A limit using a comb in a text field

I have a text field that has a comb of 6 characters. Users must input either a 5 or 6 characters in this field. Is there a way to give an error if the user does not enter at least 5 characters?

Thanks for you help,

PARRE

Try this code in the output event of the field with JavaScript as the language of...

If (TextField1.rawValue.length<>

xfa.host.messageBox ("the length of the field should be minimum 5 characters");

xfa.host.setFocus (this);

}

Thank you

  • How to use Javascript to populate a text field based on a selection in a drop-down list?

    Greetings,

    I have virtually no experience with JavaScript and I'm trying to find a way to add some functionality to basic Automation to a form of Adobe.  I have a drop down box called "Hospital_Name" which will contain about 7 possible selections.  When the user makes a selection, I would like to have the field of text (called "Hospital_Address") under the drop-down list fill with the corresponding address to the selection.  I have the "Hospital_Address" text field set up for multiple lines and want the address to have a line break between the address and the city/province/postal code.

    For example, if the user has selected "Hospital 1", the text field would display:

    123 main St

    Anytown, CA 12345

    Help or you can provide examples would be greatly appreciated.

  • Do I need to use javascript to get a text field in a PDF Tue Fill form with / date of the current day?

    I have a form for booking appointments, and here the date field to fill automatically with

    today's date and print it. I put in the format of the text field 'Date' and when I place the cursor in the

    today's date date field, poster. It disappears as soon as I tab to the next field.

    This action does need a javascript script to fill and print today's date? If Yes, where can I find that?

    Or y at - it another way to fit the text field (not counting as the current date by typing) to get the current date?

    Thank you.

    See example Acrobat JavaScript by Chris Dahl. The script can be an action script open document level or page to insert the date when the PDF file is open or use as a print action to fill the date just before printing the form. And the formatting of the field is 'None' because JavaScript applies the formatting.

  • How to show a drop down of the flags used when typing in a text field?

    Hi all

    I want to show a fall to the bottom of the channels that are marked by characters that are typed into an input field and I do not have a nail how to solve this problem, does anyone have a nail?

    Strings marked are the result of a database query

    It seems that what you're looking for is an AutoComplete widget. Dreamweaver is not a built-in function to create a. You can probably find one by doing a Google search for semi-automatic before YUI or jQuery autocomplete. Your success in its application will greatly depend on your JavaScript skills.

    I've never used an AutoComplete widget, so I can't offer advice. I'm sorry.

  • Limit of characters in the text field (multiline). Is this true or am I dreaming?

    Hello

    I use the plugin CKEDITOR with my text entries and when dough stylized text, attributes, and other things like customers are created by increasing the number of characters in textarea html sense cannot be complete if we limit characters in the article multiline text field web app.

    A lot of pages break when the web application retrieves these fields in the details of page layout view, because html is not complete in the text field.

    Then text field for Web (Multiline) application has the limit of characters, or maybe I am doing something wrong?

    What it takes to get rid of this limit?

    Thank you

  • List drop-down selection trigger change in the text field

    I'm hit a roadblock here. I'm on Adobe Acrobat XI and here's the scenario: I have a list box and a text box.

    Drop-down menu field has 3 caps (A, B, C).

    If A is selected, the text box = 15 default, but has the ability to change in the text box.

    If B or C is selected, the text box = 0 or "by default, but it has the ability to change in the text box.

    If I use an if/then with a .value, I'll be able to get the numbers to work, but do not have the ability to edit and keep them there. If I enter another number in another area, the JavaScript code will run and change the text box to 0 or 15.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Instead to use script logic for the text field, use the drop-down validation script. In this way, that it only will be triggered when you change the value in the drop-down list field, not when you change any field in the file (as the calculation script).

  • How to center the characters inside the cells of the comb field (text field)?

    Hello gurus,

    [Intro]

    I'm working on the preparation of the legal form of the income tax.  Due to the structure of the sophisticated form and the request of the client to prepare for the return of enormous size (more), I decided to redo the obsolete form using option "comb of" in order to reduce the size of the source and prevent problems with memory allocation on the client side.

    [Issue details]

    Legal obligation is to have the Courier New 16pt 18pt police and cells of the size of some.

