Hi Niall,
I am back again with an update..I found something strange with my scripts since they are not working the way I would have hoped for. Can you plz help me understand what I am doing wrong!
In my last post I had mentioned to you that for some reason the fields in the Masterpages are getting reset to default when I modified paul's original script so the buttons in the fields are also "hidden" when user clicks on "lock fields" button. Here is my last post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4067867#4067867
Basically, the reason for why I was trying to do the above cuz I am trying to hide the "Add Row" and the "Delete Rows" buttons for the dynamic rows in the form as well. So i thought i will try a different method this time. Further to that, I scratched that idea and instead added the scripts to the "Click" function of the button itself like this:
form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.ButtonFinalizeForm::click - (JavaScript, client)
myScriptObject.LockAllFields(form1);
//script to lock the fields in the master pages
companyLogo.access = "readOnly";
DateTimeField1.access = "readOnly";
DropDownList1.access = "readOnly";
TextField1.access = "readOnly";
ButtonResetLogo.presence = "invisible";
//script to hide the add row and delete row buttons in the form
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.addRowbtn.ButtonaddRow.presence = "invisible";
//couting the number of dynamic rows in form and starting loop to hide the delete row button
var countRows = form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count;
for(var i=0; i<countRows; i++){
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.resolveNode("Row1["+i+"]").deleteRowBtn.ButtonDeleteRow.presence = "invisible";
}
From the above scripts you can see that I am doing the following:
Step 1: first locking and hiding the fields in the Masterpage content first.
Step 2: Then, I am hiding the "Add row" button in the form
Step 3: Next I am running to loop and hiding the "Delete Row" buttons in the tables inside the form.
Strange Behaviour:
Case 1: I have noticed that when I click the lock field Button now, it hides the buttons inside the form but the fields in the masterpages are reset to default, Meaning the filled content inside these fields only in masterpages are deleted and also the script to lock these fields are resetted as well so they dont work.
Case 2: But, if i remove the code to hide the "Add Row" button (as mentioned in Step 2), the rest of the script works fine. In this case, the delete rows buttons are hidden, the rest of the fields are hidden (as per the original code) and also the fields in masterpages are locked as well.
So here, I find that the problem is when I add this script to hide the "Delete Row" button inside the form:
//script to hide the add row and delete row buttons in the form
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.addRowbtn.ButtonaddRow.presence = "invisible";
I have no idea why this is happening. Can you plz help me understand how I can overcome this?
) and that works but the form stays unfillable. I also tried to place "myScriptObject.UnLockAllFields(form1);" before it and after it as well. When i tested, it doesn't work.
