Embedding a fill in form on a web page

I have a personal survey form, (multiple choice and fill-in only) on my web site. I use a commercial web form building site. The submit button sends results viewed by going to their site only. I'd prefer the form be emailed to me. To that end I need to learn how to generate code (ideally from templates or existing modules) specific to my needs which I can then embed on my web site. What are good help/support sites of experienced web builders to get ideas and resources for this project?
Can you suggest any simple database applications that will generate code for such a personal survey form to embed on a web page? Is this doable in HTML or needs be CSS or time for Java or Flash? I want to keep it simple.

Printing forms imbedded in web page

Hi All,
This is my first post, and I need some help.
HP Officejet 8615
Several doctors and dentists have embedded forms on their web page for new patients to complete. I can't get these forms to print.
I have tried printing the form from the web page = unsuccessful.
I have tried saving the form to my desktop and printing it = unsuccessful
I have run the HP diagnostics and successfully printed a test page.
My computer:
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with SP1
3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium G3220 Processor
6 GB RAM
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, updated
All MS Security updates installed. Kaspersky Anti- Virus installed. Updated, returns clean scans.
Malwarebytes Pro up dated and returns clean scans.
I have no problems with my computer or printer, except I can’t get these embedded forms to print.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Ideas and thoughts on the subject...
You mentioned the word "Acrobat" -- this makes me think you are dealing with a PDF form??
PDF format can be tricky. Forms that look OK may or may not actually be something the printer can translate into printer language and spit out as actual print on a page.
You could try printing the PDF file as in Image -- this is a tried and true method of printing out PDF files that may be stubborn and won't otherwise print. See below...
Things that are PDF:
PDF file will not print
Quick fix | Print PDF as image | Acrobat, Reader
PDF file will not print (2)
Check your PDF viewer in your browser > Options
Example
Firefox > Tools > Options > Applications >
Portable Document Format (PDF) >> select Use Adobe Reader
Adobe Reader Download
===================================================
If you get desperate, and you can SEE the form you need on the screen, you can use Snip to grab a screen shot of the form, save the file as an Image, and print that.
Snipping Tool - Windows 7
Snipping Tool- Windows 8.x
Apple-Talk
How to Print Screen on a Mac, 6 different ways to capture screenshot on a Mac
===================================================
If you can get the saved form, whatever the format, into a Word file and then perhaps save that Word file into a new PDF file -- and maybe use Word's embedded font feature -- then you might be able get the file to print.

Unkown failure when submitting a form to PHP web page

Hello.
I've been having a following issue when using Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3.23 and the newest version.
An error occurred during submit process. Unkown failure.
This happens when the document is receiving data from web page.
Following javascript is behind the submit button:
this.submitForm({
cURL: "http://path.to.url/index.php",
cSubmitAs: "XFDF" // the default, not needed here
In the web page there is a script that processes the data and after that it sends pdf document to the user that has submitted the form:
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="confirmation.pdf"');
readfile('confirmation.pdf');
The problem only occurs on some computers i've tried this form. I have no idea why this is happening. Any ideas?

The submit button is in the PDF file.

How to send Parameters FORM to PHP WEB Page with method POST (secure)?

Hello everyone,
i hope someone can help me to find a solution to this problem!
i have to send "+precious+" parameters from an oracle form to php page, like username and password, with a secure method... i tried with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT procedure but it uses GET Method and when the web page open up you can read those parameters in the url...no good!
some suggestion?
Thank a lot in advance... FMicio

The other way you have is to make a PJC java bean ...
which uses HTTPClient library..
for example:
PostMethod post = new PostMethod("http://jakarata.apache.org/");
        NameValuePair[] data = {
          new NameValuePair("user", "joe"),
          new NameValuePair("password", "bloggs")
        post.setRequestBody(data);
        // execute method and handle any error responses.
        InputStream in = post.getResponseBodyAsStream();
        // handle response.I have done a multipart form data post to upload files to my db over httpClient.. and other things...
Or with java.net.* api-s
try {
    // Construct data
    String data = URLEncoder.encode("key1", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("value1", "UTF-8");
    data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("key2", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("value2", "UTF-8");
    // Send data
    URL url = new URL("http://hostname:80/cgi");
    URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
    wr.write(data);
    wr.flush();
    // Get the response
    BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
    String line;
    while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
        // Process line...
    wr.close();
    rd.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}Or you can call your web page (post data) from your database

How to reuse a form in two web pages?

