InfoPath Dev

We have created a form that prints a footer with text and I have used a background image aligned bottom left to fake a footer image. (I exported the files and customized the CSS in the print.xsl to align bottom, because it is not an option in InfoPath Designer) So far, so good. However, I really want to be able to overlay the ...

This is a fascinating technique. Now, If I want to count the number of line breaks in a field, would I use XPath to match 
?

Jimmy! You fixed it! The problem was the checkbox datatype. It wasn't a boolean. I switched it to a boolean and now it's FIXED! Hallelujah.

All right, one difference in the example form and in my form is the XPath location of Op-seq. (I used "Copy XPath" for both) My Form Field Op-seq XPath /my:myFields/my:Steps/my:Step/my:Op-seq Example Field Op-seq Xpath: /my:myFields/my:Step/my:Op-seq Should this affect the XPath rule? I don't know enough about the syntax to ...

OK - it works perfectly in your example form. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU!! Unfortunately, it's still broken in the actual form. I'm afraid I shouldn't post the actual form here, so I will try to puzzle out the difference, like a monkey with a phaser. -d

Going to the trouble? Are you kidding me? You are helping me out BIG TIME here. I'm going to send you a present. Here's the code I have attached to the Op-seq field: substring(count(../preceding-sibling::my:Step[my:HeaderRow != "true"]/my:Op-seq) + 1, 1, 5 * (../my:HeaderRow != "true")) I'll take a look at ...

Thank you so much. I do not have them repeating in the actual form, but in the test form I sent you. I'm linking to a video that shows the behavior of the formula you specified. There are a couple of variances: 1.) It does not renumber correclty after the blank space. (e.g. 1, 2, 3, (BLANK), 4, 5 (BLANK), 6) 2.) It still renumbers blank ...

I'm not sure I can post the actual form, so I have made a copy of the section in question and applied the formula. It works in this form exactly as it works in my form. In other words, it inserts a "1" into every field regardless, and it allows for the blank spaces to be overwritten when you add a row above. I am so grateful for your ...

Thanks! I have changed it to lower-case "true," but I'm still seeing the incorrect behavior. It's not numbering. (every row is "1") and it's still overwriting when I re-order the steps.

Thank you, Jimmy! The value for TRUE is set by an InfoPath checkbox. I set its values to TRUE for checked and FALSE for not checked. Of course, I can set these for any value. Unfortunately, the formula above populates all the fields with "1" and when I add a step above, repopulates all the blanks with 1, whether the HeaderRow is ...
