DWCS4, form

I have a simple formmail form using a cgi script. Works fine, with one minor problem...
All my pages have simple "wrapper" to contain content in the center (790px wide). In all browsers I tried (IE, safari, opera) except Firefox 3.0, all of my pages retain their correct centered position when I navigate. However, in Firefox, my "contact" page (the one with the formmail form) wrapper content is always about 10px off center. When I navigate to any of the other pages, they are centered correctly and the same. It's only when I navigate to my "contact" page that I can see the difference.
Is there some Firefox default setting I missed or does Firefox render pages with forms on them in a different way from the other browsers?

Joel:
Thanks for the reply, but I'll check some other resources. The last time I posted a URL on an Adobe forum, the search engines picked up the posting, and now the "problem" I identified in the post shows up as much in searches as the actual website! That's a problem I don't need again.
Thanks anyway,
Tom

Form Mail CGI

I have applications on two sites where I use a form mail CGI-bin script to allow a user to enter contact information and send. It works great, but I'm wondering if there's any easier method than what I'm currently doing. I now direct the form info e-mail to my domain server, and then forward it from there to a private e-mail address.
With CGI form mail, is it possible to simply direct the form data to a private e-mail address, or does it need to go to the domain server first?
Tom

Hi KB:
I'm not an expert by any measure, but here's how it works for me:
     1. You'll need a folder on your site root. Mine is calle "cgi-bin". In that folder, there should be several files that are provided by your host. In my case, there are four files in it. That folder needs to be on your local drive and on your host server in your website's root folder.
     2. In your code view (or split view), you'll need to insert these three lines of code, filled in with your information (I've indicated data you'll need to fill in for your site in bold italic). Once completed, these three lines of code should be inserted directly below the line that contains the code with your
Make sure you don't lose the " marks when you edit in your info.
Assuming you are using the DWCS4 "form" function and all the other form fields are filled in, you'll need to be sure your "ACTION" field on the form is as follows:   http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-sys/formmail.cgi
Finally, I've found that, at least with my hosts, I have to direct the form data to my domain e-mail address initially. If I want to redirect it from there to my "private" e-mail address (e.g., yahoo, gmail, live.net, other), I have to set up an auto-forward of the domain e-mail to my private e-mail address using the host's C-panel function. I tried just specifying my private e-mail and I got an error message that my private mail address could not be found on the server. I think that if you want form data forwarded directly to a private e-mail address without first having to go through your host server, you'll probably need to use a PHP script -- which is even more "fun" than CGI.
Hope this helps.

Tom

Form created in DWCS4 , PHP issues

Hi
I have followed an online CS4 tutorial on how to create a contact form with validation.
Can someone with experience of PHP have a quick look for me, when you click submit the PHP code appears in the browser !?! rather than dealing with the information.
It is probably a simple error on my part, I have looked at some more tut's on-line and PHP books, but can't see what is wrong.

Many thanks

Hi PZ
I have run PHP scripts on the same hosting before, I am not sure what version - but have asked my ISP to let me know

Error Message from DWCS4: Error in line 27 of form.js.php

Hi
I did a seach of the forum for this and came up blank, so here goes although I am sure I am not alone with this one...
This week I installed CS4 and get an error reported whenever I open up an ADDT Dynamic Form:
"There is a syntax error on line 27 of form.js.php. Code hinting may not work until you fix this error."
The line in question is:
NXT_Messages['are_you_sure_move'] = '';
Anyone else seen this ?
Should I be concerned ?
Thanks.

Hi Wollombi,
I´ve seen this too with DW CS4, but in fact there´s nothing to "fix" because it´s the same code which was used by ADDT 1.0.0.
I just guess that the DW CS4 parser stumbles across the nested apostrophes which don´t seem to produce PHP errors in the browser.
Should I be concerned ?
I´ve always ignored this message because the forms work when opened in a browser

Table Cells Exploding in DWCS4

I didn't want to have to start another thread, as this stuff
gets embarrassing. But it looks like I'm at the end of my rope on
yet another issue, and really could use some help.
I have been working on cleaning up and converting an older
GoLive website to Dreamweaver. I've had several hurdles I've had to
come over, but today it looked like I was getting close to
finishing up, and promised the client I would provide the converted
files on Monday. Then something else started happening.
I was replacing several GoLive Components on each page with
the DW Library Items I had built. Things seemed to be going well,
then all of a sudden the Library items began causing the table
cells to explode and go clear across the page to who knows where. I
have been trying everything I know to fix them, but it seems to be
a losing battle.
What's interesting is that when I view the pages in GoLive or
a web browser, they are normal. It's only while working on them in
Design View with DWCS3 and DWCS4 that these table cells are
exploding to the right like this.

Making a single fix to the page (my recommended FILE |
Convert > XHTML 1.0
Transitional) will whack most of those right out....
Those errors are all just reflective of a mismatch between
the tag syntax
and the doctype. Make sure your page uses a doctype that is
consistent with
your coding ability - XHTML may not be the right choice for
you in this
case. Perhaps HTML4.01 Transitional would be a better one....

