SUBMIT button and VALUE clause

I have a jsp screen like below.It shows in a tabular form all the employee data.
EMPLOYEE DETAILS
EmpId_______ProcessEmpSalary_____ProcessEmpLeave
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
NEXT______PREV____LAST____FIRST
Under ProcessEmpSalary ,ProcessEmpLeave of each employee I have a submit button and clicking on it the particular employee id has to be processed (for salary or leave).Now I want the employee id to be passed when the submit button of that particular employee is pressed.
So what I am doing is I put the emp id in the value clause and achieve my purpose.But this results in the display of the emp id over each submit button.It looks ugly and so
I dont want to use the VALUE clause of the SUBMIT button.........
So friends please tell me how to achieve it.Someone suggested me to use IMAGE but it doesn't work.Some suggested I use hidden varaible ,but I just don;t understand how is that possible.Some suggested me use javascript to pass the value and throw the form...this make sense but problem is I don't have time to learn javascript now.So please help with some code example how to achieve this result.

Here is my jsp as it is .Employee id was used for example.In my application it is Submission_Id
which is used as the key.
Note:
The method is given below after the end of this JSP code.

When i placed a AccessKey to Submit Button (Eg: AccessKey="S"), and pressed Shift + Alt + S, the focus is going to Submit button and as well as Submit operation is also performed. Is this the expected behaviour in FireFox for AccessKeys

How can i disable a submit button and execute submit_action method on click

Good Day,
On my page I have a submit button that execute the submit_action method of the page backing bean that submit data captured on the page into a database and activate another class that send mail at the same time on a click of the submit button,the mail process takes a while before returning back to the page.I was able to disable the submit button to prevent the user from keep click while the process is running but the issue is on clicking the submit button it only disable the submit button without executing the submit_action method of the page backing bean.How can i disable the submit button and execute submit_method of the backing bean at the same time.
Thanks in advance.

I tried this out on one of my pages to see if it works.
First, I added the following JavaScript to my submit button's onClick event:
this.disabled=true; return true;When I clicked the submit button, it was disabled but the form was not submitted.
I deleted the JavaScript from the onClick event and added the following JavaScript to the form's onSubmit event:
var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); button.disabled=true; return true;When I click the submit button, it was disabled and the form was submitted but the button's action method was not called.
The next thing I tried was to change the onSubmit event code:
var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); setTimeout("button.disabled=true", 500); return true;This seemed to work. The difference was that I added a 1/2 second delay before disabling the button.
See if that works for you. If not then I'm fresh out of ideas.

Difference between Submit Button and Button

Hi,
Please help me understanding the difference bewteen the following cases.
1) Submit Button + ActionType : None
2) Submit Button + Action Type :fire partial action
3) Submit Button + Action Type : Fire Action
4) Button + Action Type : fireAction
5) Button + Action Type : firePartialAction
My Understanding is 1st and 4th Both submits the form.
Also, please let me know, is it a valid scenario where we use the SubmitButton and still gives ActionType. What difference it makes when action type is given with submit button.
I understand that when we use 4th then it submits the form and whereas in case of 5th it doesnt.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
Actually i wanted to understand this in context of the issue we are facing.
We have a text field and a button besides it. We have a TAB OUT even associated with the text field which is captured using firePartialAction event. Also, the button is a SUBMIT BUTTON with a partialFireAction associated with it.
1) When you give % in textfield and tab out a popups come and load the data in a table - WORKS FINE
2) When you dont enter anything in textfiled and clicks on the button, same popups comes and loads data into the table. - WORKS FINE
3) When you give % in Text Field and clicks on the BUTTON, from JDEV, we verified that TAB OUT event gets triggered.Once that event is over, we can see the HOUR GLASS which doesnt go away. --- ISSUE
Resolution Tested : When i just remove ACTIONTYPE from button and do NAVIGATION - 3, issue is resolved.
Also, if i make that button as BUTTON and give FIRE ACTION, issue is resolved.
Now the main concern is the same combination SUBMIT BUTTON and ACTIONTYPE: firePartialAction works fine in 11i and causes issue in R12.
Please let me know your comments.
Thanks in advance

Can you stylise the Submit button and can you manually place it

Hello
I have a large pdf document with the form in the middle of it, are you able to style the submit button and are you able to manually place it on a specific page when using FormCentral?
Kind Regards
Eugene

Hi Eugene,
There is a 500 field limitation, regardless of what subscription level you have. Please see: Maximum Number of Fields Reached
Best,

I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Central in order to use this feature. What gives? The Adobe site gave me the impression that I would have this feature after purchasing the new upgrade. I would not have purchased the upgrade, let alone five of them had I know this. Am I missing something?

Acrobat XI comes with the Fromscentral AIR application and the ability to create PDF forms authored in Formscentral. To have more than the free (1 form with 50 responses) level account you need to sign up for a Formscentral subscription.

