XMII/HTML Scan Input

Hello All,
Does XMII have the ability to use scanned data as input parameters on the irpt pages for mobile devices.
To Elaborate: I have a simple IRPT page with a text box and a button. When the user puts in an equipment number in the text box and submits a query is returned based on the input parameter. Now instead of typing in the equipment number, is it possible to scan (we have an intermec cn3 device) the number and can that scanned number somehow be used as the query parameter.
I'm not sure if this question belongs on the XMII forum or it may be more of an html/cn3 related question but any nudge in the right direction is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahwish

The function of a barcode input device is to decode the barcode into text and place that text wherever the cursor happens to be. So for example, in your web page, if the text cursor is in the input box and you scan in a barcode to that device, the scanner should convert the barcode to text and enter the decoded text in the input box. The user will then hit the button to perform whatever action.
Also note that some barcode scanners can be configured to perform some action after each scan. So for example, depending on your barcode scanner, you could configure it to simulate a "Enter" command. This would allow the user to scan a barcode and then scanner would place the decoded text in the input box and then fire a Enter command (thus virtually clicking the button).

PL/SQL Utility for Sanitizing HTML User Input

I would like to allow my users to include a limited set of HTML tags in there text input. Does anyone have a PL/SQL utility they would be willing to share that scans a string and "sanitizes" it by escaping tags that do not belong to a set of programmer defined set of allowed tags? Something like what is mentioned in this post for Ruby: http://ideoplex.com/id/1138/sanitize-html-in-ruby.
Any related suggestions or techniques are much appreciated!
Thanks,

Hello,
My currently limited knowledge of APEX makes me think that this should be done using Javascript, called from the PL/SQL area. Assuming that you know a little about javascript, and that you are using a html form for input, you can insert some javascript to do the encoding. Here is some information on how to call a javascript from PL/SQL:
http://apexwonder.blogspot.com/2007/10/apex-plsql-html-javascript-part-2.html
Also, check this site for some information on javascript encoding:

Photo or scan input into a PDF form using Camera by the user

If it hasn't already been done can I request a thought to creating a tool that requests the camera (or scanner) to take a image of a device's serial number or compliance plate or even someone portrait then input's into a form, and needs to be IOS, ANDROID or PC Compatable ?
Had a look and there is some HTML that says it opens a cam but doesn't seem to be able to add this into PDF buttons (probably me!) so if any one has some thought in an "Action" or create some java that could create this tool it would be very handy enhancement for inputting to PDF documents ...
HTML script found for image capture: <input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="camera">
Any Ideas? Thanks in advance H

Hi pault36225916,
As per my understanding, you are using Acrobat X and want to add images directly into the PD document (correct me if I am wrong, please).
If so, then you can follow the steps given below:
1. Go to Tools > Content > Edit Object Tool
2. Right-click the page and choose Place Image
3. Choose any of these image formats: bmp, jpeg, gif, pcx, png, jpeg2000 or tiff
4. Select an image file and click open.
A copy of an image file appears on the PDF page with the same resolution as the original one.
Hope the above information helps you.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Anubha

Help... Populate pdf form fields with html form inputs.

I have a website that allows users to choose the pdf document they want and create. After selecting which pdf they want to create they are redirected to a web page with a html form. The html form has questions that corresponds with the the form fields of the pdf document the user selected. When submitted the code (ASP, PHP whatever is the easier) runs a script that populates the pdf document form fields. The user is then prompted if they want to save or open the document. The newly created pdfs and the user inputs do not need to be saved on the server.
I create the pdf templates using PDF 6.0 professional
Server can be windows or linux
I understand ASP a little but will use whatever is feasible
Purchasing a program is okay as long as its reasonable and is changeable by me and I have full control.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
John

Cannot view HTML form input entry in Firefox.

I have a basic html form embedded in a Wordpress footer widget to collect email addresses and I can place the cursor in the input field (there is only one input field) but I cannot see what I'm typing. If I enter an invalid email address (without being able to see what I'm typing) and hit the submit button I can see on the error page (since a valid email address is required) what I originally typed. The URL is askdrkyle.com and the form is on the left hand side of the footer.
I do not have this problem in any other browser.
Thanks!

