Firefox won't submit form in iframe if XHTML strict is on

Hello,
I discovered that Firefox ignores <iframe name="xxx"> for <form target="xxx"> if I set application/xhtml+xml as page content type.
See more here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18532115/posting-form-to-an-iframe-under-strict-xhtml-firefox
I believe this is a bug since other browsers behave the same way for either text/html or xhtml content type.
You can see live example here: http://u8.8u.cz/xhtmlform.php

Used the live example in Firefox 23, works in both modes.

Strange behaviour on Safari when trying to submit form using iframe

Hi All,
Not sure if this is the correct forum to raise this question
I am using iframe based mechanism to submit my login from and it is working fine on each and every browser except Safari.Here is the HTML form I am using to submit the information
<iframe height="0" width="0" name="loginFrame" hidden="true"> </iframe>
<form:form action="${loginActionUrl}" method="post" commandName="loginForm" id="header-signin" target="loginFrame" name="header-signin">
<input type="text"   name="j_username" id="header-signin_j_username">
<input type="password" name="j_password" id="header-signin_j_password">
<input type="button" class="btn1" value="Sign In" id="login" formnovalidate="formnovalidate"/>
</form:form>
and here is the java-script code
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#login").live('click',function(e) {
      if(validateSigninForm('header-signin')){
          $("#header-signin").submit();
there are some additional JS code which is being used
if($('#header-signin_j_password').length){
    document.getElementById('header-signin_j_password').onkeydown = function(event) {
        if (event.keyCode == 13) {
         triggerSigin(this.form.id);
triggerSignin is simple using Jquery submit method to submit the form.
When I fill the password filed and press the enter button, everything is working fine and page is getting refreshed with the help of the iFrame, but if I click on the sing in button, Safari is opening a new browser window and sending null values to the back end server.
This behavior is only noticeable for the first time and if I click on the signin button second time, It will be working perfectly fine till I close the browser and open it again.
I am not sure what is going wrong here and this approach is working fine on all other browsers.
Can any one help me in this?

Okay I tried something new. I changed the email address listed under my account in the Server app, and then went back to add the short name again. This time it allowed the save. Then I went back to Server and changed the listed address back to what I entered as the short name, and it let me do that, too. I guess the order you do this in matters. Odd.

I believe my it guys have php on their server. When I look on the internet
to try and use the form to test it, I get the error:
The website cannot display the page
HTTP 500
Most likely causes:
The website is under maintenance.
The website has a programming error.
What you can try:
Refresh the page.
Go back to the previous page.

* Last Modified: RR 14:07 Wed 15 August 2007
* QVCS Version: $Revision: 1.4 $
* Read This First
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* This script is very well documented and quite large! It looks daunting,
* but really isn't.
* If you have experience with PHP or other scripting languages,
* here's what you *need* to read:
*      - Configuration (TARGET_EMAIL & DEF_ALERT)
*      - Creating Forms
* That's it! (Alternatively, just read the Quick Start and/or
* Quicker Start section below).
* Full configuration documentation is here:
*      http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/index.php
* Purpose:
* ~~~~~~~~
* To accept information from an HTML form via HTTP and mail it to recipients.
* What does this PHP script do?
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* On your web site, you may have one or more HTML forms that accept
* information from people visiting your website. Your aim is for your
* website to email that information to you and/or add it to a database.
* FormMail performs those functions.
* Quick Start
* ~~~~~~~~~~~
* 1. Edit this file and set TARGET_EMAIL for your requirements (near
*      line 235 in this file - replace "yourhost\.com" with your mail server's
*      name). We also strongly recommend you set DEF_ALERT (the next
*      configuration below TARGET_EMAIL).
* 2. Install this file as formmail.php (or other name ending in .php)
*     on your web server.
* 3. Create an HTML form and:
*      - specify a hidden field called "recipients" with the email address
*        of the person to receive the form's results.
*      - in the your form tag set the action attribute to
*        the formmail.php you uploaded to your web server
* Once you have FormMail working, you may be interested in some advanced
* usage and features. We have HOW-TO guides at www.tectite.com which
* describe many of the advanced processing you can do with FormMail.
*      http://www.tectite.com/fmhowto/guides.php
* Quicker Start
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Use the FormMail Configuration Wizard here:
*      http://www.tectite.com/wizards/fmconf.php
* By answering a few questions you'll get a configured FormMail and
* a sample HTML form ready to upload and use on your server.
* Features
* ~~~~~~~~
* For a list of features go to: http://www.tectite.com/formmailpage.php
* Security
* ~~~~~~~~
* Security is the primary concern in accepting data from your website
* visitors.
* Tectite FormMail has several security features designed into it. Note,
* however, it requires configuration for your particular web site.
* Configuration
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* To configure this script, go to the section titled "CONFIGURATION"
* (after reading the legal stuff below).
* There is only one mandatory setting: TARGET_EMAIL
* and one strongly recommended setting: DEF_ALERT
* Full configuration information is available here:
*      http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/index.php
* Creating Forms
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Go to this URL to learn how to write HTML forms for use with
* Tectite FormMail: http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/creating_forms.php
* Copying and Use
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* and used provided that you:
*      1. keep this header, including copyright and comments,
*         in place and unmodified; and,