Submit button and using form fields

Hello all, I'm a bit new to using LiveCycle. I created a form in acrobat. I have all my fields working properly but I ran into a snag. Seems as though people with reader can't open and fill in my form because of a saving issue. So I figured... let's try LiveCycle. I opened the same form.
This is what I can figure out: I need a submit button that can attach the current pdf to a new email and then grab some of the field values from the form. These field values are used to fill in the subject and the "To" field in outlook. I had a button that could do this in acrobat, but it doesn't seem to work in LiveCycle. Can someone please offer some guidance? Thanks so much.
This is what I had on the acrobat form that worked before LiveCycle if it helps at all (used from an adobe sample):
// This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
   // The form will return to the manager chosen from the dropdown bob
   var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
   // First, get the client CC e-mail address
   var cCCAddr = this.getField("manager").value;
   // Now get the beneficiary e-mail only if it is filled out
   var cBenAddr = this.getField("PlaceHolderEmail").value;
   // Get the name and req number
   var cName = this.getField("EmployeeName").value;
   var cNumber = this.getField("Department").value;
   // Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
   var cSubLine = "Absence Notification - " + cName + " - " + cNumber;
   var cBody = "Thank you for submitting this form.\n" +
               "Save the mail attachment as a record";
   //** Send the form data as an PDF attachment on an e-mail
   // Build the e-mail URL
   var cEmailURL = "mailto:" + cCCAddr + "?cc=" + cBenAddr
                 + "&subject=" + cSubLine
                 + "&body=" + cBody;
   this.submitForm({cURL: cEmailURL, cSubmitAs:"PDF", cCharSet:"utf-8"});

Here is a sample form for your reference..
https://acrobat.com/#d=CK4QgXn38l49bzQlhWtKSA
You need to use the rawValue to get the field value in LiveCycle..
for example
      // First, get the client CC e-mail address
     var cCCAddr = manager.rawValue;
Thanks

Add advanced action to submit button and setting different objectives score for the same course

Hi, i would like to increase a counter in a quiz slide when the user press the submit button, using advanced actions.
It's like if the submit button is somehow inhibited from certain options, and i cannot find how to add an advanced action to it.
what i need, is to allow unlimited attempt until the user selects the right answer. each time the user click on submit, a counter increases by one. When user finally select the right answer, we read the counter value and assign a different score, depending on the attempt (for example: 1st attempt=20 points, 2nd attempt=10 points, 3rd attempt=0 points)
After that, i need to save all score obtained for a certain group of quiz slide separately from the "main score" (i think the main score is stored in cmi.objectives.0.score) to have partials scores for a course. I examined the "advanced interactions" panel and i noticed that for each quiz slide there is a specific interaction ID and each quiz slide is associated typically to the same Objective ID. What i need is to associate different groups of slides to different Objective ID's.
In Storyline i was able to do this by passing to the lms a cmi.objectives.n.score (where "n" is the place in the objectives array) and i did it by executing a javascript on success for each question slide. (each javascript added the score of previous slides in the same group to obtain the total score of the group to be passed to lms with a specific function).
examining captivate scorm functions in the published scormdriver.js i found the following function
function SCORM_SetObjectiveScore(strObjectiveID,intScore,intMaxScore,intMinScore)
so i think it can be done the same way in captivate executing javascript in the right way.
Is there also an easier solution to write different scores to different obectives in the same course?
many thanks for any help!

Have a look at:
Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
Question Question Slides - Part 2 - Captivate blog
Indeed, Submit button is part of the Question slide, not a normal button. You can add a custom shape button, but it will never replace what happens when the Submit button is clicked: validation of the answer, showing captions, adding to score etc. Making the score depending on the attempt is not possible with default functionality, it is possible with custom question slides, but then the reporting to LMS is another issue. You should try to do it by JS, or if you only need SWF-output you could use the Master widget by InfoSemantics.

Email Submit Button and Reader 7.0?

I was just wondering if the email submit button works in reader 7.0? I created the submit button so that it sends out the entire PDF form and the data instead of just the raw data, but someone tested it in reader 7.0 and it gives a "this operation is not permitted" error. I have professional 7.0, and it works great for me. So I was wondering if this was something to do with the version of adobe?
- Natalie

Hi Natalie,
To email the entire PDF in the free Reader, you would need to "reader extend" the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions see:
http://www.adobe.com/products/server/readerextensions/pdfs/readerextensionsserver_ds.pdf
You can however email the XML data instead (as an alternate option)and this will work in the free Reader as well as in Acrobat.

Submit Button and Email Ady issu

hi all .. i have an issue here.. I would like to insert two
email addresses that pop up your email app, and at the bottom of
message box i have a submit button as well.. i would like that to
goto to an email as well.. I am sucha noob at this its not even
funny. i tried flashvalue email button inflash tut but got nothing
out of it.. Can someone please get me walked through this with the
most basic instructions out there? thanks so much

to bring up the users email program use:
getURL('mail:[email protected]');
but if you're trying to use the 'submit' button to send a
message that was entered into a textfield on your site, you can't
pass info to the program, and you must use the LoadVars class, and
have a server-side script like php, that will process the info pass
in and send the email.