I figured it out. I had adjusted the height of the input element to a height that did not work well with the padding. Once I removed the height style and adjusted the padding I got the size I wanted and can see the text as it should be.
Thanks for your help forgottengods!

Metrics,monitoring security in xMII and Scan groups

Hi all
How does scan groups work ? (e.g. 5MIN, 15MIN etc.) Can the user choose his own time interval, e.g. he wants to schedule something to be run every 25 minutes, but we don't want to define scan groups for every possible time interval, Can we let the user control and enter the time interval he wants (e.g. every 35 minutes etc.)?
How does security work in xmii with respect to metrics and monitors. If the user is given access to this metrics screen so he can create his own metrics, what kind of security is required and is there any issues if we do it ?
I believe the metrics and monitoring are stored in a database, whatever database we specify when installing xMII ActivePortal. Please let me know into how does it get stored. Can we manually add/change information in those tables to create own metrics instead of going through the xMII metrics screen.
i want to understand whether we should give the users xMII screen to maintain themselves, or we need to build something customized
thanks
Veeresh

Hi Veeresh,
talking about Metrics Alert and Services it is very important to give an information about the xMII version you use.
Reason: Between 11.5 and 12.0 there is a technical change how Scan Groups will be processed. 11.5 uses Windows Schedules of the Operating System. 12.0 uses scheduled Transactions.
The Metrics Alert and Services are given as they are and I do not recommend to do any modifications to the original pages.
Regarding your question about the security:
You openend already a thread to discuss this:
[Monitors and Metrics]
Please ask only one question per thread.
Information regarding Metrics Alert and Services are stored in the Active Portal Database. Of course you can write into this tables creating you own userinterface - at your own risk of course. That's the way it normally works if you make changes to the standard.
Ciao

PHP/HTML: Returning input from a text box in a sub-array of the $_POST array?

I have a page for entering/editing the data for a table of
contacts, and would like to be
able to compare the data for two different entries.
Conceptually the simplest way to do
this would be to load two identical copies of the same page,
and have each copy return its
results in a separate sub array in the $_POST array.
For example I have an input which returns a value
$_POST['address']. Is there any simple
way whereby I could instruct this input to return
$_POST['entry_1']['address'] in the
first copy, and $_POST['entry_2']['address'] in the second
copy?
A similar question relates to fields which have sub entries.
At present I encode these
into the name of the return value (for example 'al1' in the
case below), and have to
decode them before I can put the results into the right box,
but it would make things much
simpler -- and therefore easier to understand and less error
prone -- if I could return
$_POST['address']['line_1'] and so on directly.

Thanks, Joe,
This is interesting, but not really what I was looking for.
It might be helpful for
entering the results from one page, but it doesn't really
help in separating the outputs
from two copies of the same page. I suppose, though, I could
count the number of (say)
'address' responses, and divide by the number of identical
pages. Then I would know at
terms 0 to 3 belong to the first page, and 4 to 7 to the
second -- provided I always had
the same number of items on each copy of the page, which
ain't necessarily so!
However I doubt whether this is any simpler than the
alternative of encoding the page
number into the name of the variable.

Using the value "Image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of preconfigured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .?

On a form, using the value "image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of pre-configured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .ico, .svg, .svgz, .tif, .tiff, .ai, .drw, .pct, .psp, .xcf, .psd, .raw)?
Say I wanted to add .gif, .jfif or .ico. I find this array limited, how can I add types to image?
<input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*" id="file" />
mimeTypes.rdf does not seem to allow this.

''mimeTypes.rdf'' has nothing to do with web development. It's a file that stores your file handling preferences (e.g. if you want ZIP files automatically saved or opened).
You can't change the file types of the pre-defined content specifiers (audio/*, video/*, image/*), but you can specify additional MIME types. To add PDF to your above example,
<pre><nowiki><input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*,application/pdf" id="file" /></nowiki></pre>

XMII and RS-232 communication

As most of us are aware xMII does not support RS-232 communication. Recently some customers have come up with requirements of interfacing weigh scales to SAP.
Most of these weigh scales have only the RS-232 interfacing option. (I am not sure if these could be OPC compliant as well.. Some higher and expensive ones come with a software version which I guess can be configured to write a file or some come even with a Database Option.)
With xMII 12 would it be possible, lets say, to write a custom action 'RS-232 Listner' which could allow this to happen?
What are SAP's thoughts on this?

