  I am fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have drop them downs named. Copy you a then keep stick in each area? If so, that's the problem. You must rename each with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think this might solve the problem.

• Dynamic drop-down list in the Bay of cluster

  I have a table of cluster that contains two drop-down list boxes. The first drop-down list box control which Articles of the second drop-down list box by writing in the node property [StringsAndValues] for the second box. The problem I have is when I create a new index in the table of cluster and select different values in the drop-down list boxes, it changes the area of dynamic drop-down list on all indexes in the table. Attached, that's what I have so far.

  Wow, what are the chances of another thread like this so early.

  Check out this other thread and look at the link of Hooovahh to see a great way to change the drop-down list box strings during execution to give the appearance different drop-down list boxes. The reality is that you can't have the combo box different types/lists in the same table. So what it is, is to check what element you are clicked on and change the behavior of the combobox as a result.

• Drop-down list field

  Hi friends,

  In my application from the drop-down list field that I used "ObjectChoiceField" it works but it does not feel like a drop-down list field

  How can I do?

  by the look, he must feel like a drop-down list field?

  Thanks in advance

  I've seen this done before overriding the method object of the ObjectChoiceField to use drawBitmap. In this way paint you a picture on the right of the field (such as the traditional arrow pointing down). You can also use drawRect to draw a rectangle around the whole thing make it look like more traditional.

• Using a choice of multiple words in a drop-down list field to launch a java script

  I'm a complete newbie to manuscript of java and relatively new to your building in Acrobat.

  I use a drop-down list field to fill in automatically other fields based on my 1st drop-down list selection.

  The 1st field drop-down allows me to select a variety of suppliers.  Once I have selected the vendor, he auto-remplit the coordinates for this provider.

  I've plagiarized the writing of scripts from this link: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field.  I even changed my domain names for the moment.  I'll change my return form field names and the script to match once I got it working like I want.

  If I use only one name in my drop down list provider (1 field), the script works perfectly and auto-remplit contact as expected information.  However, many of my suppliers are two words or more... and I need those names in print, so I can't do just a contraction of a Word.  Here is the script I use:

  Here is an example of a supplier of single word name that works as expected:
  Put all vorkriegsbevölkerung data in a single data structure
  var DeptData = {ADLEMI: {contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",}}
  E-mail: "DOWNEY, CA 90242."
  {{deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111 '}};
  function SetFieldValues (cDeptName)
  {
  this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .contact.
  this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .email;
  this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .deptnum;
  }

  Unique provider name, I used in the example above is "ADLEMI."  If I add 'BEST' to ADLEMI (see below), I get a syntax error.  I really need to be able to use several words in my list drop-down provider to trigger auto-fill.

  Put all vorkriegsbevölkerung data in a single data structure

  var DeptData = {ADLEMI BEST: {contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",}}

  E-mail: "DOWNEY, CA 90242."

  {{deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111 '}};

  function SetFieldValues (cDeptName)

  {

  this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .contact.

  this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .email;

  this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .deptnum;

  }

  The only difference is that I added a space and the word 'BEST' after ADLEMI.  Is there a way to get around this.  I need to have several words in my drop-down list, or at least the full name of the vendor indicating in the field when I print it.

  Thank you

  Place quotation marks around the name of the element.

• Show drop-down list field hide selection in another drop-down list box

  Hello I need to create two drop-down fields on a dynamic PDF in LiveCycle. The first field contains three choices. When a user selects an item in the drop-down list first I would like to a new field of drop-down list has been shown. For each item in the first drop-down list appears a new field drop-down list with unique values. If the user chooses blue drop-down list of blue shades indicate in this menu drop-down will be various shades of blue to choose for. If the Red is chosen, Shades of Red dropdown with appearance and if yellow is displayed the same occurs. Also if the user must go back and change their selection in the first drop-down list, they can do the same. Any suggestions?

  Thank you in advance.

  There are 2 ways you could do this. The first is just to have the 3 drop-down lists for the second box to separate and do them all hidden. The output of the first dropdown event would then have the code that would make it the second box become visible, something like (in formcalc):

  If ($ == 1) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "visible".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

  ElseIf ($ == 2) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "visible".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

  ElseIf ($ == 3) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "visible".

  endif

  The other option is just to have a dropdown that dynamically changes its options based on the results of the first box. So in the second box preOpen event you might have something like (in formcalc):

  If (dropdown1 == 1) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("light red, dark red")

  ElseIf (dropdown1 == 2) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("sky blue, dark blue")

  ElseIf (dropdown1 == 3) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("light yellow, dark yellow")

  endif

• initialize a dynamic drop-down list

  I have a table (say table1) with 11 courses, of which 4 are foreign keys.
  When you create a new record, I use drop-down lists to fill 4 foreign key fields in table1.
  When I update the table 1, I use a drop-down list on the search page to select the record and pass it to the edit page via an URL parameter. No foreign keys appear in the new page into a field of text without problem and can be edited. Foreign keys can be displayed without problem, but if I want to change, I have to use a list of to do.
  
  Each foreign key is contained in a menu drop-down filled from its own set of records.
  
  Is there a way that these drop-down lists can be dynamically initialized to the foreign key value in Table 1? Or is there a better way to do it?
  
  Some of the key run in the hundreds, and having set all 4 manually before an update can be made is tedious.
  
  I work in php5 and Mysql.
  Howard Walker
  

  It solved!
  I was setting the initial value of the dynamic list of its own key, rather than the foreign key in table1.

  Must be getting old!
  Sorry to trouble you.

• Problems of dynamic drop-down list box

  Hello

  I have a requirement for a list dynamic downdown.

  I use javascript itself to fill the 2 text fields in the drop-down list.  I need the list/menu area drop down to be able to have options to input from the user and the drop-down list. I selected the "user entered - optional" compared to the setting but does not seem to work.

