move selected value in one drop-down list to another

Hello

I have two lists, and I wanted to make sure that people choose in the first drop-down list before selecting from the second drop-down list. What I tried to do was so, if the user tries to choose something in the second and the first list was unsuccessful, an error message appears asking the user to select from the list.

The problem I encountered: I can't change the value in the first list to the second list to check and see if the first list got whatever it is selected. Any idea?

First list: Department

second list: jobs

in the first drop-down list

var selected = xfa.event.newText;

second drop-down list

If (selected == "" |) some == "null") {}

xfa.host.messageBox ("Please select from the first menu drop-down before choosing from this list.");

}

Thank you

Hello

In the first drop-down menu script, you declare a variable "selected". This form variable lives only in this event. You can not variable accessthat other events or other objects.

You are on the right track, but rather to test the variable in the stated case, test the rawValue of the first dropdown.

if (dropdown1.rawValue == null || dropdown1.rawValue == "")
{
     xfa.host.messageBox(...);
     xfa.host.setFocus("xfa.form.form1.page2.dropdown1");
}

Hope that helps,

  • selecting a value in the drop-down list but page must not get recharged again.

    Hello
    I created a drop-down list.

    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.

  • I have one drop-down list box where one selection (options) is the other.

    I have one drop-down list box where one selection (options) is the other. If a user selects the other, I want to conceive the possibility for them to enter some Notes to describe their other. A pop-up window or the text box is possible? Do not know how to approach the issue... Thank you!

    The field in parentheses is the text (or drop-down menu or other) you want to display when "Other" is selected and hide when it is not.

    If you want to apply the same logic to several fields just duplicate this line of code, the field name in each copy of setting.

  • Impossible to delete previously selected items from the drop-down lists at the click of the button Reset on a page of the screen.

    Hello

    I'm unable to clear previously selected items from the drop-down lists at the click of the button Reset on a page of the screen. The code I did to clear the previous value when the click on the button Reset is as below.

    {} public void onReinitialize (ActionEvent actionEvent)

    System.out.println ("onReinitialize is called ::");

    UIComponent uiComp = actionEvent.getComponent ();

    If (uiComp is nothing)

    {

    otherwise we use the button that we linked to that bean

    uiComp = getButtonResetByBean ();

    _logger.info ("reset fields: buttonID =" + uiComp.getId ());

    }

    on the other

    {

    _logger.info ("reset fields: CompID =" + uiComp.getId ());

    }

    Pass the component inside the uniforms, UIXForm, UIXSubform, UIXRegion, UIXPopup, RichCarousel

    or RichPanelCollection that contains the components to reset

    getTextIDLOV () .setValue (null);

    ResetUtils.reset (uiComp);

    }

    Using this code Iam able to clear the entrance to the text box but can not clear previously selected items from the drop-down lists when the reset button is clicked

    Can anyone please help on this issue.

    It's simple, you can set GenerateIsNullClauseForBindVars = "false" in the viewCriteria who created in EmployeeView

    After doing that it will fill the list of employees only after the Department selection

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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:

  • Have the drop-down list boxes become visible depending on the selection in a previous drop-down list box?

    Hi, im doing a form that only shows some options based on the previous selections.

    So far I have buttons which allow a user to select a specific product, and then by using the drop-down combo boxes select some optional features.

    I then have a simple javascript code that bears the name of a product at a price (i.e. the user selects product 'A', the review sections shows priced at $ 99).

    My problem is with additional customization options that depend on previous choices.

    Is it possible to have some drop-down list boxes become visible depending on the selection in a previous drop-down list box? If yes how could I impliment it?

    Currently my best idea is to have a button that could ask the user if he or she had previously chosen a certain selection and then reveal areas of correct drop-down list accordingly.

    Thank you

    Hello

    With a small change I think that the code works as expected. I changed your mainDD.value to event.value, as on the validate event the mainDD.value property cannot be updated as expected.

    this.getField("Dropdown3").display = display.hidden;

    this.getField("Dropdown4").display = display.hidden;

    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

  • 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.

    Hello

    I develop a script (in JavaScript) which will allow a user to select an export PDF presets (that are loaded in a drop-down list) and then export the InDesign file to PDF, by using the selected PDF preset.

    I have the combo fill properly and I am also able to export to PDF correctly, however I have a problem setting the preset has been selected by the user. Here are some of my code fragments:

    Drop-down list:

    with(borderPanels.add()) {

         pdfDD = dropdowns.add();

         sl = new Array();

         for (i = 0; i < app.pdfExportPresets.length; i++)

         sl.push(app.pdfExportPresets[i].name);

         pdfDD.stringList = sl;
         pdfDD.selectedIndex = 0;

    }

     

    ...

     

    myPreset = pdfDD.selectedIndex;

    In PDF format:

        // Open, Export, & Close
        for (i = myFileAmount; i >= 0; i--) {
            app.open(File(myFolderContents[i]));

            createHyperlinks();

            app.activeDocument.exportFile(
            ExportFormat.pdfType, File(myFolder.fsName + "/" + app.activeDocument.name.split(".indd")[0] + ".pdf"), false, myPreset);
            app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
        }

    During the passage of myPreset, it is defined as 6 (the index from the drop-down list).  How can I set myPreset that the real value of what has been chosen?

    Thank you!

    In view of your code, you probably need something like:

    myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName (pdfDD.stringList [pdfDD.selectedIndex]);

  • 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.

    My request is constructed using ADF and JSF (and JDev 10.1.3) and the form of a table with 2 drop downs.

  • Select the string table drop-down list box.

    Hi all

    I want to select the combo box list based on a string in the entry, I don't know how to do this. I have a drop-down list box and the value comes from a database, what I want to do is I want to change the value of the selected box based on the existing value in the database drop-down list. for example, A, B, C D I strings in the drop-down list box, and then in my database, I have a field with the string C, I want to change the C to A. I can't enter the value of C in a string format, but I don't know how to be the first position of the drop-down list box in so the order of channels combo box will be C, A, B, d., the value of C

    Thank you

    Then just write a new array of strings, with the elements of the new agenda, to the "[] strings" - property.

    Either you must code something that allows you to create an array of strings with the elements in the order that you want them to be. If there is a reorganization only, you could do something like:

    -Get the array of strings [] from the drop-down list using a property node box.

    -Find the position of the element you want to place first and use "delete from table", which returns the new array and the element removed.

    -Build a new table 1 d of the deleted item and table remaining. Move to the second combobox Strings [] property of a node property.
