Destination for Forms contents
I am making a form for a website that will allow the user to send his/her email and comments to a nightclub managment so they can in turn send out information on parties to all who submit theyre emails. I was practicing the technique in a practice file. I was able to create the text fields as well as the submit button. My only issue and question is how do i set up the submit button properly so when the button is pressed the information is sent to a specific email address.
Ill include the code and css.

The form's action needs to point to a server side script that processes the form contents. For starters check with your host to see if they have a script that will work with your hosting plan. And please search this forum for 'form mail' for more details.

Can LC Designer produce a flat PDF, not form, as a template for dynamic content?
Can LiveCycle Designer produce a flat PDF, not form, as a template for dynamic content?
Yes that means LiveCycle Designer .....the XDP is an XML file that describes the template that you want. It is turned into a PDF by the Designer as well as the LC Server I mentioned. The Designer creates interactive content (not what you asked for), the server can do the same as well as flat PDFs. I mentioned the batch mode because that is how people generally use it or they use it for real time creation of the reports but it tends to be high volume (it is a server product so it will bepriced that way). You can create an XDP that has text and "floating fields" on it. Floating Fields are special in that you can merge data with the template and once the data is put into the field it is turned into text (non-interactive). This woudl be useful for testing (requires a hands on approach) but if there is any kind of volume that you are looking for this will not be useful. The server side can be automated so that no human intervention is required.

Form development & searching for the contents
Dear all,
In portal, I need a simple form to capture some information.
Eg Vehicle Number, driver name etc.
I also want to search on this form content.
What will be a good option instead of custom developments.
XML forms can be used but can't be searched.
Document template, Guided procedure are some other options.
Regards,Hi Subir,
If you need to capture some information (enter by a user, it is not read from a database for example) you can use form builder. It's very simple to do it. The result are xml files. Then you can create an index (index administration) to point to this repository. Don't forget to add this repository to xml filter, this is when you double click in xml file must be open using a xslt not open as a simple text file.
Guided procedure is thought for workflow process. You can create a input form (but using Adobe form, you must have licence for use it). Also, you can create a webdynpro application using SAP Developer Studio.
I think that the best option, obviously depend on your requirement is used form builder.

STRUTS - Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null -aaaarrrrgh
Hi Folks,
my head hurts and i become crazy... i know that a lot of people asked this question before, but i did not found any suitable solution.
I have simple a jsp page, containing a form which should be handled by struts. I tried everything, but i did not found my mistake.
Can anyone help me please?

</html:form>i tryed a lot for the FORM -Tag, for instance:

<html:form action="/checkLogin.do"> or
<html:form action="/checkLogin"> but all throws the same exception. :(

How can i send an auto reply with form content to sender?
Hai!
I'm new to website building, but i already came a long way
i made a form and i like to send a auto reply with the form content (if that isnt too difficult) to the person who filled it in.
The form i made is in PHP (coding i copied partly from someone from the internet .)
You can see the from at: http://vinddit.nl/vindditnu%20php%20version.php
My PHP coding so far
<?php
// Set email variables
$email_to = '[email protected]';

not really nessecary but whould be a nice jextra
You can but you would need to send it as an html email which is much more complicated.
What you would do is build a page/table construction like below. You would need to use the php variables to echo out the information in the <td></td> cells (example below).
$reply = $_POST['email'];
$from = '[email protected]';
$replysubject = "Auto-Reply: Website Name";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $from\r\nReply-to: $reply";

Please help me out. Thanks in advance :)
Thanks

Edited by: 889224 on Dec 6, 2011 7:32 AMI will assume you are using a non-IE browser (e.g. Firefox). Assuming this is true, the problem you are seeing is the result of the configuraiton expecting to find 1.6.0_12. Look in formsweb.cfg for references to 1.6.0_12 and change them to the desired version. For example, replace the current with these in order to use 1.6.0_29:

Workflow Status column for new content type
Hi,
Initially I had a document library and several workflows associated with it. After that I created a new content type inheriting Folder content type. My existing workflows could be started and work fine with any item of this new content type except anything
related to the workflow status column, such as "Automatically update workflow status to the current stage name", or workflow action "Set workflow status". If I use the OOTB Folder content type, everything's fine. But I need custom fields
for folder as well.
The workflows can be started then it seems unreasonable that they are not associated with the items of the new content type, considering I set my new content type to be the child of the existing Folder content type. So why any item under this new content
type does not have the workflow status column? I've tried removing the workflow from the list and publishing back using SPD without success.
I also notice that when you associate a new content type to a document library/list which has some custom columns, you cannot edit those columns to be used in the new content type. You need to delete those columns and recreate them, then the option "Add
to all content types" is there. Is this expected design?
ThanksHi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you created a custom Edit form for new content type.
We can do as follows:
1.Add the MyNameSpace.MyNewEditPage dll file into GAC(C:\Windows\assembly).
2. Execute the iisreset command.
We can create a new content type using visual studio 2012/2013.

Why is Muse not loading/showing contact form content correctly when I hit preview or publish?
This is my contact form in the design panel.
This is the preview and published end product.
I cannot figure out how to show the content boxes, and when I try to fill each section in to send a test email, It tells me there is an error with one of my answers.Hi thank you for your reply,
I managed to find a solution today.
I am new to web design,so I didn't realise that I wasn't using a 'web safe' font for the content boxes. As soon as I changed the font, my form loaded correctly and is now recieving test messages without a problem. -
How to display mutiple form contents on the same page
I have multiple forms for a same page,when i press submit in one form it has to go to next form,where both form contents should display on the same page.Can anyone post example code for this?
Thnx in advance.I have multiple forms for a same page,when i press
submit in one form it has to go to next form,where
both form contents should display on the same
page.Can anyone post example code for this?that's not how it works. when you press submit, the form data is submitted to the server. you can then forward the user to a page with another form, but what you're talking about doesn't make sense -
I have filled in a form in a PDF with acrobat X on a mac. Then I saved the PDF and mailed it. The reciever cant view the content. Neither can I on Acrobat X. Its is viewable on the application Preview on the Mac.
Is there a "save with formcontent" or something on Acrobat. I also saved it the form with Preview. same result. Form content not there in acrobat reader or pro x, but viewable and OK in Preview.
This is the link to the form:

BAPI call in java through jco destination defined in content Administration
Hi All,
Is it possible to use JCO destination defined in Content Administration to execute BAPI in a java DC class file rather than creating a jco client through code.
Any pointers for the same?
regards
Radhika KuthialaHi Radhika Kuthiala
It's possible. Use the code below:
JCO.Client client;
try {
client = JCO.getDestinationClient(rfcDestName);
client.connect();
} catch (JCO.Exception ex) {

