Bug in forms- Won't submit because required field is empty but it is not...

Hello,
I have the same bug in both our corporate and French website.
When someone fill in the form, it says that one of the required field is empty, even when it is not:
I put the form in a test page at www2.smasolutions.it/test.html
Please, help me as quickly as you can as the websites are live. We put the simple form for now as it is the only one that is working but we need to grab more info !
Thanks
Esther

Esther,
The field with the label 'Société*' is actually the email field, so it requires a valid email address.
I suspect you changed the label name in Muse from 'Email' to 'Société*'. Change the name of the label back to 'Email' so it's clear to the user what they need to enter in the field...

Prevent submit if required field is empty

HI.
I have input text fields that has "Required" property set to true and indeed I can see "*" sign near the field.
I also have a button on he page .
How do I prevent the page from being submitted if required field is empty?

Hi,
1. point the disabled property of the command button to a managed bean (view scope) that has its default set to "true"
2. set autoSubmit="true" to the input text component
3. set a value change listener to point to a method in the same managed bean
4. If the new value of the textfield is not null or empty, set the managed bean property that the disabled property points to to "false"
5. Configure the command button Partial Trigger property to point to the ID of the input text field

I believe my it guys have php on their server. When I look on the internet
to try and use the form to test it, I get the error:
The website cannot display the page
HTTP 500
Most likely causes:
The website is under maintenance.
The website has a programming error.
What you can try:
Refresh the page.
Go back to the previous page.
Here's one php code I have linked to one of my documents:

* Last Modified: RR 14:07 Wed 15 August 2007
* QVCS Version: $Revision: 1.4 $
* Read This First
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* This script is very well documented and quite large! It looks daunting,
* but really isn't.
* If you have experience with PHP or other scripting languages,
* here's what you *need* to read:
*      - Configuration (TARGET_EMAIL & DEF_ALERT)
*      - Creating Forms
* That's it! (Alternatively, just read the Quick Start and/or
* Quicker Start section below).
* Full configuration documentation is here:
*      http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/index.php
* Purpose:
* ~~~~~~~~
* To accept information from an HTML form via HTTP and mail it to recipients.
* What does this PHP script do?
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* On your web site, you may have one or more HTML forms that accept
* information from people visiting your website. Your aim is for your
* website to email that information to you and/or add it to a database.
* FormMail performs those functions.
* Quick Start
* ~~~~~~~~~~~
* 1. Edit this file and set TARGET_EMAIL for your requirements (near
*      line 235 in this file - replace "yourhost\.com" with your mail server's
*      name). We also strongly recommend you set DEF_ALERT (the next
*      configuration below TARGET_EMAIL).
* 2. Install this file as formmail.php (or other name ending in .php)
*     on your web server.
* 3. Create an HTML form and:
*      - specify a hidden field called "recipients" with the email address
*        of the person to receive the form's results.
*      - in the your form tag set the action attribute to
*        the formmail.php you uploaded to your web server
* Once you have FormMail working, you may be interested in some advanced
* usage and features. We have HOW-TO guides at www.tectite.com which
* describe many of the advanced processing you can do with FormMail.
*      http://www.tectite.com/fmhowto/guides.php
* Quicker Start
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Use the FormMail Configuration Wizard here:
*      http://www.tectite.com/wizards/fmconf.php
* By answering a few questions you'll get a configured FormMail and
* a sample HTML form ready to upload and use on your server.
* Features
* ~~~~~~~~
* For a list of features go to: http://www.tectite.com/formmailpage.php
* Security
* ~~~~~~~~
* Security is the primary concern in accepting data from your website
* visitors.
* Tectite FormMail has several security features designed into it. Note,
* however, it requires configuration for your particular web site.
* Configuration
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* To configure this script, go to the section titled "CONFIGURATION"
* (after reading the legal stuff below).
* There is only one mandatory setting: TARGET_EMAIL
* and one strongly recommended setting: DEF_ALERT
* Full configuration information is available here:
*      http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/index.php
* Creating Forms
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Go to this URL to learn how to write HTML forms for use with
* Tectite FormMail: http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/creating_forms.php
* Copying and Use
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* and used provided that you:
*      1. keep this header, including copyright and comments,
*         in place and unmodified; and,

Submit clearing required field

I have two buttons on my pdf file. One that submits the form by proxy and another that prints the form (print form checks that the raw value of the fields is not null). I extended the form for reader.
In reader, when I either save the form or submit the form by email and reopen try to click print form it says that the required fields are not filled?
Also, empty fields are replaced by default values?
How can I fix this is there a recalculate or reset I need to do on document open?

