It actually does work, but for some reason only on the second click.
When I first clicked it just moved the page to the top, then I scrolled
down to the post with the attachment, clicked it again, and the download
started.
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...
I have a script to set some variables and I need to run the script many
times throughout the form, for different users at different times. How
can I set up the script as an object in Variables and call it when I
need to run it? Greatly appreciate any help. I'm using ES3.var
emailSubject = "";var cleanDate =
Page1.EventDetails.Block2.SpeakingDate.rawValue.replace(/[\/]/g,
"-");var eventName = Page1.EventDetails.Block1.EventName.rawValue;var

The best method is to change the text to uppercase as it's being typed
in:Add this to the "change" event:xfa.event.change =
xfa.event.change.toUpperCase();
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?
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.
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...
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?
Hi all,In addition to my question above, I have another: I have an
e-mail field where all users will be entering the same domain after the
"@". Is there a way to automatically replace the "@" with "@domain.com"?
I have used the code below (and other variations of it, using quotation
marks, etc.) and haven't been able to make it work:if
(xfa.event.newText.match(/[@]/)) { xfa.event.change =
"@domain.com";}Great appreciate any help!
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
"dummy" button should be visible, "Regular" control type, and contains
the script. 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...
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...
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...
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....
That worked like a charm! That's what happens when you learn to script
through the school of hard knocks, just fumbling your way through it --
I just had to teach myself javascript, so I never discovered this
function before. Really appreciate the help.
Please see the screenshots for the question/radio button I'm scripting.
If "No" is clicked I would like it to delete all rows except the first
one. So if the user first clicks Yes, adds a bunch of rows and then
clicks No, I want all the extra rows to be deleted. I'm using the script
below but it only deletes half of the rows at a time. I have to click No
2-3 times to delete all the rows. Greatly appreciate any help!// remove
extra rows that may have been addedvar rowCount =

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.
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.
How do I format a field to allow users to enter HMM (no colon) and
display H:MM? I have put time{H:MM}|time{HHMM} in the Data pattern (it
won't accept |time{HMM}, but it doesn't do the trick. The field still
requires four digits to format automatically with the colon.
I made a form for others and they're getting this same message about
Korean Language Support. I get no such message on my machine. I haven't
made any language changes recently (or ever, for that matter). I checked
every single object and they were all set to either US or Default/US. I
have now set them all to US but they still get the same message. I
searched through the XML for "locale="k", "ko_kr" and "ko_" and nothing
turned up. Any ideas? Greatly appreciate any help.
Hello Bruce,Thanks for your reply. I tried using that escaped value and
it didn't work. I'm using a the script below in a dummy button which
"clicks" a hidden submit button. So the script picks up a value of the
name of one of the departments, which can have an ampersand, like
"Advisory Board & Councils". So when the script runs I don't get an
error (even with the debugger), it just chops everything that comes
after that point in the script. When I click the Submit button that has
the script bel...
The script in my original post is in a radio button, which I have in the
change event. I ended up having to put the same thing into the Doc Ready
event to make the removed subforms "stay" removed. I still hope someone
can shed some light on this.
I'm using a script to delete subforms. It works while the PDF is open --
the subform disappears. But after saving and closing the document, then
reopening it, the deleted subform reappears. I duplicated line 2 and I
get an error on it because the subform is gone and can no longer be
deleted, so I know it's working. What am I
missing?form1.Subform.occur.min =
"0";form1._Subform.removeInstance(form1.Subform.index);I have also tried
this and it has the same result:form1.Subform.occur.min =
"0";form...
It worked, thanks! I haven't used many custom functions before, so I
didn't know had to use the objName.functionName format to call it. So I
set it up like below, in the Exit event, because if I left it without
the if statement and then typed something, exited the field, and came
back to delete it, it would add "null" (in actual text) to the field.
Please let me know if you see anything I need to fix.// remove leading
and trailing spacesif (this.rawValue != null) { this.rawValue =

OK, thanks for that explanation, very helpful. So, I have one more
question, sorry. I'm not that experienced with javascript, so I don't
know how to call the function. Do I have to create a new script object
and put your script in there?
One other thing just occurred to me -- perhaps you have the script in a
Date field. I used a text field, so that I could run my own script
without interference from any automated functions in the Date Field
object type. I don't know if that might make any difference with the
type conversion issue.
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.
