Creating forms in iWeb

Hi!
I have a business and want to sell products on my website. Does anybody know if I can create forms in iWeb09? For instance, I have a product that you click on and 1 item of it goes to the check in account. Like it works on Apples website when you buy stuff.
Thanks!
/Chris

I have used the following code in an HTML snippit on my website. In iWeb, it looks and functions perfectly. In Safari, same thing. I Firefox and Explorer the "Submit Form" and "Reset Form" buttons disappear. Any thoughts or suggestions? You can see the live page at http://www.daylightmedia.org and click the "Contact" link.

Creating forms for Iweb sites

MY question is about creating forms for iweb sites.
How do you do it?
I think I read somewere that you can't do this with iweb,
so I downloaded a free trial of rapidweaver, which will give me 3 pages for
the free trial, but it says you need php.
Which I don't know if I have php on my computer, my mac5 os x,
and I am not sure what php is.
If any one could explain how I can create forms on my iweb site
in a easy to understand point form.
That would be great!

Well I am certainly willing to try, if you could
explain how to do this
Thanks for your reply.
blueform,
If you found my first post to you helpful, please mark it as such. That way people will have an easier time searching for/with a similar question about this topic.
Okay, I can't go into all the dynamics of the process as each ISP may vary enough to make my description unusable. In other words, what works with my ISP may not work with yours. You'll need to check out your ISPes position and requirements as far as this goes.
The first and most important thing to check out is does your ISP allow you to use CGI scripting such as PERL or PHP. Many small locally based ISPes allow this feature. Some large ISPes in Canada such as Bell's Sympatico give you Web space but do not allow scripting.
Next, unless you are an accomplished programmer you need to find (ideally) a free script that allows you to e-mail a form. I generally recommend something from Matt's Script Archive The scripts are are simple, come with instructions and work fairly well. There is also PHP Junkyard. I use one of their scripts for a message board I have.
Be forewarned, there is a learning curve. Also, if your ISP permits these scripts, you will need an FTP client application to upload them once you have made any necessary modifications.
As an afterthought, you might Google around and see if anyone provides a service that might suit your needs. Usually in those cases all you need to do is enter some HTML code into your iWeb page. This is not a drag-n-drop process and requires some "under the hood" work. One last point. Most of the scripts that I've dealt with will require an e-mail address to send the completed forms. If all is done according to instructions, Spammers will never see the address (you set the permissions for the file that contains your e-mail address so that only the owner can read that particular file; the owner being you). Does this give you an idea of what is involved?

Can I create a sign-in 'form' in iWeb?

Can I create a simple 'form' in iWeb that allows visitors to 'sign in' or leave 'e-mail addresses' (that automatically get sent to my e-mail address)? No passwords or anything complicated.
Ben

No problem...
First, set up a free account at http://freedback.com/
Design a form on their site and select/copy the code they give you.
In your iWeb page, type something like FORMCODE where you want the form to go.
Open TextEdit - free text editor that comes with every mac.
To view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the .html file and click Open.
(If you publish to your .Mac, mount your iDisk to find it. It will be located at iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/Sitename/Pagename.html)
Find your text, FORMCODE, and replace it with the code you get from Freedback. Save your work.
Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes all over again!
You could set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt (http://www.hexmonkey.brownhost.com/). It's a useful and FREE little program that makes all this post-publish editing MUCH easier and faster.

You must be able to create a form in iWeb!!!!

I can't believe you can't make a form in iweb. someone must know a way around it. If someone knows the secret then please shed light.
Thanks

newmanr,

Inserting Forms into iWeb

Is there a way of inserting fill-in forms eg application forms into iWeb ?
Or, can someone give me a solution for producing an application form, apart from having a pdf form to download ?
Thanks
Anton

Yes. There are a couple of ways. 1 - use a 3rd party site like Wufoo to create the form and embed it into your iWeb page using the code from Wufoo and an HTML snippet. 2 - use Form Action code.
The following demo page shows each method and the code used: Embedding Forms & Encoding Email Addresses.

Error while Creating form on remote Database

Hi All
I m getting error while creating form on remote database thru
Database link
Line/Column Error
7099/21 PLS-00454: with a returning into clause, the table
expression cannot be remote or a subquery
7099/9 PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored

RETURNING ROWID INTO "_ROWID";
This returning clause is causing error. Does anybody knows how

Thanks

I haven't seen the ora-03116 problem.
What version of Portal are you running? Are the databases at the same version? Does your table have longs or anything strange in it?
Can you query the table via the synonyms and link in sqlplus as the application schema? This is a good test because it eliminates Portal.
You should try setting up synonyms etc for the emp table. If you still get the problem then Oracle may be able to replicate it. If not, then there's sth funny about your table maybe.
I agree with Vishnu about creating everything in sqlplus. I create all my links and synonyms in sqlplus. They are all public. I have 2 synonyms: one takes you over the link the other takes you to the right schema. It's flexible and it works.
data database: D grants to P (local schema) on table T
public syn T = D.T (sys) (get the right schema)
portal dbase : public db link to data database connecting as P
public syn T = T@dblink (sys) (over the link)
P is a schema created in both databases.
Test is: P in portal dbase can "select * from T" and gets the right data.
I never, ever refer to a schema when defining a form. ie. never P.T or D.T or whatever. I always refer simply to a synonym. For the above my form would be defined simply on the table T.
Hope this helps

Created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, it comes up on each page as a small black dot. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show?

I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

How to override the create method invoked by a create form?

Hello everyone, I'm using ADF Faces and have the next question:
How can I override the create method which is invoked by a create form to preset an attribute in the new row (the preset value is not fixed, I have to send it to the method as a parameter as it is obtained using an EL expression)?
In the ADF guide I read how to override a declarative method (Section 17.5.1 How to override a declarative method), but this explains how to do it with a method that is called by a button. I don't know how to do the same with a method which is called automatically when the page is loaded.
I also tried overriding the view object's createRow() method to receive a parameter with the preset values but it didn't work, I believe that was because the declarative create method is not the same as the view object's createRow. This caused the form to display another row from the viewobject and not the newly created one (I also set the new row into STATUS_INITIALIZED after setting the attribute).
Well, I hope my problem is clear enough for somebody to help me.
Thank you!

Hello,
I'm not sure you can do it with standard generated Create Form.
In your view object you'll need to create your own create method with parameters, publish it to client interface and invoke instead of standard generated create action in page definition.

Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

Yes but you will have to create some custom JavaScript to do this.
Also you should be aware that the "Required" property is only processed when the form is submitted to a scripted web page or "mailto:" process.

Select the fields with the mouse, right-click one of them, go to Properties
and set the settings you'd like them all to have.

Getting error while creating form and report on webservice: ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.

i am using the following description to create a web service reference:
web reference :REST
Name :Yahoo Map
URL :http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/mapImage
HTTP Method: GET
Basic Authentication: No
Add Parameter:
Name       Type
appid        String
location    String
Output Format: XML
XPath to Output Parameters : /Result
Output Parameter:
Name       Path       Type
Url          /text()      String
Then i tried to create form and report on webservice:
Web Service Reference Type: Yahoo Map
Operation: doREST
All the fields i keep as default
I tick the checkbox (url)in report Parameter
After clicking next whereever required i click create button
I get the following error
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
Please someone help to solve this as i need to fix it urgently.

i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

Strange error while creating form/report pages [ORA-20001]

While creating two new pages with a form and report on it, I've got a strange error. I tried to create the pages several times, but I always got the same error:
ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-20001: Error creating shortcut id="" ORA-00001: unique constraint (FLOWS_030000.WWV_FLOW_SHORTCUT_IDX1) violated

I'm using the wizard to get the pages, like I did many times before (without problems), but this time it will not work!

Looks like there is a 127-column limit on the number of report columns supported when using that wizard. Do you have more than that?

I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.