Submit Button and New Pages

Hello all~
The questions i have may be too complicated for this forum,
but as I'm struggling desperately, I thought I'd give it a try.
I bought a premade site almost a year ago, and I managed to
update it myself, but I've never been able to get the submit button
on the contact form to work. The reset button works - without any
help from me, but nothing happens when the submit button is
clicked. I'm trying to rekindle my business and so am in need to
update the site, but I can't seem to figure these things out.
Second problem, I need to rearrange some of the pages and
also add new ones, but I tried adding a new page, and can't figure
out how to find the number of the pages that I add. The
actionscript looks like this:
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link != 7)
gotoAndPlay(2);
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link != 7)
gotoAndPlay(11);
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>7) {
_root.robot.play();
_parent["b"+_root.link].play();
_root.link = 7;
_root.play();
How do I know what the root.link is for any given movie clip?
If any of that makes sense to anyone, please email me or
reply. I am frustrated beyond belief!!
L. Monique

the movieclips are name b1, b2,... etc and, if your buttons
are movieclips, they are on the timeline that contains your
movieclip buttons and, if your buttons are true buttons, they are
on the parent timeline of the timeline that contains your
buttons.

Fighting with Submit Button and Return Address / distributing Forms

I go crazy, too ! We designed some smart forms for a new evaluation process, too, and had a successfully test within our IT collegues. Now we handed the process over to the users, and the problems are on!
We made sure that everyone uses the same version of Adobe 9.1.2 Pro - but not 2 users do have the same results.
We found following 2 major issues:
1) When opening the _distributed.pdf - users either completly missing the pink bar with Highlight fields / Submit Form
or, very odd, just the Submit Form button
2) For those who fortunatly have the Submit Button, another odd thing happens:
The Send form correctly shows the to: address .....
Our Desktop Email Application is Notes...
Guess what .... Now the Email adress changes to [email protected]   ( this worked fine in our testings before...)
Do you have any clue from where this address is pulled ???? We checked the identitity Info in the Adobe installation at the users computers, the email and name entries are correct there.....
Please help !!!

I am pretty sure the answer is in the script. I have put together pieces of script from other suggestions and I am pretty sure I have ascrewed something up along teh way. I have looked at the attached link and that is where I got some of the script you see below. I am sure you will refer to me as the hatchet person who chopped the script up. sorry. (It is in the Mouse Up) This does work, sort of...It will give the user the message that the required fields are not filed in if they are blank, but it will send the email, but without the custom message in the subject line.
if (employeename.rawValue != null || employeename.rawValue != "") {
vSubject = "Form completed by " + employeename.rawValue;
vBody = "The form has been sent by " + employeename.rawValue;
if (completedate.rawValue != null || completedate.rawValue != "") {
vBody   = vBody + " on " + completedate.rawValue;
if (EmployeeID.rawValue != null || EmployeeID.rawValue != "") {
vBody = vBody + " Your ID is: " + EmployeeName.rawValue;
var oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
     bUI: false,
     cTo: "[email protected]",     cSubject: "Statement from " + EmployeeName.rawValue + "

Edit email for submit button and Javascript?

How can I change an email address attached to a submit button on a previously created form? 2) How can I see if JavaScript is being used with form? A prior team member created interactive forms with a submit button. Email address attached to button needs to be updated. I tried to edit in Acrobat Pro by double clicking the button to access the properties panel, but it doesn't open. If I recreate the form to amend the address, my file size is about 1/3 of the original which leads me to believe there is JavaScript.

Thank you. My version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X Tools- Forms edits in
LiveCycle Designer after the form has been created and saved.. There is no
other edit option as shown in the screen print below. The action wizard in
Pro doesn't seem to apply in this case. I had tried right clicking the
button in both Pro and LiveCycle previously to no avail. However, when the
form opens in LiveCycle, I just figured out that there is an object window
that allowed me to modify the email address.
However, I don't understand the file size difference or even how to find
the JS. We both used the same original word docx. His file size is 47K and
my recreated file is 19K, a big difference. I didn't compress mine. Any
thoughts on what is causing the difference? The forms are on a client's
website for external users to complete so load time is still important.
Thanks,Vickie

Adding a submit button and it's not showing up

I created a PDF from a Word document that has two images at the top. I want those images to be my submit and print buttons.
When I add a new button and make it invisible it acts like the button isn't even there. Any ideas on why this isn't working?

By making it invisible you are basically removing all user interactivity with the object.
Instead, try changing the properties of the button to make it match the background of your form and then it will appear invisible. Go to the borders palette and remove all borders as well as set the background fill to None ....and also remove the caption. This shoudl allow your button to work correctly.

> There are only two ways to process form data -
You understand that, right? You are asking about how to
process form data -
and I am saying that there are only 2 ways to do that.
> 1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
You understand that? Each form has an action -
<form action="..."
--------------------^^^
The contents of that action attribute tells the browser what
to do when the
form's submit button is successfully pressed.
In other words, you could have <form
action=mailto:[email protected]
That would be ONE way to do it - but there are many
disadvantages, as
explained further in my post. The other way is method 2 -
> Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
form's data, b)
> process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a
database, c) formulate

redirect the visitor
> to some ending page
To do that, you'd have to *have* some server-side script -
there are quite a
few of them to choose from but the normal host usually also
supplies one as
part of your hosting package.

Do you undertand that?