Best Practises for using Content Types
We had third party vendor who migrated and re structured contents and sites in Sharepoint 2010. I noticed one unusual thing : In most cases they new separate site content types for every library in a site i.e. even if two libraries contain same set of metadata
columns they created separate site content types by duplicating it from the first one and gave it unique name and used in second library.
My point of view for content type is that they are used for re usability, i.e. if another library is needing same set of metadata columns then I would just reuse existing content type rather than creating another content type with different name by inheriting
it from the first one and having same set of columns.
When I asked vendor reason for this approach (for every library they created new content types and for libraries needing same set of meta data columns they just inherited from a custom site content type and created another duplicate one with same set of
meta data columns and gave it different name in most cases name of library ) they said they did that to classify documents which I did not agree with because by creating two document libraries classification is already done.
I need some expert advice on this, I will really appreciate: I understand content types are useful and they provide re usability but,
A) Do we need to create new site content types whenever we create new library ? (Even though we are not going to re use them)
B) What is best practice : if few libraries are needing same set of metadata columns
1) Create site a content type and reuse it in those libraries ? or
2) Create a site content type and create new content types by inheriting from site content type created at first and just give them different name even though all of them are having same set of columns ?
I need expert advice on this but following is my own opinion on this
I do not think point A) is a good practice and should not be used, we should create site content type only when we think it will be re used and we do not need to create site content type every time we create document library. Also I do not think point 2)
of B is a good practice as well
Dhaval RavalIt depends on the nature of the content types and the libraries. If the document types really are shared between document libraries then use the same ones. If the content types are distinct and non overlapping items that have different processes, rules or
uses then breaking them out into a separate content type is the way forward.
As an example for sharing content types: Teams A and B have different document libraries. Both fill in purchase orders, although they work on different projects. In this case they use the same form and sharing a content type is the no question approach.
As an example for different content types: A company has two arms, a consultancy where they send people out to client sites and a manufacturing team who build hardware. Both need to fill in timesheets but whilst the metadata fields on both are the same the
forms are different and/or are processed in a different manner.
You can make a case either way, i prefer to keep the content types simple and only expand out when there's a proven need and a user base with experience with them. It means that if you wanted to subdivide later you'd have more of a headache but that's a
risk I generally think works out. -
FM10/Acrobat X 10-use named destinations for PDF linking
My company wants our documentation to be accessible from a web page. No problem there. But they want to provide users with links that open the PDF files to a specific section.
My books are in FM10. I created hypertext named destinations (example hyperlink syntax: newlink alarm) at the points where they want to open the PDF. I then saved the book to PDF, with the Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs check box selected.
We are now trying to build a link from the web page to open the PDF at the named destination. Here is some info from the web developer on his syntax:
These zoom but do not position you to the named destination:
<a href="Documentation/IO.OS 2.1.3 Technical Overview.pdf#nameddest=alarm&zoom=40">Tech Doc</a>
<a href="Documentation/IO.OS 2.1.3 Technical Overview.pdf#alarm&zoom=40">Tech Doc</a>
This positions to the indicated page and zooms:
<a href="Documentation/IO.OS 2.1.3 Technical Overview.pdf#page=20&zoom=40">Tech Doc</a>
What are we doing wrong? I've been searching the forums and community help and we've tried all the syntax examples we can find. Thanks so much for any help you can provide!Hi Kim,
Our team recently found a way to put custom named destinations in our FrameMaker files that can be used for linking to specific places in the PDF output (with no strange alphanumeric codes added to the named destinations).
The named destinations are anchored in FM so they stay with whatever heading/text/graphic/etc they are "attached" to, even as content is added to/removed from the FM files.
Will the following work as part of the solution you're looking for? (We're also using FM10 and Acrobat X.)
In FM, insert a new text frame object.
Type the following code in the text frame: [/Dest /Help123/Dest pdfmark
where “Help123” is the name that will appear in the PDF for this named destination. This is name you would use in your hyperlinks. Our programmers use this name for the context-sensitive help links in the user interface.
Right-click on the text frame and select Object Properties. Click to select the PostScript Code check box, then click the Set button.
NOTE: Once the PostScript Code check box is selected, the text in the text frame cannot be edited. To edit the text in the text frame, you have to first turn off the PostScript Code option, edit the text, and then turn the PostScript Code option back on.
Select the text frame object, then cut and paste to create a new instance of it. This places the text frame inside an anchored frame.
You can now “attach” the anchored frame to whatever heading/figure/text/etc the named destination should link to.
Here's the catch. To get the named destination in the PDF output, you can’t use the “Save as PDF” command in FM – you must print to PDF instead:
In the FM file, click File >> Print Setup.
Select Adobe PDF in the Name drop-down list, then click the Properties button.
Deselect the Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts check box, then click OK.
Click OK.
Click File >> Print.
Select the Generate Acrobat Data check box.
Click the PDF Setup button to define bookmark links, print quality, etc, then click the Set button when done.
Click the Print button.
The generated PDF file should contain all the bookmarks you’ve defined as well as all the named destinations you added (with the exact names you specified).
Hope that helps. Thanks, and good luck,

How to reduce opacity for form only not for controls in c#?
I want to reduce opacity for form only. Not for controls. I reduced opacity for form, but the panel opacity also reduced. I don't want to reduce panel opacity. How to do this? Give me solution in c#.
I want to reduce opacity for form only. Not for controls. I reduced opacity for form, but the panel opacity also reduced. I don't want to reduce panel opacity. How to do this? Give me solution in c#.
How do you imagine this will work? You reduce the opacity of the container but not the contents. The user is left with no way of clearing the junk off the screen. Opacity is for Forms and Forms only for a reason.
You could use multiple forms, one without controlbox/icon/text/border whatever contained inside the other, but I expect that's not your goal. What is your goal?
You can also make use of Transparency using simple background color schemes, which works even in RTL layouts.
What is your goal again, apart from taking over the screen without the ability to close the window?
Would you like to know more?