  The drop has used names and if a new employee joined this company and I do not know the end user can enter the name of the employee in the field.

  I have attached a pdf file version.

  Any ideas or help would be great.

  See you soon.

  Hello. All you have to do is check the box "Enable custom text entry". You can find the object box > cell phone

• The PHP/MySQL dynamic drop-down list

  I know this should be easier he became... I even bought two new books on PHP and Dreamweaver, and I'm still lost.
  
  I am trying to create a very simple search for a Web site. This research would be a category based with a drop-down list only search. There would also be an admin section that would add new records to the DB.
  
  So far, I have created a basic admin page that submits new records to the appropriate categories.
  
  I created a simple search with a dynamic Drop Down page, and I have created a basic results page.
  
  If the problem I have is that the Drop Down dynamic list shows the names of similar category according to the number of records exists. Where it should show only the unique category names.
  
  Once selected, the results page and the records are displayed correctly using a dynamic array.
  
  Anyone know what I should do to change this dynamic list so that it does not display the duplicate names?
  
  Thank you.

  This is a very basic SQL query. The SEPARATE after that SELECT keyword ensures
  that duplicate records are removed from the Recordset.

  UNIQUE is a type of index that forces a column to store only unique values.

  You will not. Dreamweaver provides the absolute basics to create the
  code for working with a database. Unless you want to be severely limited in
  what you create, you have to learn a few basics of database
  design and build your own SQL queries.

  To add SEPARATE to your basic SQL query, you must click on the Advanced
  button in the Recordset dialog box and insert it into the SQL query by hand.

• How can I right - justify text in a drop-down list field in Acrobat 11?

  I have a literal that we want to include as a prefix in front of a field of account number.  Users wanted an option to use a No.:o account r
  Account number:, so I was going to justify the choices in the right drop-down selections but I do not see where to change the alignment propterty.  I used spaces before the non-literal account, but it would be better if I could right - justify the selections in the drop-down list box.

  Please let me know if there is a way to do it.

  Thank you!!!

  What exact version number? Look under help - about Adobe Acrobat.

  I also use Pro XI and that's what I see:

  

  I just thought of something, you should try... Look under Edit - Preferences - language and make sure that "Enable right-to-left language options" is checked. Maybe cause this option to appear.

• How to enable/disable readonly in text fields, drop-down list field?

  For example, I have a dropdown field named "DropdownField" and a field of text called 'TextField '.

  Within 'DropdownField', I have four choices: Option 1, Option 2, another, combination. When the user first sees the "DropdownField", they see 'Select Option.' When the "DropdownField' select Option, Option 1 or Option 2 selected, I want to 'TextField' to be a read only field. However, what other or combination are selected, I want them to be able to grasp things in the 'TextField', which makes is not readonly. Also, tell someone selects 'Other', but realizes that they have made a mistake, I want them to be able to select Option 1, and have the return of 'TextField' read-only.

  Currently I have the JavaScript code as a MouseUp on "DropdownField: action

  var getField.DropdownField = drop;

  var getField.TextField = text;

  If (drop.value! = 'Other' | drop.value! = 'Combination')

  {text.readonly = false ;}

  on the other

  If(drop.value = 'Other' | drop.value = 'Mix')

  {text.readonly = true ;}

  However, the JavaScript code above doesn't seem to work. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

  You must use the event to validate drop-down list and use a script like:

  var f = getField("TextField");
  
  if (event.value === "Other" || event.value === "Combination") {
    f.readonly = false;
  } else {
    f.readonly = true;
    f.value = f.defaultValue;
  }
  

  Also, set the option in the drop-down list "Value Commit selected immediately".

• Using dynamic drop-down list

  I've seen countless videos and read a lot of posts on how to create drop down menus, but the script I write still does not work. I am trying to create something pretty basic. I have two drop-down menus on two different pages. The value of the drop-down list on the first page will decide what appears on the drop-down list on the other page. I specified values of element for both lists. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. So far, the code I created is as follows:

• Change the caption of a drop-down list field

  Hi all

  I'm changing the legend of some field drop-down under certain conditions. The following is written on some other field drop-down list:

  If (this.rawValue == 'Ad Hoc payments')

  {    

  xfa.resolveNode ("form. PaymentDetails.ddlInvoiceFrequency.caption #text ") .rawValue group"TEST CAPTION";

  }

  But it seems to not work.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Try with this:

  delete the caption in the palette of the subject field and type this in the case of change:

  If (xfa.event.newText is "Ad Hoc payments") this.caption.value.text.value = "TEST CAPTION";

• Select the point in combobox/drop-down list, fields to update

  Hello

  I have a drop-down list. When a user makes a selection, I would like to query a database and return the results to be displayed in a form. Note, I don't want users to have to press a button, it should happen when an element is pressed. It sounds simple enough, but because I'm new, I'm fighting.

  I understand that I need to create a 'change' and then Manager in this handler, I need to run my t service get the data, but then when I try to access these data, nothing happens. I have to Bind something to the combobox? Here is my code.

  "" < s:ComboBox id = "lcidComboBox"change = "lcidComboBox_changeHandler (event)" labelField = "name" selectedItem ="bills.locn{}'> "

  " < s:AsyncListView list =" getLocationsResult.lastResult{}"/ > "

  < / s:ComboBox >

  protected function lcidComboBox_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void

  {

  getLocationsResult.token = locationService.getLocations ();

  trace (locations.snam); <-this is not anything!

  }

  See you soon,.

  OK, think about it. I needed to include a tag Binding then call my answering machine, the object is able to be called and I can view its properties.

  protected function lcidComboBox_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void

  {

  getLocationsResult.token = locationService.getLocations ();