I have another question about the bindings. At the bottom of the form, I
have an order table that I am adding instances to.
I would like that to be bound to the xml schema as well. However, if I bind
that data it does not save new instances in the xml. Initially, I load the
pdf with a xml file to fill the ordering options. If I put multiple rows
in the xml it will adjust those if I change the data, but won't insert new
rows into the dataset. So, when I close and reopen the pdf the rows
disappear.

Good day, tell me what to do iphone 4s bought preowned raised to 7.2 firmware but it requires aktivatsyi apple id but I do not know it because they do not buy a new one. and contact the seller lost in what to do now tell me?

Good day, tell me what to do iphone 4s bought preowned raised to 7.2 firmware but it requires aktivatsyi apple id but I do not know it because they do not buy a new one. and contact the seller lost in what to do now tell me?

There is no way around the activation lock. You apparently decided to use the phone with someone else's ID set up for an iCloud (and find my iPhone) account before updating. Since Find My iPhone was active, updating to iOS 7 has automatically turned on the activation lock. If you do not have the Apple ID and password that were previously used, then the phone is now useless. You can't activate it without that informaion.
Talk to whoever you bought the phone from if you can. If you can't, buy a new phone.

I have downloaded v10.7.2, but it won't install because it cannot be verified. It will not download again.

Something like this:

At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted)

"At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted)"
I'm tearing my hair out with this one. Have checked all the fields to confirm if I had set the Type as User Entered - Required. Can't find any such field. Any help would be appreciated. Is there an email id where I can send the form?

Hi,
In your script when you make an object visible, you also make it mandatory. No problem there!
However the script that hides the object goes through this sequence:
hide the object, THEN
make it optional/not mandatory.
This is where the problem lies.
You FIRST need to make the object optional/not mandatory AND THEN hide the object. It should just be a simple case of work through the various scripts and having the mandatory line before the presence line.
There is an example here: http://assure.ly/hxHupW.
Hope that helps,
Niall

I bought a mac air yesterday and i was trying to download maverick but i could not do it, i try to download the old version of numbers because i needed for work, but i could not neither, but now when i check to download numbers is asking for to pay?

i bought a mac air yesterday and i was trying to download maverick but i could not do it, i try to download the old version of numbers because i needed for work, but i could not neither, but now when i check to download numbers is asking for to pay?

You are mixing different issues. I will address Numbers.
Has Numbers ever been installed on this new Mac? Did you have the Mac App Store version of Numbers or did you have the DVD version of Numbers?
You should be able to redownload a previous purchase of the Mac App Store version of Numbers from the Purchases pane after signing into your account.
If you had the DVD version, then you will need to install that from the DVD media.

I haven't used Matt Wright's scripts in this century, but I'm pretty sure that Perl still needs to go into your CGI bin and the permissions level (chmod) must be set to 755 or possibly 777 for the script to read, write & execute.

Acrobat 7 Pro - form won't submit via email, and data won't submit either

Hi. I am trying to create a form for end users at my website to be able to open the form in Reader, enter their data in the form, and click on the "Submit" button to email it back to me (or any other way it can come back would be okay... as long as I can get the data).
In doing some research on program software needed to do this, I came to the conclusion I needed to have the Adobe suite (Acrobat Pro 7, Distiller 7, and Designer 7), and so I spent a lot of money obtaining this software. I also have just downloaded Reader 9.0 (the most recent).
Here are some particulars:
1. Following directions Ive found on Adobe online, and the Help files as well as in this forum, in the form (in Designer), I have the Submit button going to a URL of mailto:[email protected].
2. I've saved the form as a Static PDF Form File in Designer. Things are going well.
3. The form works great in PDF Preview all form fields are setup and act correctly. Super!
4. I FTP my file to the appropriate website, where once the link to the form is clicked the form opens (in Reader) for my users. Perfect!
5. The user then opens the form, and before they start to fill it out, a popup shows this:
Sending Data Fields By Email. Please note: This form contains an email submit button. Clicking this button will email a data file containing data you type into this form. However, the form itself will not be sent. Remember, you cannot save a completed copy of this form with Adobe Reader 9
Then you have the option to Dont show again and a button to Close.
6. After clicking Close, the user is then able to fill in the fields. These fields are standard fields, nothing exceptional, nothing fancy, just text.
7. At the end of the form is the Submit button. When a user clicks this, NOTHING happens. Even when you try to do the File/Send thing, the form will send, but none of the data. Im not so happy right now L
8. In this forum, I now see directions to Reader Enable in Adobe Pro (I do have Adobe Pro). The directions say Advanced/Enable Reader (as in one of the above posts is stated, 'Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader'). However, I do not have an Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader under my Advanced tab. So, continuing to read in other similar posts, I find others dont have this option either so, one question is, where is it??? ;-)
9. Now I see what appears to be another piece of Adobe software that I need, that is LiveCycle? I think Im getting in over my head, as I dont understand
I am new to all this, and am doing my best, but now Im totally confused. All I want to do is have my measly little form open up and have people fill it in and email it back to me so that I can take that data and work with it.
I run (or am trying to run) a non-profit (i.e., Im paying 100% of the bill) website for local Humane Societies who can facilitate offering online Adoption Applications (this is the form Im trying to make happen). I got the form made, and its fillable its just not being able to be submitted online; and when it DID get submitted (first try or so), it came through with no data, and the .xml file data wouldnt populate.
Bottom line question: Is this, what Im trying to do, feasible or not? Im just a simple soul trying to help out some animals. Im not a programmer, so if thats what it takes I guess Im gonna have to give up and forget it. I only wanted to help make things easer for folks to adopt a pet.
Any help by anyone would be totally and gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, and thank you for the reply.
I've already spent several hundred dollars on getting Adobe Acrobat software, and was hoping there was some work-around on this? What did people do before LiveCycle for instance when they needed to get data from submitted forms via email?
Please don't misunderstand, but as in my example described above, what can a 3rd party do for me (to enable more 'robust rights') that I can't do myself? I'm trying to figure out if I have the software to do it, paid for the software that is "supposed" to do it, why then I need to pay more money to someone else to make the software do what it's supposed to? I sure don't want to have to pay someone to fix it each time I need to make a change in my form for instance...
I'm confused I guess - I suppose the purpose of my asking on the forum here was to hopefully gain some know-how as how to go about doing this myself vs. paying someone else to do it for me. I want to learn, but just don't know where to start. Or, maybe the software I have just doesn't do what I believed it was capable of doing?
Guidance and/or suggestions from all on this point would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Dynamic Submit Button- Required Fields

