Auto submit a form

In my form processing pages, I have some values I'd like to
pass as hidden form fields. On this page I create hidden form
fields based on info defined in the URL. The fields are created and
then a cflocation takes the user to the next page. Since everything
on this page is automatic, is there a way to get the form to auto
submit so the hidden values are usable on the next page? Thanks for
the help!

Session variables are simply variables that are 'remembered'
for the duration of that particular user's session. So, when you
have the value you want, you use <cfset session.yourVariableName
= yourValue>. Then, for the rest of the session, you can call on
that variable to use in your code.

  • Auto Submit the form..

    Hi
    I am developing an application where I run a timer using javascript..
    All I want is to auto-submit the form when my timer comes to zero..
    whenever the form is submitted I should get all the values from the HTML file..
    The user is given a submit button where in which the user can submit the form before the time runs to zero..
    How can I auto submit the form..??

    The forms[0] returns the first form in the document root. I'd rather to use the form name instead.
    document.formname.submit();
    I personally use getElementById() :)
    And by the way, isn't the 'name' attribute for form deprecated? At least, that's what an IDE I used to use kept displaying as a warning; I never bothered to actually look it up.

  • Auto submit virtual form on change (not the whole form)

    If you tick the "auto submit on change" option of a drop down, it submits the whole form, thus all the required fields have to be filled. Are there any way to submit only the perticular virtual form on change?
    Thank you very much.

    I don't see the problem... Are the files being digitally signed? If not then there's no difference at all between submitting the form data and using it to populate a local copy of the file and submitting the entire file.
    It's technically impossible to extract a page from a PDF viewed in Reader.
    Another alternative: Split the file in two parts and put a link on the last page of the first file to the second part, which will contain only the page with the form fields. You can add a link and some text to the page saying that it is a continuation of the first document.

  • Auto Submit in Tabular form

    I have a tabular form in which I want a select list to auto submit. I have tried using OnChange but can't seem to get it to work.
    What would I need to change on this select list to get it to auto submit the tabular form for me?
    Thanks!
    Edited to add -- I have added this code to the element attributes of the field and it does submit but the LOV then returns blank.
    onchange="doSubmit('SAVE')"

  • Auto-Submit On Change in DropDown List not working properly!

    Hi all,
    I�ve got a problem with a drop down list an a table with some rows on my page. The property "Auto-Submit on Change" is set for the drop down because the valueChange-method has to do some work when the user selects another value from the drop down.
    The problem is that after selecting another item from the drop down, the table fields don�t keep their values, which I had entered before I selected another item in the drop down. But: When I select an item again, suddenly exactly these values are set.
    Here my code:

    Is there some explanation for this behavior or it�s really a bug in the way how the drop down is submitting the form? I would understand it when commitChanges is not working here because of auto submit on change (==immediate?). but once it works und once it doesn�t work!

    Hi There,
    Not sure what you mean. Have you tried Netbeans 6 yet. Do you see same behaviour in it as well?

  • Auto Submit option on calendar

    Try as I might, I can't get a calendar component to auto submit when a new date is selected....the auto submit option is ticked on the sub menu....the onChange code (common_timeoutSubmitForm(this.form, 'calendar1');) is there, but nothing happens in either firefox or internet explorer.....and I can't find a solution anywhere
    Any ideas??

    Hi Edwin,
    When I change a start date, I want to check if it is
    greater than end date and automatically change the
    end date to be the same as start.I'm not sure I understand. How are you changing the startDate? The current calendar requires one to choose a startDate and endDate in advance before rendering. So your app needs to decide what the interval should be and set the startDate and endDate in the init() or prerender() method. The page will then be rendered, then the user chooses a date and submits the page, then your app can then access the selectedDate property.
    I agree that the calendar is difficult to use. For one thing, I think the basic function of a calendar or date picker type component should be to choose any date at all. I think we need a new calendar component to solve this problem and to fix a number of other bugs with the current one. So the best I can do is to offer some workarounds.
    BTW, as part of my component authoring work, I am developing a sample DHTML calendar that does solve some of these problems. It could be the basis of an improved popup calendar. I hope to publish it soon.

    validate or valuechange events.Yes, auto-submit does not work, but does it need to? I can't think of a common use case where a user selects a date and it would automatically submit the page. I've surveyed several calendar components on the web and do not see any with an auto-submit feature. Is it not possible to add a submit button to the page next to calendar.
    Thanks for your feedback.

    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?

  • Sharepoint 2010, InfoPath 2010 with Custom Workflow. Error Message: InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while form was submitted...

    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....

  • Delete from wwv_flow_files after auto submit

    Hi,
    I have a situation in a file upload page (based on the How TO Doc), where auto submitting is done when an item (select list with submit) is used. We stored the uploaded file in a custom file and normally it works. But when the select list item is used before the submit button is pressed, then the file is automatically upload. (see posted topic Re: File Upload Submit Woes
    In this previously posted topic, Scott Spadafore described a workaround using a computation where to delete files from wwv_flow_files. I implemented it and it works fine, when auto submit is done. But when doing this, my doSubmit Process is not executed properly, this means storing the uploading files in a custom table fails.
    I think computation (after Submit) is done before validation and processing (after submit).
    Anyone any idea how to solve the problem (to delete file from wwv_flow_files after auto submit is done and to insert uploaded file in in a custom file when submit button pressed)?
    Conditional computation does not have "When no button pressed" condition or something like this.
    I'm searching for a solution to implement a computation (with deleting auto-submitted files from wwv_flow_files), but only when no submit button was used.
    Thomas

    Thomas,
    When a button is used, or a doSubmit submits the page, the "request" value is set and is available for inspection by computations, processes, etc. In your case, you cannot use the declarative "when button pressed" controls, but you can use built-in condition types that evaluate the request or you can code pl/sql expression conditions like :REQUEST = 'button name'.

  • 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...
    -- Craig

    I 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!

  • Cannot submit pdf form online

    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) .
