The change below almost works perfectly. However, since this field is a
drop-down, I need it to also allow pressing the down arrow and the enter
key to select the "Not Available" option if they don't want to use the
mouse. Anyone have the syntax for that?if (this.rawValue.match(/\s+Not
Available\s+/g)){} else if
(xfa.event.newText.match(/[^0-9]/)){xfa.event.change = "";}
I have a field on a form that needs to only accept numbers (with no
dashes, spaces, commas, etc.) OR accept a specific phrase. In this case
"Not Available".In most cases the user with enter a number. But there
are instances where the number is not known, so we want to allow the
phrase Not Available to be entered into that field.Right now, I have
this code in the change eventif (xfa.event.newText.match(/[^0-9]/ ||
/\sNot Available\s/)) {xfa.event.change = "";}It works for only allowing
numbers to...
I have a submit button built into my form to lock all fields and email
the completed form to a certain address. The form has four attachments
included with it that serve as help documents for customers and those
filling in the information.I would like to strip the attachments from
the main file when the form is submitted to the office.Is this possible?
If so, how can I do it?I'm using LIveCycle Designer 8Thanks
My data is coming from an excel spreadsheet that is updated about once a
month. I am creating an XML file from that data and then importing into
my pdf. I haven't tried using an XSLT stylesheet to transform it. I'm
not familiar with them, so I will have to look into it.This is the first
time that I have pulled in outside data, so I'm trying to learn quickly.
I clicked on "List Items" in the Object/Cell tab and made a data
connection to an XML file. There are about 600 items in the data source,
so I didn't want to type them all in.
I am looking for a javascript code that I can use to sort XML data
linked to a drop-down list when the list is accessed by mouse-down. For
reasons that I can't get into here, I cannot sort the xml before loading
it into the form.I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1
Hi,I am working on a form where I want to have users enter info in a
field called "ID Number" according to a strict pattern. In this case
AAA9999-A.However, if the pattern is not met, I want the field to reset
and the focus to be put back into the field. In other words, I don't
want the user to move on in the form unless they have entered the value
in the field according to the pattern.It looks like using a validation
pattern does not have the capability of clearing the field input and
setting t...
Radzmar. Thanks. That's what I ended up doing. Copying a previous check
box that worked in the same form and then changing the name, etc was
what I ended up doing. The styles were fine working with a new form, but
for some reason it gave me problems adding a checkbox to a pre-existing
form. ???
I have a form that is used for marking down problem items, describing
the problems and assigning a value to the specified item. In some cases
the problems belong to the same class. When they do, the value
associated with the problem should only be marked once. If another
problem in the same class is documented the value should not be recorded
the second time. I have a variable that is called based on a switch
statement in the exit event of the field that records the problem item
number. The scri...
Has anyone run into a glitch where a newly added checkbox in a form will
only display an X under the default setting, but won't allow a different
style of mark, such as a check mark? I need to use the check mark style
to be consistent with the other check boxes on my form (which still
allow the check marks without a problem). Any ideas?
Doesn't work consistently.Here is the file modified with your
script:https://www.box.com/s/09dzlu2kmiv7uziqef7jThe way it should work
is that, when you enter in a code, such as 1, a type appears on the
right hand side- either C or S. A C is an automatic Fail and should
appear in the pass/fail box after entering in the 1 under the code
column. After the Fail appears, the script should be called and the
subform should appear.Then, if you were to change the 1 under the code
to a 6, the resulting ty...
I tried it again using form1, but it didn't work.When using the form,
enter in a "1" into the first box under "Code." This will turn the
Pass/Fail result to "Fail". This should prompt the subform to appear,
but it doesn't.
I am setting up a type of evaluation form that needs to have a subform
appear at the bottom whenever the evaluation fails. The subform contains
text that will describe what the person will need to do for failing the
evaluation.Right now, I have the form set up to run a script whenever
the "pass/fail" box changes. The script looks for the value of the
pass/fail box and sets the presence of the end subform to visible if the
pass/fail box text says "Fail".For some reason though, the script is not

I can get this to break without special script by scrapping the table
format and arranging subforms and textfields to look like a table.Please
see my example:http://www.box.net/shared/xmpuis4neafuf6cfd1smHowever,
because of some other formatting issues that arise when I scrap the
table format, I'm trying to avoid using this approach.Thanks,Dave
I don't think you can modify how the drop-down displays, but I came up
with something that may work for you, though I don't know if it is best
practice.You could use popUpMenu in a text field instead of using a
drop-down object.I got the idea looking at an example on assure dynamic
here:http://www.assuredynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Assure-Dynamics-Index-variable-number-of-pages.pdfI
came up with a different version that sets the raw value of the field
based on the selection in the pop...
