FormCalc vs JavaScript question
Well, then to be consistent throughout my form I would use JavaScript throughout my form. In addition, it is easier to use. Unfortunately, there is a behavior in FormCalc I can't reproduce in JavaScript, and I need it to work. Here's the script in FormCalc
var vnum = _Body.count
var selection = xfa.host.messageBox ("attention! You are about to permanently delete this entry. Are you sure you want to continue? "," danger! ", 3, 2).
If ((vnum == (this.parent.index + 1)) & (vnum <>1) & (choice == 4)) then
Body [this.parent.index - 1]. Radio_Button_Subform.Radio_Button_Group.RawValue = "2"
endif
If (choice == 4) then
_Body.removeInstance (this.parent.index)
endif
and here is my attempt to replace using JavaScript
var vnum = _Body.count;
var selection = xfa.host.messageBox ("attention! You are about to permanently delete this entry. Are you sure you want to continue? «, "danger!", 3, 2);»
If ((vnum == (this.parent.index + 1)) & & (vnum! = 1) & & (choice == 4))
Body [this.parent.index - 1]. Radio_Button_Subform.Radio_Button_Group.RawValue = '2';
If (choice is 4)
_Body.removeInstance (this.parent.index);
I tested it on and I know that the problem occurs with the line
Body [this.parent.index - 1]. Radio_Button_Subform.Radio_Button_Group.RawValue = '2';
However, I do not understand why this reference is not valid JavaScript when it worked in FormCalc, and I don't know how to operate it.
Thanks for your help.
Hello
For the javascript version replace youre code with the following:
xfa.resolveNode ("Body [" +(vnum-2) +""].. ") RawValue Radio_Button_Subform.Any_other_property_of_this_type') = '2 ';
Also check fix, hope this is what you need.

FormCalc or Javascript for the radio buttons?
I need to write a script that uses radio buttons.
If a radiobutton is selected (my radiobuttion is called rbJanuary) then textbox1 = textbox2.
How I write this and it's in FormCalc or Javascript? Thank you!
Hello
It doesn't matter what language you use for your request, it will work in both while FormCalc has a thinner syntax.
FormCalc:
if ($ eq 1) then Textfield1 = Textfield2 else Textfield1 = "" endifJavaScript:

JavaScript question - do not click on dates in a calendar
We try on online tennis court booking site. When I click the calendar icon to select a date in the calendar, I can click on the date, but he does not at that date.
Other browsers such as Chrome and Internet Explorer work fine. It just goes straight to the date I click.
<"rel = 'nofollow' > http://demo3.onlinecourtreservations.com/Reservations.asp > demo version"
<"rel = 'nofollow' > http://mum.onlinecourtreservations.com/Reservations.asp > our trial version."
Here's what I sent to the developer and his answer is below.
My Question: When you use the calendar for date selection tool, I noticed that it will not to the date on the calendar that I click. I can navigate using the arrows of day view and the view arrows week next to the icon of calendar very well.
DEVELOPER RESPONSE: The calendar tool is based on javascript, so the security of your browser must allow scripts. To do this, the simplest method is to add your site to the "trusted sites" on your browser.
The steps I've tried:
1. the reset of the functionality of Firefox
2. clear all history
3. start in Safe Mode
4. check to make sure that javaScript is enabled and it is.I wonder why this works fine in Chrome and Internet Explorer and not Firefox.
Could someone help me solve the problem?
Thank you.
If you use this script, you can change it?
The pop-up tries to submit a form hidden in the main window using a standard, old SEO method. You can correct the script in the pop-up window, or you can create a reference in the main window.
Method #1:
Change the code in the popup
reservation_window.frmCalendar.submit();
for this
reservation_window.document.forms['frmCalendar'].submit();
Method #2:
In the main window, create a global script variable that creates the missing reference:
window.frmCalendar = document.forms['frmCalendar'];
Once solve you this problem, there is a new number. Web site empty, and when you view the source, you see that there is a problem with one of the hidden form parameters.
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: 'CInt' /demo/common/reservationssheet/script.asp, line 25
Since it is on the server, I don't know what goes wrong, but the script apparently don't deal well with a time value start missing. For what it's worth, I get the same error in IE8.

You can send me a sample form and I would try it for you.

Javascript question (API) labels DYMO
Hi all.
APEX 4.2
11 GR 2 XE database.
I am trying to print labels directly from APEX through a library of JS of DYMO (DYMO label for javascript framework).
I want to fetch the XML code for the type of representation dynamically from the database instead of fixed this assignment in JS, which kind I can store all templates for labels in the database and find the one appropriate for the task, I do).
If I use the fixed code, it works very well, code looks like this (sheet of labels XML is assigned to the variable labelxml in the first few lines):function printadres(labeltext ) { try { var labelxml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\ <DieCutLabel Version="8.0" Units="twips">\ <PaperOrientation>Landscape</PaperOrientation>\ <Id>Address</Id>\ <PaperName>30252 Address</PaperName>\ <DrawCommands/>\ <ObjectInfo>\ <TextObject>\ <Name>Text</Name>\ <ForeColor Alpha="255" Red="0" Green="0" Blue="0" />\ <BackColor Alpha="0" Red="255" Green="255" Blue="255" />\ <LinkedObjectName></LinkedObjectName>\ <Rotation>Rotation0</Rotation>\ <IsMirrored>False</IsMirrored>\ <IsVariable>True</IsVariable>\ <HorizontalAlignment>Left</HorizontalAlignment>\ <VerticalAlignment>Middle</VerticalAlignment>\ <TextFitMode>ShrinkToFit</TextFitMode>\ <UseFullFontHeight>True</UseFullFontHeight>\ <Verticalized>False</Verticalized>\ <StyledText/>\ </TextObject>\ <Bounds X="332" Y="150" Width="4455" Height="1260" />\ </ObjectInfo>\ </DieCutLabel>'; var label = dymo.label.framework.openLabelXml(labelxml); // set label text label.setObjectText("Text", labeltext); // select printer to print on // for simplicity sake just use the first LabelWriter printer var printers = dymo.label.framework.getPrinters(); if (printers.length == 0) throw "No DYMO printers are installed. Install DYMO printers."; var printerName = ""; for (var i = 0; i < printers.length; ++i) { var printer = printers;
if (printer.printerType == "LabelWriterPrinter")
{
printerName = printer.name;
break;
}
}
if (printerName == "")
throw "No LabelWriter printers found. Install LabelWriter printer";
// finally print the label
label.print(printerName);
}
catch(e)
{
alert(e.message || e);
}
};
function printadres (labeltext)but when I try to fetch the same XML from a text field on my form it fails with a "getObjectByNameElement(): no object with name 'Text' was found" error which is a custom error from the DYMO library. I'm unable to find the big difference in the 2 approaches. If I test the variable labelxml by putting it in an alert the value seems fine ( it contains the XML string which is in P11_LABELTEMPLATE which is exactly the same as the static assigned text in the previous example ). The code then looks like this :
{
VR;
{
var labelxml = $v ('P11_LABELTEMPLATE'); It's dynamic assignment that fails somehow
var label = dymo.label.framework.openLabelXml (labelxml);
the text of the label value
label.setObjectText ("Text", labeltext);
Select the printer to print on
for simplicity just use the first printer LabelWriter
var printers = dymo.label.framework.getPrinters ();
If (printers.length == 0)
launch 'no DYMO printer is installed. Install DYMO printers. « ;
var printerName = "";
for (var i = 0; i < printers.length; ++ I)
{
Printer printers [i] = var;
If (printer.printerType is "LabelWriterPrinter")
{
printerName = printer.name;
break;
}
}
If (printerName == "")
not launch "no printer found LabelWriter. Install printer LabelWriter ";
Finally, print the label
Label.Print (PrinterName);
}
catch (e)
{
Alert(e.message || e);
}
};I'm not sure if this is an APEX or JS question/problem but I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Regards BasHi Arie,
You have me headed in the right direction.
It seems to me that there is a CR/LF to CR conversion but in the end that did not really matter, I guess.I just made a mistake by copying the XML in a database table. What I did the copy on any of the XML string in the code, including the backslash at the end of the line that is JS (continue on a new line) and does not part of the XML... .not too smart of me is it ;)
Please help out me.Problem solved!
Kind regards

Good day all.
I'm now enter in forms that require calculations. In practice some reading I saw where JavaScript and FormCalc are used. Can someone tell me which is better to use?
Rhetorically, I'm designing, I tried formCalc, but I hit a wee bump. I have UED the following "If(cost_p_h No 0( ) thenSum(60/file_p_h) ' endif" and received the following error "

This is because if files to clear counties that as not equal to 0 is the calculation. Try:

What is the main reason for using FormCalc rather than JavaScript?
is it because users will not have to activate JavaScript in the drive? only a form of FormCalc will still work regardless of the preferences of the reader?
Hello
In fact, this isn't the main reason using FormCalc as opposed to JavaScript,
FormCalc is not as powerful or as widespread as JavaScript. However, it is ideal for the non-programmers
who need to add calculations in their forms. If you come from a background of Microsoft Excel and
you have no experience with JavaScript, you should consider using FormCalc. FormCalc has a lot
built-in functions that cover a range of areas, including finance, logic, dates and times, and mathematics.
FormCalc is supported in the designer, Acrobat, Reader and LiveCycle servers.
However, it will not work with HTML forms created by LiveCycle Forms.
While FormCalc is the script language in the designer by default, JavaScript is more
ideal to create interactive and dynamic forms sophisticated.
Thank you
Stéphane.

I use Firefox 26.0, and now when I try to connect to Gmail, it shows "JavaScript must be enabled so that you can use Gmail in standard mode. However, it seems that JavaScript is disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then try again. »
I went through all the tabs under 'Options', but still can't find a way to solve the problem. Help, please!
Hello
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options define and protect users against unintentially damage their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript has been removed from the Options of Firefox window.
However, the ability to disable JavaScript was will not be deleted from Firefox entirely. You can always go to about: config or by installing an add-on.
Subject: config
- In the address bar, type "subject: config" (with no quotes), and then press ENTER.
- Click on "I'll be careful, I promise".
- In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
- Click with the right button on the result, named "javascript.enabled" and click on "Toggle". JavaScript is currently disabled.
To re - enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
Add - ons
You can also install an add-on that allows you to disable JavaScript, such as
- No-Script (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as needed)
- QuickJava (to disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images and other content easily)
- SettingSanity (add deleted options for JavaScript, JavaScript advanced settings, loading images and the display of the tab bar)
Thank you and I hope this helps!

Please help with javascript question
Hi all
So ive got this piece of javascript-
$("#verse_inscriptions").on ('change', function() {}
verse of the var = $(this).children("option:selected").val();)
If (verse! = "0") {}
$("#textarea").val ($("#textarea").val () + "" + verse);
calculateTotal();
}
});
This page http://www.milesmemorials.com/product-GH54.html that I need is to adapt it so that it will allow this function to arrive while also inserting the same information into the textarea - here
< textarea = "textarea2" id = "textarea2" name > < / textarea >
So basically I have 2 forms, the first is where customers make their choices/selections and the second form retrieves these choices and inserts them in form2 by attributes "onchange", but the piece of code above that from occur (only on this part of the form 'inscriptions and verses' and 'textarea', which, as you can see both are interrelated).
Can someone help me with this? I appreciate all help.
Sorry it's my typo (extra '} ')
$("#verse_inscriptions").on("change", function() { var verse = $(this).val(); if(verse == "0") verse = ""; $("#textarea, #textarea2").val(verse); processTextarea(); });--

Another image to the random/javascript question
So I try to find the best way to select the 4 images (out of reach of 8 images) and present them on a page at random. No movement or transitions not needed - just a way every time someone visits the page a random selection of 4 of the 8 images displayed. My current HTML looks like this:
< div id = "slider" >
< ul id = "randomSlide" >
<! - 1 - >
< li >"< a href="path/to/someotherpage.html "> < img alt ="alt text"src="img/1.jpg"/ > < / a >
< /li >
.....
< /ul >
< / div >
So any suggestions on how to fix this? The jQuery plug-ins? Advice?
I have not tested this on a live server, but it works perfectly on the spot. Put the following script immediately before the closing on the page tag:
Obviously, you change the values of the src and url in each element of the array.
What this did that create an array of objects containing the name of the image and its associated url. The table is sorted then randomly, and a loop that runs four times is used to fill the "randomSlide" unordered list, replacing the href and src attributes. I assumed that the images are in a folder called "images". Otherwise, change the value to ' images /' in the loop at the end of the script.
When I tested it on the spot, I used # for the default href attribute and an empty string for the CBC in each
tag. Since some people may have JavaScript disabled, it may be better to use actual values. However, this could change once the page loads images. The problem is that you can not access the unordered list until it has loaded into the DOM. The alternative would be to sort the array and preload the images, but this will slow down the display of the entire page.
A solution on the server side would be much more effective.

JavaScript question calling location.href
Hello
I'm calling a function javascript to the click event of a command button.
function test1() {}
Alert ("Simple alert");
Location.href='/context/faces/test';
Window.Location='/Context/faces/test';
}
The redirect does not work the method here. If I Uncomment alert in the method and accept the alert from the rediredirection that happens. Someone tell me the issue here? Is there another way to have the redirect using javascript?
Thank you
BastienYes, that seems correct (I wanted to say in the case of page 2, back to page 1). You use a binding of the ADF, and if so, what are the conditions of discount for the iterators on page 1?
