How to read and temporarily store text from a text box on a web page - tosca

I am very new to TOSCA and I don't have a lot of help around me for it, online searches do not seem to answer my question either.
I have scanned a basket page for a website and wish to create a loop to increase the quantity of a single product, but I can't seem to be able to read the quantity already in there, only change it. Is there a way to do this?
I am fine with conditions and loops its just this part of extracting the value from the text box.
Thank you for any help you can give.

You should be able to get the value from a text box by using the action mode buffer.
Here is the according section of the manual.

Perforce P4Report plugin Truncates text

I gave this plugin (P4Report) a go as recommended here and it works beautifully, I set up ODBC Data Sources properly and its bringing all the right fields across.
My main problem seems to be it not properly importing a "Description" string field and shortening it to less than 50 characters making the whole table pointless as the change descriptions are not being shown fully.
Tried importing into both Access and Excel 2013, both have the same issue.
Doubled checked and got my colleague to look with me that I had setup everything correctly and still wont fully show the description column.
Would be really nice having this working to help create patch notes.
Thanks in advance!
When you set up your query, under "changes" add "p4options". For p4options, add equals "longdesc" to add the long description.
The query will take longer to load, but it will pull over a longer description.

Inserting text below image on download

I have a collection of images that a client can download should they desire. However, the boss came to me with a requirement to try and add text at the bottom of image. Unfortunately due to space constraints on the server, I can't simply use Javascript to add the information to the bottom of the page when it is uploaded.
Ideally the format should two rows with two cells each. Any help on this would be appreciated.
I believe this is what you are looking for.

How to create Numeric KB interface with previous, next and done button

I was on website on my iPhone and I encounter websites' guestbook. with those textFields. my keyboard appearance was totally change as you can see in screen below.
I am having many text fields in my app, I am wondering if I can create anything like that.
As I am new to development, still unknown what are the limits.
Can anyone guide me to right direction or to right documentation.
Is there is some regular way or its just total customization over Keybard.
I have one more doubt, does it matter what kind of keyboard is popping up as my all fields have numeric keyboard.
Well I just wanted to be helpful to someone who is following the same learning curve as me.
To achieve the affect in screenshot in question. UIToolbar control can be used to make those buttons. after the you need to just make this toolbar appear and disappear with the keyboard.
To make previous and next button work, you can use the tag property of textfield. on clicking on previous or next you can focus to previous or next text field.
Sorry about not posting code as I have not coded it yet but wanted to give pointer to anyone, who is looking.

DataDynamics Active Reports entering extra spaces in long email addresses

I'm using Data Dynamics Active Reports to generate some reports on our website.
Action: User runs a report on user accounts (this contains an email field) and Exports to an excel file.
Issue: If the email is relatively long, extra white space is added in the field.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do to fix it?
Here, I found a solution to hide blank sub report space:
Add group header and footer
Check the condition
Make Group header or footer visible false/true
After some research with DataDynamics and GrapCity I found that this is a known bug they are working on Case 00023478.
To work around it I made the TextBox larger that the email fields were bound to. It's a sucky work around but it's all we have until they fix this issue.
The issue has to do with wrapped text in a texbox that forces line breaks in the excel export.
EDIT:
The better, but still sucky, workaround is to make all of your textboxes alignment "Justify". This removes all the spaces from the text on export to excel no matter what size the box, but everything is now justified...

Issues with Exported Crystal Report to Word Document

I am having a minor issue playing with my exported Crystal Report, I can generate the reports just fine on our website, however when I attempt to export them to Word documents I don't quite get a document I can do much with.
i.e.:
I can't position the generated text anywhere in the document, it is almost 'frozen' in place. I would expect if I moved the cursor above the report text and pressed Enter a bunch of times I could remove the report down the page, however it just won't budge
All the text seems to be in its own box and I can't move it around or do anything with it.
Any thoughts? My expectation would be once it is exported to Word I could play with it like a Word document, move the text down the page, edit the document, do something with it.
Thanks!
btw, this question is similar to the one posted here, but this one wasn't tagged properly and I don't have enough karma to fix it:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/434381/word-formatting-not-intact-when-exported-from-crystal-reoport
I'm afraid that you can't do much about it. Crystal Reports is very much orientated towards putting data in fixed positions on pages, so when it exports to Word it puts its data into text boxes because that's a similar thing that Word offers. You could make the Crystal Report page consists of a giant text field and using spaces and newlines to get the data into the right place, which will probably then give you a giant textbox in Word.
