FormCalc Error Handling? - Adobe LiveCycle 17-04-2010
Is there any way to implement error handling into a formcalc function?I'm using a Get function to call a file from a web server... It works if there is an internet connection but returns a formcalc error if no connection is available. I would rather return a more discriptive message to the user if no connection is available. I can't seem to find any error handling in any formcalc documentation.Im just looking for a simple if/then statement to address this... Help is appreciated.

Reading from a text file - Adobe LiveCycle 13-04-2010
I have accomplished this before but can't for the life of me remember (or find) the code I used. I need to be able to read the contents of a .txt file and automatically populate a form's text field. It would be heplfull to beable to make changes to this field and have them saved in the text file also... but it is more important to be able to just read from the file. I know the document will likely have to be a "trusted" document to accomplish this and that's fine. What I am trying to accomplish ...

Re: Check a server for a file or the contents of a file - Adobe LiveCycle 13-04-2010
BUMP...I did find the solution for this. The user had to allow this form to connect and retrieve the contents of the file and this is fine. The problem is I have lost the code I used. Anyone know how to read from a text file using Formcalc or Javascript?

Check a server for a file or the contents of a file - Adobe LiveCycle 15-07-2009
Is there JavaScript code for a form that can check a server for a file or check the contents of a file for a code and change the content or layout of a PDF form? Once I figure out how to check for a file or better yet, check the contents of the file I can then have my form change based on the presence or content of the file... For example: I might have a header bar that indicates the current terrorism threat level by displaying a specific color by uploading a file that would contain the color to...

copy to clipboard button - Adobe LiveCycle 15-06-2009
is it possible to create a button that copies a text field to the clipboard? I have a hidden field that compiles the values from multiple inputs and I want to be able to click a button to copy this information to the clipboard... Baring this the other option will to be to show the field, highlight it, and manually copy the data to the clipboard. I would think this to be a simple script but I have been unable to find it.

Dynamic drop down list - Adobe LiveCycle 14-06-2009

Am I expecting the form to act in a way it's not suposed to?Here is the senario...I have a list of options (people) that change regularly, I want to be able to update this l...

Re: Folder Level Functions - Adobe LiveCycle 27-05-2009
Yes, I am aware of that. These forms are run only in-house on three computers that are networked together on a larger network. If the file can be place on a shared network folder that would be ideal but if it has to be specific to each machine I can do that also. These forms are only run on these three computers and no where else. I have done some minor scripting in the past both with adobe forms and on the web but this seems to be a little more in-depth that what I have attempted previously. It...

Re: Folder Level Functions - Adobe LiveCycle 26-05-2009
I am clear on how to create a folder level .js file and I think I am clear where to place it but I dont understand how to load it and then refrence it when creating my livecycle form. Is there somewhere that I can get a relativly simple tutorial to walk me through the whole process... once I have the basic process down I can figure out how to add to it a nd change it. What I am trying to do is create a trusted level function to get the identity.loginName to automatically populate a text field.
