Adobe LiveCycle upper tiny typed value in a drop-down list

Please let me know if there is a way for a user (someone sent a form created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer to complete and send back) to be able to click on a menu drop down populated list and type a value that corresponds to one of the values in the drop-down list, but for the user do not have to worry about whether or not they type using all capital letters lowercase, or a mixture.

For example, my XML data for this list is a list of over 1200 names as follows:

< text > Jim Nazium < / text >

Chuck Roast < text > < / text >

< text > George Towne < / text >

etc...

I would like the user to be able to type "Geo" or "GEO" or "geo" and taking the part of the drop-down list for the first George, it is a...

Thank you

I used to do this workaround was to make the data all uppercase and then forcing user uppercase input.

To force the capital letters, you can use the following on the change event:

XFA. Event.change = xfa.event.change.toUpperCase ();

    Hello experts,

    I use Adobe Forms in SAP.

    My question is, is there a any restriction for additem keyword in JavaScript?

    I mean, even if I use the keyword additem to add the name and value of a drop-down list, it adds up to 10000 files only.

    Please sugest

    A drop-down list is the bad INTERFACE design where an element can contain more than 100 entries. It is very good in tests, but absolutely unacceptable if the form must be used by a person busy doing their work. The choice of Acrobat forms are limited, but consider a list box. Despite this, there may be limits imposed by the system or the implementation.

    Better would be

    (a) stop filling after awhile the list and add an entry saying several elements not shown, running report or use better filter

    (b) be available for all filtering of course lists

  • In Firefox 3.6.8 is there a way to see "typed urls" in the drop-down list address without icons and website names? I want to see are "typed urls" and nothing else.

    I want to see are "typed urls" in the drop-down list address. This is the way it has been for a long time. Now, you get some icons and names/info of Web site with the url. It takes too much real estate on the screen and makes it necessary to scroll through the drop-down list. This is a feature that I don't need. Is there perhaps something about: config that I'm missing?

  • How to choose a specific value in a drop-down list using javascript

    Hello

    I'm looking for a way to select a specific value in a drop-down list (the first value) using javascript? How would I do that? Thank you in advance.

    Here's how you can select the first item without having to know what it is:

    Set the value of the drop-down list to the first element cb1

    var f = getField ("cb1");

    var val = f.getItemAt (0, true);

    If (val) f.value = val;

    Change 0 to a different index if desired, or use-1 for the last item in the list. More information for the field getItemAt method is in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.

    Thank you

    You can create A dynamic Action to set the value while changing the value in the Select list (drop-down list).

    Event: change
    Selection type: item (s)
    Article (s): choose your selection list item
    Action: Execute the PL/SQL Code
    PL/SQL code:

    begin
    select colum_name into :Px_text_item_name from table where column_name=:px_select_list_name;
    end;
    

    Page elements to send: px_select_list_name
    Page referred to return: Px_text_item_name

    Its work for me without refreshing the page. Assume that, if you want to pass this value to the element in another page, then use the branch for redirection and assign the value to the element on the page of another.

  • Why don't I receive not all values in a drop-down list in OBIEE?

    Hello

    Why I don't receive all the data which is present in the tables.and there is no limit in the County of datas? and there at - it presents another way to get all the data in the drop-down list in the tables?

    Yes, there is an internal limit on the no. values that are displayed in the drop-down list on guests. I guess that its 256 in 10 g.

    To increase the limit, add entry in the instanceconfig.xml below:


    1000

    This will increase the limit of 1000 values in the drop-down list.

  • Export the value of the drop-down list of failure

    Hello colleagues!

    I created a simple form using LiveCycle Designer, which consist of two elements of text and drop-down list box:

    The drop-down list is filled with XML data:

    <MyData>
    <country/>
    <countries>
    <item uiname="United States" token="US"/>
    <item uiname="Vietnam" token="SRV"/>
    </countries>
    <state/>
    <US>
    <item>California</item>
    <item>New York</item>
    <item>Texas</item>
    </US>
    <SRV>
    <item>An Giang</item>
    <item>Bac Giang</item>
    <item>Bac Kan</item>
    </SRV>
    </MyData>
    

    Then, I handed the form, received a response and he added in the base file of responses:

    Later, I tried to export the responses, but it freezes. I think that the loop is executed, because I can move the progreess window, I can close the wndow to Adobe Acrobat, but when I try to cancel the export process nothing happens:

    So I discovered that the problem is in the drop-down list populated from XML data and list which is binding against XSD or XML elements.