Yes, this is a common request. I think in part because sometimes customers get the impression that xMII can do this from the "sales force" and can do it "easily".
We had some luck with this in the past.
Sometimes what we have seen in the past, is that the rs-232 devices have a transmit or send button that sends a signal back to a pc that the device is attached to. If you use an application like WinWedge that takes the signal from the device and decodes it to text, it can be used to get the information. WinWedge typically comes with handheld USB or Serial barcode scanners. It's main purpose is to take the signal from the device and "pop" it into the active window's cursor location. So if you scan a barcode with Word open and active, the barcode scanner sends the signal to WinWedge on the PC, WinWedge translates the signal to text and throws in at the cursor location.
If your cursor is in an HTML form input box, and you can capture the data as descibed above, now you can use the data via Javascript and pass it to an applet on the page.

AutoSuggest Menu On Input Focus?

I currently am using Spry's autosuggest widgets on various
text inputs. Its convenient in that I can give the user the
flexibility of typing whatever they want (the html text input) but
provide a list of suggestions for pre-existing categories (the
autosuggest widget). Its the best of an html selector and text
input put together.
However, I can't seem to get the autosuggest widget to
provide the drop down list of options as soon as the text input
gains focus on the page. Even when setting the minCharsType setting
to 0 I have to enter at least one character before I get the
autosuggest drop down.
Ideally what I'd like to happen is that as soon as a person
click into the text input with the mouse or tabs in from another
field the autosuggest presents the user with all possible
suggestions, updating per character as it currently does
afterwards.
How do I get the autosuggest widget to appear when its text
input gains focus?

How can an applet retrieve the values of a HTML form shown in a JEditorPane

Hi,
I'm doing an applet that contains a JTree and a JEditorPane
among other components. Each node of the JTree represents some
information that is stored in a database, and whenever a JTree
node is selected, this information is recovered and shown in
the JEditorPane with a html form. To make the html form,
the applet calls a servlet, which retrieves the information of
the node selected from the database. This information is stored
like a XML string, and using XSLT, the servlet sends the html
form to the applet, which shows it in the JEditorPane.
My problem is that I don't know how I can recover new values
that a user of the application can introduce in the input fields
of the html form. I need to recover this new values and send them
to another servlet which store the information in the database.
If someone could help me I'd be very pleased.

Pete:
Remove the name attributes from all input elements defined by the pl/sql process. For example
<input name="company" type="Text" size="30"/> should be replaced by <input type="Text" size="30"/> or <input name="f01" type="Text" size="30"/>
The APEX accept process recognises a predefined set of HTML form input names. Any input with a name not from this set will cause the accept process to fail. f01 through f50 are valid names for the accept procedure.

Firefox 4 does not validate REGEX in "pattern" attribute of INPUT (type = text) when diacritic characters are includes (Chrome does).

Using HTML5 and Firefox 4.0.1, following code :
<form>
<input type="text" name="my_input"
pattern="^[A-Z]([a-zA-Zçéèâêîôûäëïöü-]{1,47}|.)" />
</form>
fails to validate input like "François" or "André" but "Francois" ou "André" is accepted. The problèm occurs with string including any diacritic character.
(The REGEX validates using "Expresso" Regular Expression Editor.)

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/element/input

How to load local html-file into webBrowser tool? [SDK 6.5]

The webbroser tool lets you load an external html by inputting the adress in its "Url"-property.
But how do you load a local html-file that is added to your project? Lets say the path is: Folder1/Subfolder1/Webpage1.html. What would I put in the Url-property to make this work?
While on this subject, what is the support for css and javascript when using locally loaded webpages in the webbrowser?

Thanks for the answer Malleswar, but I have now played around with all variations of that code-line that I can think of, but still I can not locate the html-file that is located within the project. Since Im planning to distribute the html-files with the executable (as one file) it should read it directly from wherever the application is installed.
The html-file is included within the project. Solution Explorer -> Solution 'myProject' -> myProject -> Webpage1.html
Which is (as usual) also where the Form1.cs (which contains the webBrowser-component) is located.
Any ideas of how the Uri should be constructed in this case?
Thanks,
Daniel
