Re: How can I reuse a script to set variables? - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks, Mattias, that helped a lot. I was confused because I didn't understand the names related to each other, so your example clarified that. I found that one other thing I had to do is set my variables as universal variables in Form Properties, because they would not carry over to where I was calling them from when I ran the script. So ended up having to use ".value" for the variables. I have a bunch of submit buttons on this form, so I needed a way to create a consistent set of headings acro...

Re: Remove a subform permanently using javascript - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks, I checked the "Preserve scripting changes" setting and it was already set. I had only one field set to global binding, so I disabled that and it still had the same problem. I do have a lot of the same field names in both sections, such as Departure Date, Return Date, etc.. It would be too much work to rename them all to unique names. The solution I found was to put a script in the docReady event of the main selector button (Domestic/Foreign), to re-apply the setInstances count when re-op...

Sorry, I cried victory too soon..... The form seems to "forget" that the instance was set to zero, and after I save it and reopen it, the previously deleted instance shows up with all blank fields. I've got the form saving to version 9.1 and later. Any ideas?

Re: How to force alpha or numeric inside text fields - LiveCycle Designer 9.0 - Adobe LiveCycle

I figured it out! It just needs to be like this://replace @ with "@domain.com"if (xfa.event.change == "@") { xfa.event.change = "@domain.com";}So it will generate the suffix string only when you press "@", and it allows corrections without duplication, etc.

Re: Make fields required in expanding table - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I can't send you the form because it's an internal government form. But please tell me what the issue is. I have since adopted a different method of handling this situation -- I simply make the fields in the new row required and the general form validation handles any empty field errors upon submitting. If you need to hide/show the table dynamically or make the fields required/not required dynamically, you have to add some scripting to make the fields in the new row mandatory. For some rea...

Re: How to force alpha or numeric inside text fields - LiveCycle Designer 9.0 - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks, Radzmar, it works! But there's one little issue -- if I press the Backspace key to make a correction, or even type in any other letters, it adds another "@domain.com" with every keystroke. The only way I have found to get around it is to manually select the entire portion containing all the ampersands and then press Delete. Any way to solve that?

Re: Mandatory check box before form submission - Adobe LiveCycle

I know this thread is old, but just for future visitors.....If you want to require one of two checkboxes be marked before submitting, you can simplify the above with code like this in the "dummy" button.

The "real" button is hidden, "Submit" control type, and has no script.if ((checkBox1.rawValue == "1") || (checkBox2.rawValue == "1" )) { SubmitButton_Real.execEvent ("click"); // the "real" button is the hidde...

Remove a subform permanently using javascript - Adobe LiveCycle

I have a travel approval form that has two sections -- Domestic and Foreign. Both sections have many required fields. I set up a radio button at the top to select one of those options, so if the user selects Domestic, I want the Foreign section to disappear completely. The problem I'm having is that it doesn't disappear -- it's no longer visible but it seems to reside somewhere in memory. Then, when I use a Submit button to send the completed form, I get an error message saying there are require...

Remove a subform permanently - Adobe LiveCycle

I have a travel approval form that has two sections, Domestic and Foreign. I set up the Domestic portion in one subform, the Foreign in another. At the top I have a radio for Domestic/Foreign, so the user clicks one and the unused section is supposed to disappear. The reason I want it to disappear and not just be hidden is because both sections contain required fields, so if I just hide the unused one, It still says there are incomplete fields when submitting. I have tried using the setInstances...

Re: Ampersand (&) in a field value is disrupting my e-mail script - Adobe LiveCycle

Hey genel89623801, that did the trick! I had definitely not gotten past the issue and had resigned myself to replacing the ampersand with "and".Using the encodeURIComponent function wouldn't work for me within the body of the e-mail script, though I tried using value, rawValue and full XFA path notation with it. But it did work when I replaced the ampersand in a variable first, outside of the e-mail script, as below. I consider resolving this minor annoyance a great success. Thanks for the help....

Re: Ampersand (&) in a field value is disrupting my e-mail script - Adobe LiveCycle

Yes, I eventually had to do that. Before the e-mail is generated I just take the value of the department and convert any ampersands to the word "and". They bosses want to keep the "&" in the names in the drop-downs since that's how they're officially written. Thanks again for the replies.

Re: Ampersand (&) in a field value is disrupting my e-mail script - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks for the responses. Sorry genel89623801, but I don't understand the suggestion. Where my script is having trouble is in the body of the e-mail where the "Department" field is (line 7). Some department names have an ampersand in them (e.g., Litigation & Enforcement), so the script just breaks right at that point.

So the script picks up a value of the name of one of the departments, which can have an ampersand, like "Advisory Board & Councils".

Re: Why do I get a message saying "____ cannot be left blank" error message upon opening a form? - Adobe LiveCycle

I decided to put my validation script in the mouseEnter event of the Submit button. If the form validates, the button turns green. It's not a real-time validation like it was with the script in the layout:ready event, but it's a close second. In any case, it does improve the performance and usability of the form, because I noticed that it was slowing down the keyboard a little with the original setup because it was constantly validating. Now there's no delay.
