I have today tried to send the data via a form but the data must go in a post uri, Is there a way of appending the params to the form uri in a view which I could then submit a click to.
I have tried the code below. However,
driver.findElement(protractor.By.name('formelement')).setAttribute('action', attr);
returns Object has no method setAttribute
driver.findElement(protractor.By.name('externalFormData')).getText().then(function(result){
var attr = driver.findElement(proractor.By.name('formelement').getAttribute('action');
attr += result;
driver.findElement(protractor.By.name('formelement')).setAttribute('action', attr);
driver.findElement(protractor.By.name('submitRequest')).click();
});
Julie Ralph, the lead developer on protractor says its not (natively) possible here:

A user wouldn't set an attribute, so it's not a feature of webdriver. Can you find a way of running your test manually just using your page? It seems that you might have to use angular and $http.post() instead of just relying on the 's action attribute.
Personally, this stinks a little. I have tests timing out because sendKeys is so slow on long text files. I'll keep you updated if I find a good work-around. Maybe there needs to be a 'pasteTextBlock' instead of 'sendKeys' ... by Julie's rationale a user might copy and paste rather than key in...

This is likely an issue with my inexperience using React generally, but I'd still greatly appreciate any insights.
I've added a commenting plugin to the TipTap editor.
When I create a new comment, it creates a DB record for the comment and I store that new comment in a state value (React) which is an array of all comments.
Then I return the ID which I use in a setComment (Mark) command that wraps the selection in a span with a commentId on the data-comment attribute.
When I click on that span, I can get the ID value, but the editor selectionUpdate function doesn't see the updated value. The page can access it fine, but that function can't see it until the page is reloaded.
How do I convince the editor to recognize the updated value in that function?
A minimal app demo can be found here:
Once you make a comment, and click on it, you'll see that it doesn't find the newly added comment. That's what I'm try to fix. It should be able to find it.
I understanding the the useEffect isn't being updated because the dependency array does not include chapterComments - but if I add it, then selectionUpdate runs multiple times and only the last one is accurate. I don't know how to appropriate destroy or update the editor instance - though I assume that's what I need to do.
The TipTap editor hook, const editor = useEditor, has it's own dependency array. Instead of trying to use useEffect with an editor dependency, just use the built in one for any values the editor needs to keep track of.

Im trying to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document.Close() in a .net 3.5 windows form app.
No matter how much I search here and on Google I cannot find the correct parameters to put in the Close method.
I am using version 14.0.0.0 of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word and I would like to close the document without saving and ideally ensure that the application can isolate the document thread so that users can still open word documents outside the running application.
See the Close method of the Document class described in MSDN. If you need to omit the parameter and use the default value - pass the Type.Missing parameter.
Try this:
object doNotSaveChanges = Word.WdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges;
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
_Document.Close(ref doNotSaveChanges, ref missing, ref missing);
This is the source
I'm not sure if you'll need the middle line or not. It's not from the original source it's from here
I do a standard pattern in my application - a link to /controller/delete/object_id, then a post form to "confirm", a check if $this->request->is('post') and if true - the controller deletes the object from database.
What is weird is that for a single, particular object_id, my browser (Firefox) forces the form to be a GET one. With any other object_id everything is ok, but with this particular one, despite all declarations within form tag and etc. brower generates a GET request.
Do you have any clue what this might be?! I even tried to use brower's private mode, because I thought it can be some garbage in browser cache, but the bug is still here.
I managed to bypass this problem:
define a specific action in form->create, pointing to your controller' method
add a hidden field with object_id
add some additional code in the controller method to get object_id from $this->request->data, because a hidden post field is not passed as an argument to method, as it is with GET method.
This way, to some unknown reason, it just works. Anyway, I still feel I'm doing something wrong. It's not as "clean" as I would expect.
How can you get the value of a <textarea> and store it in a MySQL database table?
I'm using TinyMCE 3.3.9.3.
Seeing as no one has answered your question I thought I'd chip in. Have you ever managed to get any form data passed into a database before (I.E is it just accessing a textarea that's the problem), or is this a general question about how to put form data into databases?
One thing I would strongly recommend is moving away from WYSIWYG style editors if your seriously considering doing web development properly. From experience no matter how good they claim to be you'll always encounter cross browser problems and at some point you'll have to dig into the code and understand it.
Sorry this isn't a direct answer, but with a bit more info as to what you need to know I'm sure we can help... I warn you though, if you've not had much experience at this some of the answers could be a bit deep. I think maybe this is why you've not had any responses because the answer require could potentially be quite epic,lol.

The tinymce editor id equals the textarea id.
Assuming that editor is your tinymce editor instance you may use the following to get the textareaa content (which is then equal to the editor content).
editor.triggerSave(); // update the textarea
var textarea_element = document.getElementById(editor.id); // get the updated textarea
var content = textarea_element.innerHTML; // this is the content
// now you need to call a script to save the content (i suggest you use ajax)

I am trying to figure out how to make a hyperlink in a Livecycle Form which points to a URL which will change on different days that the form is rendered. For example on one day I might want the hyperlink to point to:
mywebsite/mypage?option=XXX
and on another day I want it to point to:
mywebsite/mypage?option=YYY
The XXX and YYY can be passed into the form's data pretty easily as XML, but I just don't know how to make it so that the hyperlink is changed to correspond to this.
Any suggestions?
This can be accomplished with JavaScript in LiveCycle Designer. The following script, placed on the Form's docReady event will let you dynamically change the URL of a text object.
form1::docReady - (JavaScript, client)
// If this code is running on the server, you don't want it to run any code
// that might force a relayout, or you could get stuck in an infinite loop
if (xfa.host.name != "XFAPresentationAgent") {
// You would load the URL that you want into this variable, based on
// whatever XML data is being passed into your form
var sURL = "www.stackoverflow.com"; // mywebsite/mypage?option=xxx
// URLs are encoded in XHTML. In order to change the URL, you need
// to create the right XHTML string and push it into the Text object's
// <value> node. This is a super simple XHTML shell for this purpose.
// You could add all sorts of markup to make your hyperlink look pretty
var sRichText = "<body><p>Foo</p></body>";
// Assuming you have a text object called "Text1" on the form, this
// call will push the rich text into the node. Note that this call
// will force a re-layout of the form
this.resolveNode("Text1").value.exData.loadXML(sRichText, false, true);
}
There are a couple of caveats: URLs in Acrobat are only supported in Acrobat 9.0 and later. So if someone using an older version of Acrobat opens your form, the URLs won't work.
Also, as you can see from the "if (xfa.host.name !=...)" line, this code won't run properly if the form is being generated on the server, because forcing a re-layout of a form during docReady can cause problems on certain older versions of the LiveCycle server. If you do need to run this script on the server, you should probably pick a different event then form::docReady.
I a number of complaints from users in WorkSpace that clicking links opened them in the same tab so they lost their WorkSpace form, and there's no option to change that in Designer 11. I think the solution I came up with for that would work for you too.
I made buttons with no border and no background, and in their click event have this line (in Javascript, run at client)
app.launchURL("http:/stackoverflow.com/", true);
It would be easy to add some logic to choose the right URL based on the day and it doesn't cause any form re-rendering.
In some spots where the hyperlink is in line with other text, I leave the text of the link blue and underlined but with no hyperlink, and just place the button (no background, no border, no caption) over it. Does require positioned and not flowed subforms for that to work, so depending on your layout it could get a little clunky.
Wow, just realized I am super late to the party. Well, for anyone using ES4 facing a similar problem . . .
Ended up using a 3rd party component to manipulate the PDF's hyperlinks...wish there was a better solution as this one costs about $1000.