I have a create page for creating a user account and an edit page for editing a user account.
I have two backing beans each with a user object that's being created or edited, for example:
UserCreatorHandler.creationUser and UserEditorHandler.editUser
Currently I have two JSPs -- createUser.jsp and editUser.jsp each have the same simple form on them (firstname, lastname, emailaddress) because they look like this:
// createUser.jsp
<h:inputText id="firstname" value="#{userCreatorHandler.creationUser.firstName}" />
// editUser.jsp
<h:inputText id="firstname" value="#{userCreatorHandler.editUser.firstName}" />My question is, how can I rework it so there one form:
// userForm.jsp
<h:inputText id="firstname" value="#{user.firstName}" />and have both createUser.jsp and editUser.jsp include the userForm.jsp by passing the user in as a parameter to the userForm.jsp page?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks,
rh

Make it a request scoped managed bean which you inject in the userCreatorHandler as managed property. You can find hints here.

Can't use edit forms on some web pages

I have been using my iPad on forums (like this one) and find some where the iPad can't be used. For instance, if I try to edit an bay page, I can't set the cursor insert point. Also when I click an data entry field, the keyboard doesn't pop up.
I have seen this behavior on a couple of forums.
This appears to be a problem in the iPad or safari. I have no problems on any of these web sites using any other computer.
Any ideas?

Thanks but it didn't fix the problem.
I still can't edit on some pages. I tried to edit my first post on this forum and it works ok. But if I go to eBay and try to edit an auction description, the keyboard won't pop up, when I click the edit field. I can edit the same field with my PC but not from the iPad.
I can edit single line fields but not multiple-line fields (like this post) on some sites. When I touch, tap, hold or make any contact with those fields, the iPad will only select. It won't go into edit insert mode.
Another equally problematic problem, that even happens on this forum, on fields I can edit, is that there is no way scroll or move to a different part of large idiot fields. All I can work with are the first 10 lines. I have found a workaround but it is very tedious.
I have seen this behavior on other forums too. Only my iPad has this problem.
Simple test for someone who uses ebay. Go see if you can edit an auction description. I can't.
Another test. Try to edit a post content on this forum. If the post is longer than 10 lines, can you position the cursor at the end? These multiple-line fields won't scroll.

Using forms to update web pages

I'm desigining a site for someone who doesn't know much html.
It would be much simplier if I could create a form that, when
submitted, updated the information on the website. Can someone
point me to a tutorial or help page on this topic?
thanks.
Holly
ps. this is a band's website and it's for the shows page if
that helps anyone.

I don't know about a tutorial, but I'll invite intervention
from the BIG BOYS by reminding you that a form is a client device
that requires a script of some variety to interact with the server.
I'm doing some work, right now with a group to update a list of
references with no prior knowledge of HTML (architects, eek!). I'll
be using an XML document. The two best ways for you to do this are
to design PHP/mySQL documents as (database) input and edit
documents for the dynamic data, OR to use an XML set to allow your
user to edit and upload what is a formatted text document that
updates the pages dynamically. And, now ... Let the games begin !

Why does safari hang when I'm entering a form on a web page?

My company requires us to use iPads to access a web site where we enter information on our patients. Whenever I tap the save or submit button in either Safari or Mercury the application hangs with no activity in the title bar. I can tap the home key and run other apps but the browsers hang. The only other computers I have access to are Windows desktops and the same site works fine on them. I've tried this through wi-fi and through 3G with the same results. Any suggestions on what I can try or change to stop this issue?

Contact your company IT department and tell them of the issue.

I thought your company required you to access this site using iPads?