I needed a dynamic submit button that would cc a field from the form. I found the following script and it works great, but it doesn't give an error message if someone didn't fill in a required field like a regular submit button would. Is it possible to use the script below but to check for required fields?
// This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
// so that the form is always returned to the same address
// Change address on your form
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
// First, get the client CC e-mail address
var cCCAddr = RegionalDirector;
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "909 Camp Visitation Report-" + xfa.resolveNode("#subform[0].#subform[7].Country"); var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your 909 report.\n" + "Save a copy for your records";
// Send the form data as an FDF attachment on an e-mail
event.target.mailDoc({
          bUI: true,
          cTo: cToAddr,
          cCc: cCCAddr,
          cSubject: cSubLine,
          cMsg: cBody

Hi,
stefan's example uses a method that seems a bit clumsy or maybe that was the only way it could be done in 2006. Assuming your email button is called EmailSubmitButton yo can use;
EmailSubmitButton.event__click.submit.target = emailtarget;
where emailtarget is a string in this format
mailto:emailaddress?cc=emailaddress?bcc=emailaddress?subjext=text?body=text
The bold parts you can't change but you can leave out, except for the mailto and the to email address that follows it.
Regards
Bruce

Cancel submit of required fields blank

Hi
I have a submit button which submits to email then clears the form. I use "Submit a form" and "Reset a form". Id like to check for required fields and prompt the user to complete any which are required. Does anyone know how to stop the reset if this is the case, then only reset once the form has been sent (using email)?
Thanks

You have to write a custom script and place as needed for the processing you are trying to do. You will need to use an "if ... them" statement to control processing.
// define a control variable for processing;
var bProcess = true; // assume all fields completed;
// assuming a name field;
if(this.getField("name").value == this.getField("name").defaultValue) {
// name field not changed from default value;
bProcess = false; // set bProcess to false;
// check box example;
if(this.getField("checkbox 1").value =="Off") {
// no check box selected;
bProcess = false; // set bProcess to false;
// additional checking statements;
// decision for submission;
if(bProcess = true) {
// processing statement;
} else {
// alert about missing required fields;
app.alert("Not all required fields completed.\Please complete the required fields and submit.", 1, 0);

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but it will not allow me to save it a second time as an excel file. It says that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file. I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application. What is the problem, and how do I solve the problem. Thank you. Jeff

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Forms - Can't set a required field to visible=false

Hi,
I want to set a required field to visible=false but OIM 9.1 gives an error saying it is not possible.
Has anyone overcome this issue?
Thanks in advance

I guess, it should work; instead of html:submit, try with button.

IPhone won't sync. Required field cannot be found.

Help! How on Earth do I identify what the "required field" is, and fix it?

Tried it, didn't help. Some more info that maybe will help spark an idea. It appears that after the restore, it successfully synced music, movies, video podcasts, and even the originals of my iPhoto files. The only thing it appears not to have synced were viewable photos from iPhoto along with the albums.
Any other ideas to try.
