Help with drop-down lists

I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 in Windows 7 and I have created a form here: http://olympicanimalsanctuary.org/volunteerapp.PDF

I have two drop-down lists in the form, under the heading "internship seekers only" on the right side of the first page.  I created these manually, not with any code. When I try to click on the drop down menus in preview mode, as well as in Acrobat and online, the lists will not be open.  They Flash open for a split second, then close it again before I can click on my selection.  Someone else has the same problem with my form, or is this a problem on the end of my computer?  Any suggestions?  I have read some other forums where people have this problem with the drop down menus in other applications as well, but I only have this issue with my own form.

Today is my first day using this application, so please, be gentle.

Thank you

Steve

Hello

I suspect that the drop-down list of objects has become corrupt or you have copied the object and then changed its type in a drop-down list or the object picked up the attributes of a shipment by the subject of the e-mail message.

If you select the drop-down list and go to the XML Source, you will see the click event script is set to "mailto:"

Solution is always the same - a drop-down menu again drag the shape.

  • New to LiveCycle.  Need help with drop-down lists.

    I just started playing with LiveCycle with PDF Forms.  One thing that I wonder if it is possible to do the link of the selections available in the drop-down lists.  For example, on a form with one question on this subject, I have 5 possible answers as the "ranking of your favorite in the order of most loved at least liked fruits".  Then I have a series of 5 drop down list with the first box containing boxes "Apple, pear, fishing, strawberry, grapes.  Is it possible to have someone to make a selection in the first box, their fruit in the list, and then the second box would have four options to choose?  Say if apple was their favorite, only, pear, fishing, strawberry and grape would be selection?  I tried to find an answer, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about the capabilities of LiveCycle, and/or how to work with scripts (I think that's what I see people using).  If someone could take the time to try to push myself through this, I would appreciate it, of course.

    Here's a form to date. I had to get help from a programmer friend, so it is a code evolved. I used a script object to reduce the volume of code.

    Take a look and let me know what you think.

  • Help adding textfield with drop-down list selects

    I have a PDF with a drop-down list field called "SoftwareList" with a default value of "Select the software" and a text field called 'SelectedSoftware '. You can freely type in the text field to communicate your needs, or choose the menu drop-down. I want to add in the text field, which is selected in the drop-down list each time. I had the following script to fix this as a custom text field calculation script:

    If (this.getField("SoftwareList").value! = "Select software")

    {

    this.getField("SelectedSoftware").value += this.getField("SoftwareList").value + «»

    }

    The problem I have is that it will continue to add to the text box with everything that was selected last in the drop-down list when you click on other fields in the form, such as check boxes. I tried this put on different actions both at the key sequence in the Properties tab of format, but did not work there. I added the following line, which helped, but it is still a click of the addition until it changes, duplicate the last pick:

    this.getField("SoftwareList").value = "select the software."

    Appreciate help with this.

    I would like to use the script validation custom from the drop-down list. You can use something like this:

    If (event.value! = 'Select Software') this.getField("SelectedSoftware").value += event.value + ",";

    To ensure that the update as soon as a selection is made to check the option to validate the selected value immediately under properties of the menu drop down, tab Options.

  • Problem with drop-down list that prevents the use of the functions, will not go away.

    Hello

    I have Windows 7.  I could not afford MS Office, so I downloaded OpenOffice and, later, LibreOffice.  My problem is, when I open a document to write in a program, a drop-down list (formatting) is displayed.  It starts with "Default" at the top.  The box does not work, if I click on anything that it just flashes.  Or it will disappear.  I tried everything I can think of to get rid of him.  And, as long as it's here, I can't write to a document.  I can close, but only by closing the program.

    Is this problem only with free Office programs.  Sometimes when I am looking for a program in Windows 7, or if I'm looking for the Help menu in 7.

    I'm not very savvy computer.  If you would be interested to help me, thank you very much, but please don't expect me to know some thing on anything whatsoever.  I used to use the mode BACK back in the day, but the subterrain of computers is a subject that I've lost contact with long ago.

    You can also try to test with another Windows user, in case you have a corrupt user profile.

    If things were OK and then maybe a few days ago, System Restore is an option.

  • help external drop-down list

    I downloaded a drop-down list widget and add in the list for different sections like list countries, list of post and living in State. I added the position and the list of the countries very well, but when I added to the list of State he adds to the list of countries well on a widget to separate list menu and the list of countries is becoming a long line of text and I lost the drop-down list. Why is this happening? Download widget is called

    Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello Walter.

    This seems to be a small problem with the widget itself, I would say you contact the developer of the widget and they would be able to check and correct the problem in the widget.

  • still problems with drop-down list fill the Script

    Well, I used the information I got this forum to fill a drop in a repeatable subform with javascript (and it even works with FormCalc) problem solved. But now when I test the script in format acrobat (with calculations) the last item on my list does not seem to be working properly. They are scripted like that on the preOpen event.

    DropDownListName.additem ("item 1", "1.00");

    DropDownListName.additem ("item 2", "2.00");

    etc.,

    etc.

    They are all the same, and they all show during the test. But when I click on the last item, it automatically entered the first element on the form and for some reason that I don't know, when I click on the arrow to the bottom of the drop-down list once again, will be my listed items 1-6 and 1-6 new (Double listing the items). If I click it a third time he triple will list the elements... Weird! Maybe I'm just tired, but more probably think I do something wrong (again!) Anyone have any ideas?

    One more thing so I don't have to add another post and I hope you people leave him alone. How do the total field sum of script so we round to the nearest cent (1.856 = 1.86) or which is not easy

    Hello

    The second issue of additional items in the drop-down list is easily sorted by including a line in the preOpen to clear the list first.

    DropDownListName.clearItems ();

    This should go before the addItem script.

    This erases the existing list, before be filled again. You would tend to use addItems, where list items will change according to the previous intervention of the user with the form.

    Regarding the round total, you can do this with script (check "Round" in the help file), but it is not necessary.

    When you have the total selected object, just go to the object/field tab and click models. On the display tab, you can select a model of currency with the currency symbol, the 2 decimal and thousands separator (IF your item is a numeric field).

    Good luck

  • Using fields show/hide with drop-down lists

    The following code stores and displays the data in a field of view based on what the user selects and it works fine, but I'm not sure how to incorporate additional content in this context.

    Form1. #subform [0]. indPaymentOptions::change - (JavaScript, client)

    Switch - test for the "selected" text, if so, display "display" text

    switch (this.boundItem (xfa.event.newText)) {}

    case "donation/Contribution:

    var display = "Restricted use, usually the student fundraisers. May be a political entity neither does not endorse a political goal. Raised funds donations require a copy of the filing. < span style =------"color: #FF0000;" make-style: italic; ------"> must be attributed to Unassigned funds and senior officer of the authority." </span > ';

    XmlToShow = XmlStart + screen + XmlEnd;

    xfa.resolveNode ("form1. #subform. Display_Field_Pay_Types'). value.exData.loadXML (XmlToShow, true);

    taxReportable.rawValue = 'Y ';

    AccountCodesDynamic.rawValue = "001285;

    break;

    case "Membership":

    var display = 'membership sponsored University must be directly related to the responsibilities of the proposed Member University. Get institutional investors rather that individual memberships to allow the participation of several or another employed. Membership must use a UCSC address for administrative audit. « ;

    XmlToShow = XmlStart + screen + XmlEnd;

    xfa.resolveNode ("form1. #subform. Display_Field_Pay_Types'). value.exData.loadXML (XmlToShow, true);

    taxReportable.rawValue = 'Y ';

    AccountCodesDynamic.rawValue = "001200, \n001210;

    break;

    by default:

    VendPaymentOptions.rawValue = "Please select an option from the drop-down menu"Select type"above."

    taxReportable.rawValue = "";

    break;

    }

    I'm going to show a hidden field, once one of the items in drop-down list is selected with an if statement then. I tried to put the code below in the code above, but it does not work. I am familiar with livescript event management system, so I'm not too sure where the if then statement must be submitted. Should it be set in the * click the section? Or the initialze section? If someone could shine some light on what to do here it would be great.

    If (xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.indPaymentOptions").rawValue == 1) {}

    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.textfield1").presence = "visible";

    }

    else {}

    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.textfield1").presence = 'hidden ';

    }

    My example display only text. When you view the drop down from the window of the object, click the link tab. If specify the item values is checked, then boundItem will return what is in the value column during the passage of what is in the text column. If you have added an additional element in the list without adding an item of value, maybe that's your problem. In my example, if you check the box, it will be 1, 2, 3 in the value column. If you then in the code, you have added the this.boundItem part, case sections will have to be changed from 'TextField1' to '1' and the same for the 2 and 3.

  • Problem with drop-down list: under Windows, it works, on Mac is not

    Dear forum,

    I'm reworking the script MultiPageImporter2.5 by Scott Zanelli; going to add new features.

    So far, I added a drop-down list so that the user could choose which pages to put a pdf/indd file: odd/even/as well.

    my dialog box.jpg

    However, I encountered a strange problem: on Windows, it works as expected, but on Mac, nothing happens when I click on the shortcut menu. When I write a dialog box, I almost always use the automatic layout and never encountered such a problem before. But in this text the author uses a fixed position for the controls so I followed his style of coding:

    dLog.pageSideMode = dLog.pan4.add('dropdownlist', [10,110,180,40], ["Odd and Even Pages", "Only Odd Pages", "Only Even Pages"]);
    dLog.pageSideMode.selection = pageSideMode;
    

    The drop-down list is visible both on Windows and Mac, but on a Mac, it is not clickable. What I am doing wrong?

    Another question: in the script, the author has created three pop-up windows. In the code, each popup has a different height (the last element of the array 'limits') - 60, 88, 33. Does make sense to make them different if on the screen they are exactly the same (I mean height).

    Here's my version of the script.

    I think the easiest solution for me here is to rework the part fixed dialog for automatic layout.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kasyan

    Hello

    I don't think you're doing something wrong. If you change the vertical position of the popup to 90, the popup works if you click at the top, not if you click on the bottom.

    I think that you have found a bug in the previous DAY.

  • Dynamic table with drop-down lists

    I have a dynamic array with a header row, row in Section, and footer.

    Section has the cells (columns) next: Cell1 (drop-down with locations), button (to remove the line), CCode (RAL color Code), CName (name of the color).

    I start with 1 row.

    now what I want to do is, when they select in Lignesde for example RAL 1003 (rawValue '1') then in CName must appear the name "yellow signal" (rawValue '1').

    I am using javascript

    My first problem is how do I know what value is chosen, because this does not work:

    If (this.rawValue == 1)

    {

    xfa.host.messageBox ('Today')

    }

    and on the other hand, how to set the CName value

    because it affects only in the first cell CName:

    xfa.form.DataSheet.TechnicalInformation.Markings.THatchPatterns.Section.CName.rawValue

    = '1';

    Please help me, I'm totally lost

    solved the problem, instead on the change event to put the script on the exit event.

    and the trick is the following line:

    xfa.resolveNode ("THatchPatterns.Section [" + this.parent.index + "]"). This.rawValue = CCode.rawValue

My main question is, after I declare variables and to start my statement IF, how to know what to wear after. For example, if txtDuration (you would be with correct txtDuration?), how you would get the computer to understand you speak #1 0r 2 3 0r. Also it would be better to use if elseif? Let me know!

  • list - restrictive entry visibility and external xml file in the drop-down list

    The question applies to the OPA 10.1, but if a solution requires a version more recent OPA (e.g., 12.1) we can update so please let me know what version your answer applies to.

    I have a series of tabs of a spreadsheet Excel that map different categories on each other and I want to implement this OPA so that there are six screens with drop-down lists and visible elements two on-screen menu will depend on the selected item in the display 1. list to display 3 items will depend on the selected item in the screen 2, which depends on the item selected on the screen 1, etc..

    For example,.

    1 screen can be States:

    Maryland

    Virginia

    New York City

    Georgia

    ...

    2 screen could then be counties: assuming that Virginia has been selected...

    Accomack

    Albemarle

    Alleghany

    ...

    3 screen could be cities: assuming that Accomack is selected...

    Exmore

    Parksley

    ...

    Basically I have large spreadsheet list of lists with items (one list a 2040 pieces) and so I can't manually enter easily list items.  I would like to 'specify the name of the list' and have the OPA to use an xml list (easily created my spreadsheet), but the OPA Help menu says "NOTE: this implementation of the xml list does not support default values or visibility...» "So it seems that I won't be able to make invisible inapplicable list items.  So, to use the fictitious example above, if I chose the State of Maryland, I will not applicable to Virginia or any other State counties, but Maryland is visible; Yet, all counties in the country should be included in the list in the first place.

    If someone knows a solution or another solution to this problem (other than creating custom functions) so please let me know.

    "Out of the box' for 10.1 you can try the following:

    Have simply a separate list for each of the sub-components. He can do even a little painful, but you have not at least custom functions or custom controls.

    On the first screen you have the attribute collection the State using the list of States (provided via xml).

    On the second screen you have the County collection attribute - but repeated 50 times - and then use visibility to show/hide the template you want (which then has the correct xml for the counties in the State).

    On the third screen you have your attribute for the city (once again the same attribute for each list) but isn't there it gets a little mean to 50 times counties in the State.

    In terms of writing that required visibility rules that you can probably leverage Excel to do much of the building of the rule for you to lists (remembering that the compiler takes that you as the user see in Excel, not the function that sees Excel)- so there is not a lot of extra work in the perspective of rules.

    The sticking point will simply put all of these attributes and binds the attribute visibility for the right control (and right xml).

    Proceed with caution (extreme!), but... If you're already Automation to create the XML lists from Excel, then you might want to automate the creation of xml screen. But be very careful. I've seen some projects that have used automatically generated screens and they did the job of the ok - but certainly a warning any time major health you do not use OPM to generate a component of OPM.

    Then... it is possible to do it manually - but you probably want to get involved some automation.

  • Selecting a value in a drop-down list returns to an incorrect value

    Hello

    I have a table with drop-down lists in a column. The drop-down list provides 3 values: Yes, no and s/o. When the user selects n/d and leaves the cell, the value changes to no.

    Any thoughts on what is the cause and how to fix it?

    Thank you

    MDawn

    You can set the same value for two choices in the drop-down list. This is why it is failing the first condition in the list with the same value...

    Or

    You could not give the values for the items in the list... In this case, as they both start with "N", it will highlight the first item that starts with "N"...

    Set different values for each element in the binding tab, then click on specify point values.