Embedding into a web page & background sound.

Hello,
I am looking for some advise on embedding an adobe edge animation into a web page.
It's more complex than it sounds unfortunately for me because I don't have any coding knowledge.
I have a web page with a flash version of the animation. I want to add the edge animation to the same page but only play
if the device does not have or support the flash player. So, if flash is installed I want the flash version to run. If no flash (ipads, etc) then
the edge version should play. I know many people choose the other way around but while I am learning edge the flash version is
much better so I would prefer the flash version to play primarily.
Onto the sound element. I have background music playing for the flash file (the music is built into the flash animation. I am not sure
how I can do this with the edge animation. Presummably it would need to be coded into the acutal HTML page with some sort of
HTML5 tag? But the problem I see here is that if the flash version starts to play the HTML5 version would start to play too in browsers
which support flash AND HTML5 tags.
I would appreicate any advise.
Thanks
Andrew

Does anyone know if there is an email address for Edge support? I really need to find a solution for this.
Thanks
Andrew

Content in fields on web page not recognized in Safari on Mavericks

Sometimes when I am filling out an order form on a web page in Safari and try to save the page some fields say thay are empty when they have information in them. It stops me from being able to contiue with the order. I fill out the same form in Firefox and it processing correctly. I have noticed this happening mostly on State or Country drop down menu's.

Embed Lightroom gallery in web page

Hello all,
Here for help with embedding a Lightroom created gallery into
a web page in Dreamweaver. My test page is at
http://www.grayareaphotography.com/Copy%20of%20Home%20Page.htm
(dont mind the mess this is just a testing page) scroll to the
bottom and you'll see the LR gallery embedded. At the top are links
to all my other LR galleries, they open in separate pages (perhaps
the way LR would perfer it to be done).
On to the question. I found discussion on how to do this at
http://www.bluefire.tv/blog/flashgalleries/using_flashvars.html
using flashvars, and I have been able to get the shell of the LR
gallery to load, but I can find the code, or mistake or oversight,
that will load the actual pictures. I've emailed BlueFire, no reply
yet. So thought I would ask here too.
All my LR galleries, their folders and files reside under my
root, grayareaphotography/galleryName.xxx.
Here is my code for embedding LR galleries thus far. Anyone
done this? anyone know or see something I am missing?

Controlling a web page from Labview

Hello,
I am trying to acquire image from an Encoder's IP address, but I'm facing some problems:
1. Once the Ip address is loaded, the web page asks for authentication (user and password), so I don't know how I can send this information to IE through Labview.
2. Once one has logged in, the web page shows a window with ActiveX controls in which the image from a camera is acquired and can be zoomed in and out, or saved. I need to saved the image, so I would need to send an instruction to the page as if I had clicked in the "Save" icon. I wonder if I can send some sort of instructions telling "buttonX=ON" or using the coordinates in the window to simulate a click or sth.
I tried the "AutoIT Example.vi" and changed it to call internet explorer and then sending the URL, and I also tried the "open_browser_send_URL.vi" but as I said, I'm stuck in the authentication part.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have to deal with this problem.
Thanks
Solved!

When you attempt to log in to the web page, does it use a form on the web page, or does it pop up a separate authentication dialog? If it's a form within the web page, you may be able to do this using Internet Explorer and LabVIEW. The details will depend on your web page - if it uses a form submit then it should work, if it relies on Javascript then it may be more trouble. You'll have to look at the web page source to identify the correct form elements. I'm attaching a VI that demonstrates how I handled this in one previous project. The VI expects that you'll pass in a reference to a WebBrowser object.
To save the image, you may again be able to dig into the HTML source of the web page to find out what method of the ActiveX object is being called. You can then obtain a reference to that ActiveX object, cast it to the appropriate type, and call that same method from your VI. I've done this before for a web-based label-printing application, as shown in the attached image. In this case the ActiveX component is called TidAx1 (which I found from looking at the source of the web page). After obtaining a reference to the ActiveX component within the web page, the LabVIEW programmer has access to all its properties and methods.
