Floating Text Objects Bound to Fields

[NicolleP]

Hello!

I have several floating text objects bound to corresponding fields (text and numeric) and they work fine... expect when I hide the fields and then the bound text in the floating text objects also disappears.

Did I miss a step?

Thank you!

Have you made the floating fields inactive, hidden or invisible?

Thank you for your reply!

I actually found out what my issue was - I had the sourcing text field and the bound floating text wrapped in two different subforms.

Thank you!

I'm attempting to do something similar with floating fields in a form letter.  I have set up my form naming the text and floating fields the same, and set the binding to Global.  When I enter text in the "Company_Name" field, which has the java script "xfa.layout.relayout();"in the Exit action, the Company_Name value does not appear where I placed the "Company_Name" floating field in the text block on the same screen.  If I un-hide the floating field, the value is displayed in a text field at the top left corner of the page.

Here's the link to the form:  Dropbox - Non-Disclosure and Non-Compete Agreement - LC Original.pdf

Any ideas on how I can get this to work properly?  I have a bunch of similar forms that I have to do.

These screen shots are for the floating field used in the text box.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Dean

Another bit of info on my previous post....

If I set a default value in the Customer_Name text field, the floating field shows the value in the text box as it should.  It seems like the form needs to be recalculated or something, but I have a java script in the Exit action of the field to do a xfa.layout.relayout();.

Stumped...

If anyone is following this thread, I found the solution to my problem where the Floating Fields did not work.  BTW, I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 4.

Under Form Properties/Defaults, you need to change "Choose Target Version" to "Adobe and Adobe Reader 9.1 or later".  Save the change, and floating fields should work now.
