Re: Form layout/master page question - Adobe LiveCycle

If you create multiple Master Pages ....the 1st one will be used as the default. Then when you add a new Page to the form, you can indicate which Master page to associate with the page. This is found on the Pagination tab of the page level subform.

Re: referencing table rows question - Adobe LiveCycle

The j cannot be resolved in that expression becuae it is enclosed in the string. Write the expression this way:xfa.resolveNode("form1.Table1.Row1[" + j + "].Cell3").mandatory = "disabled

Re: Table question: Can the table gridlines be made invisible? - Adobe LiveCycle

Do you have borders on in the individual objects that make up the cells?

Re: Changing a field type programmatically? - Adobe LiveCycle

Well, win some, lose some! 🙂 Since it's a relatively small number of fields, I think I'll just set up some additional text fields, and if the numeric fields aren't null, load the text fields with the numbers as strings since they've been totaled already. If the numeric fields are null, load the text fields with "N/A". Then I can have Word pick up the text fields instead of the numeric fields.Thanks for getting back to me.

Re: How to determine if a table has no body rows?

- Adobe LiveCycle

If the count is <= 1, then you could check to see if some required field is null. If it is, then the row must be blank and the table is empty.I think. 🙂

Re: Can one make Check boxes invisible but leave the caption visible? - Adobe LiveCycle

Do not use the caption property of the field. Use a separate text to act as your caption and you can control each one separately.

Re: How to check whether mandaotry fields are filled in before saving? - Adobe LiveCycle

Works like a charm -- thanks. I put it on the MouseEnter event of the button so that it fires before the user even has the chance to trigger the save. That way the user could save what they've got and come back later and complete it (assuming that the form has the Reader extensions added).

Re: Question about making mandatory fields hidden - Adobe LiveCycle

Hehe, sorry Paul. Problem probably not the right word to use for you. How about:I get the same results with the execValidate() for hidden fields. I haven't found an easy solution to this so I've got a lot of script in my form to dynamically set the mandatory status as I do a lot of hiding.Sound better Paul? I think it is more accurate now! 🙂Tom

Re: Persistent LC crash when working on table in a form - Adobe LiveCycle

There is a posting on one of the other threads that describes how to remove all the temporary files from the app data folders. After doing that, the problem largely disappeared for me. Try searching on the words LiveCycle and Crash and you should find the information (or just fish around in app data and delete anything adobe related).

Re: How to remome table rows programmatically? - Adobe LiveCycle

Found my own error -- need to use xfa.resolveNode due to the square brackets.

Re: Field validation patterns - how sophisticated ? - - Adobe LiveCycle

Yup. That's it. Thanks. I bookmarked it since I have a use for this in the next revision of a form I'm working with.Bill

Re: Help! I locked static objects and now I have to move them! How? - Adobe LiveCycle

D'oh! Thanks. It's too bad that the Edit menu doesn't switch from "Lock" to "Unlock" depending of the sate. It's a little bit unclear . . . .

execValidate() question - how to tell where it fails? - Adobe LiveCycle

I'm using the following to check that all the required fields in the form are completed before mailing.var varcheck = xfa.form.form1.execValidate();Although all the fields highlighted in red, including a selection in a radio button group)are completed. It's still returning false. Is there a way to find out where it's failing (i.e., which required field(s) are still not filled in)?Thanks in advance.

Re: Changing field appearance programatically? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hah! Now I understand. Putting the code in the docReady event causes the code to operate when the form is opened by the *recipient*! Neat! It works perfectly.Thank so much for the help!Bill

Ampersand in string causing problems in email button - Adobe LiveCycle

I have an application in which the email subject string is constructed out of some field values. Everythign works fine, except that if the string contains an ampersand, the string construction terminates and the emai, subject is truncated. I'd like to put a reoutine in place that changes the ampersand to an "and" in the string; however, the Javascript implementation in Designer 7 doesn't support the replace method. Any ideas on how I can do this in Javascript without the replace method? Thanks!

Re: Confused about Reader Extensions - Adobe LiveCycle

It seems to be that in this case Acrobat Professional 9 (8 isn'tavailable any longer) may assist, because that seems to come withinthe usage limits. Aandi Inston

Re: How do can I have the form fill in a check box if the user has entered text in a textbox? - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks, but using your script, I'm getting a Javascript error that HasValue isn't defined. I'm using Designer 7, if that matters.

Re: Variable not being included in XML data file output

- Adobe LiveCycle

The variable you're setting does not fall within the scope of the xml output (it's scope is only within the execution of the form).Try creating a variable (Using File > Form Properties >Variable) and assigning your value to it (variableName.value = 1). One note of warning, you'll want to trigger the validation event every time the form is opened or your value will return to the default value when users re-open the form.

Yet another email question - multiple attachments - Adobe LiveCycle

I've added the Reader extensions to my form and it can now email the completed form. Because we want to use both the XML data (to populate a Word document) and also have the completed form as a reference, is it possible to have the button attach both the XML data AND the form to the email? Obviously, I can use two buttons, but since both the form and the data are going to the same mailbox, it would more efficient to have both be attached to the same email.Thanks in advance!

Re: Clearing field data when making fields invisible

- Adobe LiveCycle

Bill, you could clear the field values with this JavaScript:TextField1.rawValue = ""; or this.rawValue = "";You also could use this in an if statement indicating when the field's presence is hidden or invisible, clear the field.This would remove the data, and should not transfer to a connected database.

Re: Making another field visible based on the value selected in a drop-down box - Adobe LiveCycle

OK, I got it. I used a "switch" statement on xfa.event.newText and it works fine. However, what's odd is that I used the "if...else" conditional with it, like you suggested and it worked fine as well. Why it didn't work before I haven't a clue.
