[...] I was wrong. The validation script is stored as document level script, because it’s within JSpreamble. And it sets the value to "", regardless of the content. See http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/modules/mkiv/m-fields.mkiv?searc...

Better don’t use this module, it’s just an example.

If you need exactly this functionality, copy the code.

I need it, because it is the simplest way to create a fill-in field. I have two questions: Does it make any sense to have a module that doesn’t retain the content of the fill-in fields? How should I define the new \fillinfield command? Would it work removing validation from the command? I’m sorry, I’m not running Windows and I have no way of testing it. Besides the fact that JavaScript is beyond my knowledge. \usemodule[fields] \definefieldcategory [fillinfield] [n=1024, height=\strutht, depth=\strutdp, align=middle, color=red, fieldframecolor=blue, fieldbackgroundcolor=white, validate=] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext This is a \fillinfield[name]{text that defines field length}. \stoptext It works fine with evince (it retains the contents of the fill-in field). But I need to know whether this works in Windows. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

There you have the validation script, but I’m afraid this is Greek to me.

But guessing from your homepage you understand Greek ;) Am 2017-03-14 um 18:57 schrieb Pablo Rodriguez :

No ;)

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\usemodule[fields] \definefieldcategory [fillinfield] [n=1024, height=\strutht, depth=\strutdp, align=middle, color=red, fieldframecolor=blue, fieldbackgroundcolor=white, validate=] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext This is a \fillinfield[name]{text that defines field length}. \stoptext

Yes, that works. You can leave out most of the parameters.

It works fine with evince (it retains the contents of the fill-in field). But I need to know whether this works in Windows.

It works with evince because that probably doesn’t run JavaScript functions from PDFs. Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Na ja, auf Spanisch sagte ich auch »das kommt mir Spanisch vor«.

Da meinte ich »auf Deutsch sagte ich...«. (Natürlich war das ein Felher.)

I have another issue with the width, but I have to find the conde first.

No “conde”, but code. Just a typo. Here is my code: \starttext \setupinteraction [state=start] \usemodule[fields] \setupfieldcategory[fillinfield] [fieldbackgroundcolor=yellow,validate=] En \fillinfield[lugar]{vamos a dar un gran lugar}, a \fillinfield[dia]{99} de \fillinfield[mes] {febreromarzo} de \fillinfield[anyo]{9999}. \blank[big] En \fillinfield[lugarfirma]{vamos a dar un gran lugar}, a \fillinfield[diafirma]{99} de \fillinfield[mesfirma] {febreromarzo} de \fillinfield[anyofirma]{9999}. \stoptext My question is the command syntax: \fillinfield[tag]{text} I have just accidentally discovered that the width of the fill-in field is set from {text}. But if [tag] is wider, the field will be wider and wrong positioned. I have tried to understand this in m-fields.mkiv, but I don’t get anything there. Is this a bug or what am I missing?
