Auto Submit form

Hi there,
I've been looking through the documentation and forum, but so
far unable to find what I am looking for (apologies if I have
simply missed it!)
I'm looking for a tutorial on how to submit form data as the
form is filled out. ie. some kind of onblur technique in each form
field. I'm not using this for any sort of covert sneakiness. Simply
for an admin page to process bookings quickly. ie. changing seating
quantity for a concert booking system.
Is this possible with Spry?

Just add this to the form element:
onblur="document.myForm.submit();"
myForm would be the form name/id

Is it good practice to auto submit forms?

My users use forms that involve lots of textual matter and sometimes when after working for hours typing into the forms they might move out to some other links there by not submitting the form.
Is it a good practice to auto save the contents of the form if there has been no inactivity for 5 minutes?
What are the pros and cons of this approach?
One problem the above approach could throw is if the user actually types in some data and forgets to close the browser window, the forms keeps on getting submitting unintentionally. This is ok with the user.
Other alternatives like prompting the user for saving at frequent intervals have been thought of.

as long as you can determine there's been no activity (simple enough with onblur/onfocus and other events in the fields) and can save the contents in a way that is not a submission, then it's not a bad idea. I wouldn't save after X minutes while the user is doing some entry, cuz it may interrupt what they are doing. Or you could use hidden frames and JS to save things without affecting the user.

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')"

Hi
How did you get it to work? I kind of have a similar issue. Thanks.

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 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.

Struggling with the Submit Form

My incomplete site has three links which don't seem to work at all. Unsurprisingly they are all the same file type and I don't have the slightest clue on how to fix it!

I have supplied the coding for one of my pages 'Site Feedback'. My goal is to create a send-able form where the user can contact us at [email protected]. You guys supplied me with this script, but for some reason (probably due to my own fault) it isn't working! Thanks for the help.

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:

and the code of the valueChange-Method:
public void dropDown1_processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) {
getSessionBean1().getColumnProvider().commitChanges();
List positions = getSessionBean1().getColumnProvider().getColumnList();
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?
This might be of help to you

Drag & drop solution - submit form

Hi
I'm creating some drag&drop page.
My page looks like:
<af:subform id="ListID">
<afh:script source="/drag_n_drop.js"/>
<af:table value="#{myBean.list}" var="item" >
<af:column>
<af:outputText value="#{item.data}" onmousedown="initDrag()" onmouseup="doDrop()" />
</af:column>
</af:table>
<af:inputHidden value="#{myBean.dragID}"
valueChangeListener="#{myBean.drop}" id="dragID" />
</af:subform>
Now in initDrag() I'm able to properly get ID of dragged item and put it in hidden element.
How should look my doDrop() javascript handler?
Simple submit on proper form doesn't propagate dragID to bean and valueChangeListener isn't triggered.
When I add on page simple commandButton, and push it instead of calling doDrop() function, everything works fine.
I can also reuse javascript function from onclick in such button and it works (with buttion on page). However I don't want there be any button.
What do I miss?

Hi there,
As per the current design, 'Auto Submit' works only for correct answers. You can try adding the following advanced action in case if you don't want to report the Drag and Drop interaction.
1. Create a user variable called 'count' with value '0'.
2. Create a conditional action with the following statements.
Assume your total number of Drag sources is 4, and then create a conditional action with the following statements
Select the Target Object, Click on the 'Accept' button from Drag and Drop Properties Panel. (Accepted Drag Source dialog should open up)
Set 'On Drop action' as Execute Advanced action, select the advanced action created in the above step, (set it for all sources).
This action gets triggered while dropping sources and the else part gets executed on drop the last source object and movie continues to the next slide
As I mentioned before, this doesn’t actually submit the question so it won’t work with 'Reporting' scenarios.
Thanks,

How to auto collect form responses and get an email notification?

Is there a way to auto collect form responses AND get an email notification? Currently I have my form set up to auto save and collect the responses and its working well but I cannot figure out how to add an email notification as well so we know when to check for new submissions.

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.
>
I have tried several javascript onchange event and
this never gest fired. The onclick works, but not
want I want.OK, I don't remember what I tried before.
>
Setting auto-submit to on never fires the calendar
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.

Upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0 - buttons missing to submit form

Hello everyone,
We have upgraded to LiveCycle ES2 from LiveCycle ES.
When we open the tasks via Workspace ES2, the buttons are missing to submit form. Buttons which should be there because "User must select a route to complete this task" option is selected; and it was working fine in version 8.2. There is only a submit button which appears on the form.
Could you advice about the case please?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sedat,
which version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader are you using? Seems that you're using Version 8.x, right?

