Email form with checkboxes

Hi All,
I have a form with checkboxes that I finally got to work
partially. However, there is one problem. If you forget to check
the checkbox, (Yes or No), you get the error Element is Undefined.
If you check the checkbox there is no problem and the form goes
through email. How can I correct the error if the checkboxes are
not checked. Any help would be appreciated,
Best,
Joy

Joy,
checkboxes do not pass a value unless they are checked.
You can do it two ways that I know.
One way is to set a default so the page does not error:
<!--- set default so page does not error --->
<cfparam name="FORM.myCheckbox" default="" type="any">
The other way is to see if it was checked and do something
then.
<!--- If the checkbox is checked do this --->
<cfif isDefined("FORM.myCheckbox")>
do something
<!--- If the checkbox is NOT checked do this --->
<!--- don't need this cfelse if you don't want to do
anything --->
<!--- if it is not checked --->
<cfelse>
do something else
</cfif>

  • How to submit a form with checkboxes in a page flow?

    I'm having some trouble with a form that contains several checkboxes, and
    how to submit this form within a page flow...
    I have a JSP page containing a form with N checkboxes. The value and
    checked/unchecked status of each checkbox is generated from parsing an XML
    document. Here is the (simplified) code:
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml" prefix="x" %>
    <netui:form action="doUpdate">
    <x:forEach select="...">
    <input type="checkbox" name="id"
    <x:if ...>checked</x:if> value="<x:out ... />">
    </x:forEach>
    <netui:anchor formSubmit="true" action="doUpdate">Submit</netui:anchor>
    <netui:anchor action="doCancel">Cancel</netui:anchor>
    </netui:form>
    When this form is submitted, the checkbox values are lost -- the following
    code (in the action) produces an empty array:
    String[] prefs = this.getRequest().getParameterValues("id");
    I looked at the <netui:checkbox> tag, but it does not appear to give me a
    way to set the state and value (unless I've missed something).
    Can I submit a form without using a form bean? If I do use a form bean, can
    I set the state and value from my JSP?
    Any suggestions on how to do this (or insights into what I'm doing wrong)
    are welcome...

    I am new to this, but I think this may solve your problem:
    I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can create a LinkedHashMap
    with the req key/value pairs in the page-calling action in the pageflow and then
    pass that via a getRequest().setAttribute("myCheckboxes",myCheckboxHashMap);
    You can then access it in code using the optionsDataSource portion of the netui:checkBoxGroup
    - ie
    <netui:checkBoxGroup dataSource="{actionForm.thisCheckbox}" optionsDataSource="{request.myCheckboxes}">
    Hope this helps!

  • Making email form with instructions in it?

    This might be a very basic question but I cant figure it out hehe ...I am trying to make an email form like on this site...
    http://www.timberline-resources.com/
    I know how to make the form but not with the "Enter Your Email".......I want to know how to do that...so that when you click in it it disappears...
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    T

    Your example site is all done with Flash which is not web-friendly. 
    My solution below uses a bit of JavaScript to clear the input field when clicked.  If nothing is typed in the field, the field value 'Enter Email To Get Updates' comes back.
    <input type="text" name="Your-field-name-here" onclick="this.value='';"  onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'Enter Email To Get Updates':this.value;"  value="Enter Email To Get Updates" />

  • Email form with php

    Hello,
    I have been reading that mailto: is outdated.  I have been reading on creating an email form using php.  I don't  understand.  Do you create a table first to put the info:
    First Name:
    Last Name:
    Email:
    Message:
    Submit button
    Does anyone know of a comprehensive article that I could read with maybe some examples or even tutorial.   This is my webstie www.ewrolexrepair.com.  This is my first website.  I am trying to put somekind of email contact next to my picture.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Below is a ready made php form including First Name, Last Name, Email and Message.
    The form is sent back to the page it is located on i.e. if the form is inserted into a page called 'contact.php' then the action form field would be as follows: <form id="enquiryForm" name="enquiryForm" method="post" action="contact.php">
    Change the below in the code to your email address (the one you want the info to be sent to):
    $to = "[email protected]"; //email address -- change to your own email address
    Change success.php below in the code to the page you want the user to go to after submitting the form.
    header("Location: success.php");
    //Redirect page -- change to your own page
    <!-- FORM CODE STARTS HERE -->
    <?php session_start(); ?>

