Filling out online forms

Not sure what category this falls in, but it's an exasperating problem! When I go online to fill out a form with my name and address, as I type in the zip code, I get a drop-down message instructing me to enter a valid 5-digit zip code. It seems something cuts off the first digit, leaving only four digits. I only have this problem with my own zip code, not with one that I enter for another town. This doesn't happen every time, but 90 percent of the time, and I end up having to forget the whole thing of whatever it is I'm trying to do! Does anyone have a clue as to what is causing this? I was thinking it could be a glitch in my Safari browser.

Hi Joyce,
"This doesn't happen every time, but 90 percent of the time"
Is it possible that you might be having a problem with the #1 key itself? Could it be possible that it is skipping for some reason? To be clear, you hit the #1 key to enter into the field and it just doesn't appear...correct? What exactly are you seeing in the field when you type all five digits?
As suggested earlier, did you try another browser to see if it was the browser?
Does this problem happen if you type in your zip code on other sites? Can you, for instance, get the zip to fill in the field on the USPS shipping site http://postcalc.usps.gov/ ? Is this just one site that is having this problem?
Try Camino Browser 1.6.1 to test (requires Mac OSX v10.3.9 or higher).

  • Filling out online forms with java

    I wanted to create a program that will fill out a form on a website by running a java program. COuld anyone tell me what i would use to make the program fill in i guess a text feild and then select a radio button and submitting the results? I tried looking through books and online but i dont even know what im looking for really.

    Maybe look for browser plugin programming. Otherwise, I don't know how a Java application (as opposed to an Applet) could ever access an HTML page in a browser window.
    At least not without going native. On Win machines, you might use something like the Java-Com bridge to access the IE's API... if it provides one and its methods help you to do what you intend.

  • Users are blocked from filling out online form

    I purchased the initial package that allows 500 responses to an online form/month.  We've received 5 responses and subsequent applicants have told us they are blocked from completing it.

    Is there any error message when you access the shared files? Please open the Shared Folders snap-in in mmc, and then find the Open Files in the Shared Folders to check if there is any session opens the shared files.
    Shared Folders includes the Open Files that shows the files on the system that are currently open and shows you which users have the files or folders open.

    I want to fill out aplication forms and resend to employers online.  How can I do this?

    Good day,
    In order to fill out PDF forms, they must be enabled with form fields.  If this hasn't been done by the individual/company that's providing the PDF file, you may use Adobe Acrobat Professional to accomplish this.  We offer a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat X Professional for the Windows platform here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/

  • Is there anyway those who are filling out the form preview it before submitting (online)?

    I have a form currently open and users are giving me feedback to enhance the process. I was asked if there was anyway for the user (the person filling out the form) to preview the form before submission to check for typos and such. I have looked around and I don't see anything that discusses this ( I could have missed it). Can anyone let me know if this is possible or not?
    Thanks,
    Ashley

    Ashley,
    We don't have an explicit review step in the submission process, however it is possible for form fillers to page/scroll back through the form to look at the entries they have made.

  • I would like to receive an email when someone fills out my form online.

    I don't want to be receiving checking my summary report constantly.  I would rather receive an email notice when someone fills out my form.  The way I do with google forms.

  • Need to fill out PDF forms

    Does anyone have a good app for filling out PDF forms?  I used Acrobat Pro in Windows, but then my employer supplied it for me.  I'm not going to pay $300 to fill out PDF forms.  I tried it in Preview, as people say that works, but I can't get it to work.  The forms I have to fill out that are supplied by my employer won't accept editing in Preview.  They work fine in Acrobat Pro in Windows.  I also tried formulate.pro, but I couldn't save the form back to PDF, only to a propietary format.  Not useful for sharing these forms with colleagues.  Is there a solution to this problem?  Thanks.

    I know about that.  Unfortunately, the form can no longer be modified once you do that.  (According to others who have tried it.)  I know it's a pretty nit-picky list of requirements I have, but I work in a very Windows-centric, Mac-hostile workplace (even though a sizeable minority of people here use Macs).  I've been using a Mac since 2004, and it's been a battle to solve one problem after another: web pages that only render "properly" in IE, web applications that only work "properly" in IE, a voice messaging system that is Mac-hostile, and most recently this business with the forms.  My solution has usually been "if it doesn't work in Firefox or Safari, then it doesn't work."  Unfortunately, I don't have that option with these forms.  More and more of what I have to do must be done either online or at least digitally, and yet we are generating more paper than ever!  And no one who is responsible for creating/purchasing the apps to do all these things seems even to know about the existence of any OS other than Windows.  Sorry about the rant, but that is the world at Coastal Carolina University!

  • Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
    The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

  • I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported with the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the new version before using the older version?

    I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported to input info from the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the newer version before using the older version? If so, how do I delete the new version and install the older version?

    If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

  • Filling out a form in adobe reader

    Im filling out a form in adobe reader for a scholarship. It was going well until I hit a certain section. Instead of typing the words horizontally, it was typing them vertically. Is there any easy way to fix this? I dont want to have to handwrite the entire thing.
    Thanks

    That's an interesting form. It looks like it started out as an XFA form that was created in LiveCycle Designer, and somehow converted to an acroform on a Mac. Whatever the process was resulted in setting the rotation on some of the field to 90 degrees. As Mike said, there's nothing you can do about it with just Reader.
    If you had Acrobat, you could set the proper rotation for the fields. If you really want to do this and don't have Acrobat, you can install the trial version of Acrobat 10. Or you could try contacting the creator of the form and get them to fix it.

  • A word document was emailed to me.  I can open the document without a problem.  Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form?  When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

    If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

  • Problem filling out a form exported from pdf to docx.

    I "successfully" exported a pdf form to word docx.  The form looks exactly like the original.  However, when I attempt to fill in the blanks (which are large)  the text gets dropped in vertically e.g.  first name la
                                                    st name (on a lower line).  I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.  Filling out this form is urgent, and the only reason I purchased this program.  Any advice will be appreciated.

    Hi Catherine,
    I'd like to assist!
    The file may have converted as an image, possibly due to poor quality.
    Are you able to bring the words together by utilizing your 'back' key?
    Let me know how it goes if you try converting it again.
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
    Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.
