Submit a form conatining a Collection
How do I submit a form conatining a collection?
I can set the collection in the actionForm before the page is rendered and use the NetUI repeater to itterate thru the collection. The problem is that if I edit any of the fields, the collection is passed back as null while any other elecments of the form are passed back.
Any Ideas?
Are you able to solve this,I have the same problem I know this can be solved using indexed properties I dont how to approach.

I created a form and I'm not sure how to make the 'submit' button send me the collected information.
Hello everybody. I am a web designer (NOT a developer)
I created a form and I'm not sure how to make the 'submit' button send me the collected information.
I have used phpform.org/ to custom build a submission form. Then I opened that html in dreamweaver (so that I could edit colors, fonts, and delete the phpform.org advetisement)
Now I need to link the 'submit button' so that it will e-mail me the completed form.
(formphp.org wants me to subscribe to a servie that I pay for in order to have the form e-mailed to myself.)
(after I get the submit button linked to an e-mail I will pull the html of my completed form into Muse- but I don't think that is really relevent)
I'm sure one of you can help point me in the right direction! I can't write my own code so detailed help is appreciated!
-Brenna
The e-mail I would like the form sent to is:
[email protected]
Here is the the code for my form 'as is' :

</html>I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

How to submit two forms once in one jsp page?
hello all,
My jsp page includes two forms: one form's action is a File Upload servlet, which process file uploading; another is a general servlet to collect user inputs, such as user name, age, etc.
Because the file upload servlet is a legacy component, and it was used in many applications. we could not meger it into our business components.
the system requires the file upload and information collection are submitted once. so we have to submit two forms in one 'Submit' action, at the same time, the information collection servlet need get the information from file upload servlet, such as the uploaded file's url.
I have tried two methods, but all failed
1. Upload form has no a 'Submit' button, when user click the 'submit' button of the information collection form, we use a javascript to submit upload form first, then submit information collection form. Failed at: the second submit dose wait for upload finishing, then the second submit interrupt the upload
2. the javascript only submit upload form, and set HTML body's onUnload event to another javascript that submit information collection form. this time, the file upload sucess, and information collection form sucess at most time. But fail when user click the 'refresh' or 'back' or any navigator buttons of the browser. these action will trigger the page 'unload' event too, but the submit if invalid!
Please tell me how to.chain the both requests!
- build one mutlitpart request and send it to a servlet that can handle that multipart request (think of using oreilly MultiPartParser).
- check the input (all requiered fields and files there)
- if yes store the user fields and create a socket connection from your servlet to the legacy file upload servlet and post the file this way.
- like this you have full control over the users input and can make sure the file and the fields are just save if all requiered elements are availble. -
Submit pdf form data to sql database
Where I can find detailed information on the process of sending data from pdf form stored on the website to the sql database stored on web server ?? Where I can find some samples I could use to build my form and related script(s).
Thanks for advice.
TonyHi Paul,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I can not retrieve your
attachments, so please send them by email. Thank you.
What does it mean that DSN has to be set up on each machine which will run
the form ??? Does it mean for each person who will use the form ?? or
rather once on the server where the form is hosted ??? It will be a bit
difficult to use if it will have to be installed on each user computers as
some users may not be happy to do it. If this is the case do you have any
solution you would recommend which will collect the data from the form
without asking users to do anything special on their computers ????

submit pdf form data to sql database
If you want the form to contact the DB directly you will have to set up a
DSN on each of the machines that will run the form. Note that this wil
only work on Windows machines. Also the form must be launched for the
script to run (you mentioned the PDF was stored on the web server). I have
some samples that show how to deal with a DB but the attachments do not
seem to be working correctly on the forum yet. If you cannot retrieve them
post your email and I will email them to you directly.

Hi,
In my custom controller, I want to call the submit request form,
and pass a specific request id in order to open a XML Publisher report I created.
I am using the following code:
com.sun.java.util.collections.HashMap parameters = new HashMap();
String url = "OA.jsp";
parameters.put("akRegionApplicationId", "0");
parameters.put("akRegionCode", "FNDCPPROGRAMPAGE");
String id = "" + V_Request_ID + "";
parameters.put("requestMode", "DEFERRED");
parameters.put("requestId", id);
pageContext.setForwardURL(url,