Ok. Here is a link to my file at
box.net:http://www.box.net/shared/zzr7uisftaq1tgle34rp (is there a
better way to share a file? i don't care for box.net)When you open the
file, scroll to the second page to see the text field with the large
amount of data.Thanks.
I'm hoping that there is a quick solution for this problem that I'm not
seeing.I have a form with a table object where one of the table body
rows contains a text field that needs to break across a page. Right now
it works as long as the text field doesn't get too large. However, on
rare occassions the text field needs to store 2-3 pages worth of data.
When I test this out, the field won't break from the second to third
page.I can't show you the actual form, but I created an example form
that giv...
Hi Niall,I can make a second master page, but what I don't understand is
how to make that "Total" box appear on the first page only IF the form
ends up having more than one page.Dave
I am putting together a form that starts as one page, but can expand to
multiple pages based on user input. I am trying to figure out the best
way to make a certain subform appear on the first page of the form ONLY
when the form expands to multipe pages.Anyone have a good idea?A little
more detail: this form has a "Totals" field that is calculated based on
various data that the users input. For company reasons, this field has
to be at the end of the form. This is fine when the form info is all

Thanks for the help, but it didn't quite work.However, it was very
helpful in that I used a similar approach to get what I needed.Basically
I used Alt + 0180 to get this mark: ´I should have thought of it earlier
because I had to use Alt + 0176 to get the degree symbol in
there.Anyway, thanks for your help!Dave
Hi all,I'm trying to use the pattern feature of livecycle to help my
users with entering in GPS coordinates.I would like them to only have to
enter numbers and decimals and have the N, W, ° and ' appear
automatically. I have had success getting the first three to appear, but
can't figure out how to include the single quotation for a minute mark
since you have to use single quotations to specify the stuff you want to
appear ('N', 'W', '°', etc.)Does anyone know if it is possible to get
the ' to a...
Hi Bruce,I'm getting closer. I actually tried a variety of expressions,
such as "== null" and yours, but the problem persists.I am settling on
the following, but there is a hangup related to the field that is being
looked at for the condition that I will explain in a minute. Here's the
script:if(ViolationsTable.ViolCorrSection.ViolationsText.DebitVal.isNull
||
ViolationsTable.ViolCorrSection.ViolationsText.DebitVal.rawValue.length
==
0){ViolationsTable.ViolCorrSection.instanceManager.removeInsta...
Hi,I am hoping to have a message box appear when I delete a row of a
repeating table (remove instance in the click event of a remove button
in that row) ONLY when a certain field of that row is has an existing
value. Looking at it the other way, I don't want the message box to
appear if the field is empty and the user is just removing extra lines
for a cleaner look. In this case, the field being checked for a value is
called "DebitVal".Any ideas?Here is the script that I am trying to use
in the ...
All,Niall has answered my initial question offline (and a few others
related to my form).If it is helpful to anyone else what that solution
was, let me know and I'll post the gist of it when I get time.Thanks
again Niall!Dave
Hi Niall,I sure appreciate your help with this.I plugged in the code as
you wrote it, but it doesn't appear to be working. I tried selecting
items w/ point values, but the debit total sum didn't calculate. I also
tried selecting the item with the "C" and the debit total sum remained
"0" instead of going to blank.Ideas?Dave
Hi,Any chance that you could post this example pdf again?I need to turn
my FormCalc sum for a repeatable table into a javascript sum express
because of some additional conditions that I had to include in the
calculate field.Thanks,Dave
Niall,Would you mind helping me out a little more? My initial
calculation was in FormCalc and I'm not familiar with doing a sum
calculation for a repeating table in JavaScript. How would you convert
my previous calc script for a repeating table sum to JavaScript.I have
used the script you gave, but am unsure if it is working because my
Total Sum field is set up to either subtract the total debits from 100
or enter a C depending on whether a sum calculation was done or a ""
value was entered.Dave
Hi all,I have a repeating table that can grow/shrink depending on how
many entries a person needs. Each entry gets a value inputed in a
"score" field. If all the scores are numbers, a simple sum of all the
fields is calculated to get a number for total debit points. However,
there are cases where an entry can be a "C", meaning that the score is
Critical. In this case, the total debits sum should be blank or null.The
problem I run into is that the calculation will only work if the C
"score" is on...
