Yoga 13 MSIE10 can't type into text fields

New machine Feb 2013 used exclusively in laptop mode. Has been great overall but right out of the box I could not type text into any form fields using Internet Explorer 10. What an intro to Windows 8! Discovered I can type text in notepad, then copy and paste it into fields but cannot enter it directly. This was happening with the factory installed software so if it's a third party app conflict it's one that's original equipment. Thankfully Chrome works fine, but sometimes I need to use MSIE and am quickly reminded why I can't.
Google and Lenovo forums are mum on this subject. Some suggestions pointed to SFC /scannow, which came up with a litany of things it couldn't fix. Enhanced protected mode in MSIE also did not help. Didn't appear possible to reinstall MSIE (where's the DOJ when you need them?) What's next? Thank you all for your assistance.

hi dserdu,
Welcome to the Forums.
Are you having this issue on the desktop version of I.E. or the Metro version?
- if the issue only happens on the metro IE, try to open the Desktop I.E. > press ALT+T > choose Internet options. On the Internet Options, go to the Programs Tab, set I.E. to Always and check the box "Open Internet Explorer tiles on the desktop"
- Link to picture
Alternatively, if the issue is compatibility between the website and the I.E. versions, you can run I.E. 10 in compatibility mode or on a lower version (i.e. I.E. 9, I.E. 8., ...etc.). To do this:
1. Open the Desktop I.E. and press F12
2. On the developer tools, choose Browser Mode IE 10 and choose an I.E. version (i.e. IE 9)
- Link to picture
3. When dnoe, press F12 again and observe if you can now type into text fields.
Let me know your findings
Regards

Periodically can't type in text field

We just rolled out 9 new Mac Minis and all are having this problem, but I don't know if it's the hardware of the OS (10.5.1). All users are complaining about this, though older machines are not exhibiting this problem.
When they are working in various programs (but all are PPC binaries), suddenly they can not type in a text field (i.e., in a cell in Excel or in a text or number field in Quickbooks). The solution is to click outside the current field, then click back into the field and they can type again. But it happens enough to be very annoying.
I called Apple support and they claim to never have heard of this problem (but then they always say that even when a fix appears on the 'net later that day).
Any ideas?
Thanks...

I have a similar problem and it is ******* me off.
I bought IK multimedia ARC and on my powerbook G4 running 10.5.1 all is fine however, on my macbook pro running same system I can't type the preset name which means I can't use ARC for now.
I also noticed a similar problem while using sibelius 5.1 and trying to type in a name for a preset of the playback devices. I can type but only one character every second or so and I must hold on the key for a wile, resulting in multiple characters, then deleting the extras!! strange.

How can I type into a text window on top of a box?

Hi gang. When I create a box (for example, a sidebar b/g) then create a text box on top of it, I can't type into that box unless I drag it off to the side, away from the b/g box (or layer, since we're not talking Quark) as the text just hops over to the b/g layer. Is there something I need to check or uncheck? It's driving me crazy. TIA

I then create a text box on top of it using the rectangle tool. I then click on that box and/or attempt top type into it, after clicking on the Text tool and the text won't type into it.
OK, I think I see what's going on. Use the Text tool to make the text frame, not the Rectangle tool. Becasue the rectanlge has no fill, and is not expecting text by default, when you click inside it you are really clicking in the filled background frame.
Of course, ther'e generally no reason to put a text frame on top of a native rectangle object like this you could just use the yellow frame, add some insets to position the text where you want it, and forget about the second frame on top.

How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

I am creating a request for proposal form and I need to add a commission structure field. I created a table using the ranking field and now I need to delete the "dots/buttons" and turn them into text fields, is this possible?

It sounds like what you are trying to do is edit the choices in a likert field to something other than the default radio button. This is not something that you can do in Formscentral at this time.

How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
          f.setSize( 500, 500 );
          ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
          MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
          f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          f.setVisible( true );
     public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
          public MyListener() {}
          public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
               System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
               // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

Here is one solution:
// mouse up action for submit button;
function GetField(cName) {
// get field object for cName field with error checking;
var oField = this.getField(cName);
if(oField == null) app.alert("Error accessing field named " + cName + "\nPleae verigy field name, spelling and capitalizeation.", 1, 0);
return oField;
} // end GetField function;
var oPhone = GetField("phone");
oPhone.required = oPhone.value == oPhone.defaultValue;
var oEmail = GetField("email");
oEmail.required = oEmail.value == oEmail.defaultValue;
if(oPhone.required && oEmail.required) {
app.alert("Missing required fields.", 1, 0);
} else {
app.alert("Submitting form", 3, 0);
// additional code for submission;

I'm not able it to type into the field for the serial number.

I have a Mac Book. I purchased a download card from Fry's. After pressing "accept" for the terms on my computer I'm not able it to type into the field for the serial number. What's wrong?