    </form>
    By the way, the date boxes work so excuse the Javascript in there!
    To prevent SPAM I've used a trick where there's a hidden URL field which must be left blank for the form to submit which you can see in the PHP.
    Below is where I'm at with the PHP which is placed above the header of contact.php...
    <?php
    if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST)) {
        $position = $_POST['position'];
        $arrive = $_POST['arrive'];
        $nationality = $_POST['nationality'];
        $parttime = $_POST['parttime'];
        $depart = $_POST['depart'];
        $name = $_POST['name'];
        $email = $_POST['email'];
        $telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Recruitment Application";
    $message = $headers;
    $message .= "Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\r\n";
    $message .= "E-mail: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
    $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'From: My Website <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
    $message= "
    $url = stripslashes($_POST["url"]);
    if (!empty($url)) {
    header( 'Location: http://www.go-away-spam-robots.com' );
    exit();
    if (!isset($warning)) {
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    header( 'Location: http://www.mywebsite.co.uk/sent.php' );
    ?>
    I would like to make pretty much all the field compulsory so if a field is left empty (other than the hidden URL field), a warning message is displayed next to that field.
    Also I would like the file upload field to attach to the email that is sent to me and have the results come through to me in a table format.
    Can anyone help me get my form working?
    Thank you and I hope to hear from you!
    SM

    Hi Nancy,
    Great stuff, thank you for the reply.
    I've managed to get the Formm@iler working and running as I need it to.
    The only thing I'm struggling with is when the user clicks submit, they are taken to a page of whatever results the form returned but it is just a white background with Times New Roman text.
    How can I have it so the user is taken to the form results in the websites' page layout?
    I tried sending them to a generic 'thank you' page by adding the following code but it just took them there whatever the results of the form so that's no good...! I have a feeling it's a bit more complicated than that...
    header( 'Location: http://www.nofussbus.co.uk/test/sent.php' );
    Thank you for your help!

  • Need Help creating form with checkboxes

    I am using Acrobat Standar 9, and I am trying to create a form that has a bunch of checkboxes on it.  First off, the PDF that I am workin with (before I try to input form stuff) is a check list that has spots for marking (if it was printed out).  Acrobat will recognize all of those places as spots for a form tool, but it always inserts textboxes.  I want it to insert check boxes.  So far all I can do is delete all of the textboxes that were inserted and manually, one by one, insert check boxes in all of the locations.
    Is there a way to make the wizard input checkboxes instead of text boxes?  If not with the wizard, is there any way to do that?  (I am not familier with programming languages.. fyi)
    thanks

    Thanks for getting back to me. What I have is a pricing page. The feedback form is so we can see who views or is interested in services. We want only people who fill out this form to be able to view it. I have created simple contact forms that are sent to an email and directed to another page. The problem I am having is trying to figure a way to where hopefully if the same person comes back they won't have to fill out the form again. I know if they fill out the form and create a user name/login it could be a possible fix but I am trying to make it simple. I am just starting to learn PHP/XML (which I have copied from another sources) and haven't written my own. Maybe creating a cookie that is checked once the page is loaded? I have no idea how to do that either though... I am a front end "designer" and a lot of this is greek to me.

  • Using dynamic referencing in PDF Form with Checkboxes

    I have created a checklist that contains approx 60-70 steps. About 20 of them are to have a checkbox that fills an adjacent field with the date, and another with the user name. I have already got this functioning as a stand alone process.
    aaa = checkbox
    aaadate = field for date
    aaaname = field for name
    [code]
    function test() {
    var one = this.getField("aaa");
    var two = this.getField("aaadate");
    if (one.value == 'Yes') {
    if (two.value == "") {
         this.getField("aaadate").value = util.printd("dd-mmm-yy",new Date());
         this.getField("aaaname").value = identity.name;
    }} else if (one.value == 'Off') {
         this.getField("aaadate").value = "";
         this.getField("aaaname").value = "";
    [/code]
    I do not want to write a piece of code for each checkbox so I am trying to figure out how to use dynamic referencing so that when i check on a checkbox, the code takes the checked checkboxes' name (aaa) and is able to determine the two other fields name by appending/concatenating (name + "date"  = aaadate)
    I have tried various methods and done tremendous research; I'm not sure if I lack the knowledge to incorporate what I've found properly, if I just have been looking in the wrong places for the wrong things. It seems like this should be possible in a PDF form...
    Please help

    You need to inject the part of the field name that changes as a variable. So your code would be something like this:
    function test(base) {
        var one = this.getField(base);
        var two = this.getField(base+"date");
        if (one.value == 'Yes') {
            if (two.value == "") {
                this.getField(base+"date").value = util.printd("dd-mmm-yy",new Date());
                this.getField(base+"name").value = identity.name;
        } else if (one.value == 'Off') {
            this.getField(base+"date").value = "";
            this.getField(base+"name").value = "";
    And you would call it like so:
    test("aaa");
    test("bbb");
    etc.

