How do I make the hint text available for screenreaders? - orbeon

When I add a hint text to a text field in the form builder demo, I noticed that this hint text is not linked to the input through an aria-describedby attribute when I test the form.
Is this a bug, or does the author or user of the form need to do something to generate this attribute?

orbeon forms - Dynamic Dropdown remove value

I’m using Oberon forms version 2019.2 CE.
In my form I have Dynamic Dropdown (with search) with country select (required field) and Text field with display code of selected country:
When I select country, in text field appears selected country code:
Now I can click ‘x’ sign to remove value form drop down:
Value in field 'code' has not been deleted. When I click Validate button no error is detected. It seems that when I use 'x' sign to remove value from dropdown, I remove only label, not value.
My question is whether it is possible to remove both label and value, when I click 'x' sign?
I am unable to reproduce this with Orbeon Forms CE 2019.2. This is what I am seeing when running this form. If this doesn't help, I'd recommend you update your question to include a link to a minimal form that you are using to reproduce this, with steps to reproduce (and then post a comment, for notification).
It looks like the problem occurs when I use ‘Service performs search’ option set to ‘Yes’. Below you can see how it looks like in my form:

JIRA Custom field not rendering Rich Text

I have created two custom fields on a JIRA story that I need rich text entry. The problem is that one is rendering correctly and the other isn't as can be see by the following images.
Both as can be seen are setup 'Text Field Multi-line' - exhausted all other lines of enquiry
The field has probably not the correct field renderer configured.
Settings --> Issues --> Field Configurations --> Your used field configuration
Now look for your field and click the "Renderers" link to select the "Wiki Style Renderer".
You need to create a Text Field, and convert it to WIKI style text field. This way you will be able to post URL.
Here is 5 minute video which I have created on how to do this.

I hope it helps.

ruby on rails: text filed formatting

I tried to copy and past from Word document to text field using Ruby on Rails.
But all formatting( spaces, bold and other) are disappeared on text filed.
I've just got the simple lines of text without any formatting.
I've read that need to use Simple format tool... but I want that a user be able just to copy and past a text to text field without doing any adjustments.
I mean, I want make all adjustment in advance and the user could just copy and past the text and got all formatting, the same as in Word doc.
The link to file with text field as below.

How to initialize editor if I don't have id = "edit" right now?
How to put some code extra style to this file?
Have a go at wrapping your field in your show.html.erb or wherever you want to display it with simple_format, for example:
<%= simple_format(#object.description) %>
See http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/TextHelper/simple_format for more info.
I've solved this problem by implementing SKEditor.
There is a lot of tutorial how to implement this editor.
I (as a lot of other users) have problem that my text wasn't formatted because this editor is not compatible with turbo links.
So, I disable turbo links in some files, and as result I have the text formatted.

Trigger validation based on drop down value

I'm working in Struts 2. I want to make two text fields "required" based on the value selected in a drop down. I got so far as making them "required" using js so that the form does not submit anymore when the two fields are empty. Now i want a field error above the text box saying the fields are mandatory. What is the best way to achieve this?

How to blank out a field in an MVC app using TinyMCE

I've got an MVC app that gives the user textarea's to update some description fields. It's strongly-typed to a table object, and the fields are wrapped in a form with a Submit button.
Occaisionally they don't want any data in a field, but when they delete the text and try to save, the blanked-out field comes back with its original text (i.e. the table object passed to the Save action contains other edits, but attempts to blank out fields result in the original text staying in the field).
I'm assuming this is LINQ trying to determine which fields have been edited, but how do you tell it that it's blank on purpose?
UPDATE: It appears this may be a problem with the TinyMCE jQuery plugin. It adds rich-text functionality to textarea controls. If I turn it off, I can remove text with no problems.
UPDATE 2: It seems to be some kind of javascript bug or something. If I put another dummy field after the problem fields, they work. If I move them to another place in my code, they work. They just don't want to work where they are. Very peculiar.
I'm pretty sure that TinyMCE, by default, puts in <p></p> when the control is emptied.
So if you are checking for "" then you may be disapointed.
This initially caused me some issues but never with saving. I was checking if the field was "" and then doing something else. Once I realised that "" was never going to happen, I adapted my validation accordingly.
I just check that on a recent project using TinyMCE editor, but it indeed send "" for an empty input, and during the implementation we had no issues with that.

The body property is the one with a tinyMCE editor on the client side.
I really think it will be something with the modelBinder or the way you set the values back to the model.
