P. Story +Dated: 2018-11-01 + +This package provides JavaScript code snippets to create 'gray hints'. Gray +hints, as I term them, are text that appears initially in a text field that +gives a short hint as to what the contents of the text field should be; for +example, a text field might contain the hint 'First Name', or a date field +might read 'yyyy/mm/dd'. As soon as the field comes into focus, the hint +disappears. It reappears when the field is blurred and the user did not enter +any text into the field. + +What's New (2018/11/01) Revised package to work correctly with PDF-XChange Editor (not +PDF-XChange View). Improved code for handling the case where the user commits date by +pressing the Enter key (the data is committed, but the field does not blur). Some commands +for customizing the user experience in the case of pressing the Enter key to commit. + +Dependent packages: + (1) eforms (2017/02/27) to use the field fields of eforms. + (2) insdljs (2017/03/02) a minimal requirement when using form fields defined + by hyperref when calculation fields are used. + (3) Hyperref form fields may be used without eforms or insdljs, but the gray + hints for calculation fields will not appear. + +Package works for dvips/Distiller, pdflatex, lualatex, and xelatex. + +PDF Viewers: Adobe Reader DC, PDF-XChange Editor, and, of course Adobe Acrobat. + +Enjoy! + +Now, I must get back to my retirement. + +dps +dpstory at uakron dot edu |
