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.

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....

Submit the form as email attachment

when i submit the form , i want the form to be as a pdf attachement in my mail rather than the default xml type
how to do this?

Hi Sai,
I ran into this same issue a few weeks ago. Do NOT use the Email Submit Button. Instead use the regular Button. On the Field tab, make sure Control type is Submit. On the Submit tab, choose PDF. And on Submit to URL, type mailto: [email protected]?subject=xxxx
That will work..

Adobe validations of field before submit the form

Hi forum
I have an Interactive Form, but i can validate the fields before submit the form and display a popup message, is this possible ??

Hi josue,
Use the regular button and for that in the click event write all the validation scripting and at the end use the following code
In JavaScript: xfa.connectionSet.MyWSDLDataConnection.execute(0);
In FormCalc: $connectionSet.MyWSDLDataConnection.execute(0)

Users not able to submit the form

Hi All,
user's are submitting infopath form and getting an error "Form cannot be submitted", any troubleshooting ideas , I am new in infopath forms

Try to replicate it. Once you can do that try to submit the form just as the clock ticks over to a new minute.
Check the event logs on the servers
Check the ULS Logs
Check the event logs on the client PC
The reason to do this at a set time is to make it easier to check the specific time in the logs.

I have a pdf registration form on my website. It has a link that take the user to a payment page within my website. They pay then submit the form. The link currently opens in the same browser tab as the form and the user thinks that is the submission, which it is not. I want my link to open into a new browser tab. How do I do that?

You can use the following JS code:
app.launchURL("http://www.example.com", true);

Hello,
Is your InfoPath form is fully trusted. Please check once. You can set this to true from "Security and Trust" option.
Thanks! BR, Prasham http://prashamsabadra.blogspot.in/

Infopath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterik(required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values)

Infopath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterik(required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values).
Press Ctrl+Shift+O for next error or Press Ctrl+Shift+I for error details
Please help me, Thank in advance.
Sravan.

Hi Sravan, this means that one or more of the fields are required to be filled in or have validation set up on them so that the information entered matches a certain criteria. Make sure what's entered matches what's required. If the form still can't be
submitted, check the rules set in InfoPath and the list/library to see what's causing the error(s).

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

I need to be able to give them a total price calculation when they submit the form. even if im not using credit card as my only payment option.

i have an online menu - many of my customers pay by check, cash and credit card as well - is there not an option to show those options... and items vary in price, i need to be able to give them a total price calculation when they submit the form.

a) No, b)Yes. Firstly, the only payment gateway currently supported from FormsCentral is PayPal. If your customers complete the FormsCentral Form and order 6 of item 1 at one dollar each and 3 of item 2 at two dollars each, when they press 'Continue to Checkout' button, they are transferred to the PayPal Gateway - which will show the Total to Pay. That's no help for your folks wanting to pay by check. Think you may need another solution. Acrobat won't link directly to a Payment Gateway either, without you doing a bit of JavaScript etc.

Hi, after submission of the form, can the respondents make changes to their answers and submit the form again without completing every single question?

Hi there,
After submission of the form, can the respondents make changes to their answers and submit the form again without completing every single question?
Thanks for your help

Hi Paline,
Unfortunately this cannot be done.However, being the author of the form you can make the required changes in the response file.
Thanks,

When some people try to submit the form Adobe reader requires that they sign it instead

I have created a form uploaded it into forms Central and the downloaded it to emaiul to respondents. Some respondents submit the form no problem while for others the signing tool for Adobe kicks in and they are unable to submit the form. Do you know how to fix this or what causes this?

Use the forum for Adobe Reader.

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.

I want to have users submit the form in PDF format but it doesn't work using the email submit button

Hi all,
I have a form that I want to be returned to a specific email address as a PDF File. This is so that reservations people can open the pdf, and extract the information from it. Keeping it as a PDF will allow them to easily read and use the form.
When I use the "Add and Email Submit button" approach, as outlined in the "How to" area, everything works fine, except that the format of the submitted file is in xml, not Pdf which is what I need it in.
I then tried adding a Button to the document from the Library, and set it's "Control Type" to "Submit". This provided me with the submit sub-tab, where I set the "Submit Format" to PDF. In the "Submit to Url", I entered the following - "mailto:[email protected]" (without the quotes)
The first approach works, but is not in the PDF format that I need (I believe).
The second approach keeps giving the following error when one selects the submit button - "This operation is not permitted".
We use Lotus Notes (yes, I know...not my favorite either, and it may be the problem here).
Any help that might be provided is greatly appreciated!!
Rob

Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
Thanks again,
Rob