  • Php email form with styling

    Hi
    I have a php file which generates an email from a form in a
    website I have designed. I just want to make some areas of the
    final generated email in bold text. I know if people have plain
    text only selected in their email client they won't see the bold
    text, but at least it will reach a certain percentage of users.
    the line in question is -
    $body ="Booking request details from website:\n\n";
    I have tried putting <b></b> and
    <strong></strong>, inside the inverted commas, outside
    etc, plus tried different declarations within the <head>,
    nothing works! What am I doing wrong?
    I am a beginner with this php stuff, please be kind!

    You can't do bold text in a normal email. Plain text is just
    that -
    plain text. For anything more you need HTML. _If_ you should
    need it.
    Usually plain text serves pretty well and is the most
    efficient way.

    You would have to create an entire HTML email with all the
    required
    headers and boundaries. Quite difficult to do by hand with
    PHP's mail()
    function.
    > I am a beginner with this php stuff, please be kind!
    Then you should start simple with plain text. There are some
    classes out
    there which make it easy to generate text and HTML emails
    (phpmailer for
    example), but you should be familiar with PHP coding if you
    want to use
    them.

  • PHP email form with Validation - not working

    Hello;
    I am new to using php. I usually use coldfusion or asp but this site requires me to write in php. I have a form I am trying to get to work and right now.. it doesn't do anyhting but remember what you put in the fields. It doesn't want to send, and it won't execute the validation script for the fields that are required. Can anyone help me make this work? I'm confused and a definate newbie to PHP.
    Here is my code:
    <?php    
                  $PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];   
                  $errName    = "";   
                  $errEmail    = "";
                  $errPhone    = "";        
                  if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {        
                          if($_POST["ac"]=="login"){            
                        $FORMOK = TRUE;    // $FORMOK acts as a flag. If you enter any of the conditionals below,                             // it gets set to FALSE, and the e-mail will not be sent.
                        // First Name           
                        if(preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z -]+$/", $_POST["name"]) === 0) {               
                            $errName = '<div class="errtext">Please enter you name.</div>';               
                            $FORMOK = FALSE;           
                        // Email           
                    if(preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z]\w+(\.\w+)*\@\w+(\.[0-9a-zA-Z]+)*\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/", $_POST["email"]) === 0) {                                                    $errEmail = '<div class="errtext">Please enter a valid email.</div>';               
                            $FORMOK = FALSE;           
                        // Phone           
                        if(preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z -]+$/", $_POST["phone"]) === 0) {               
                            $errPhone = '<div class="errtext">Please enter your phone number.</div>';               
                            $FORMOK = FALSE;           
                        if($FORMOK) {               
                                $to = "[email protected]";  
                                $subject = "my. - Contact Form";                  
                                $name_field = $_POST['name'];               
                                $email_field = $_POST['email'];               
                                $phone_field = $_POST['phone'];
                                $city_field = $_POST['city'];
                                $state_field = $_POST['state'];               
                                $message = $_POST['comment'];                
                                $message = "

