The following is an example of a text box:
Text boxes are areas into which you can type information. The Left and Right arrow keys can be used to move the insertion point in the text box. The Ctrl Right and Left arrow key combinations can be used to move the insertion point to the next and prior word in the text box. The Home and End keys can be used to move the insertion point to the beginning and end of the text box.
If the field for the text box is a large field the text box may be configured to enable scrolling and an Expanded Edit icon appears adjacent to it.
Additional capabilities are provided for display and editing data in text boxes configured this way.
- If the field contains more text than is visible on the screen, hover the mouse pointer over this type of text box to cause a pop-up to appear displaying the full text. The text in the pop-up may be selected to facilitate copying its text to the clipboard.
- If you click the Expanded Edit icon, an editable pop-up window appears. If the field is not protected as a result of business rules for the page, you may modify the text in this window.
Click OK to close the window saving the changes entered.
Click Undo to refresh the text to what it was before you started making changes.
Click Cancel to close the window without saving any changes you may have entered.
