Adding Link to Form Button?

Hello,
I have three forum buttons. I want to add a link to another
webpage in two and have another one to download a PDF file.
My question is" how in the world do I add a hyperlink to a
forum button? I would think it is so easy but it's not!
Does this take javaScript or something? I hope not.
Can anyone tell me how to simply add a link to a forum
button?
Thanks

In short: You don't. A link is a link and a button is a
button, two
completely different things. If you want the links to appear
as buttons
you could use images or CSS to style them differently.

It could be done with JS, but I would definitely _not_ do
that.

Adding links to multiple buttons.

I made a flash banner + have photo creds on each photo. I want to make it a link to source to the photographer's portfolio.
I've got 5 links for 5 buttons, button1, button2, button3, etc, each is named in the library with a matching name for the instance.
I got the link working for the first image, but whenever I try and do it for others I keep getting a message of
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at flashBanner_tryingnewcode_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()"
Here is my current code, any ideas?:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent) :void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.flickr.com/people/chrisschoenbohm/"));
trace("I'm clicked");
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler2);
function buttonClickHandler2(event:MouseEvent) :void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.flickr.com/people/10566958@N02/"));
trace("I'm clicked 2");

The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope. This could mean that the object....
- is not in the display list
- doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
- does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
- is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.
And just in case it matters since you mentioned it, library names have no meaning other than that... they are not related to code in any way, they just help you know what's in the library, if anything.

Button link a form

I put a button on a form and I would like to have the button to launch a form.
I tried to find the place to enter the link, but button property does not have link and target.
I just wanted to know if it is possible to have a button to link a form and launch it.
Your information and help is great appreciated,
regards,
Iccsi

I am not sure what you mean by "have a button to link a form", but it's possible to have a button do any linking you want by MANUALLY adding some javascript to the code (there is no way to do this using just the DW user interface, unfortunately).
<input type="button" value="Button" onclick="window.location.assign('http://www.example.com/whatever.html');">
If what you mean by "launch a form" is "submit a form", then you can do that too -
<input type="button" value="Button" onclick="document.formname.submit();">

Linking a radio button to a text field in a pdf form

Forgive my ignorance but does anyone know how to link a radio button to a text field in an Acobat pdf form?
I have a series of 4 radio buttons. If you click on one of them I would like to activate a text field which you then have to fill in. In addition it would be good to have it so that if you don't click on the radio button you're not able to fill in the associated text box.
I am a designer not a programmer so I don't know much about javascript. Can anyone help?
Many thanks

You might want to look at Hiding and Showing Form Fields by Thom Parker. You might also want to clear the text field when the radio button changes.

Adding javascript to Print Form button

Using the Script Editor, can I convert this javascript so that it will fire on MouseUp on the Print Form button? The Designer file is attached for reference.
newDocName = "";
f1 = this.getField("topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].Last_Name[0]").valueAsString;
if (f1!="") newDocName += f1 + " ";
f2 = this.getField("topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].First_Name[0]").valueAsString;
if (f2!="") newDocName += f2 + " ";
f3 = this.getField("topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].Date[0]").valueAsString;
if (f3!="") newDocName += f3 + " ";
f4 = this.getField("topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].Email[0]").valueAsString;
if (f4!="") newDocName += f4;
newDocName = newDocName.replace(/[\\,\/,\:,\*,\?,\",\<,\>,\|,\,,\n,\r]/g,"");
docPath = this.path+"";
docPath = docPath.substring(0, docPath.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
mySaveAs(this,docPath+newDocName+".pdf");

Hi penny, I did figure it out actually or more so Wazala technical support figured it out. Email them as the answer might be slightly different depending on your circumstances.

