Creating simple HTML forms

I am currently engaged in applying a new design to a customers SAP driven website.
I have successfully used the theme designer and edited master pages to apply the deisgn and have created some static pages with static information.
The problem I now face is that I need to create some additional pages like a contact forms, brochure request etc... Is there a facility for creating this type of interactive page (where the contents of a simple form is emailed to the site owners) or do I need to create it myself form scratch and provide a link?
Should I create a plugin and if so, how do I then link this to a static page. If I just want to create a dynamic page (I.E. wihout assigning it to a slot) how is this achieved ?
I hope this all makes sense. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Thank again for your help.
I think perhaps I am asking the wrong question.
If you are able to take a quick look at [http://www.atpgifts.co.uk/]. The homepage is great. It has the categories down the left, the search bit etc... what I need is for the contact us link to go to a separate page (currently it is a static page) that looks exactly like the homepage and has the same dynamic content on the left hand side but has the web form control in the content. Is this possible. Which page should I copy and edit? Can I add the webform control to the static page or must I create a new dynamic aspx page ?
If I am not making sense, please let me know. I don't usualy develop in this way. Normally we develop application from scratch so this type of thing would be trivial !!
Thanks again

Reports 6i -- How to create an HTML form template before form processing

Hello Oracle Reports Gurus,
I'm using Oracle Reports 6i and trying to create an HTML form WITHOUT using the Oracle Reports 6i parameter form builder. The goal: to take a web page already in existence containing a form with checkboxes and radio buttons and make it 'transparent' to my users in hooking it to Oracle Reports. So far, I made my HTML page (with form and all) a "header" file for my Oracle report and didn't place anything in the parameter form builder. However, upon doing so, Reports 6i decided to be extra helpful and place form elements into the Parameter form builder.
So,
1) Is there a way to take a web page with a form and all and easily "plug it" into Oracle Reports 6i WITHOUT using the Parameter Form builder?
2) Is there another way to create an HTML form that will allow me to have radio buttons, checkboxes, etc?
Thanks in advance from this Oracle Reports newbie,

lee,
i am not exactly sure what you are trying to do. since you state you use HTML, i assume you are running 3-tier with the report server, right ?
if so, the easiest way to hook your parameter form up to your report is to just pass the URL to the report as the action URL for your form.
in 9i/10g we provide the Reports Web source, which is based on JSP and allows you to paste HTML into your report to create a highly customized HTML parameter form.
i am afraid in 6i, we don't provide a way to actually combine your HTML form ito the report. it needs to stay separate, but can link to the report using the way i described above.
thanks,
ph.

Is there a way to create reusable HTML Forms that can be used on multiple pages?

I'm trying to understand the recommended approach to managing 10 HTML forms that will be reused on many different pages. I want to be able to modify the form definition once and have the change propogate.

Is your requirement that authors be able to change the form definition, or should form definition be controlled by developers?
In the case of authors being able to change the form definition then I would say best practice would be to create a page that holds the form definition (using whatever components work for you - either the out of the box form components or something custom). Then use the reference component to point the definition in all the other locations you want the form to appear. One thing to note is if you are using dispatcher for caching you need to make sure you strategy for cache flushing accomadates this approach.
In the case of developers controlling the form definition you could crate a component for each form, and then simly drag that component onto the pages that require the form. In this case your would control all the form label and description elements in the localization file.

Creating dynamic html forms

Hi,
We have a requirement to create a number of html forms where the fields displayed on the form could change based on the date a user requests the form.
The technology stack we are using is jsp,struts, adf bc, although we may use jsf , adf bc.
The only way I can see of doing this(assuming we get the database design correct) is to generate the required xml from the database and then transform this into html on the fly? This would obviosuly not be compatable with the ADF binding feature though.
Has anyone done this, and/or found a way to make it work using ADF.
Thanks,
Richard

I guess I could also just dynamically build up the from fields directly in the jsp.
I guess I would just loop throught the meta data on the forms from the database,
and then just write out the number and type of form elements required.
This would still not make use of adf binding though.

Creating simple HTML based email shots

I want to be able to promote my company to my customers by email in much the same way as Apple communicates with me (What's in store? for example).
I have tried using stationary, dreamweaver etc but am getting nowhere fast!
Not a seasoned pro on Macs (but love them) so please someone, explain it in a way that I can understand!?
Thanks

You can't do complex HTML within Mail such as tables, etc. You can do some basic HTML though. You can format text, insert images, etc.
If that means your needs then try that. If you need something a little more robust, then you have a couple of options. You could create an HTML page in an HTML editor program and save to a file. Open this HTML in Safari and then choose File -> Send Page Via Email. This will create an email with that web page as the body.
Another option is to create your newsletter in whichever program you like (Word, Pages, etc) and then save the document as a PDF file and send that file as an attachment to your email.
One thing to be careful with is that each email client handles emails (especially HTML emails) differently. There's no real way to guarantee that the email will display correctly on the receipients computer. The best way to ensure a correct viewing is to make the newsletter a PDF document.
Hope this helps.