    I don't know what I should do next.

    Simple form. XML data.

    Adobe support confirmed that the problem with dropdown lists bug. Will be fixed in future version.

  • fill a list based on a value from the drop-down list box

    Well, I know a way around it but its quite long with what I know. I worked on a better solution for a day now. So maybe (or likely) someone knows better. I'm trying to fill a drop drop down based on a user selection figure in a list of check boxes. I know I could create several drop-down lists and hide away them until the user changes the value of binding. But the dropdowns would consume a lot of space in my form design in liveCycle. So is there another way or I'm stuck he made a long journey. I also need to assign values to these elements, since they change because the values are used as item numbers later that fill a text/number field later in form as a list of materials.

    Tell me if I'm wrong, please (I'm new to all this)

    in the box in the click event

    If (this.) RawValue == 1)

    {

    dropDownList1.addItem ("item # 1", "value1111");

    dropDownList1.addItem ("item # 2", "value2222");

    }

    on the other

    {

    dropDownList1.rawValue = "null";

    }

    I'm sure that null is not good and I don't know that I have to set the drop-down menu to clear items on preOpen. Or maybe not. And there is a way to add items without the addition of a new right of the line? I'm on the right track?

    Hello

    Rather than having the script in each of the boxes, you can have the script in the event preOpen the drop-down list that leans on the boxes.

    I downloaded an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=VwREjsMgvqXpVqPu54kSNw

    Take a look at the preOpen the dropdown event.

    // clear the dropdown displayed value and items
    this.rawValue = null;
    this.clearItems(); 
    
    // repopulate the items based on the checkboxes
    if(fruit.rawValue == 1)
    {
         this.addItem("Apples", "fruit_001");
         this.addItem("Pears", "fruit_002");
         this.addItem("Oranges", "fruit_003");
         this.addItem("Bananas", "fruit_004");
         this.addItem("Grapes", "fruit_005");
    }

  • Display the export value of the drop-down list instead of the element

    I'm showing the value to the export of a drop-down list instead of the selected option or the user selects BLACK, but the value of exports of BLK is actually displayed.  I can find many discussions on how to get the value of the exports and display it or use it to trigger another answer in another area and I can usually tweak my existing JavaScripts when I need something new, but I just can't wrap my head around this!

    This is my last attempt (failed)

    var f = this.getField ("eyes");

    If (event.value is 'Black - BLK')

    f.Value = "BLK".

    I use Acrobat PRO DC.

    Any help is appreciated,

    Thank you

    I've been doing this for a long time and have never heard of anyone who wants something like this, so it is interesting. Remove your current script and try the following script Format customized drop eyes:

    Custom drop-down list Format script

    Event.Value = event.target.getItemAt (event.target.currentValueIndices, true);

    This defines what is displayed in the drop-down list in the value of exports of the selected item. Select the 'Value selected to validate immediately' option to the drop-down list for smoother operation.

    Alternatively, you can cheat it. It seems to work. Define the field as a text field, and the dash. Then go to the Type of object field and replace it with a drop-down list. This seems to keep the dash.

    Hyperion Inreatctive reports.

    I have an embedded in a dashboard report.  I drag the lists that filter the report.  Filter feed results and it works fine.

    I want to put a command button on the dashboard that restores the default values from the dropdown lists.  I have a selection in each drop-down menu, 'all '.  "All" is the default value.

    For example, for the year

  • Change the border color of text field based on a value from the drop-down list

    I have a dropdown menu with 4 choices of priority for maintenance.  With a javascript script, I need to be able to select a 'priority' in a list box and a text box border then color with an appropriate color.

    'High priority' with an export value of 0

    "Medium priority" with a value of exports of 1

    'Low priority' of an export value of 2

    "When the time allowed" with a value of exports of 3

    When one of these selections has been filed, a text box becomes available in order to write the gap. My goal is as follows.

    When "High priority" is selected, the border of the text box where you write the gap would blush.

    When "Moderately urgent" is checked, the border around the text box where you write the gap would turn yellow.

    When "Low Priority" is checked, the border of the text box where you write the gap would become green.

    When "when she allows" is checked, the border around the text box where you write the gap would have turned blue.

    Otherwise, the border would be white.

    This form will be used ultimately on an iPad using Expert PDF under the player.     I use Acrobat X to create the form.

    Yes, I accidentally left a hug. I can fix it so it won't be a problem if someone tries to use it. Happy that you guessed it work.

    To handle resetting, you can use a script to validate drop-down list:
