Forms with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi All,
Does anyone have a link or tutoral on how to create a form in Dreamweaver CS4. I need to make a "Request a Catalog" Form.
I especially might need the most help on figuring out on how to receive the info thru my email.
many thanks,
Alex

HTML forms don't do anything without an Action. You can use Mailto: but this is just asking for Spam and limits the usefulness of your form. Your best solution is to use a form processing script with spam controls built in.
Ask your host if they offer any form-to-email processing scripts you can use... or which flavor script you can use on your server (PHP, ASP, ASP.net, ColdFusion, etc...)

Submission forms in Dreamweaver MX?

I'm trying to create a submission form in Dreamweaver MX. Users can fill in any of the fields they wish, and upon clicking the "Submit" button, the information is sent to my email address. Examples of the fields the users fill in include general comments and file uploading. I was able to get the form itself working, but I my question regards the submission of the form.
At first, I tried using Formmail to have the form submitted to my email. This did work, but I was wondering if Dreamweaver MX comes with anything that does the same thing? In other words, is there a feature in MX that allows submitted forms to be sent to my email address? And if so, how do I enable this feature?
Thanks for the help.

>In other words, is there a feature in MX that

No. You need to obtain a form mail (server side) script. You might start by checking with your host to see if they have something that works with your hosting plan.

Making HTML5 Forms in DW CC (video)
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cc/html5-forms-workflow/
Making the HTML form is easy but the form processing script which collects data & sends it to your email is not quite so simple. Start with your web host. Ask them if they have form-to-email processing scripts you can use. If they don't, find out which scripts your hosting plan supports (php, asp, asp.net, perl, coldfusion, etc...)

Creating a multi-language website on Dreamweaver-cs4

Hi,
What would be the best aproach to create a multi-language website ( max 10 html pages , not a portal ) on CS4.
I had Joomla in my mind but I want to learn Dreamweaver way.
Should create different folders for each additinonal language and copy the default files and edit them accordinly? ( Default will be English, Turkish and German might be other options )
Thanks a lot

Watch for site management issues.
Here's a good reference: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/ora_dw_cs4_mm.html
You might have a home page that appears in all languages, linking to each section of your site. Each section might be in a folder named like "IVFDeutsch" for the German version, etc., and the 'home page' for German could be www.yoursitename.com/IVFDeutsch/index.html so you would have an index page in each subsection.
Consider using Templates, and a nav for each section that is presented in the language of the section, to treat your other language speaking visitors as well as possible.
You have many decisions and possibilities..have fun with the site.

How to create am email subscribe form with EA?

I know how to create the input elements, but how I create the form element directly in EA?

Thanks. I have it working now.
One problem working with most e-mail list providers is that the response, when someone subscribe to a list, is anew html page that replaces the one you have. In most cases that is not an issue, but if you want to keep the flow in your page it is.
The typical way to solve the problem is by not using the default forms, but by creating one that works through a PHP or other server side script that can receive a response that can handle anyway you want on the fron end.
Since I am trying to see what can I do without depending in particular sewrver side code, that was not an option for me.
The way I solved was dynamically creating an iframe inside EA so the response html page will be restricted to that area, which I can manipualte from EA.

Email from Adobe: Your Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 trial has expired

I just got a strange email:
Subj: Your Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 trial has expired
From: direct at adobesystems dot com
The strange part is that I have never downloaded any CS4 product, DW or other. At first I thought it might be some sort of phishing email, but the links inside definitely go to adobe.com pages.
Anybody else (who hasn't downloaded a trial) get one of these? Is this some sort of new marketing method?
I did download and install Spry 1.61 trial into CS3 42 days ago, but no CS4 products. Would that trigger a DW CS4 expiration notice?

That is very odd Mark, they must have you in there system somewhere, and have got very confused. I did once download the trial, but never got an email.
Bit confused about the Spry 1.61 trial, whats that then? I thought Spry was free, and hence no trial.

