Hi,



We've bough Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, I've create a Form whit LiveCycle Designer including a Reset Button but my problem is : I don't want all the field to be reset when Users click on it.



And when I'm on LiveCycle the Palette don't have the Actions Tab like in the Adobe Writer. I've tried to right the Java Script but didn't work...

Need help please!

Have you tried:



xfa.host.resetData( [

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.AssignedTo",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox1[0]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox1[1]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox1[2]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox1[3]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox1[4]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox2[0]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox2[1]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox2[2]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox2[3]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox2[4]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox2[5]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ChexkBox2[6]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.DateTimefield3",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.Description",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.EndTime",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ExecutedBy",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.ReportedBy",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.Resolution",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.StarDate",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TextField5[0]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TextField5[1]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TextField5[2]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TextField5[3]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TextField8[0]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TextField8[1]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TextField8[2]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TextField8[3]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TextField8[4]",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TicketDate",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.TicketTime",

"xfa.form.HelpDesk.UserPhone"

] )



The description calls for a list of field names separated by comas. So it would appear each field name is within quotes and each quoted string is separated by a coma. White space makes it easier to read.

My mistake, as per the example in the Scripting help file of LiveCycle Designer, you have to specify the fully qualified field name. It appears you are missing one of the hierarchical level names. But with seeing the form in LiveCycle Designer, I can not tell which one.



I found the following script in the "LiveCycle Designer Scripting Basics"



var f1 = this.parent.somExpression + ".TextField2" + ",";

var f2 = f1 + this.parent.somExpression + ".DropDownList1" + ",";

var f3 = f2 + this.parent.somExpression + ".NumericField1";

// ...and pass the variable as a parameter.

xfa.host.resetData(f3);



So you should be able to do:



var f1 = ".AssignedTo, ";

var f2 = f1 + this.parent.somExpression + ".ChexkBox1[0], ";

var f3 = f2 + this.parent.somExpression + ".ChexkBox1[1], ";

// and so on

var f32 = f31 + this.parent.somExpression + ".UserPhone";

xfa.host.resetData(f32);

"xfa.form.helpdesk.AssignedTo,

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox1[0],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox1[1],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox1[2],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox1[3],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox1[4],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox2[0],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox2[1],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox2[2],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox2[3],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox2[4],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox2[5],

xfa.form.helpdesk.ChexkBox2[6],

xfa.form.helpdesk.DateTimefield3,

xfa.form.helpdesk.Description,

xfa.form.helpdesk.EndTime,

xfa.form.helpdesk.ExecutedBy,

xfa.form.helpdesk.ReportedBy,

xfa.form.helpdesk.Resolution,

xfa.form.helpdesk.StarDate,

xfa.form.helpdesk.TextField5[0],

xfa.form.helpdesk.TextField5[1],

xfa.form.helpdesk.TextField5[2],

xfa.form.helpdesk.TextField5[3],

xfa.form.helpdesk.TextField8[0],

xfa.form.helpdesk.TextField8[1],

xfa.form.helpdesk.TextField8[2],

xfa.form.helpdesk.TextField8[3],

xfa.form.helpdesk.TextField8[4],

xfa.form.helpdesk.TicketDate,

xfa.form.helpdesk.TicketTime,

xfa.form.helpdesk.UserPhone")



But the reset button still resetting all. Is it possible to write something like (reset all, execpt that field) ?

My mistake. The code should read:



var f1 = this.parent.somExpression + ".AssignedTo, ";

var f2 = f1 + this.parent.somExpression + ".ChexkBox1[0], ";

var f3 = f2 + this.parent.somExpression + ".ChexkBox1[1], ";

// and so on

var f32 = f31 + this.parent.somExpression + ".UserPhone";

xfa.host.resetData(f32);



"this.parent.somExpression" will generate the fully qualified reference for the field.

the sentence is :



var f1 = this.parent.somExpression + ".AssignedTo" + ",";

var f2 = f1 + this.parent.somExpression + ".ChexkBox1[0]" + ",";

var f3 = f2 + this.parent.somExpression + ".ChexkBox1[1]" + ",";

// etc

xfa.host.resetData(f32);



Even like that the reset button is resetting all field.

Here is a working example. You have to get the fully qualified name exactly correct.

I totally understand your frustration. There are many responses on these forums but none of them describe HOW to customize a script phrase for use in your own form. For those of us that are not versed in the language of Script, we need a FORMULA for customizing our own script. Here is one of the posts i found that i was able to use and it worked.

http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc43c8b/0

also please note that while this is only for one object i did try pressing enter after the phrase and typing in the same formula using a different objects name and it worked. So you can use the same button to reset a group of fields.



Hope this helped

Have you looked at:



http://forum.planetpdf.com/wb/default.asp?action=9&fid=131&read=59260



It shows the code for each button. One has to get the field qualified reference exactly correct.
