text input - character limit

Hello. I have an input textfield that is say 100 px width. Is it possible to limit the number of characters so that they fit in the field. I don't want to use maxChars since I want to use the end of the whole field different characters has different width.

Hope you understand what I mean.

You can use the TextFormat.GetTextExtent method to get the width of a string given for certain a textformat. Compare that with the textfield width and disable the entry if it reaches the limit.

see you soon,

  • Character limit for the entry of short answer?

    Cap 9.

    I use SCORM 1.2, which imposes a limit of 255 characters for the text input, however, I can't find a way to limit the entry of text box for the quiz/short answer, which means that the people of entry much more of 255 characters and submit their responses, but unbeknownst to them, the answer is off.

    Is it possible to apply a limit of characters for pre-built Answer questionnaires/Short models?

    Thank you

    You can limit the number of characters entered in a text entry area.  The maximum number of characters that will now be accepted by a BER 9 Captivate is 150 characters.  But you can set the number being less than that.

    You can certainly include an area for text input in a quiz, but it's usually only when you set the Validation option on WE so that the text of the learner is assessed to see if it matched to a correct answer.  In your case it is not necessary for a correct answer if you want just your comments.  If you do not set a Validation we then report to the Quiz option is gray.

    Developers wishing to receive feedback courses accepted by the LMS often use the value short answer question survey instead of rated.  It seems that some LMS then saves the text entered.

    If it's somewhat a catch-22.  I still believe that your best option is to simply tell users NOT to go more than a few sentences of comments.

  • Is there a character limit for prompt()?

    I came across a comment on another Web site to the effect that the method overall prompt() will crash PhotoShop if the user types more than 255 characters in the text field. From my brief experience today, I would say that the same limit applies as well to InCopy and InDesign. If anyone else has experienced this?

    I guess that the next step would be to use ScriptUI to create a text input dialog box.

    ... Here's a quick version of a quicker dialogue. I just tested and could paste 29 721 characters in there. No idea where that limit.

    text = largerPrompt ("Hello there!");
    alert ("you entered "+text.length+" characters");
    exit();
    
    function largerPrompt (title)
    {
        var w = new Window("dialog", title);
        var textfield = w.add ("edittext", [0, 0, 500, 300], "", {multiline: true});
        textfield.text = "Paste or type text in here\rUse Ctrl+Tab to insert a Tab, Ctrl+Enter to insert a Hard return";
        textfield.active = true;
        with (w.add("group"))
        {
            orientation = "row";
            add ("button", undefined, "OK");
            add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");
        }
        if (w.show()==2)
            return null;
    
        return textfield.text;

  • Character limit to the custom calculation Script?

    Hello. I have a document that has a text form field. I want to run a custom calculation script which basically says if field 'Number group' = xxxxxxx, so the 'Group name' field should = ABC company.

    I have a list of almost 575 group numbers and names that I need to put in the script. And I have the script works fine, but I'm guessing that there is a limit of characters for the field script? It doesn't let me put my complete list in there.

    Any suggestions on how to work around this problem?

    Thank you

    Yes, there is a character limit for internal JS Editor. The round it is to use an external, such as Notepad.

    Do go to Edit - Preferences - JavaScript and select "Use the external JavaScript editor" and then select the application you want to use.

    Don't forget, however, that you must close the external file each time that change you it if you want to update in the PDF file.

  • Difficulty of text input

    Whenever I'm in an area of text input in Firefox mobile, it is extremely difficult to get the text that is entered correctly. Firefox "stutters", hesitating before accepting most of the characters and will usually insert a space between each of them and never only one of them as well. This forces me to go back through the entrance once I have completed and delete all added spaces. I also invariably have to retype all the 'i's, because Firefox has converted to capital I's, seeing them as independent. It is a constant problem with Firefox endless. It never goes away.

    In addition, Firefox often randomly will close the window keyboard and suddenly will return to the main screen, sometimes taking on itself to press < return > keyboard in the process, usually having a bad entrance result and forcing me to laboriously start all over again.

    I love Firefox on my desktop and would gladly use it on my mobile as well, but right now, the only time wherever I ever use Firefox mobile is when I make a large download, because it manages downloads better than the default Android browser. For all other uses, it is simply too awkward, with the fiasco of text entry and done a very unpleasant experience.

    We have the best compatibility with the current keyboard. Swype or Swiftkey or similar keyboards may cause problems. You can switch quickly tapping long on an input in Firefox field and choosing "select input method.

    We have better support of 3rd keyboard part. This work must be carried out in March or April of the year.

  • Is there a way I can change text entry in Apple TV like it's pathetic. The former arrangement was much better and we now have to scroll back to the text input as identification of email in every app feels like the stone age technology.