Need to create a user policy form

Can anyone help?
I need to create a policy form in Dreamweaver CS4 that a user needs to accept, or not, before proceeding further to another page in my site? After they accept the form the functionality needs to take the individual to another page where they are able to make charitable contributions using credit cards that would be sent directly to the organizations bank. They are trying to avoid using PayPal.
This is my first time using this concept and I'm getting lost.
Thanks
Swany

Unfortunately it's not perfect. With the other recommendation a user could simply go to the URL without viewing the policy page and thus not accepting the terms. For instance in the example anyone could just go to http://google.com without accepting the terms. Just view source code and see where GoTo URL directs upon accept. Also because there is no server side restriction to the page then the page is crawled by search engines so someone searching for your page online may go to your form page without first being redirected to the policy page.
With server side restriction the page is not crawled by search engines so the page will not come up in search results and users could not simply visit the URL because it would restrict access and redirect to the "login" AKA policy page first. Server side authentication is always the best method.
If you'd still like to go about doing it the recommended way let me know and I can walk you through the process. Basically just create a MySQL database table for the users username and password then user Dreamweaver Server behaviors to create the restrict access page and login page. It's pretty straight-forward to use the server behaviors in Dreamweaver once the database is setup. I walked someone through how to setup a database with GoDaddy recently and it's a similar process with other hosts.
If the other imperfect method that can be worked around works for you then that's great!

Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I am having trouble creating a form in Dreamweaver for my website. The form is fairly basic, just some contact/comment input required.
I created my webpages using Fireworks CS4 and exported them as HTML and Images. The basic format of my website is to have a rectangular block in the middle of the page, where the form elements are supposed to be entered. However, it seems that I cannot simply add a textbox or textarea to the middle of my page. If I try, everything gets shifted around very strangely.
How can I leave the format of the page intact, but add in the form elements (name, email, comments)?
You can see the page here: http://www.wafflesnjoe.com/preview/contact.htm
Thank you

Thanks Murray, I had a feeling that that's where I'd be headed.
Is there a more seamless way of transferring webpages from Fireworks to Dreamweaver, such as CSS and Images, that would make it easier for me to work in Dreamweaver?
Would you recommend building websites in Dreamweaver, and not bother with Fireworks?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a newbie.

Subject: Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver
I'm not very familiar with Dreamweaver, so this may be a basic question to ask.
The trick is to be familiar with HTML, not DW, since HTML underlies everything that DW does, and that you want to do on a web page.
To add a form to a page without disrupting the layout of the page, you have to a) select a layout design that constitutes good practice, and b) build the layout so that it accommodates the form. I know that's not a very satisfactory answer.
First of all, unless you are fairly familiar with HTML, your layout will not be easy to implement because you will need to constrain the form and its elements to fit vertically within that central area. This is not so easy because you have no way of controlling how large or small I (as a visitor) am displaying my text in my browser. Thus, that form's content is going to expand or contract vertically causing the boxed area to need to expand or contract accordingly. This is layout 101 for an experienced developer, but may just push you over the edge if you have no HTML under your belt. So, I would discourage you from trying to use this design. Is that possible?

Email PDF Form and Sign Entire Submission - Can this lock the form and show the signature?

Thanks to those who explained how to create a button that allows me to email a form as a PDF rather than XML. It helped me a great deal.
Now I want to cause our time sheet adjustment form to be emailed from the employee to their supervisor, and have the form-data be read-only, and the employee signature to be obvious to the recipient.
I've tried checking the Sign Submission check box in the Submit tab of the Button Object window, (where the mailto: tag has been entered.
I clicked the "Settings..." button on the Submit tab and then, under the "Sign Data and Submit Settings" dialog box I selected "Sign Entire Submission". But this does not lock the data and the resulting PDF form once emailed, shows no sign of a signature.
I also tried adding a signature field, and clicked on it to add a signature. But once the signature was added, the Button was disabled and I could not submit the form via the mailto: tag.
Is there a way to signa form with a self-signed signature, and email the entire PDF such that the recipient can see the signature, and that the data are no longer editable?
Wouldn't that just be ducky...?
Thanks again,
-David Bartholomew

Thanks for your comment. I suppose I need to add a context to my intended usage to explain why I want what I described. I want the signature to be apparent so users can see that a submission was signed. These forms that I am considering will replace a paper form used internally within my organization, to request a time card change. They only need to be signed as a pro-forma requirement.
If the electronic forms solution is approved by management, I will make a case that since the network is a closed intranet, there is little consequential likelihood that a fellow employee would forge another's time card change request. And since the new form would be submitted through email, there is a further validation that the email will identify the sender's email address. This proposed electronic submission method is certainly as valid as forms where users cut and paste an image of their signature in a document...
The good news is that since I asked this question, I discovered the samples that came with LCD 8...
An example can be found in the Live Cycle Interactive Purchase Order sample found at [installdir]\EN\Samples\Purchase Order\Interactive.
The interactive Purchase Order sample shows how a collection of fields can be defined and then the signature applied only to the data in the collection. The email button is defined as not included in the collection. This way the signature field can be used, and once the document is signed, the email button remains enabled.
The interactive purchase order sample also demonstrates how a drop down list can be populated by a JavaScript as well as some array handling syntax that I've been looking for.
I recommend the samples to anyone who, like me, may not have been aware of their relevance.
Thanks again, this forum is a great resource.

Need help creating a simple form in Dreamweaver CS3!!

I'm trying to create a form in Dreamweaver CS3, and while I have the form built I'm confused as to how to make it actually function. What I'm trying to do is create a form that when the visitor clicks submit, the data is emailed to me. Can someone help me figure out how to accomplish this?
Thanks so much!

Ute's answer is spot on - you need a FormMail script to process the form. Check with your host (or via the control panel) and see if they supply such a form for free.
If not, google for "formail script' and you'll find quite a few available - all free to use.
You just need to add a couple of lines to your html code, change a few things in the formmail script and the form will process. Sounds complicated but most scripts come with a help file to help you get off the ground.

Dreamweaver CS4 html email absolute paths help

Anyones help would be so great to this! I am going crazy.
I have read all posts I can find on creating HTML emails. I find that images in DreamWeaver need to have absolute paths. Ok, I will try to be as clear as possible.
I created the page (email) in DreamWeaver CS4. I connected to my server fine to get access to my images. I also uploaded the index.html file in the server file with the images.
I used Cyberduck to upload the images to my server once I created an FTP Account. Creating the account gave me:
Manual Settings
FTP Username: [email protected]
FTP Server: ftp.toledocitypaper.com
FTP Server Port: 21
SFTP Server Port: 22
Within Cyberduck it explains:
ftp:toledocitypaper.com
ftp://[email protected]@ftp.toledocitypaper.com//[email protected]@ftp.toledocitypaper.com
Here I find one issue: I created a folder called citytest with my images and when I click Open URL the page opens blank. Here is the URL it generates:
http://ftp.toledocitypaper.com/citytest/ADAMSNEWScitcroppedy_01.jpg
Now I need to generate absolute paths for the images in DreamWeaver. I would think you need to put the http address in the SRC field? Now with files located and dragged and dropped on my page I get a input such as ../Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/en_US/Configuration/ServerConnections/Unnamed Site 5/citytest/ADAMSNEWScitcroppedy_15.jpg
Can anyone explain how I can make an absolute path for these images? everything I have enetered for the SRC image doesn't work. I get an image with a broken link when I enter any info I have found.
I also prievewed the html file in Safari and it looks fine with images dragged from server Local files in DW. I click Mail Contest of this page then it shows up in my Mac email as outgoing image. Looks fine for a second then all images turn to Missing Plug-in. The images I tried to enter a URL for in the SRC show up as little blue boxes with question marks.
I have a feeling I need a working URL to these images and I have no idea what this is. If this helps we use Gator Host.

If you have uploaded your citytest folder with images to the root folder on the server,
the proper link would be http://toledocitypaper.com/citytest/ADAMSNEWScitcroppedy_15.jpg

Hi chuck,
If you ave created the form and then filling it yourself and saving the form, the filled data should be there when you reopen the same form.
Can you please send the form to me at [email protected] so that I can have a look.
