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");

Help getting a form with check box capabilities?

Hi all,
I built a new site using Muse, which I am very happy with so far, but I am finding the forms a bit limiting. The previous website, which I am replacing with the new muse site, was built using Dreamweaver. The old site had a form with check boxes and it pointed to a PHP directory. Is there a way to acheive the same results in Muse? Either a form widget update (without having to use BC), or a simple way to configure Muse to interact with my PHP directory? I'm not a coder, but I can manage some light work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks Morgan! Jotform is in the realm of possiblities; however, the company the site is for has a very strict privacy policy, which might be a concern when looking at free form builders. I should have mentioned that before.
I beleive the best way to acheive what I'm trying to do is by linking the existing PHP directory to the new Muse site. The existing form built in Dreamweaver works fine, I just need to get the same form to work in Muse. Is there a way to do that?

Filtering my DataGridView with Combo Boxes

Hello everyone! I have recently started working with windows form application and I must say it is really
awsome! I have came up with a project but I came across a little problem and I hope some of you might help me!
I have established a local database and managed to connect it to a DataGridView, awsome I can see my database
in my windows form! I have also made 7 combo boxes, each with its strings in it, then i added a button that should filter the data grid view according to the strings the user selected in the combo boxes. My question is, how do i do that? I mean how do i make
the button fillter my DataGridView according to the strings selected in my combo boxes?
Hope for a quick answer, sorry for my english and lack of knowledge in windows form!

Maybe you could go this way:
Populate the combobox manually, first adding "All", then adding the items from industryGroupsDataSet.Tables[0].
Add a BindingSource between companiesDataSet.Tables[0] and dataGridView1.DataSource.
In the SelectedIndexChanged event of the combobox, alter the Filter property of the BindingSource. If the selected index is zero ("All"), set the Filter to null, otherwise set the filter to String.Format("groupID = '{0}'", cmbBxGroupFilter.SelectedValue).
You may also have a look at these too:

Glitch with combo boxes

Hi all,
In flash I have about 5 frames, each which have 7 combo boxes
on them. The user selects the answers for each combo box and then
clicks 'check' if they are correct they move on to the next frame.
The only frame that is different is frame 3 which has combo boxes 4
and 5 missing because they do not apply for that particular
question.
Once the user moves on past frame 3, some of the combo boxes
show up blank (they are there but the default Index 0 "select" does
not show up. If you click on the combo box it opens and you can
choose one of the 5 choices in it, but once you select one it won't
show up either.
Does anyone know the cause of this problem or a solution?
P.S. The combo boxes all have the same instance name
throughout the whole file of 'cbo1' through 'cbo7' and are reset to
index 0 at the beginning of each new frame.

You do this by combining JSPs with a central servlet. I don't know how to do it with just one JSP on its own.
The JSP does a <form> POST to the servlet. The servlet fetches the combo box values into a List, puts it into request scope, and forwards the response back to the JSP. The JSP gets the List out of request scope and populates the drop-down. You do the same thing when there's a selection in the drop-down: onChange does a POST back to the servlet, which gets the selected value as a parameter, takes the appropriate action, and forwards the response with new data in request scope back to the JSP.
The trick is to have the data in request scope so the JSP can get it. I think you need a servlet to do that.

Trouble with combo box

I am using a combo box with the code below, but each time I
arrive on this
screen that displays cbTREATMENT, the combo box first draws
itself with the
default style, then applies my style, which looks a bit ugly
onscreen.
Anything I can do to rectify this?
Thanks.
cbTREATMENT.setStyle( "fontSize", "13" );
cbTREATMENT.setStyle( "color", "0x000000" );
cbTREATMENT.setStyle( "fontWeight", "bold" );
cbTREATMENT.setStyle( "fontFamily", "arial" );
cbTREATMENT.dropdown.rowHeight = 18;
cbTREATMENT.dataProvider=["","name1","name2","name3];
cbTREATMENT.text=vTREATMENT;

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure what you mean, can you
explain any
further?

Adobe Reader app on my ipad air problem with combo boxes filling in

I am using Adobe Reader app on my ipad air and when filling out forms, and making a selection from a combo box, my selection dissappears. Not visible, not printable, not savable, just blank. It works well on my Reader on my Windows desktop. Any ideas?

Indesign forms and combo boxes

Hey,
I have created an interactive document which is working perfectly, however I just need to clarify a couple of things.
• Combo boxes - can I change the actual appearance of these? Like colour, size of drop down arrow etc? I know I can change the fonts/size through Acrobat.
• Submit button - I have this so it sends the form to an email address, but the document is 4mb. Is there a way thet this submit form button ONLY submits the form, not the whole document?
Cheers

Go to edit forms in Acrobat and use a lot of options there.