                                // Mail it               
                                mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);                
                                header("Location: thankyou.php")
                                // I have no idea what these next 3 lines are for. You may just want to get rid of them.                   
    ini_set("sendmail_from","[Send from]");
    ini_set("SMTP","[mail server]");
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
                                } else {               
                                echo "Error!";              
                        ?>
    <form method="post" action="<?php $PHP_SELF ?>" id="commentForm">
    <input name="name" size="40" value="<?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>" type="text">
                         <?php  if(isset($errName)) echo $errName; ?>
    <input name="email" size="40" value="<?php echo $_POST["email"]; ?>"  type="text">
            <?php  if(isset($errEmail)) echo $errEmail; ?>
    <input name="phone" size="40" value="<?php echo $_POST["phone"]; ?>" type="text" id="phone">
            <?php  if(isset($errPhone)) echo $errPhone; ?>
    <input name="city" size="40" value="<?php echo $_POST["city"]; ?>" type="text" id="city">
    <input name="state" size="40" value="<?php echo $_POST["state"]; ?>" type="text" id="state">
    <textarea name="comment" cols="30" rows="10" id="comment"><?php echo $_POST["comment"]; ?></textarea>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" class="contact-submit" />
    </form>
    It seems pretty simple.. but it's not working at all. I would also like this page to submit to it's self, and when it actually does send an email, to just make the form disappear and replace it with the thank you text instead of sending you to another page. I also do not need to use an smtp server, it goes directly to the network server when sent.
    I'm really sorry to ask all of this, I'm trying to learn this language and need to make this work.
    Thank you for anyones help in advance.

    You can't do bold text in a normal email. Plain text is just
    that -
    plain text. For anything more you need HTML. _If_ you should
    need it.
    Usually plain text serves pretty well and is the most
    efficient way.

  • Unbound form with checkboxes

    I have a 'Crossover Table' that links the following fields:  ID(Autonumber), ItemID (foreign key - Number), FieldA(Text) , FieldB (Text), Field C (checkbox).
    I want to create a form that will show one ItemID at a time.  Like a crosstab, but not quite:
                       Data A          Data B            Data C
    Datapt1       chkbx            chkbx            chkbx
    Datapt2       chkbx            chkbx            chkb
    Datapt3       chkbx            chkbx            chkbx
    Code for chkbx=IIf([Data A] = "cat"  AND [Datapt1] = "hamburger" AND FieldC = -1, -1, 0)
    I have tried putting the table name in front of the FieldName as well.
    Can this even be done.
    If it can, i want to  use it on a subform that will then link thru the ItemID. 
    My problem right now is, that it shows 9 records.  If i scroll thru the 9 the chkbx shows appropriately, but i want it all on one page.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This sounds like something for Excel spreadsheet!
    If form is unbound what do you expect to be accomplished once you have clicked the desired checkboxes?

  • Email Form With No Email Address

    Hello,
    I am trying to get more information on how I can help my
    clients reduce
    spam. I've normally built my forms by using:
    <form action=http://www.domain.com/cgi-sys/formmail.pl...
    <input type="hidden" name="recipient"
    value=[email protected]>
    but this obviously puts the email address right in the hands
    of the spam
    crawlers.
    Is there a way to eliminate having to show your recipient
    value in the HTML?
    Can someone tell me how this is done?
    Thanks in advance.

    Note this utility has just been updated today to 4.5 (was in
    beta) and
    includes a number of optional Form SPAM Control fields
    (hidden field, timer,
    CAPTCHA e.g.) if you find your form being used to send SPAM.

  • Email Form with Combo box

    Hi guys,
    I need to add a actionscript and php code to the attached
    codes. As you can see I already have the codes for the name, email
    address, message etc...what I need is how to write the codes for
    these six combo boxes:
    Arrival Date: Day, Month, Year
    Departure Date: Day, Month, Year

    again, you assign a variable.  the selected radiobutton's data and/or label isn't going to magically be sent to the php file.
    for example, if you have sendLV and receiveLV loadvars instances, you can use:
    sendLV.rbData=yourradiogroup.selection.data;
    sendLV.yourothervariables=yourothervariables;
    sendLV.sendAndLoad("yourphp.php",receiveLV,"POST");

  • Flash Forms and Checkboxes

    I'm creating a Flash Form and I have a group of 4 checkboxes,
    and the value part of the input statement is as follows:
    <cfif
    Isdefined('Form.whatever1')>1<cfelse>1</cfif>
    <cfif
    Isdefined('Form.whatever2')>1<cfelse>1</cfif>
    <cfif
    Isdefined('Form.whatever3')>1<cfelse>1</cfif>
    <cfif
    Isdefined('Form.whatever4')>1<cfelse>1</cfif>
    But when I submit the record, all of the checkboxes are
    recorded as "1", even if none of them or some of them are checked.
    Has anyone developed a flash form with checkboxes and experienced
    similar issues?
    Thanks...

    Oh, forgot to mention that I used the same code in a
    "regular" form, and it worked. Just curious as to if this is a
    known Flash Form problem