Link a Form Field to new Text Field

PDF - form field
Looking for a code to link a form field(text_1, on page #5) to
another, new form field(text_2, on pages 2-4).
Maybe a "Page Properties" action (i.e., Page Open: field text_2 = field text_1)
~~
Why....
busy but here's why
In the PDF, there are Form fields on page 5 which interface (externalinterface) with an RMA ( a SWF) on page 2.
This all works well.
As the form fields must be carried forward (from page 5 to page 2... to interface the RMA),
the orignal page 5, From fields are copied to pages 2-4 and then "Hidden".
Again, this works just fine.
A reset "action" (button) was added to, well, clear the Form Field for easy reuse.
The reset ''action' does it's job and clears ALL form fields with the same "Name".... on every /all pages.
This causes the dynamic interface, with the RMA, to display blank fields (within the SWF).
This will effect the User's experience.
~~
Work aound.....
Find a way to label the Form Fields (page 5) so that "only they" are reset, and no others.
Create a link of Form Field inputs on page 5 (with names... x,y,z),
to new Form Fields pages 2-4 (with a differnet names... a,b,c).
Thanks in advance for your help....

Hi jm,
This may be what you are after. No text wrap, but notes are there.
Type an account number into the Enquire table to get Client and Contact
Formula in B2 (and Fill Right)
=INDEX(Database::B,MATCH($A2,Database::$A,0))
Large notes display table with Wrap Text
Formula is
=INDEX(Database::D,MATCH(Enquire::$A2,Database::A,0))
All together:
Change it around if you want to look up by Client instead of Account

Database link in forms 6i stopped working in database 10g release 2.

Hi,
We have Forms 6i with all patches added.
We were able to recompile the form that contains database link in database 10g release 1 environment. Recently we migrated to database 10g release 2.
We still can run the form (previously compiled in database 10g release 1), but when we tried to modify the form and recompile it in databbase 10g release 2,
the forms developer closed down without giving any error message.
When we removed any reference to the database link from the form, we were able to recompile the form with no problem. Database Linkd in SQL works.
The question: what do we need to do in the database 10g release 2 to make the link in forms 6i work?
Thank you. Lev.

I recently upgraded my development environment from Forms 10.1.2.0.2 to Forms 10.1.2.3 and am experiencing the same problem -- not able to COMPILE a form that references a database link. The error is: "Error 352 at line 99, column 3 Unable to access another database 'LINKNAME'". This occurs on an UPDATE statement within PL/SQL code in a form trigger that used to compile and work fine.
I tried the database link in SQL Plus and the link is working fine.
Database environment is 10g 10.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2003.
Is anyone able to do this?

Please add a "link" or "share" button to replies / answers for easier referencing and linking.

Currently, the only ways to link to a specific reply or answer are:
Hunt through the poster's activity page and look for the link to the post in question, or
Inspect the post's HTML, extract the ID from the enclosing <li> tag, then manually construct the URL by adding it as an anchor to the top level URL.
Example: https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4fb9d481-741f-49ea-9059-ff1757ead511#b7e0c275-0645-4c3b-a314-480cb89ef04c was
constructed using method 2. See that link for a discussion related to this topic.
These both stink. A forum, especially one as full of information and as frequently cited as this one, really ought to have an easier way to link to specific replies.
Please add a "link" or "share" button (or something similar) that generates a URL that links directly to the post. Perhaps it could go down next to the action links (reply, quote, etc) or over near the vote button.
If one exists, I apologize but I have not been able to find it (and at least one moderator - the one who replied in the example link I just posted - is also unaware of it). This forum has been around long enough that I'm a bit surprised it does not have
this yet.
Thanks,
Jason

Sorry, not possible.
I want to correct myself. There is an old "hack" that still seems to work, which is to create a link to a file, but instead of pointing it to a file you point it to a folder. But Acrobat only lets you select a folder when you create such a link, so how to do it? Create a Word document with such a hyperlink and then use the PDFMaker plugin to convert the file to a PDF. This side-steps the Acrobat limitation and gives you a link to a folder, which when clicked will open it in Windows Explorer.
As I said, it's a bit of a hack and it's possible it will stop working if Adobe ever decides to block it, so use it with care.