    Input test Apple tv interface is so pathetic and primitive and feels like the stone age. Its the most boring I've had in any interface computer or "smart." Is there a way to enter (say spell out) e-mail ID that cannot be recognized by voice, and that voice recognition is better compared to google.

    Use the remote app. Or wait for the future update which allows for voice text input, Bluetooth, keyboards etc.  You can always send feedback to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • How is the character limit 256 on the applied file names?

    I understand that a file name can be up to 256 characters.

    It seems that the 256 characters includes the total number of characters that make up the complete chain of the folder associated with the file names.  Is that why when I get to the folder (for example) fifteenth in the folder tree that I have run out of characters, even if the name of the file, I'm trying to create has only about 20 characters in there?

    If this is the case, is it possible to adjust the number of allowed characters?

    If this is not the case why is my system not allowing me to use more than (for example) 20 characters when I am in a long series of files?

    Hello

    256 character limit applies as well the full path. So, if you have a long series of records, it does not accept the name of the file.  You will need to either move the files to shorten the path, or rename the folders to shorten the chain for the path name.

  • How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

    How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

    I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.

    For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".

    I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.

    I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

  • Reports on the text input areas

    Hi all

    I created a text input in my captivate lesson areas for the learner to write and think, but they are not part of a blade of Captivate Quiz. Is it possible to always report on inputs and that the learner writes in these boxes? My LMS is the key.

    Thank you!

    Kelly

    I could report to Blackboard, see the entry on a BER, but not sure that this is the case for all LMS.

  • Accounts-character limit

    Can someone advise what is the character limit for accounts?

    I noticed that the documentation mentions this is 30, but when you check the area under views it shows 80 and we can add an account liked 30.

    If the field has been changed to 80 are here all other conflicts he might encounter if I go beyond the limit of 30? or they simply updated the doco.

    Thanks for your help

    Nick

    Hi Nick,

    Yes, the account name may be longer than 30 characters in 11.1.1.6. The 30 character limit was the limit old 10g but has been extended to 80 characters.

    This limit is set in the database tables and can go to 80 characters in 11.1.1.6.0.

    SQL > describe documentaccounts;

    Type VARCHAR2 (80)

    80 characters by default and is related to the limit of the OS because the account name is used as part of the file name.

    Documentation has not updated this information to newer versions.

    Thank you

  • Site e-commerce attributes allows you to create a text input field

    Hey BC community.

    Wondering if anyone has been able to create any specialized code to use an attribute field of e-commerce as a text input field?

    I have a clients who must capture the different fields of the customer on the great product view.  Unfortunately I have no more slots (yup - exhausted all 4 slots custom, unit type, product meta, etc) so I can use the idea of 'How to Set Up Instructions special box', that I need to put the < input > fields in support of content, as not all of these products have this entry required fields.

    Long story short, does anyone know how to use the {tag_attributes} of the ecommerce platform to create user, which will be fine input fields course, fill in the shopping cart as well?

  • perform the action of the button method without raising of validation of text input

    Hello
    My English is not very good
    I use jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0

    I have a button and an inputText (with validation) on the page. I set an action to the button method.
    When I click the button, the text input validation lift and method of the button does not work.
    If I put immediate = true for the button, then the validation raises, but in this case also the button method doesn't work.
    How can I run action method of the button without text input validation?

    Habib

    + 1

    the method must be called. Immediate = "true" on a circumvention of the JSF update model button so that for example submit and commit have no impact (just in case that's what you mean by method)

  • validate the value of a text input field

    Hi I am new to the Animate edge, and I worked on a project that requires text input. The code does not "recognize" the value entered in the input field. The action is quite straightforward, good answer (360) game label 02, wrong answer play label 03. Ideally, I'd like to allow three attempts.  I don't have a lot of experience in JavaScript, this piece of code are pieces that I put in place of tutorial and a little help.  Thank you and I appreciate all the help!

    var answer = sym.$("answer");

    Answer.html ("answer 1");

    Hello

    Try to use the following syntax to get the value of the input text field.

    var rightAnswer = inputAnswer.val (); rather than access the .attr ('value')

    Have attached a simple example. Currently, it shows the correct/incorrect value in the console log.

    Thank you and best regards,

    I am relatively new to Captivate 7.  I am doing a project which has a couple of slides with text input boxes (TEBs).  They are not marked nor part of the graduate quiz.  They are more like knowledge-check questions as we go through the course.  How to make sure that they are filled before moving on to the next slide?  Is it possible to go about this?  The other thing is exactly how a submit button for this work?  I did an overview of my project and the submit button doesn't seem to be something.  Help, please.