Create simple database form in APEX

I'm trying to create a simple form off of a database table or query.
After going through the wizard, the form does not bring back any data.
I see it created a process Before Header: Fetch Row from table_name, but that doesnt' seem to be happening.
Is there something that has to be set to activate the form to actually query?
Thank you.

Hi,
In the form page's "Fetch Row..." and "Process Row..." processes, you can specify two key fields (one "primary" and one "secondary"). As long as the fields you are referencing are a unique combination, this should work ok. Though, ideally, you should create a primary key on all tables.
In both processes, make sure you complete the "...Secondary Key...." settings with the appropriate page item names and table column names. Your form page should also have two "hidden and protected" page items - one for each of the keys - the link from your report should populate both of these.

Creating an HTML Form - Fieldset and Legend problem.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to build an HTML/CSS form from scratch.
However, I want to bring the legend within the fieldset rather then the legend sitting on the fieldset.
To get this done, I gave the fieldset a top padding and the legend an absolute position. However the fieldset appeared to have a break as indicated in the red circle of the below image. How can I close or prevent this gap/break?
Here is the complete code.
<style type="text/css">
form{
     margin: 0;
     padding: 0;
     font-family: "Century Gothic";
     font-weight: bold;
     font-size: 16px;
legend span{
     position: absolute;
     top: 30px;
fieldset{
     background-color: #EAEAEA;
     padding-top: 60px;
div{
     width: 100%;
     margin: 0 0 5px 0;
     padding: 0;
label {
     float: left;
     width: 160px;
     margin-right: 16px;
     text-align: right;
     margin-top: 5px;
.UserFirstNameField, .UserLastNameField, .UserEmailField, .UserPhoneNumberField{
     width: 200px;
     padding: 4px;
     font-family: "Century Gothic";
     font-weight: bold;
     font-size: 16px;
     color: #F90;
     background-image: url(DFormsImages/Form-Fields-Background-Image.png);
     background-repeat: repeat-x;
     background-position: left center;
     border: 1px solid #D5D5D5;
</style>

</head>
<body>
<form id="BasicForm" class="BasicFormTemplate" method="post" action="">
<fieldset>
<legend><span>Personal Information</span></legend>
<div>
<label for="UserFirstName">First Name:</label>
<input id="FirstNameInput" name="UserFirstName" class="UserFirstNameField" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="UserLastName">Last Name:</label>
<input id="LastNameInput" name="LastName" class="UserLastNameField" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="UserEmail">Email:</label>
<input id="UserEmailInput" name="UserEmail" class="UserEmailField" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="UserPhoneNumber">Phone Number:</label>
<input id="UserPhoneNumberInput" name="UserPhoneNumber" class="UserPhoneNumberField" type="text" />
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Thanks everyone!

Good day Murray,
What I did was give the legend a zero padding.
legend{ padding: 0; }
and the gap was removed.
I tested in IE7, Firefox 3.6.6, Safari 5.0 and Opera 10.60 and it works very well.
I have not tested it in IE 6.
However, I also used the method from the article you provided, it also works well and I will also use that as an alternative when needed for another fix.
Thanks for your valuable help as always.

Creating dynamic HTML form from XML data in session

I'm a bit new to servlets, please bear with me if I don't make myself clear.
currently i have a HttpServlet that extracts a XML document into a jdom Document.
this is done within the doGet() method as the XML document is in the session object.
i would like to create a popup window (a JSP or servlet) that can access the same session, convert some of the data in the XML to a submit form that users can put input into, and have the JSP(or maybe servlet) send the form data and the XML back to the original HttpServlet (through the session object).
i have a few questions on how to make this happen:
1.how to create a popup window (JSP or servlet) in a servlet, and forward the session data as well?
2.if the popup window has a submit form that submits some extra data back to the original httpservlet, will the XML document still be retained in the session?
and any advise on how to go about this problem is highly appreciated!

Hi,
This is my first time posting a reply. Hope this helps.
I am assuming that you are hitting the servlet from a link. This is one way of doing it. You can create a new window using Javascript. like this.
<script language="javascript">
var popupWin
function openWindow(page){
popupWin=window.open(page,"","width=800,height=600,resizable,scrollbars");
</script>
link
The response of your servlet will be in the new pop-up window.
2.if the popup window has a submit form that submits
some extra data back to the original httpservlet,
will the XML document still be retained in the
session?The session should be retained as long as you are hitting the same servlet container . You should be able to access the seesion variable in the original servlet if the form in the pop-up window calls the original servlet.

Create HTML Form from PDF Form

Does anyone know of a quick way to create an HTML Form from an existing PDF Form?
Thanks everyone!
mars

From ID you can export to XHTML which is indeed consumed by DW but not via Acrobat...
So, can I import a PDF form into ID?
When I meant was - InDesign can export to XHTML
Acrobat cannot
Indeed, it would be great if forms could be created as ID objects and then exported to a PDF form but not yet (all fingers and toes crossed for CS5/CS6)
Cheers,

URGENT-CREATE A HTML FILE WITH AN STRING INPUT FROM THE RUNNING JSP

I am designing a web page where the user enters a page after entering his/her login and password.The User should now be provided with a display page containing the servers that he has permissions for access.The servers that he has permissions are maintained in a database(a normal text file in UNIX).
Till now the program has been complete for displaying the servers that are available to him.
I need to create a HTML form containing these servers names in a check box so that when the user clicks thcheck box against the server name it should go to the server and get the password for the required server.
THe intention from me is to create a HTML file that dynamically takes values from the running JSP means the server names as a string value to its input and then i can continue
Please guide me in creating a HTML form based on the string output from the running JSP
FileInputStream fs = new FileInputStream("/root/Auth_Application/User_Access_List");
DataInputStream in1 = new DataInputStream(fs);
int fl=0;
while (in1.available() !=0)
String str1=in1.readLine();
StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(str1);
String usernam=st1.nextToken();
if (usernam.equals(uname))
String ip=st1.nextToken();
String host=st1.nextToken();
fl=1;
out.println("<tr><td>                                                                                              "+ host + "</td><td> " + ip +"</td></tr>");
if (fl == 0)
out.println("YOU HAVE NO SEVRER IN YOUR PROFILE !");
in1.close();
The host string here is the server name
the ip is the ip address of the server
Need to input these values to another HTML page that contains the check box list of the servers .
once these are clicked i think i can pass on this to another JSP and retreive passwords
Please guide me in this

FileInputStream fs = new FileInputStream("/root/Auth_Application/User_Access_List");
                                DataInputStream in1 = new DataInputStream(fs);
                                int fl=0;
                                while (in1.available() !=0)
                                String str1=in1.readLine();
                                StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(str1);
                                String usernam=st1.nextToken();
                                if (usernam.equals(uname))
                                String ip=st1.nextToken();
                                String host=st1.nextToken();
                                fl=1;
                                out.println("<tr><td>                                                                                              "+ host + "</td><td>          " + ip +"</td></tr>");
                                if (fl == 0)
                                out.println("YOU HAVE NO SERVER IN YOUR PROFILE !");
                                in1.close();I feel sorry for the inconvenience that is caused as i am new to using these forums.
I have here used a simple program to retreive the names of the servers that the users have acess to..
I have here read the servername and server ip stored from a file in UNIX in the running JSP.Now i need to pass these string variables to HTML file and display it in a Check box format.the strings host and ip have to be passed to the input of the HTML file so that they can further be processed once they are clicked using another JSP.
Can anybody please help me in Passing these strings from the running JSP and display it in a check box format

Thanks to anyone, who can help me.

Does it support PHP? If so:
http://www.avenuedesigners.com/blog/articles.php?ref=30
If not, what type of SSS (server-side scripting is available
to you)? If
none, you're then stuck using the infamous "mailto," which
isn't good:
http://www.apptools.com/rants/mailto.php
That, or using a third-party company to handle your forms.
Let us know.

Re-build HTML Form in Flash?

Hi
Wonder if someone can help. Please excuse my incompetence, I am fairly new to Flash / Actionscript
Basically I am trying to re-build this simple HTML form in Flash, I have not shown the actual URL here, but this is a functioning form when the correct URL is in place:
<form action="http://www.customersURLhere/" method="post">
<input type="text" name="vrm"/>
<input type="submit" value="go"/>
<input type="hidden" name="update" value="false"/>
<input type="hidden" name="source" value="aexp"/>
<input type="hidden" name="supplier" value="AEMP" />
</form>
I have attempted to re-build this in flash. I have 1 text input field which I have set the variable name to 'vrm' to match the input field above. I then created a basic flash button and set the following action:
on (release) {update = "false";source = "aexp";
supplier = "AEMP";
getURL ("http://www.customersURLhere", "", "POST");
Can anyone spot any obvious errors???
Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately I am still struggling to get this to work.
I have applied your script to the button, is that correct? (The button is on it's own layer and has one keyframe at the start or the movie.)
Do I need to label/name the button 'submitBtn' in some way?
You added a comment '//do whatever'... do I need to add something here?
Sorry, I'm a complete novice!!
