Display the Item Length in an xml-file (resolveNodes)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The Problem is that, I created a Purchase Order form. In this form there is a dynamic tble, which will be filled with data from items in an xml-file,

so the xml-file includes 4 Items with the same name <Item>. and every Item has several Nodes and one of them is ShipToLocation, which

again includes FormattedAdress with four Lines Description.

So to access the data,hold in the nodes (Lines Description) i used the resolveNodes method.

var firstLineData = $.record.resolveNodes("PurchaseOrder.Item[*].ShipToLocation.FormattedAddress.FirstLineDescription");

var i4_fi_Line = firstLineData.item(4).value;

var iLength = Item.length; //  how many Item are there

xfa.host.messageBox("The Number of items in the Table = " + iLength); // Display the number of the Item

---->Problem: In the xml-file there is only 4 Items but it will be displaed 5 Items one of them has the Value "Null'

The Table in my form has then 5rows and the last one is filled with value "null"

To display the Value hold in Item[4], I used :

xfa.host.messageBox(" The data value hold in item 4: " + i4_fi_Line);

------> displayed is The data value hold in item 4: Null

My Question is: whre does the 5th Item come from and how to correct that

This is my first self created form and will be happy for every answer.

thanks

Hello Panda,

I use Adobe LiveCycle Designer v.7.1 and PDF-reader 8.0. Anyway I found the reson of that issue.

Somewhere in the Table i placed a hidden subform named (subHidden4Line) witch includes 4 fieldes,

that are bonded to the ShipToLocation->ForamttedAdress-->FirstLineDescription to FourthLineDescription.

One of those fisled was bounded to the Item itself, witch efected the creation of a new Item with a null data entry.

I soulved the problem already, but if u r interrested u can try the form.

Untill new issues, thank u for your cooperativeness.

thanks
