cfinput search box and submit button

So I'm doing a search box with a submit button
I'd like it to be intuitive by having the words "search..." inside it by default
how do I make "search..." disappear when the user clicks on the box ?
is there any preference to post or get ?

If it's a search box though, making it a get probably makes sense: it doesn't change the system so it's not really a POST sort of operation, plus the punter can bookmark the search (results) URL which is quite handy.
Google uses a GET, for example.
But there's no hard-and-fast rule, obviously
As for the original question: this is really a client-side question, not a CF question (despite using <cfinput>). As someone else suggested, read up on HTML and probably the JavaScript event model.

Can't load any websites. I do not get any "error messages", the "enter" button has no effect in the address bar. Works fine in the FF search box and in IE.

Entering a URL in the address bar and hitting enter does nothing. Neither the "enter" button or "address bar arrow", for going to the website, function. Website does not load and no error messages appear. "Enter" button works fine in the FF search box and in IE, so it's not my keyboard.
Tried most of the recommended fixes under the "Error loading websites" article with the exception of "DNS refetching", as typing "about:config" in the location bar does no good as the "enter button" won't function. I've removed and re-added FF back into the windows firewall, removed ZoneAlarm from my system, edited proxy settings, deleted and reinstalled FF several times. NOTHING WORKS!!! I'm a die hard FF fan and this is KILLING me. Please HELP!!!

You have a lot of information in packed in the "More system details..." (in the right-hand column), where it looks like you found a solution. If not take a look at "Problematic Extensions" the AVG Free installation of their "'''AVG Free Search'''" can cause such problems. Directions to fix that are specific and involve reinstalling AVG Free without the Link Scanner component.

Who Decided to Combine the Search Box and Address Bar?

A very wise person once said:
"Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler!"
That fundamental rule of design has been volated with Internet Explorer 9.
I've been using IE9 for about a month now, trying to get used to all the new things. Performance-wise it's nice, and the changes to security are welcome. Okay, so the color-management is half baked, and it still has its problems, but I guess
it's an improvement.
But what idiot decided to make the search box and the address field one and the same?
You think I'm being petty? Go try to research what a particular file is - for example, go see if you can find info on "bib.dll".
It wants to make it into a URL. It's not a URL. It may LOOK like one, but it's a name, honest!
Putting quotes around it doesn't help. Maybe I'm missing the advanced syntax it takes to get such a thing to be a search term instead of a URL. Even if so, how is this an improvement or simplification? It's certainly not intuitively obvious how
to force a search, short of dredging up a link to Google and typing info in there directly.
Doing a search and typing in an address are two FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS.
And hey, it's not a big deal that you can no longer see what it was you searched for, and maybe even edit it and search again. No, because now the search engine pages have to waste space to put up a box showing what you just searched for, since it's
now GONE out of the address field.
How does stuff like this pass a design review?
And to think the Microsoft Engineers worked extra hard to take it out.
You Engineers at Microsoft need to take the product back from your moronic marketing people and make it actually work right.

Ed, with 36 years software engineering experience, I know the difference between the difficulty of adapting to change and when something just isn't right.
This isn't right. Ever hear the phrase "apples and oranges" to describe two things that don't go together? That concept fits well here.
You say that thinking along the lines of "you no longer had to think about which box you want to type into" helped justify the change.
Is there something wrong with thinking? This is akin to saying, "you no longer had to think about which nozzle at the gas station to fill your tank from".
Diesel doesn't work in a gas engine. Nor does the water from the garden hose.
You say "both methods of typing work in the one box". But they don't, logically! Did you actually read this thread?
Is there something wrong with logic?
Alas, what the simple users of the general public want and what experienced computer users need are clearly two different things, and it's clear looking back that this move simply marked another step in Microsoft's clear intent
to walk away from making serious computer operating systems that actually
work. Windows 8 is testament to that (and don't tell me you haven't noticed all the negative response). Other such things include Windows Search - which is designed to be unable to actually do an exhaustive search... Even going
back as far as hiding file extensions by default. And don't get me started on the use of telemetry to justify deprecating such things as Windows Backup.
Do you understand the difference between leading and following? Which, as a concept, would you say is better? You need to stay the hell away from trying to emulate what Google does. You can do better! If you want a different
example, follow Firefox - it still has a search box. Even Apple - known for dumbing things down to the level of the family dog - stil puts a search box in Safari.
I don't mean to be critical of your response, Ed, but this is a good example of "the operation was a success but the patient died".
Thank goodness there are 3rd party developers who are struggling to put back functionality Microsoft keeps removing. But then Microsoft removes the APIs they use. That's not going to keep!
P.S., Watch the film "Idiocracy" some time.

Customizing the text of next,back, and submit buttons in form guides

Hi,
We are preparing some forms in Turkish language. So, we need to change the text of next, back and submit buttons in the form guides. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks for your help.

This can be done via Flex Builder. There is a good Next panel button example in this guide:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/fggettingstarted.pdf. I believe you can also control the text via the style sheet applied to the guide.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Button click="{panels.selectedIndex++}"
enabled="{panels.selectedIndex < panels.length-1}"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

import ga.views.PanelListView;
private var panels:PanelListView = PanelListView.instance;

Tabbing to "Prev", "Next" and "Submit" buttons in FormsCentral template

I try to use my mouse as little as possible when entering data in forms. How does one tab to "Prev", "Next" and "Submit" buttons in FormsCentral template so that all one has to do is press "enter" on the keyboard or spacebar?

Thanks Roman for your response. Press Tab or Shift-Tab works fine on my Windows computers but does not appear to work on my IPad. Maybe it’s an Apple thing. BTW – loving what I’m seeing so far in FormsCentral.

"Accept and Submit" button disabled

I am trying to applying for Adobe Runtimes / Reader Distribution License Agreement but the "Accept and Submit" button is disabled on https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=distribution_form. I have tried everthing I could but unable to proceed. Please help. Thanks.

One more thing: Since I did not have Safari installed on my office computer on which I was facing the problem, I tried at home on my home computer using Safari which worked. So, I do not know if the problem was with web browser only. It is also possible that on my home computer, I might have had another version of Java and/or different settings.

Use checkboxes with drop down and submit button to pas values

I have a form with six checkboxes, one drop down, and one submit button. I want the check box ON values to be appended to the hyperlinks stored in the drop down. The onclick event of the submit button sends the form results to a url with the checkbox values appended to the end of the hyperlink in the drop down. Need code please. Several programmers have bailed out on this when they got down to the event in the submit button. Can you Sun experts do better??? Here is the code for the form WITHOUT a properly programmed submit button and no javascript.
<form name="jump">
<select name="menu">

Thank you in advance for any replies.

This forum is concerned with Java and not Javascript (they are not the same) . Though there are forum members who could help you on this you would probably do better to go to a Javascript forum.

The search box and non-US english characters?

Anyone know how to make the search box work right with non-US characters? For example lets say I wanted to search for an U with an umlaut (Sütterlin). If I type the ü it gives me every word with a U in it.

Same here.
The icons are grayed out. And the search text box won't take a click.
The rest of the app seems to function normally.
Restarted. Trashed the prefs and caches. So far, still won't work.

Paramform=yes and submit button

Hi all,
I'm trying to deploy a new report from web (just want to put a link to that report)
This report takes 2 parameters from user input, my link looks like that : http://myserver:myserverport/reports/rwservlet?server=myserver&report=myreport.rep&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&userid=xxx/xxx@xx&paramform=yes
From that url I get a paramform with my 2 parameters which i fill in, then i click on the "submit query" button, but nothing happen, it just reload the same page and never display my reports which run fines when i put the parameter in the url.
I've look in the reports queue manager and my report are show as executed successfully.
Can anybody point me what i'm missing for my reports to be display when i click that button?
I'm using Report Builder 9.0.4.0.33 , for the moment i'm trying to run the reports against an Windows 2000 IDS 9.0.4.1 OC4J instance, and will deploy it on an Redhat 3 ES IAS 9.0.4.2
Thanks in advance.
(sorry for my poor english)

Arun, I am just learning my way around reports in the 10g world so take my suggestion with a grain of salt.
Look at adding a "pfaction=" param to your report_others parameter on the report object. It might look something like this:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no p_1='||:block3.deptno||' pfaction=reports/rwservlet?_hidden_server=rep_server&report=my_report_name&paramform=no&destype=printer&desname=\\print_server\HPLaserJ4240n&desformat=pdf&userid=scott%2Ftiger%40oradev.world&p_1='||:block3.deptno);
The sample I pasted above gives more params than you need but I think the pfaction param that is passed in the report_others param of the object basically tells the "Submit" button what to do. I also used a hard coded text string for most of the example where you would probably want to make it more dynamic.
The rp2rro library can handle the encoding of characters to make it URL safe i.e. @ = %40, etc.
See the document below for more details, it also has an encode function example:

Reader Extension and Submit Button

Hi,
I reader extended a form with the Reader extension web application.
The issue is when I start the process in the workspace and my form is open, the submit is not embed anymoe in the workspace.
How could I fix that ?

When a PDF Form is shown in Workspace, the LC server actually attempts to make a modification to the form (called "augmentation") in which a scripting bridge is added to the form. This happens inside the Render Service used to show the form. Workspace needs this to happen so that it can instruct Acrobat/Reader in the browser to hide the submit button, thus allowing the Workspace UI buttons to be used instead. I know that if the PDF Form is signed then LC will not attempt to make this modification in case it breaks the signature. This is what might be happening here because when you reader extend a PDF there is actually a signature applied.
If this is the cause I can think of two suggestions off hand:
- You might consider Reader Extending the Form on demand as part of your render service by uploading your Reader Extensions Credential (the p12 / .PFX file) to Trust Store and then using it with the Reader Extensions Service in a new version of your render service.
- You can use LC Designer to add the "Form Bridge" to your form before you reader extend it with the web application and place it in your repository.

When I begin typing in the upper right search box, after a few letters are typed, a menu drops down with choices. When I click on a choice it doesn't appear in the search box and I have to type everything myself.

When I use the search box on the upper right and begin to type a word/words when the menu of possible choices appears and I click on the one I want, nothing happens. It doesn't automatically put it into the box like it used to and I have to type everything out.

Didn't work for me. Got the drop-down but still won't transfer to Google box.

Hi,
Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by system store componments lost or corrupt. Dism command below should be helpful to resolve this problem:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