How Do I Submit a Form to a Server?
Overview
- I am working on forms for two seperate websites.
- I have the server information for website1, but I don't
have the information for website2's server at the moment.
- I set up a form on dreamweaver 8.0 and I am trying to get
the user to submit it to my server.
Questions:
1. Do I make the form a PHP file since I want the user to
submit it to a server? If so, I have PHP/ MySQL set up on my
webserver for website1. I hear that email is a very unreliable/
unsafe way to submit forms.
2. What is the code for this or is there a tutorial one of
you might know?
3. Website1 is an FTP and I believe that website2 is a local
server. Would there be a difference in the code besides the
rootfolder?
4. When someone submits a form to the server, is there a new
file that is created in the rootfolder or is it manifested in the
database somehow? I am very unfamiliar with databases.
I have searched over and over again in google and these
forums. All I can find is how to email a form. Even when I tried
that, all I get attached in the email is an .att file that I can't
open unless I download some rogue program that I really don't
trust. I feel submitting to a database is the way to go. Please
help me.
-- Carrion MiseryWhat you need to find out is what server side scripting can
be used on the
hosting. ASP or PHP or ?
What does the hosting's FAQ/support pages say about form to
email scripts?
Is there a hosting control panel or CPanel? If yes- look in
there.
If you can use PHP scripting, here's a quick list of
instructions for a
particular script:
If you don't want to create the php script yourself- here's a
very short set
of instructions to get a free script working in a few
minutes. Refer to the
docs folder in the expanded zip file for more info.
1)go to
http://boaddrink.com
-->phpformmail
download it.
extract the ZIP file.
2) open formmail.php in dreamweaver
Make the following changes (in code view, turn line numbers
on)
2a)
line 4,
define('CHECK_REFERER', true);
change to:
define('CHECK_REFERER', false);
reason: too many people use a firewall or Norton security to
restrict this.
2b)
Line 43
$referers = array('www.example.com', 'example.com');
change to the url address of your web site.
reason: this probably isn't needed since we just turned the
referrer
checking off. but change it anyway.
2c) *this is to hard-code the recipient address into
the php
file, where it is totally invisible *
Line 46
$recipient_array = array();
change to:
$recipient_array = array('me' =>
'[email protected]);
**of course, replace [email protected] with
the email address
you want to receive the form data
reason: this sets the email address the form results will be
sent to.
2d) give the script a default "From" address to use.
Go to line 41
Change:
define('FROM', null);
to:
define('FROM', 'Example Name <[email protected]>');
substituting your name and email address.
3) now do a File-->Save As and save this file to within
this Local Site
folder. save it as anythingyouwant.php
4) in dw's File Panel, find anythingyouwant.php and upload it
to the remote
site.
5) Now open your form html file in dreamweaver,
5a)click the mouse into the form area, and select the
<form> tag on the
lower left margin of the design window.
In the Property Inspector, it should now show the properties
of the <form>
tag. In the Property Inspector, to the right of the ACTION
line, click the
folder icon and browse to and select the anythingyouwant.php
file
you've saved to within this site.
5b) now go to dw menu-->Insert-->Form
Objects-->Hidden Field
This inserts a hidden form field.
In the property inspector, change the NAME/ID of this field
to: recipient
And the VALUE of this field to: me
the code should look like:
<input name="recipient" type="hidden" id="recipient"
value="me">
This tells the script to use the "me" recipient_alias value
as the email
address to send the form to.
5c: Do you have a form field to collect the user's email
address?
If yes, if this field is named exactly "email" then the
script will use the
user's email as the reply to in the outgoing email
6) Save and upload the form page.
Try the form from the website.
Optional:
1-make a new page for a thank you for submitting message.
In the form, insert another hidden field.
Name: redirect
Value: the full absolute
http:// address to the new thank you page.
If you don't set a redirect value- the form script will build
a "thank you,
here is what you submitted" page. If you want to use that
dynamic page-
upload the .css file that it uses.
2- If you have a field in the form to collect the visitor's
email address,
IF you name this field in the form exactly
email then the visitor's
email address will be the Reply To address in the outgoing
email.
There are 30 or so other optional form fields to control the
form- see the
readme in the docs folder. One of those optional control
fields is
verification.

How can I submit the form back to the server, then reload the page again
Hi
I have 2 comboboxes, one is already populated with data by the time the page is loaded. The second combobox will be populated depending on the value chosen from the first combobox
I need to know how can submit the form to go back to the server with the selected value from the first combobox, get some data from the database and then regenerate the whole page again filling the second combobox with the collected data
for example, here s my select tag:
<select name="country" id="firstBox" onchange="populateSecondList()">
<option value="" SELECTED>
</select>
<select name="city" id="firstBox">
<option value="">
</select>
what should I have to add in the retrieveSecondOptions() function?declare a second combo box in a iframe and to iframe tag there is attribute to which you can sepcify the file name like one.jsp
now call onchange event on first combo box and forward request to one.jsp -
My safari is blocked. When I press a window comes up sasking Are you sure you want to submit this form again? and it will not allow me to cancel or submit
These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
Advantages: All images should be preserved.
Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost. -
Unable to get the "Submit a form" action working with Webmail: Gmail
I am attempting to create interactive PDF forms for the website which the end user will email back once filled out.
I have added a link to the form that runs the "Submit a form" action, this appears to work if you have a mail client installed, but if you specify Webmail "Gmail", the system appears to start the process with:
First asking you for the email account details to add
You are then asked to allow Adobe Acrobat permissions to your access your email account
It then attempts to create a draft message but fails with: "Error while creating message ..."
NB: I have logged into my Gmail account on the client PC and I am able to send emails.
Any ideas if this has a known problem and if a fix is available, without a fix it makes interactive PDF's a bit pointless?