*              b) how to contact you

Just to be clear, this is not an issue with learning dreamweaver. This is just a lack of understanding of HTML and PHP. You need to learn those first before trying to learn DW.
You have a form field named 'donorName' but are checking for a field named 'name'.
$name = $_POST['name'];
<input name="donerName" type="text"
You need to rename one or the other.

Acrobat 7 Pro - form won't submit via email, and data won't submit either

Hi. I am trying to create a form for end users at my website to be able to open the form in Reader, enter their data in the form, and click on the "Submit" button to email it back to me (or any other way it can come back would be okay... as long as I can get the data).
In doing some research on program software needed to do this, I came to the conclusion I needed to have the Adobe suite (Acrobat Pro 7, Distiller 7, and Designer 7), and so I spent a lot of money obtaining this software. I also have just downloaded Reader 9.0 (the most recent).
Here are some particulars:
1. Following directions Ive found on Adobe online, and the Help files as well as in this forum, in the form (in Designer), I have the Submit button going to a URL of mailto:[email protected].
2. I've saved the form as a Static PDF Form File in Designer. Things are going well.
3. The form works great in PDF Preview all form fields are setup and act correctly. Super!
4. I FTP my file to the appropriate website, where once the link to the form is clicked the form opens (in Reader) for my users. Perfect!
5. The user then opens the form, and before they start to fill it out, a popup shows this:
Sending Data Fields By Email. Please note: This form contains an email submit button. Clicking this button will email a data file containing data you type into this form. However, the form itself will not be sent. Remember, you cannot save a completed copy of this form with Adobe Reader 9
Then you have the option to Dont show again and a button to Close.
6. After clicking Close, the user is then able to fill in the fields. These fields are standard fields, nothing exceptional, nothing fancy, just text.
7. At the end of the form is the Submit button. When a user clicks this, NOTHING happens. Even when you try to do the File/Send thing, the form will send, but none of the data. Im not so happy right now L
8. In this forum, I now see directions to Reader Enable in Adobe Pro (I do have Adobe Pro). The directions say Advanced/Enable Reader (as in one of the above posts is stated, 'Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader'). However, I do not have an Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader under my Advanced tab. So, continuing to read in other similar posts, I find others dont have this option either so, one question is, where is it??? ;-)
9. Now I see what appears to be another piece of Adobe software that I need, that is LiveCycle? I think Im getting in over my head, as I dont understand
I am new to all this, and am doing my best, but now Im totally confused. All I want to do is have my measly little form open up and have people fill it in and email it back to me so that I can take that data and work with it.
I run (or am trying to run) a non-profit (i.e., Im paying 100% of the bill) website for local Humane Societies who can facilitate offering online Adoption Applications (this is the form Im trying to make happen). I got the form made, and its fillable its just not being able to be submitted online; and when it DID get submitted (first try or so), it came through with no data, and the .xml file data wouldnt populate.
Bottom line question: Is this, what Im trying to do, feasible or not? Im just a simple soul trying to help out some animals. Im not a programmer, so if thats what it takes I guess Im gonna have to give up and forget it. I only wanted to help make things easer for folks to adopt a pet.
Any help by anyone would be totally and gratefully appreciated. Thank you.
keywords: empty form, form not submitting, can't email form, data not transferring, no data in form, can't submit form, can't submit data