Submit Form Button Acrobat X Pro Mac

I used Acrobat X Pro for the first time a couple of months ago. I created a form and when I was finished there was a Submit Form button in the purple field at the top of the document next to the Highlight Existing Fields button, and the text to the left of the buttons said "Please fill out the following form. When finished, click Submit Form to return the completed form. You can save data typed in this form.". I did not create any buttons on this form manually. I want to do this again for another form but I cannot figure out how I did it the first time. I have seen discussions on how to create a submit button, but I cannot get that to work either. Plus I think the Submit Form button looks nicer anyway. Please Help!!
What I Need:
- a pdf form with a submit button that will email me a copy of the completed form when pressed
- the person filling out the form also needs to be able save a copy for themselves
My System:
Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.7
Office 2011 for Mac 14.0
Acrobat X for Mac 10.0.2

I just did what it sounds like you want to do using these instructions for Acrobat Pro 9. Here is the link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS3593E0A4-C5E2-4cde-A09E-2A984346DDD2.w. html
To make it so your user can save a copy go to the Advanced Tab and click on Extend Features in Adobe Reader. That should do it. Good Luck.
Best,
Lisa

Open Form button on UWL is disappers, after changing the XMLs

HI Frndz,
We created a custom UWL(workbench) by creating uwl.standard.hr(from uwl. standard.xml),and when the workflows are triggered Items are not coming to our custom UWl , but these are coming fine to standard UWL.
So i added the WF ITEMS into uwl.standard.hr manually and uploaded, now the items are coming to custom UWL(workbench), but when we click on Items these are not launching WDP application, this is the same case in standard UWL also.
I came to know that when am adding the WF items to uwl.standed.hr than only OPEN FORM button is disappearing in custom and standard UWL also.If i delete these added entries in uwl.stranded.hr than standard UWL items are lunching well.But WF items are not coming to workbench(custom UWL).
Plz suggest us.
Regards
Rajesh

To be honest, I have only grasped < 100% of your message in detail, but...: Windows that have a parent<->child relation must be running in the same thread. In addition, after closing a modeless window, you must not use it anymore. Instead, create
a new instance.
What happens if you do not create a new thread but instead open the child in the same thread (which is obligatory)? You wrote it doesn't work, but I don't know why?
"First I have to declare the child window as a global variable".
How do you define "global"? Normally this is a variable in a Module declared with the scope Public or Friend. But I guess you mean a field of the Form (a variable at class level in the Form).
"I need to be able to send messages from the main window to the child window so that the child window displays the volume."
Why does the main window has to send the messages? Can't the child window handle the device's messages itself?
"I need to run the child window using a separate thread as both windows need to be able to process commands."
Process commands from the device, or commands from the user operating the Forms?

Why can't I attach a link to my button?

I can't for the life of me figure out how to add a link to
the button at the very bottom of the page. When I select the
button, and do "insert hyperlink" it just puts the link to the
right of the button.

Go read Win's post.
Of course you can link a button, but you cannot apply a
hyperlink to a FORM
SUBMIT BUTTON! That's what you have.

Reset Form button showing as Submit Form button?

Hello....
I have run into an odd issue that I can not figure out. For the past year, I have been creating and manually distributing various forms to our Sales Engineering group and outside partners. These forms are all designed from a common template we developed that includes a standard “Reset Form” button. Upon sending out a new form, I received an email with a screen shot that showed the Reset Form button as “Submit Form”. The partner went on to say that they thought it was the same as another form they have from me, which also shows a Reset Button as “Submit Form”
The end user states they are using Adobe 8.1.4. The forms were developed (9 Pro) LC Designer ES 8.2 and are set to be 8.0 or higher compatible. This is the first time I have heard of this and cannot figure out the cause. The label on the canned button itself is being changed from Reset to Submit.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what would cause this and how to correct? I can not assume that this is the only time this has happened, but it is the first I am hearing of it.
Thank you and my apologies if this should have gone to another forum group

I have not heard of this before .....can you send the template to [email protected] so I can investigate? Please include a description of the issue in the email.

