Zip code entry problem
On some websites there is a field requesting a 5 digit zip code. When I type the zip code into the field all 5 digits show--- when I tab to the next field, one of the zip code digits drops out (either first or last) and leaves only 4 digits. The information is returned as incorrect and asks (again) for a 5 digit zip code. What to do ???
I had this problem for a while using Safari to enter ZIP codes into some forms -- but only when the ZIP code started with (at least one) zero. The work-around was to use MS IE for Mac (which I hear is still available, just no longer supported) for those sites. It's probably worth trying FireFox, too.
I don't know whether the real problem is in Safari or in the web sites -- the same version of Safari worked on some sites but not others, so I suspect that the problem lies with the FORM definitions on the affected sites, in which case the real fix would be to convince the site designers to fix their forms.

How to default Contact Zip Code entry to Numeric instead of Alphabetic?
Besides keying in <Alt> <Left-Shift> everytime I want to enter a numeric zip code for a new contact (99.9% of my contact zip codes are purely numeric), is there a configuration option to default Contact Zip Codes to Numeric instead of Alphabetic. I realize RIM's based in Canada, but why default zip code entry to alphabetic?
Solved!
Go to Solution.No, there is not an option to change that.
Many of the world's nations use alphanumeric postal codes.

On several on-line browsers (information entry) when I go to enter a 5 digit zip code, the next field truncates the xip code to 4 digits. How can I enter the proper zip code ?

But, is it possible that the 5th digit is really there, but is hidden from view by the text field space limitation?
To test that theory, can you copy what is there, and then view it in your Clipboard?

Using Safari 1.3.1, whenever I type in my Zip Code (1----) in an address field, the "1" disappears prior to submission. This does not occur with Zip Codes beginning with "2" or higher. Any suggestions?
MuffinM:
Check this solution out from Byron in a previous forum - I tried it, and it works!
Big Apple Ikey
I was having this problem, too, but I think I just fixed it.
My ZIP is 19119. I had a ZIP+4 in the "My Card" information in Address Book and was having the same results: enter my 5-digit ZIP into a form and Safari lops off the first "1" leaving just "9119" and an unhappy form.
I removed the +4 information from "My Card," leaving just the 5-digit ZIP code. Forms now accept the full 5-digit ZIP with no lop-off.
I re-entered the +4 and the problem resumed. Took it out again, and the problem ceased.
Give this a try, folks. Let us all know if this works. Then write Apple, because it shouldn't work like that.

Problem attempting to validate a simple zip code
Surely I'm missing something obvious but I've defined the validation pattern 'text{99999-9999} | text{99999}' on a text field for zip code entry. If I enter '12345' it works OK but '12345-1234' generates a validation error.
I'm also trying to define a valiation pattern for email addresses such as....
0+'@'0+'.'0+
... and having no luck. It always generates an error.Rob,
You could try the following JavaScript (which uses a 'regular expression' to define a validation pattern) on the *exit event of your e-mail address field. In this example the email adress 'email' is on the first page of the form which has been named 'Page_01'. The names on your form could well be different.
// Validate the email address.
var e_mail = new RegExp();
// Set the regular expression to look for an email address in general form.
e_mail.compile("^[a-z0-9_\\-\\.]+\\@[a-z0-9_\\-\\.]+\\.[a-z]{2,3}$","i");
// Test the rawValue of the current object to see if it fits the general form of an email address.
if (e_mail.test(email.rawValue) == false)
{xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a genuine E-mail Adress.","Invalid Information",0);
xfa.host.setFocus("form1.Page_01.email");
Regular expressions can look pretty daunting, but are a very powerful JavaScript feature that can prove to be invaluable for setting up data validation criteria. Any JavaScript (or Jscript) reference book or on-line tutorial will have a section showing you how to build them.
Hope this helps,

having problem buying online.need your help since it's my first time here.apple is asking for my billing address but when i enter my address here in qatar,it's saying i should enter a valid zip code within the u.s.does it mean i can't buy online even if it wil be shipped within u.s. only?
To buy in for delivery in Qatar, you should be starting from the Apple Qatar site:
http://www.apple.com/qa/
Do you have an Apple-ID? if you do, then you should not have to enter your Address again, and may be able to sidestep the US Zip Code issue. -
Having a problem using Workflow to update a field based on ZIP code
I created a Workflow to update a Yes/No picklist called eligibility based on a Text (Short) field called Applicant ZIP code.
It's set to update on the Opportunity page:
Before modified record saved
And the value function is:
IIf(InStr("60601_60602",[<stApplicant_Zip_Code_ITAG>|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/]+)>0,"Yes","No")+
That was a guess of how to try it while relying on my limited MS SQL & Access knowledge.
It does work correctly using what I did. The problem I have is that I actually need to choose from over 600 ZIP codes. The function window only allows for 256 characters. (And I suspect my way is fairly inelegant for search a multi-thousand character string.)

