Acrobat 9 - 'Title' for the field to be filled

I am new to create forms with Acrobat, though I'm afraid I don't know the jargon. I apologize in advance.

Is there a way to give a "title" for a field that is only visible until the user selects the field?

For example, if I want to create a section like this:

To: name

Company

Mailing address

City, State, Zip

Phone number

And when you click on "Name" it disappears and I can type my name, etc.

Instead of having to do this:

To: Name: Kat

Company: ABC Co.

Address: 123 Main Street.

City: Timbuktu

State: HI

Zip: 12345

Who is?

I prefer to do it with a custom Format script, like:

Custom Format script for the text field

If (! event.value) {}

Event.Value = "instructional text goes here";

Event.Target.Display = display.noPrint;

} else {}

Event.Target.Display = display.visible;

}

In this way the value of the field is never on the explanatory text and works if the value of the field is set (or reset) by program or by importing form data. In addition, the text is not printed if the user wants to print the form and complete it by hand.

    Alerts are native OS controls and you can not change the titles.

  • Thunderbird will not add addresses for the field in my emails

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you very much

    Jennifer

    He has already worked for you? If so, when did it stop working?

    Such problems are often associated with the entries in the address book in the fields, which usually comes to have imported also addresses and do not match the data fields in the address book in Thunderbird with the fields in the imported data.

    Open your address book and search your Contacts. are in fact all e-mail addresses in a field of email addresses and not elsewhere? "Nicknames" seem to be a common location to misplaced email addresses.

  • Why Firefox Add autocomplete = "off" for the fields of connection of my own web site?

    First of all: it's my own website, my own HTML code.

    When I look at the source code for my login form (both on my server and delivery to the browser), there is no autocomplete = "off" attribute it.

    And yet, when I look at the field using FireBug, I see that autocomplete = "off" there is in the DOM. It is applied to the fields "username" and "password" for me. Thank you, Lord for security mystery!

    Therefore, I can't use the stored credentials of the security apparatus to fill out the form.

    Does anyone know where this attribute is added and how to disable that?

    Again, this is my own code. Thank you!

    You can post a link to a page accessible to the public that doesn't require authentication (signature)?

    Note that scripts can also add such an autocomplete attribute, you should maybe check the generated code or right-click in these areas and use 'Inspect element' or select the fields and use the selection "View Source" from the context menu.

  • Best way to apply the Format mask for the fields in a Table of the ADF

    Hi all

    12.1.3 JDev

    I would like to introduce the price data, quantity etc. fields of the ADF Table of the user interface in a specific format.

    These formats need to be dynamic, because they change according to the locale selected and sometimes they differ in the same locale.

    I tried approach converter custom but not satisfied because it is called several times when it is used in a table of the ADF and when asked that told me that this is the behavior.

    Custom converter of an attribute in a table called several times

    So, please suggest a better way to apply the format mask (which has min & max fractions, grouping, rounding) to the fields in the Table of the ADF.

    Please let me know if you need more information.

    Thank you

    B S Bilodeau.

    The second question, which I've mentioned here is the converter is called several times for each click on the table.

    This isn't a problem, this is the expected behavior (and you can't avoid it).

    Mean you nested groups, first group BUSINESSUNIT and then other group ACCOUNT

    If yes then the internal group based on the ACCOUNT, we could watch as below

  • Asterisk for the fields in a Table bean

    Hi all

    We put some fields in a table that is advanced and the required attribute is 'yes '. But still it is not the asterisk marks on the ground and therefore difficult for our users to distinguish a required field of those non-mandatory. For all other fields that are outside of a bean from the table, if the required attribute is set to yes, then the asterisk appears.

    Is this a limitation of the OPS? or any other justification behind it?

    In the hope of a quick and accurate response to it :-)

    Thank you
    Amit

    Hello Amit,

    For the column you want to make it mandatory, Create ColumnHeader--> sortableHeader on the particular column and set its property indicator required Yes, no, uiOnly or validatorOnly_ according to your requirement.

    > I thought LEFT(tk_job_desc,100) and tk_job_desc

    > AS %s us what he had to go to the SELECT script?

    Yes, but tk_job_desc is not actually in your SELECTION list, so you cannot reference in your php script.  What IS in your SELECTION list is a SQL function that uses tk_job_desc as a parameter. But the name of the column that is returned for this field is unknown and is certainly not tk_job_desc. You must either give it an alias, or make reference to it by its position in the select list. Then try something like:

    SELECT tk_job_title, tk_job_location, tk_job_salary, LEFT(tk_job_desc,100) as truncated_job_desc FROM think_jobsearch WHERE tk_job_title LIKE %s tk_job_location GOLD tk_job_salary GOLD tk_job_desc GOLD AS %s %s AS %s AS

    And then don't forget to use truncated_job_desc in your php script when you view the value.

    Hi friends

    It is possible to display the format of characters in the text field after running the form

    Please I need your help

    Thank you

    Hello
    If you mean for the date field to show slashes by default. I don't think that the forms will support that kind of thing.
    BTW I know what is the purpose of show like that?
    If you are using the normal format is DD/MM/RRRR it will automatically add the slashes. When the user enters a date like this 01012010.
