This example highlights some of the main considerations when placing objects in a form. Page 2 includes some bonus scripts for changing the visual appearance of the objects, as the user interacts with the form.
While we have listed a number of blogs over on the righthand sidebar, we thought we would spend some time providing more information on why we think these are such an important resource to you. First, we will look at key influencing blogs and then we will outline other online resources. Blogs John Brinkman’s blog FormFeed [...]
A previous post shows how events fire and their sequence as a user interacted with your form. If you explore the form you will see how some events fire quite often, in particular the calculate event, validate event and the form:ready event. The intention of the example is to show that some events fire many [...]

I will be speaking at Adobe Max in Los Angeles in October. The session will cover the new features in the next version of LiveCycle Designer and how to harness these to generate dynamic solutions. There will be over twenty LiveCycle sessions and labs, which will explore all areas of the platform. Learn how [...]
The Scripting Object Model (SOM) is one of the backbones of the XFA Specification. The SOM provides a structure for referencing objects and properties in our forms. A SOM expression is simply the reference in a script to another object. If the objects are in the same container, then the SOM expression can be as [...]

Hi
I saw your example of user visual feedback.
How to use this highlight on border when focusing when you are using fragments.
Do you have to set this function on every field individually.
Good question Anders!
You can set up a function in a script object. This centralises the script to change the visual appearance, which is where the bult of the scripting is located. From there any new object inserted onto the form, can call the script from appropriate events.
Also, by having the colours (RGB) set as form/global variables, means that the same function will behave differently in each form depending on what values you give the global variables (see Form Properties> Variables).
There is an example here: http://assure.ly/h8ZLr5.
Hope that helps,