Zip code Problem (or Frustrated with iTunes "Support")
I have been having a new problem (with an old credit card) on iTunes, where I get the repetitive error that the zip code I've entered does not match the one the bank has for the card. I have ensured that the zip code is correct and checked the bank zip code to make sure that that was done. I have made many, many iTunes purchases with this card, and not had a problem with the zip code previously, and I have not moved or changed the zip code since the last time I tried to make an iTunes purchase. It's not like the zip code would change itself. But I checked to make sure, anyway. I also contacted my bank to ensure there wasn't a hold on that particular card.
This I did before I contacted itunes support. An email to iTunes support explaining the above and specifically stating that the zip code in itunes for that card is correct, and 2 days later, I get a reply instructing me on how to change the zip code for the card in iTunes. I wonder if Apple has any idea how condescending that comes across. Who would waste their time with tech support for an error like that if their zip code was incorrect?
Now, I've recieved 2 more emails on the same track, basically telling me to fix the zip code. I am 100% sure that the zip code in iTunes is correct. I tried to tell the tech "support" person (Johan) this, but he has essentially only told me repeatedly how to fix the zip code on iTunes. (Again, Apple, if you're reading this, that is really rude and condescending, assuming your users are THAT stupid).
Has anybody ever had this error before, and does anybody have a fix for it?
Thank you,
KatyI get the repetitive error that the zip code I've entered does not match the one the bank has for the card
Since you are seeing the same dialog repeatedly, try this.
Launch iTunes on your Mac.
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK
Restart your Mac, launch iTunes. See if you can download a free app. Regardless of whether or not it's free or purchased, you'll still see the login window. -
Org model by State & Zip code - ORGMAN_7 - set default if no entry
Orgman_7 10000164 works well for us. But if no country, state, zip code is found it errors as no org object is found.
How can I set a default org if no country state zip is found?
in CRMC_ORGPROF I set 10000164 as the org model determination rule, then I tried to create a responsibilitiy rule based on document type and added the document type as an attribute in the org model but did not work.
Thanks,
GlennHi Ashish,
In PPOMA_CRM for the organizational elements that represent our sales offices we maintain the Country, State, & Postal Codes (some have hundreds of entries as some states have multiple sales offices in territory, but a single sales office controls a single postal code).
A new customer calls our ICWC and we create a new BP, using ORGMAN_7 works well when the state & zip code exist as an attribute. It finds that sales office and sales org it is assigned to.
If no entry is found, then the ICWC user gets numerous error messages all related to no organization being found. If an order is created it fails to pass to R/3 until we correct the document. Usually done in the GUI as there is no place in the ICWC to update the sales org.
Basically looking to have a dummy office get found if no entry is found in ORGMAN_7. This would allow the order to pass to R/3 and then we could more easily work entries that his the dummy office (update PPOMA_CRM when a bad zip or state combo is entered.) Sometimes is a typo on the user in creating the BP record.
Thanks,
Glenn -
Why is my location city changed by Firefox to a town I don't live in? I put in my zip code in the weather info and it will not hold it no matter what I do. This is very frustrating and never a problem in the past. IE doesn't have the problem. Can anyone help?
1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize? To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
2) What are your sequence settings? Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify. -
This problem is new. I have always been able to access the Weather Channel's website and obtain weather reports for various zip codes. I have Window 7 and use Firefox and Google. I have The Weather Channel as one of my Bookmarks. The site comes up when requested but the three locations that I had listed are not evident and when I type in the zip codes nothing comes up.
Hi there, I have the same problem with my envy 17ts-j100. I was trying to recover and I had a reset failed massage to I powered it off and went to sleep. The laptop won't boot to bios with symptoms as above.
Somebody please help out. -
It keeps telling me my zip code is wrong, I've bought a lot of music with it being the same, never moved, never changed. So I went in my account, re typed everything in..still the same wrong zip code..
Hi,
We had te exact same issue... what you have to do is to add the specific mime type to the exclusion list (parameter is called "NeverCompressed") of the HTTP Provider.
See this for guidance:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/ad/08d52d6d95864492a6a5931bb62716/frameset.htm
I'm not 100% sure but I guess it needs a reboot after this.
Good Luck!

