I have trouble trying to use an array as elements of drop-down list. I tried to google it, but it only leaded me to the official document which list all the options, but my variables will dynamically change when you rerun the code. Thx in advance.
btw, I converted it to a list only because I saw one post saying a list works... but it doesn't work on my end...
Here's my simple code. The last line need some fix.

I have a number of form inputs inside an element as they are repeated in other forms, however it does not output the content of the element when i include it in a view. I can place "Die();" within the element and it will show everything up until that point including the inputs within the element. When checking the source code (without the "Die();") it seems to have disregarded everything within the element including formatting such as DIV's.
The only thing i can think is that cakephp does not like you setting a form in a view then including inputs to the form using elements, does any one know if this is the case, or know the actual reason why this is happening?
The answer is i'm an idiot and forgot to echo the element.... yeah.
In Articulate's Storyline product, how does one retrieve the total number of slides (or pages) in a storyfile or project?
There's not much documentation so it's kind of hard to figure out how to query common environment values like this. If we can get the total number of slides then we don't have to manually set a value for it.
One must manually set and update a variable to store the number of slides.
The most lengthy conversation on the matter seems to be found here at the Articulate forums.
In that thread the users and staff describe the need to manually define such a variable.
I asked the question on the official forum more directly here, and so far have not received a response.
Another poster at that forum mentioned using PHP to solve this problem, but unfortunately we can't add the requirement of PHP to the final product. I'm sure some server side language tricks might be used to solve this issue, but that also adds the dependency of a particular server-side language.
The Answer Mark gave is correct. So if you want to track the number of question slides in a quiz you would either hard code the value in a variable such as totalQuestions, or increment it as you go through each slide using adjust variable trigger. To call that value and display it on screen you would just add it to a text field and surround it with "%".
EG. "You have answered %Results.ScorePoints% out of %totalQuestions% questions correctly."
I find it rather pointless to hard code it since it's just as easy to put the value in the text field at the end. Using the increment method seems more logical because then you can add more question slides without having to adjust the variable or results screen each time.
I usually load frame.xml, browse for all slidelink tags and sort all slides by their Id.
Usually you get something like slideid=_player.5xoxGTW6QCh.6bmeRt3tCqP, where 5xoxGTW6QCh is the scene id and 6bmeRt3tCqP is the slide id. displaytext also gives you the slide title.
If you browse for slidetranscript and match the Id for each transcript you also get the slide notes.
Articulate 360 now has an internal (Built-in) variable for this and other counts. See Project.TotalSlides and Menu.TotalSlides

I am stumped beyond belief.
I have a select box being generated by the cakephp form helper. I am feeding it an array of options, and passing an empty value... pretty standard stuff.
However, my "empty" field is showing up at the very bottom of the list.. not the top. So when the field loads, it just defaults to the first option... which is not the "empty" option.
Not a whole lot of room for error on the code here..
echo $this->Form->input('whatever',array('empty'=>'Choose One','options'=>$categories));
The only small item that might be important, is that $categories is a multi-array, so the select box has optgroups & options.
Is there some quirk/bug out there that I do not know of that is trying to force me to sneak into my scotch supply a few hours ahead of schedule?
edit: using the latest release of cakephp 1.3.x
I think that I once had the same problem.
It turned out to be the data (options array).
Is there an option with an empty key? probably the last one then.
this lead to the scenario I remember and seems to be the exact same thing.
the form helper will override this empty key value pair then and not create a second one.
without more infos from your end this will be difficult to solve.
I need to find any extra links and print them out. I started by doing:
get_xpath_count('//li/a')
and comparing it to the size of an array that holds the name of all the links for the sidebar. When the count is too high/low, I need to print out all the extra/missing links. I would like to make a list of the names so I can compare it to the array. I've tried a few things like get_text('//li/a'), which returns the name of the first. get_text('//li/a[1]) does the same, but any other index returns nothing.
Any ideas? Also, I need the name that's displayed on the link, not the actual href.
Edit* Also, i'm pretty new to selenium and Xpath. Please let me know if there's info I let out that is needed, or just any suggestions towards thew way I'm going about this.
I have been able to get this to work using CSS element locators. Since I use CSS selectors far more often than Xpath, I find it easier to always use them with Selenium as well.
$selenium->get_text("css=li a:nth-child(1)")
$selenium->get_text("css=li a:nth-child(2)")
$selenium->get_text("css=li a:nth-child(...)")
$selenium->get_text("css=li a:nth-child(n)")
Use:
(//li/a)[$someNumber]
this will get you the text of $someNumber-th //li/a in the XML document.
In order to know what values to use to substitute the $someNumber with, you need to know the total count of these elements:
count(//li/a)
This is in JAVA. You can use the same concept in perl
int totCountInPage=selenium.getXpathCount(//li/a);
for(int count=1;count<=totCountInPage;count++)
System.out.println(selenium.getText("xpath=//li[count]/a"));
This should print text inside the anchor links under all li tag.
Here's something I don't know if it's possible, but here's my question:
My jQuery application has dynamically added entry fields. For example, a button "Add New Customer" adds a new entry form after the current one. So far, so good!
However, I find myself needing to add the mask functions I want to every newly created field, like this:
$("#customer_zipcode\\["+customerCount+"\\]).zipcodeMask(....);
zipcodeMask(...) is just an example function that checks to make sure the user's entered a correct zip code. Other similar masks for phone numbers, credit cards, etc. This part works great, but I have to set it for every newly created element I want to have a zip code mask.
I thought it would be awesome if there was something like .live() that could do the .zipcodeMask() call for every future instance of the zip code field.
I thought I'd make a class, such as "UseZipCodeMask", and do something like class="UseZipCodeMask" in every input field that needs a zip code mask.
When I do this:
$(".UseZipCodeMask").zipcodeMask(....);
This works fine - for every existing element that has this class. If I create a new field with this class, it's doesn't have the .zipcodeMask(...) function working.
Is there a way to make my zip code fields get .zipcodeMask(...) automatically set for it? It would clean up the code a bit, there's a lot of code that adds .zipcodeMask() and other related functions every time some new input fields are created.
Thanks very much!
What jquery version are you using?
You can use .delegate which means you would not have to "add the plugin" to newly created elements.
