be set in InDesign.
Furthermore, if you try to pick a font other than the standard ones at the top of the menu, don't expect that your form users will be able to pick those fonts when they open up the form in Reader or Acrobat. I'm pretty sure that custom fonts are not stored in the PDF form.

Default gutter width for drawing text boxes for overset text

I have master pages that were created with columns and the correct gutter width we want. When I drag a story from a window (a window that is part of our CMS) and place it on the page, the gutters between the text columns are correct -- p9 (or 0.125 inches). But if I draw a new text box or if I click the red plus to draw a text box for overset text, the gutter is a full pica (or 0.1667 inches).
I want any text box that is drawn on the page or any overset text box that is drawn to default to p9 for gutters.
I don't want to manually change the gutter for every new text box I draw.
I'm using ID with CS4.
Thank you.

The default gutter in a multi-column frame is set in the object style under Text Frame General Options. If you haven't defined any new styles you only need to edit the [Basic Text Frame] style. New frames will use the new gutter value when you add columns. If you have object styles for other text frames, you'll need to edit those, too. For existing frames, if the number of columns has been changed manually, you will need to reset the gutter.
