field width or height
Falor, Brian
Does anyone happen to know of a JS code that will extract the width or height value of a field? For example, if I have a field height set up for “Expand to fit” and I want to extract the actual height of that field so that I can programmatically make an adjacent field the same height, is there a way to do this?

this.resolveNode("Height").rawValue = form1.resolveNode("Rectangle1").h;
this.resolveNode("Width").rawValue = form1.resolveNode("Rectangle1").w;
The attached PDF shows this working.

Duane,
Tried it out – almost but not quite. This code works great, but only if the first field (“Rectangle1” in this case) is not set up as “Expand to fit”. When this checkbox is checked, it seems to return a 0 value. I couldn’t think of any way to extract a value from this scenario as it doesn’t actually commit a value to the height or width value boxes when checked.

Until then it has no attributes for H and W (unless you set minH and MaxH
etc).
Since you are assigning the values to another object, you just have to copy
it over.
var newHeight = xfa.layout.h(TextField1, "in");
TextField2.h = newHeight + "in";
Based on the knowledge that it has resized.
This should work, no?

One more question to see if this is possible or not. Is there a way to assign different traits to text in the same textbox programmatically using JS. For instance if I assign a rawValue of "The dog is in the doghouse because it is snowing outside.", and I want to assign "Bold" to the portion of text "The dog" and maybe "Italic" to the portion of text "doghouse", is this possible?

This is something from a PHP script I use to align column widths between tables. Maybe it will help.
echo "function doalign() {";
echo "var hc = document.getElementById(\"header\").rows;";
echo "var dc = document.getElementById(\"detail\").rows;";
echo "if (dc.length>0) {";
echo "hc = hc[0].cells;";
echo "dc = dc[0].cells;";
echo "for (var j=0;j<dc.length;j++) {";
echo "var hw = hc[j].clientWidth;";
echo "var dw = dc[j].clientWidth;";
echo "if (hw>dw) {";
echo "dc[j].style.width = hw + \"px\";";
echo "dc[j].style.width = (hw + hw - dc[j].clientWidth) + \"px\";";
echo "}";
echo "else {";
echo "hc[j].style.width = dw + \"px\";";
echo "hc[j].style.width = (dw + dw - hc[j].clientWidth) + \"px\";";
echo "}";
echo "}";
echo "}";
echo "}";

If the layout of the form will allow you to put those adjacent fields
in a table row (just turn off borders for same appearance), then the
height of the fields will be automatically adjusted. You won't need
to write script to make the changes.
I am unaware of a property that records the current height setting
when autofit is selected.
In a flowed layout, you could do the math by using the x,y coordinates
of the object in question, and the object directly below it to
determine the field size.

In regard to the following:

If the field is set to a Rich Text Field (as opposed to Plain Text),
then you can use xhtml codes to format the data.
To test this, and see a sample:
Add a text field, set the format to rich text, save as a PDF. Open in
Acrobat (so you can extract the xml). Turn on the properties toolbar
(Ctrl + E). When typing in the text field, select pieces and apply
formatting using the property bar.
Extract the data to examine the xhtml format in that field. Forms-
>Manage Form Data-> Extract Data.

We love you!!! Do you teach courses for LC Designer? Could this
group get you do do a special one hour presentation on tips and
tricks? How can we bribe you?

I'm west coast so just getting into work. This is a great concept. I'll give it a try and let you know how it comes out. Thanks for the tip!
Have a great day!