Help with Combo box

I am having problems with displaying items on a combo box.
The combo box will allow a user to select a fixed list of values for a database column.
I created the combo box and set the dataItemUsageMode property in the property inspector to "USE FOR UPDATE". The list is bound to the corresponding column of the query RowSetInfo.
In the code, I hard coded the items to be displayed using comboboxName.addItem(). When I run the form, the list of hard coded values shows up. However, when I select an item, the selected item is not displayed on the screen.
Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
null

I had a problem like this when I inserted a new row into the given Rowset.
Try setting initial value for the attribute that you are using for update.
eg. if you have this:
comboBoxControl1.setDataItemNameForUpdate("infobus:/oracle/sessionInfo1/rowSetInfo1/Status");
comboBoxControl1.addItem(new String("Silver"));
comboBoxControl1.addItem(new String("Gold"));
comboBoxControl1.addItem(new String("Platinum"));
set the attribute as follows:
StatusrowSetInfo1.getImmediateAccess().setValue(new String("Silver"));
or any other way you can set that attribute.

Problem with combo boxes and the reset button in certain situations

Hi Everyone,
i have a problem to make the reset-button function properly in an what-if analysis dashboard.
The dashboard uses two combo boxes that are not visible at the same time. In my application the second combo box only appears when a dedicated menu (label based menu button) has been activated.
So i have combo box 1 when menu A is active an dand combo box 2 when menu 2 is active.
After starting the dashboard initial values are fine. If you then directly change to menu 2 (seeing combo box 2 with
the correct default value) and press the reset button, the dashboard returns to the initial view, showing
the menu 1 with the correct default value. If you now switch back to menu 2, you will see, that the combo box 2
is empty (i.e. nothing selected).
I also tracked the destination cells for the combo box value results as well as the source cells for the "selected item" and the
destination cells for the "Insert Selected Item". All this values seem to be correct. Therefore i assume that
this is an issue of event handling. Maybe the combo box 2 does not refresh its selected value because it is already
invisible when the values are restored.
This case can easily be simulated by placing two combo boxes and a push button (that changes the visibility of
the combo boxes) and the reset button on the canvas.
Maybe someone can help. I am able to provide a test xlf, if neccessary.
Thanks,
Oliver
P.S. I am using Xcelsius SP4 (Version 5.4.0.0)

Hello Debjit_Singha_86,
thank you for your support. At the moment i have the following setting:
label based menu
- General: Insertion Type "value" from a list of ID's for the menu-items to a dedicated cell (current menu ID, say tab1!$A$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) fixted to item 1
hidden combo box
- General: Insertion Type "position" to a dedicated cell with the current choice (say tab1!$B$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) to the same cell (tab1!$B$1)
Can you give me a hint on how to connect the two components according to your solution, so that the label based menu sets the default for the hidden combox box only in case, that the reset button is pressed?
Thanks,
Oliver

Problem with Combo Box in a Dialog Box

I have a dialog box that includes a combo box.
For some reason the combo box shows up under the first text box. In other words, the combo box is not separate from the first field. It has the following:
ComboBox with Sequence showing, then Enter Identifyer
Textbox URL
Textbox Enter Resource 1
Textbox Enter Resource 2
Textbox Enter Resource 3
Textbox Enter Resource 4
Textbox Enter Resource 5
It's putting the combo box in the first text field...it should be
ComboBox with Sequence showing

Enter Identifyer Textbox
Enter Resource 1 Textbox
Enter Resource 2 Textbox...

What im trying to do is put a string array into this combo box called jComboBoxParts how do i make it show? Right now when i load it, all i see is "Item1..."Item2...etc". Here is my code.
String[] partsString = { "oil can", "windshield", "tires", "v6 Cylinder head", "fuse"};
JComboBox[] jComboBoxParts = new JComboBox[partsString.length];
for(int i=0; i < partsString.length; i++)

That's ugly in so many ways...
This:
JComboBox[] jComboBoxParts = new JComboBox[partsString.length];does not do what you think it does. Instead, it creates an array of JComboBoxes initialized to the length of elements in your string array. So instead of a single JComboBox capable of holding 5 elements (which is what you were trying to do), you created 5 JComboBoxes capable of holding n elements.
What you want to do is something like this:
import javax.swing.*;
class Demo extends JFrame {
private JComboBox box;
public Demo() {
    initComponents();
private void initComponents() {
    String[] items = { "oil can", "windshield", "tires", "v6 cylinder head", "fuse" };
    box = new JComboBox(items);
    this.getContentPane().add(box);
    this.pack();
    this.setSize(200, 60);
    this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    this.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    this.setTitle("Combox Box Demo");
public static void main(String[] argv) {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        new Demo().setVisible(true);
}Another alternative, if you don't have the array of strings available when you instantiate your JComboBox, you could do something like this:
String items = { "oil can", "brakes", "windshield", "tail light", "something else", "blah", "more blah" };
for( String item : items )
myJComboBox.addItem(item);