I have created an InfoPath form that submits to a Sharepoint library with custom workflow attached. The workflow is initiated when the user submits the form. An email is sent to the supervisor who clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and approved
the form via the emailed form. Then, based on certain criteria the form is either emailed to the VP or the workflow is complete. The VP is sent an email and clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and sumbits the form via the emailed form. This is
how I would like it to work. The reality is, the form submits and is emailed to the supervisor and the supervisor is able to approve but when the form is sumbitted I get an error. The error is "InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while
this form was being submitted. The form cannot be submitted to the following location: <URL> The file <URL> is checked out for editing by <me> The operation completed successfully." The operation did not complete successfully and it
is not checked out. I have read in previous posts that the file is locked. Since I am in the testing faze of the project there is no one else using the form. I have waited 24 hours and the lock has not been released. Please help!!! My deadline is growing short.I ran into your post while having a similar issue. I don't have a 'full' fix for you, but I noticed at least in our case if you made sure you opened the Infopath form through the browser instead of the client Infopath program (use the drop-down menu
and open in browser) the error doesn't occur. Hope that helps some.... -

How to submit a form with checkboxes in a page flow?
I'm having some trouble with a form that contains several checkboxes, and
how to submit this form within a page flow...
I have a JSP page containing a form with N checkboxes. The value and
checked/unchecked status of each checkbox is generated from parsing an XML
document. Here is the (simplified) code:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml" prefix="x" %>
<netui:form action="doUpdate">
<x:forEach select="...">
<input type="checkbox" name="id"
<x:if ...>checked</x:if> value="<x:out ... />">
</x:forEach>
<netui:anchor formSubmit="true" action="doUpdate">Submit</netui:anchor>
<netui:anchor action="doCancel">Cancel</netui:anchor>
</netui:form>
When this form is submitted, the checkbox values are lost -- the following
code (in the action) produces an empty array:
String[] prefs = this.getRequest().getParameterValues("id");
I looked at the <netui:checkbox> tag, but it does not appear to give me a
way to set the state and value (unless I've missed something).
Can I submit a form without using a form bean? If I do use a form bean, can
I set the state and value from my JSP?
Any suggestions on how to do this (or insights into what I'm doing wrong)
are welcome...
-- CraigI am new to this, but I think this may solve your problem:
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can create a LinkedHashMap
with the req key/value pairs in the page-calling action in the pageflow and then
pass that via a getRequest().setAttribute("myCheckboxes",myCheckboxHashMap);
You can then access it in code using the optionsDataSource portion of the netui:checkBoxGroup
- ie
<netui:checkBoxGroup dataSource="{actionForm.thisCheckbox}" optionsDataSource="{request.myCheckboxes}">
Hope this helps!

the problem seems to be that the interactive pdf form that used to open within the browser is now opening outside the browser (both IE8 and Firefox) as a temp file so I can fill it out but when I hit "save for later" or "submit" I get the adobe error "error opening url to submit this form". What setting has gotten set incorrectly? I have been using this site for years with no problem up until recently.

Acorbat Reader users cannot submit my form to me
I created a form for use by the nine members of my brokerage team. Some people have Acrobat Standard; but some only have Reader. It seems as if the Reader users are unable to submit the forms. When the Reader users click on the button to e-mail the form back to me, they get an error message saying "This operation is not permitted."
I have looked for solutions online, but cannot find any that fit this situation, given the versions of Acrobat that are being used: Pro XI (used by three of us with Creative Cloud), Standard X, Reader (multiple). The solutions that have been posted involve making changed within the Registry; and those solutions that do not involve the Registry make suggestions for setting changes within Pro that don't even exist in my version of Pro XI. (Go figure.)
It would be really nice to get this issue resolved once and for all. If anyone has any recommendations, I would love to hear them.
Cheers!You don't need to change the registry. It sounds like the form is set up so that the entire PDF is included in the submit, instead of just the form data. For this to work with Reader versions prior to 11, the document needs to be Reader-enabled, since Reader otherwise is not able to save a filled-in form. This won't be needed if Reader 11 is used since it is able to save a non-enabled form (AcroForm, not XFA).

Manually submit a form without using javascript?
i'm trying to automate registration of a site by using java (no gui). However there is no direct submit button or form.submit() present in its registration url. Checked the javascript codes and it opens a window, and checks if the window opener is present .
if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed)
window.opener.document.theForm.submit();
window.close();
}Is there a solution for this problem?I'm trying to access an http url (not mine).
(1) By setting post variables , I can retrieve the html of the url as string. Here's the code.
static String getHtml(String url_nm, HashMap variables)
String html = "";
String data = "";
boolean firstRun = true;
if (variables != null)
Set keys = variables.keySet();
Iterator iterator = keys.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext())
if (firstRun)
firstRun = false;
else
data += "&";
String name = iterator.next().toString();
try
data += URLEncoder.encode(name, "UTF-8") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode(variables.get(name).toString(), "UTF-8");
catch (Exception e1)
try {
URL url = new URL(url_nm);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.write(data);
wr.flush();
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
html += line;
wr.close();
rd.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return html;
[/code
(2) The problem is even if i set the post variables, i cannot submit the form since the form can only be submitted if i was actually browsing it in a web browser. The html displays a window where the actual submit form is set (as you can see in my later post) .