    This is how the form provided by the tax authorities looks like:

    adobe1.png

    Here you can see that the characters are somehow centred inside the cells, but when I create the comb in my livecycle designer, it is not the case and I have another layout:

    adobe2.png

    Look at how the letters are placed inside the cells. After some research I discovered that there is a left margin that still exists in every cell of the comb, probably triggered by the border. Tried to edit the XML source but has not reached a significant success. The issue is not caused by the narrowness of the cells and but even with the very broad.

    Here's my current XML:

              <field h="5.7mm" name="STR_230_TOT_TX" w="60mm" x="4.264278in" y="4.458417in" anchorType="middleCenter">
                   <ui>
                      <textEdit hScrollPolicy="off">
                         <border hand="right">
                            <edge stroke="dotted"/>
                            <corner stroke="dotted" thickness="0.176mm"/>
                         </border>
                         <margin bottomInset="0mm" leftInset="0mm" rightInset="0mm" topInset="0mm"/>
                         <para hAlign="left" vAlign="top"/>
                         <comb numberOfCells="15"/>
                      </textEdit>
                   </ui>
                   <font size="16pt" typeface="Courier New"/>
                   <margin bottomInset="0mm" leftInset="0mm" rightInset="0mm" topInset="0mm"/>
                   <bind match="dataRef" ref="N140_TAX_AMOUNT"/>
                   <assist>
                      <speak disable="1"/>
                   </assist>
                </field>
    

    That's how comb field is supposed to be rendered (screenshot of documentation):

    adobe3.png

    Everything is centered and it's supposed to behavior to see.

    Are there possible solutions how to put tanks in the center of the cell?

    Hi Igor,.

    It's the police that you use that is causing the problem.

    I found it weird, your problem, so I did quickly a form with a text field with a comb.  I have not had the problem.

    So I took your snippet and added to my shape, so I have the same problem.  You use the new Courier, a policy that has the same width for all characters.  I don't know why the problem is as for me it should be in the Center as for all other fonts.  I would count this as a bug to support.

    I know that's not a solution for you, but this seems to be the root of the problem.  Maybe you can find another font, like Courier New, but has no width fixed.  I looked and it seems that there is a font called depicted, which uses the same letters, but is proportional.  The police is not downloadable for free, so I can't test for now.  Another page says this: "there is a proportional font that looks a bit like Courier. 'S called it American Typewriter. "Yet once again, I have not tested.

    • Depicted Serif is a proportional font by using Courier characters as a base.

  • How to limit the length of a text field in a dialog box (ADM)

    Hi all

    I need to limit the length of a field in a dialog box (ADM) edit_text, but char_limit doesn't seem to work, it's my code the problem ?

    {
    char_width: 8.
    height: 100,.
    item_id: 'Rete ',.
    type: 'edit_text. "
    Multiline: true,
    char_limit: 5.
    Width: 500,
    }

    If not, maybe I can use events to do the same thing with the onKeyStroke event but I don't know how to use the event in a dialog box (ADM) or if it is still possible...

    Any idea?

    Thank you for your help.

    Phil

    There are two events that can be used to check the length of the text,

    The first is the action event for the text field, which is called when the field loses focus, it is a member of the purpose of dialogue with the same name as the item_id.  This event could also be used to update another field in the dialog box that indicates the number of characters, you may even have a small picture of alert which becomes visible to make it obvious that there is a problem.

    The other event, as already mentioned, is the validate event.  This allows to block the exit from the dialog box and display a popup to alert to the user.

    You will find some examples of dialogs here:

    http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/65.cfm

    Take a look at the pages resize tool dialog box.  It will give you some ideas of what can be done.

    There is a plug-in Acrobat for creating dialogs here:

  • Can I limit the number of lines of text entered into a TextArea?

    Hello

    I use Flex Builder 2 to create an application that allows users to enter text in different TextAreas and eventually create a PDF file with their different text. My only problem is that I can't limit the number of lines of text used in each text box. I can limit characters by using maxChar, but this does not take into account a user entering multiple presses "return" - this does not affect the character limit, but can result in the final PDF layout (spitting the text on page 2).

    Is there a way to keep track and limit the number of lines of text in a text box (in Flex 2)?

    (Ideally I won't disable the ability for users to use the 'back' button to create several paragraphs)

    There is no easy way to do it. You need to move the text fields more apart and if there are static elements, then you will need to use the tool edit text & Images to move them, separately.