Using css on form buttons to make them pretty

I usually use the below css (bottom page) on a page for my

the following errors.

name. add it
input.btn Property progid doesn't exist : DXImageTransform
input.btn Parse Error DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient
(GradientType=0,
StartColorStr='#ffffffff', EndColorStr='#ffeeddaa');
input.btn Parse Error }
If any one knows how to make this errorless I would be
grateful, it does
appear as a nice botton etc lol
any way if any one has input I am grateful

Sure, but some rules are only required for IE. They don't
make sense for
all other browsers and would just clutter up the real CSS,
particularly
if you have to use hacks to apply them to IE only.
>- using CCs for IE may create extra HTTP requests for
that browser only, but
>it adds extra markup for *all* browsers.
Indeed. But how much does it take on each page usually? 50
bytes? 100?
A real example from my own sites with CCs for both IE 6 (CSS
and JS) and
IE 7 (only CSS) is exactly 363 bytes - peanuts.
I also use a lot of 'link' elements for example (next page,
previous,
home, search, etc.) All users have to download them, even
though most
won't recognize them, because only very few browsers support
these meta
navigation links natively. But for those whose browsers
interpret them,
they're a useful addition. And the rest has to download 1KB
more -
doesn't matter.
>- you say who cares about IE6
Hmm, it was not properly worded ... what I meant was more
like this: I
_do_ care about IE 6 (I have to, like most of us), but I
don't really
care if it has to download one or even ten additional files.
In fact on my sites there are some more files for IE 6 only:
a CSS, a
JS, a behaviour file for fixing its PNG issue and maybe some
JPEGs as
replacements where the PNG fix doesn't work. So there are at
least 4
additional files for IE 6 only, but since they're necessary I
don't
worry about these additional HTTP requests.
>but when IE6 is gone for good, you end up
>with unecessary comments in all your documents rather
than useless CSS
>filters in a (few) styles sheets
When IE 6 is dead, it's no problem to remove this single line
from my
page templates. One little change on each site - won't take
long.
And as said, usually there's a bit more than just filters. An
example:
http://static.andreas-pauli.de/css/ie6.css
There's not even a PNG fix in this case. All these rules are
related to
IE's float problems, to give some elements "layout" or to
overcome other
little ugly glitches. Having all these in the main CSS would
make things
much more complicated and almost impossible to remove when IE
6 becomes
obsolete one day.
>- afaik, wellknown IE specific hacks as such as the
*property or _property
>hack are totally safe to use (as long as they are always
followed by a ";")
This is my main problem. No hack is totally safe. If I have
the choice
between a rather ugly, but documented behaviour and a hack, I
definitely
prefer the first one. Even though the common IE hacks are
well-tested
these days and I don't expect real side effects, there's
always a kind
of a negative connotation. I simply don't like them.
Additionally there's the problem that in my case IE 7
requires some
fixes as well, and then things would become really
complicated if you
only want to use hacks. CCs are ugly and pollute the markup a
bit, but
at least they are a reliable way to give each IE the medicine
it needs.
Personally I consider them the only useful & working
feature in IE. ;-)
>fwiw, I'm a strong advocate for markup validation
Me too.
>but I don't care when CSS
>files fail validation (actually I don't expect them to
validate).
Well, I prefer valid CSS too, but don't care too much about
warnings.
For example I usually get tons of warnings when I declare a
foreground
color without a background or the other way round. But this
is by
intention, and since I know what I'm doing (at least in most
cases), I
think I can safely ignore these warnings. But I don't like
errors. And
as said - my main problem are the hacks, which I try to
avoid.
So there's not only technical issues in these cases, but also
a lot of
personal preferences I think. For me CCs are the cleaner way
and much
easier to handle. YMMV, of course.