Field validation using distributed form's "Submit Form" built-in function

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me out with a small problem I'm having. I have a hidden field on a form which is the total of other numeric values on the form with code in place so that if the number doesn't equal what it should, the alert box is displayed. The problem is that it's a distributed form and even though the message is displayed, if you hit submit (Built-in Submit Form) button form on a second attempt, it submits anyway. So the question is, how do I change the built-in API submit button code to catch the error? Because it's a distributed form, am I dealing with global variables vs. form level? I've tried using the "event.rc = false" at the form level to no avail. I can't seem to locate the built-in "submit form" code so that I can change that to make this APP work. Or is there a better way to do this. My validation code is below and I would greatly appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks,
Tom

They should add up to 136, but are adding up to " + this.getFiel ("RankGameTotal").value + "."); } } else { }

try67,
Thanks for your reply. When you say to "remove the Submit action, and submit the form yourself inside your code" are you refering to the
distributed forms "Submit Form" button displayed on the purple tool bar of the distributed form? And if so, could you please let me know how I can do that? I've
looked into that and haven't found an answer. Doing that would solve my problem of having my own submit code acting correctly and the
distributed forms "Submit form" code not having any idea about my forms desired field value.
Thanks again,
Tom

Is it possible to remove the submit form button that's automatically created when you distribute a form?

I have created a form for my boss and distributed it. She doesn't want the submit form button to appear as people don't need to submit the form to anyone, just fill it in and keep a copy. I can't figure out how to remove this button. It's not one I've created, it's the one that it automatically generates when you don't have a submit button in your form. Is it possible to remove this button or do we just have to live with it? I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks

You can have more control on the email subject/ to and CC Email address, if you use a regular button and place the code in the click event.
Refer to the attached sample below.

[OIM] Error in Direct Provisioning (with auto save form) - GTC DB App Table

Hi,
I am getting an error when setting up direct provision of a GTC DB App Conn using OIM access policy (and group membership) or through manual provisioning with prepopulate and auto save form.
Manual provisioning with prepopulate ONLY (not with auto save form) WORKS!!!
Some information about my OIM config:
- Prepopulate adapters are set up on both forms (parent and child)
- "Auto prepopulate" and "Auto save form" are set up at Process Definition
- For direct provisioning, I have created an access policy with an associated group which has a membership rule
What it is working:
- Provisioning manually, using prepopulate adapters only, not auto save form. Both tables are updated properly
- All *3 tasks are called and finished with status=Completed*: "System Validation", "Create User" and "Child Table UD_<connector child table name>_US row Inserted"
Testing direct provisioning:
- I have tested adding the resource manually with prepopulate and autosave form configured, and also through access policy/group membership. The error is the same on both tests
- The resource is displayed as provisioned and it is created an entry in the parent table of the resource, but not on child table
- I also observed that only: "System Validation" and "Create User" tasks were executed (status=Completed). But it is missing the task "Child Table UD_<connector child table name>_US row Inserted"
- The error log info displays only an error regarding to UGP table (Groups info) but I am not sure if that is the cause of entry creation on child table.
It seems the SQL stmt tries to get ugp_name (group name) using ugp_key but that has null value.
"SELECT ugp_name FROM ugp WHERE ugp_key=java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00936: missing expression"
Note: When testing manually (without auto save form), I got "SELECT ugp_name FROM ugp WHERE ugp_key=1" which it is the same SQL stmt but the value is provided.
My guess:
- It seems that error is aborting the whole execution process so "Child Table UD_<connector child table name>_US row Inserted" task does not run, even though previous tasks are finished with the status=Completed. Consequently, the entry is not created on child table.
Please, any guess or help would be very helpful. In case nothing works, I guess I will have to create and customize a "Update child Form" task as an workaround which would be called after "Create User" task.
Regards,
Hugo
My environment:
- Windows 2003, WebLogic 10.3.0.0, OIM 9.1.0.2 BL4, Oracle 10g, Java 1.6, DB App Table Connector 9.1.0.2 (from October 2009)
- Target Resource: Parent and Child Table (Oracle 10g - the same OIM DB)

An update:
I solved that error about "ORA-00936: missing expression" applying OIM 9.1.0.2 BP05. That was not impacting my issue regarding direct provisioning with auto save form and child form.
So please if anyone can confirm:
- Can I set up prepopulate adapters on child forms AND also use "auto save form" on GTC DB App Table connector?
If not, any suggestion?
Regards
Hugo