ByteArrayInputStream as source for zip file entry corrupts the ByteArray
Hi All,
I have managed to create and add a (in-memory) zip file as an email attachment. I add a file to the zip file , then push data to this file via a ByteArrayInputStream.
Adding the file (created via ByteArrayInputStream) to an email works perfectly. If i then add another step and zip this file it corrupts the output.
It looks like it is turning the carriage return into a [] . Its 'almost right' as when I cut & paste the contents of the txt file i created (from the zip file) into Word it displays correctly, with the carriage returns. Is it some kind of encoding problem, or mime type issue?
My ByteArrayInputStream uses buf.append("\n"); for carriage returns. I think the problem is with
ByteArrayInputStream baIn = new ByteArrayInputStream( getAttachementNoFormat(eq_rt.getStoredProc()) );where I think i need to encode this somehow. Here is the complete code to create and add the zip file to an email. Any isuggestions will be appreciated.
//START of new ZIP code
/* Specify files to be zipped */
// Create temp file.
//File temp = File.createTempFile(fileName, ".txt");
//temp.deleteOnExit();
//BufferedWriter bOut = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(temp));
//ByteArrayInputStream baInTemp = new ByteArrayInputStream( getAttachementNoFormat(eq_rt.getStoredProc() ) );
//bOut.write( baInTemp.toString() );
//bOut.close();
String[] filesToZip = new String[3];
filesToZip[0] = "C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans3.6\\firstfile.txt";
filesToZip[1] = "C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans3.6\\secondfile.txt";
filesToZip[2] = "C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans3.6\\thirdfile.txt";
final String fileToZip = fileName;
/* Create a memory buffer to store the ByteArray, fixed size */
byte[] buffer = new byte[18024];
/* Specify zip file name */
String zipFileName= eq_rt.getReportName() + ".zip";
try {
/* Create ZipOutputStream to store the FileOutputStream */
// ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zipFileName));
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArray = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(byteArray);
/* Set the compression ratio */
out.setLevel(Deflater.DEFAULT_COMPRESSION);
/* iterate through the array of files, adding each to the zip file */
for (int a = 0; a < filesToZip.length; a++) {
/* Print the filenumber being added to the zip */
System.out.println(a);
/* Associate a file input stream for the current file */
// FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(filesToZip[a]);
This ROCKS as it is passing a array into the text file .getBytes() seems
to be the KEY in getting ByteArrayInputStream to WORK
//String strSocketInput = "TAIWAN";
//ByteArrayInputStream baIn = new ByteArrayInputStream(strSocketInput.getBytes());
//String strSocketInput = new String (getAttachementNoFormat(eq_rt.getStoredProc()).toString() );
//ByteArrayInputStream baIn = new ByteArrayInputStream( getAttachementNoFormat(eq_rt.getStoredProc()) );
ByteArrayInputStream baIn = new ByteArrayInputStream( getAttachementNoFormat(eq_rt.getStoredProc()) );
//String strSocketInput = "TAIWAN";
//ByteArrayInputStream baIn = new ByteArrayInputStream(strSocketInput.getBytes());
/* Add ZIP entry to output stream. */
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(filesToZip[a]));
/* Transfer bytes from the current file to the ZIP file */
int len;
while ((len = baIn.read(buffer)) > 0)
out.write(buffer, 0, len);
/* Close the current entry */
out.closeEntry();
/* Close the current file input stream */
baIn.close();
/* Close the ZipOutPutStream (very important to close the zip before you attach it to the email) Thanks DrClap */
out.close();
/* Create a datasource for email attachment */
// DataSource sourcezip = new FileDataSource(zipFileName);
DataSource sourcezip = new ByteArrayDataSource(byteArray.toByteArray(), zipFileName, "application/gzip" );
/* Create a new MIME bodypart */
BodyPart attachment = new MimeBodyPart();
attachment.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(sourcezip));
attachment.setFileName(zipFileName);
/* attach the attachemnts to the mail */
multipart.addBodyPart(attachment);

iae.printStackTrace();

This is a problem I've started to notice on a bunch of webpages (including newegg.com) with Safari 2.0. Many times Safari will not let me enter my zip code into an HTML form field because it starts with a zero (like about half the zip codes in the U.S. northeast). Let us say my zip code is 02142 -- when I enter it in, Safair "autocorrects" it to "2142" after the control loses focus. Nothing seems to undo this, and I can't find any setting that fixes it. So the site I submit it to says, "Hey, that's not a valid zip code!" I've tried it with Firefox and Internet Explorer and neither seem to do this behavior (so I often have to leave whatever transaction I was trying to go through, open up Internet Explorer, and re-do the entire transaction -- all because Safari doesn't trust me to know what I want to type in).
The HTML code from newegg.com which is doing this: <input name="zipcode1" type="text" size="4" maxlength="5" value=""> So it's nothing in particular about the form coding that I can tell -- it looks like Safari is just assuming that because I'm typing in a number, I can't possibly want it to start with a zero. Which is just ridiculous in a large number of contexts.
Any way to turn this off? It is really getting irritating, and it's the sort of "application knowing what I want to do better than I do" idiocy which I think of being exclusively in the domain of Microsoft products. Which ironically don't seem to have this problem!
NOTE: I am not using an Autofill zip code. I am just trying to enter it in manually.I can confirm this bug (isn't it irritating?). One solution is to use another browser; I've never had this problem in Firefox. Another would be to turn off AutoFill; even though you're not using an AutoFill entry, AutoFill seems to have this unfortunate effect on leading zeros entered manually.
Next time you run across a page that won't take your zip code, click on Safari/Report bugs to Apple and send a bug report. Maybe if enough of us on the East Coast complain, someone will fix it.