Hi, and thank you for the reply.
I've already spent several hundred dollars on getting Adobe Acrobat software, and was hoping there was some work-around on this? What did people do before LiveCycle for instance when they needed to get data from submitted forms via email?
Please don't misunderstand, but as in my example described above, what can a 3rd party do for me (to enable more 'robust rights') that I can't do myself? I'm trying to figure out if I have the software to do it, paid for the software that is "supposed" to do it, why then I need to pay more money to someone else to make the software do what it's supposed to? I sure don't want to have to pay someone to fix it each time I need to make a change in my form for instance...
I'm confused I guess - I suppose the purpose of my asking on the forum here was to hopefully gain some know-how as how to go about doing this myself vs. paying someone else to do it for me. I want to learn, but just don't know where to start. Or, maybe the software I have just doesn't do what I believed it was capable of doing?
Guidance and/or suggestions from all on this point would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Firefox won't start in any form

I have never had any real problems with firefox not starting in the past, but today I adjusted my internet settings to allow firefox to delete cookies, cache, etc whenever the program was shut down. After doing that, I went to re-open firefox and it would start up, but always "not respond". After 2 or 3 attempts of this with the same result, I restarted my computer and now Firefox will not start at all. The hour glass will pop up for a few seconds, then disappear. The firefox window will not open, but it shows up in the process' list in Win. 7's task manager.
things I have done:
Ran Malware check's using 4 different programs (malware bytes, hitman, etc)
Ran rootchecker
Ran my norten antivirus.
Everything that was found (not allot) was removed.
The Firefox window Does NOT open at all
I cannot open Firefox's "Safe" mode
Firefox will not open in Window's safe mode
I have un-installed and done a clean re-install, and the problem is still there.
Can someone please help, as I have a few hundred bookmarks I can't lose, and I hate using IE, Safari, Chrome, etc.

Hello,
Please see the 'Firefox Previously Worked' section of the support article below.
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-wont-start-find-solutions#w_firefox-previously-worked Firefox won't start] (previously worked).
You need to use the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Profile Manager] to create a new profile. This should allow Firefox to open. You can then migrate your bookmarks, personal data etc across to the new profile.
I hope that helps. Please let me know if not.

Firefox fails to submit self-referential form unless I wait 20-30 seconds.

EDIT: (The solution ended up being, against all expectation, that everything was actually perfectly fine. It was the -webhost- that was messing it up. Note to anyone who comes across this: GoDaddy is terrible for hosting. The same files, uploaded to a real webhost like SourceForge, work perfectly well. What GoDaddy can possibly be failing at, I can't even imagine.)
I am creating a self-referential form (POST method) in PHP to lead a user through the process of a complicated, branching calculation. I load the PHP in Firefox 3.6 and it comes up fine, and I do the first submission and that works fine. But if I do another submission quickly (within a few seconds), instead of working, it submits to itself with no fields so I get the front page back again, and no matter what I do, it keeps submitting with no fields. If I then reload the original PHP file not via POST and redo the first submission, the first submission works again and the second fails again.
However, if I do the first submission, and then sit there doing absolutely nothing for maybe 20-30 seconds, and then do the second submission, it works perfectly fine. If I again wait, the third submission works; otherwise, it submits like the first with no fields and messes up.
I tried this with and without HTTP headers to prevent caching, without effect.
Any ideas what's going on?
Edit: (And, to be clear, if I change POST method to GET method, it works flawlessly every time. But having the data appear in the URL is confusing and problematic for users, as well as severely complicating the process of bookmarking if the user decides in the middle of the calculation to make a bookmark. The bookmark should be to the beginning of the calculation, not the middle, because the calculation is time-sensitive so old data are useless and should not be re-produced.)

Do you want to submit Form#?