Are you sure it's a serial number and not a redemption code? A PSE serial number is 24 digits beginning with 1057. If you have a redemption code, here's what you need to do:

I can't type bold-text in Japanese using HTMLEditor

I am using JAVAFX to develop tool.
While I create a screen of HTMLEditor in eclipse,
It does not be "bold-text" when I enter Japanese, although I'm pressing the "Bold-button".
At this moment, I'm choosing the font, MS Gothic, PGothic,
it does not be bold either.
I can type English in bold-text, but I can't type bold-text in Japanese.
I appreciate if you tell me the reason why this thing happens.
Is this kind of a "bug" in the HTMLEditor?
Or somekind of setting problem?

Hi all I am using Jbuilder 7 can not type into jlist. Why!!

Hi there
can anyone tell me why when I compile my code all works.
I can't type into my jlist
WHY??
please someone
Craig

Maybe I'm missing something, but JLists are made from arrays, vectors, or objects with a constructor or by adding those items to an already created JList. I've not seen where you can type directly into the list, unless programatically implemented.

Why can't I type in text fields without first hitting the Tab Key?

I have Version 32.0.1700.77 running on a Mac. This problem started with Firefox a little while back and no amount of updates or uninstalling/reinstalling has fixed it. And therefore I have switched to Chrome.
When using Firefox, any text field, including the address bar, will not allow me to type into it. I will get a BONK sound. Once I hit the Tab Key, I can begin typing. But if I stop typing and click any other area, then come back to the text field, I must again hit the Tab Key. Or if I want to edit the text field, I can highlight a word, but for it to delete, I have to hit the tab Key then hit Delete.
Why is it doing this?

hello, please try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...

Data type mismatch when inserting into text field

Hello all,
Using VB script and ASP.
I have a page that inserts into a field (casenum) in a table (clientsw) in a database. The field (casenum) in the table is data type TEXT :
I create a recordset and then an insert statement which the following is part of:
Code to insert the casenum into the field
rsClients("Casenum")=Right(Date(),2) & "E-100" & rsCasenumber("countervalue")
It inserts a number like 09E-1004500
I then have code that takes that string and passes it to the next page as a variable
Session("UserID")=rsClients("CASENUM")
response.redirect "done3.asp"
When it gets to the next page it is assigned as UserID
Dim svuserid
svuserid = "0"
if (Session("UserID") <> "") then svuserid = Session("UserID")
%>
My information inserts into the database exactly as I want it, but when it gets to the next page I get an error that is displayed that says the following:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07'
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
/done3.asp, line 16
My code on the second page is as follows:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>

<%
Dim svuserid
svuserid = "0"
if (Session("UserID") <> "") then svuserid = Session("UserID")
%>
<%
set rsClients = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsClients.ActiveConnection = MM_connNewdatabase_STRING
rsClients.Source = "SELECT * FROM CLIENTSW WHERE CASENUM=" + Replace(svuserid, "'", "''") + " ORDER BY CASENUM"
rsClients.CursorType = 0
rsClients.CursorLocation = 2
rsClients.LockType = 3
rsClients.Open()
rsClients_numRows = 0
%>
Line 16 is the one that says rsClients.Open()
If I take the concatenation out of rsClients("Casenum")=Right(Date(),2) & "E-100" & rsCasenumber("countervalue") and have only rsClients("Casenum")=rsCasenumber("countervalue") and change the table field to number, I don't get the "datatype mismatch error"
What do I change to enable me to leave the above statement concatenated and insert into the table correctly and complete the stuff on the next page?

>This is an access database, varchar is not an option for a datatype.
Sorry. In another thread I thought you mentioned using SQL Server
>I changed the + signed to ampersands instead and it doesn't make a difference.
I didn't think that was the problem. I was just pointing out that it's a bad practice. If you use the '+' on two strings that can evaluate as numeric, it will actually add rather than concat them.

What is the idea of having STRING type when you can't write into that field

Hello friends
I am desperately trying to write to a field of a database table with DATA TYPE 'STRING'.
When I try to write it using a program from < SE38> or a function <SE37>, I get following error message, while activating the program.
============================================================
<DATABASE_TABLE> must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,
strings, references, or structures as components.
============================================================
So, I have been going in circle to find out how to write a string into this field.
I can't use the CHAR or any such type with a limited field length, since the requirement from my customer is to use a variable length string.
Has anybody seen this problem before and if you have resolved this issue, I would appreciate if you can please let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Ram

Hi Harish
Thanks for your response.
I can create the table with the data type 'String'. However, the problem is when I try to update the table from a program in SE38 or a Function Module in SE37.
When I try to activate the PROGRAM or FUCNTION, I GET A MESSAGE THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER.
Here is the simple program that I have created that I am not able to activate
==========================================
REPORT ZTEST_STRING1.
tables: ztest.
ztest-zid = 2.
ztest-zstring1 = 'ABC'.
insert ztest.
===========================================
ztest has two fields
zid which is NUMC type
and zstring1 which is STRING type.
When I try to activate I get an error message as follows:
'ztest' must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,
strings, references, or structures as components.