Xml forms

I also posted this question in the spry forum, I didn't know which would be the best place
I recently was "volunteered" to build a new website for a local non-profit organization. I am fairly descent at building static sites(but brand new to dynamic), and I have run into an issue with a form area on the site. They have 3 training signup pages that are quite lengthy, and need updated regularly. The folks there are not exactly computer-savy so I am worried about them going into Dreamweaver and messing stuff up. I am trying to find a way to give them an easy way to update the form as necessary and save them the expense of hiring someone to update the list as needed. I have been doing some research on xml and spry to see if this would apply to forms. Can xml populate a form, with all needed checkboxes, and other info needed? The current site is build in html, with php form-to-mail attributes.
Ideally I would want the form to auto-delete training dates that have already passed, add an easy admin function to add new content via xml, and retain the form to mail function. Here is the address of the page as it is right now: http://www.clickhappytesting.com/wcrTraining.html . Currently there are only like 20 or so items on the form, but there are usually like 100 per form.
I am using DWcs4 so any help, or direction to where I could find help, or even an extension that would work would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank You,
Shawn Lloyd

Hi Naresh,
You will need KM to use the XML forms. I strongly doubt that there is anyway around this as the XML forms are bound closely with KM. An alternative to using XML forms could be to create a URL iView that points to a webpage that you can easily administer using a HTML editor.
Hope it helps.

Error when starting Adobe Form

I have an Adobe Form which works Ok in the development SAP Portal, but that, when I log in the production portal gives the following error:
Error when reinitializing the form (I guess, it's Error al reinicializar el formulario, in Spanish)
I think maybe there is something missing to transport, or some misconfiguration, but I haven't been able so far to find it...
Can someone give me a hand?
Thank you in advance,
S.

Hi,
Can you tell me when does the error message comes? Does it comes when you are trying to open the Form or when you are trying to execute it.
Please check if it is still working in the development box?

Data blocks in forms 6i, can not see the data

i have built an application in forms with some data blocks. the blocks a connect to some tables in the db. i have built them connectd as "system". but when i run the applicatio as user x i can do select, insert, update, delete, but i can not se the records in the datablocks (they are empty), but i can do all transactios. why?

First of all, developing from the System schema is not a good idea.
Who owns the tables your form is connecting to? The table owner should create a public synonym for each table name, and also needs to grant user x access to the table.

Not null and enable or disable column in tabular form

Hi,
Using apex version 4.1 and working on tabular form.
ACT_COA_SEGMENT_MAS is Master table
and
ACT_SEGMENT_VALUES_MAS is detail table
I have entered 8 rows in master table and PARENT_SEGMENT_ID is column in master table which is null able. If i specified PARENT_SEGMENT_ID with value in master table then in detail table there is column PARENT_ID that should not be null and enable.
How i can enable or disable column when in master table PARENT_SEGMENT_ID column is null then in detail table PARENT_ID column should disable and vice versa.
I have created tabular form on Detail table. before insert into the tabular form Check in master table in first entry if PARENT_SEGMENT_ID is not null in first row of master table then in tabular form PARENT_ID should enable and not null able in corresponding to this first row id's lines in tabular form.
Same should check for second row in master table if PARENT_SEGMENT_ID is not null then entered rows with PARENT_ID into tabular form corresponding to 2nd id in master table should not nullable and column should enable in tabular form.
Thanks & Regards
Vedant
Edited by: Vedant on Jan 9, 2013 9:12 PM

Vedant,
You need to create you own manual tabular form and not use the wizard.
Using APEX_ITEM api you should be build you own form and you will be able to control how you wan to display the rows. (See Link [Apex Item Help|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_item.htm#CACEEEJE] )
select case when PRIMARY_TABLE_COLUMN is null then APEX_ITEM.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE(3 , DETAIL_COLUMN ) else APEX_ITEM.TEXT(2,detail_column) end "ALIAS" from detail table
Hope that help.

Form feed, null and StringTokenizer

is form feed recognized as null when using the StringTokenizer?
i currently have my StringTokenizer set with a blank space and i am attempting to read until the value is (EOF) null and while it hasMoreTokens. the text file that i am reading from spans across several pages. my code falls out of my loop when it hits the last space on my first page.

a form feed (\f) is not a null but that shouldn't be stopping the StringTokenizer, I suspect that the manner in which you're reading in the data may be the culprit. Try to use the BufferedReader class to read your file.

Contact form check boxes will not work on a Tablet

Hi there,
I created a website (Desktop) and a mobile version (Phone). I did not create one for a tablet but have relied on the Desktop version if someone views it on a Tablet.
Here's the thing, I created a contact form with checkboxes. It works great on a desktop (because people check the boxes with their mouse), however, it doesn't work on a Tablet, when you try and check the boxes with your finger.
Help!

Please share the site URL.
