New Form Creation Issue

[gjcluttrell]

Question: I'm creating a new form with Adobe LiveCycle. Is there a way for me to create some type of on demand text box? Here's my issuse, the text reads like this "I request a purchase order for" then I have a text box so people can type in what they are requesting. If they just need to request something small it works fine but if they need to type in something like "a bus ticket from Georgia to California bla bla bla" etc, they run out of room & need to type all the information in. Is it possible for me to put a button on the form so if they need more room to type, they click click the button & the new text box will appear under the old one moving the rest of the paragraph down a line?

Hi,

Have a look at this example that demonstrate how to make fields dynamic: http://assure.ly/g80MVY.

I think it would be better work with the one field rather than introducing a new one underneath. The user input will be split between the two fields.

You can achieve it using the full event of the first textfield, ie:

textfieldOverflow.presence = "visible"; 

But I would recommend sticking with one field.

To get the paragraph/other content to move down, the page will need to be set to Flowed content type. See here: http://assure.ly/eSGQMt.

Hope that helps,