Not sure if I am doing something wrong but on my form I have a "Save Draft" button that will:
Set the column [Filename] if NUL
Set column [FinalizeNotice] to true (used to display a section with a message)
Submit using data connection to a SharePoint library
On a new form, if I use the Save Draft button I get prompted to "Do you want to submit form#? Is the form not saved/submitted complete via the rule on the button already? I can see in the library that the file is there and if I select
Don't Submit and reopen the file all the changes are there. Why is it prompting if there has not been any changes?
If I open the saved form from the library and make changes and use the Save Draft button it closes without the prompt, which is what I am expecting even on the new form. It is like the name to the form is not updating as I can see top ending of the InfoPath
filler is showing "Form## - Microsoft InfoPath" on a new form but it will show the actual filename on subsequent loads.

The new built-in method is to right-click the Back button, or click and hold, to drop down the history list. Someone created an add-on to restore the little drop-down icon if you prefer. (I haven't tried it myself.)

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]
You also mentioned that Firefox crashes, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it and select '''Submit'''.
(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

Users unable to submit form

I am having a problem with some of my users unable to submit forms. They can see the submit button but when they click on it nothing happens. I do not receive the data into my database and they do not recieve my automatic confirmation that they should get upon submission. Others have no problem. I've tested the link and seems to work fine for me in both IE and Firefox.

I am helping Shannon out with this one. I'm sorry to hear you are having problems.
I have tested your form, but everything looks fine from this end.
Can you provide some information about the users who are experiencing the problem? What operating system are they using? Windows 7? Windows XP? Mac? What browser and version are they using?
At the top of the form, does the user see the message 'Javascript is not enabled in your browser.'?
Try closing all instances of the browser, open the browser, clear the browser cache, and reload the form.
Try another browser.
Can you provide a screenshot of the form when the user experiences the problem?
Thanks,
-DevRandy

Upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0 - buttons missing to submit form

Hello everyone,
We have upgraded to LiveCycle ES2 from LiveCycle ES.
When we open the tasks via Workspace ES2, the buttons are missing to submit form. Buttons which should be there because "User must select a route to complete this task" option is selected; and it was working fine in version 8.2. There is only a submit button which appears on the form.
Could you advice about the case please?
Thanks in advance
Sedat,

Hi Sedat,
which version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader are you using? Seems that you're using Version 8.x, right?

Firefox won't even open now that I've installed Snagit - what can I do to fix this?

Today I bought and downloaded Snagit (TechSmith) for Macintosh. When the program was being installed it asked me if I wanted a nifty Firefox extension installed. I stupidly (as it turns out) agreed! Now, Firefox won't even open. I've tried restarting the computer and still no luck. How can I diagnose the problem with Firefox? (I know that I could just download Firefox again but I don't want to lose my many bookmarks etc.)
I opened the file in the Firefox Application folder that gives crash information and it mentioned Error Code 1?

After reboot firefox won't start. runs in task manager, but won't pop up. reset, safe mode and uninstall/re-install won't help. ok if no reboot.

win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.

There may be a corrupted file on Firefox.<br>
Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. <sup>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)]</sup> This is different than a regular uninstall.
If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode.<br>
To do so, please do the following:
#Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
#Press the power button
#Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
#Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
Please report back with the results of both solutions.

Tried to use Restore to return to pre-Firefox4 but now Firefox won't open and won't uninstall.

After trying to maneuver the new Firefox 4.0 for a while and giving up, I wanted to go back to the 3.6.1.6 version. I used the Restore feature to try to go back to the pre-Firefox 4.0 dowload. Since then, Firefox won't open. I have tried to uninstall Firefox 3.6.1.6, which is listed in my installed programs in the Control Panel, but it doesn't do anything. At this point I don't know what to do. I want to re-instate the 3.6.1.6 version on my computer. Thanks.

You're in a bit of a pickle here because you can't use System Restore to revert to 3.6.16. You probably now have version 1.9.2.x which is in part, files which were not removed when you installed FF4
What you can try and do is use System Resore to undo the last restoration which should take you back to 4.0 again. If that fails, see this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_firefox
If the undo restoration is successful, do the following to revert to 3.6.16
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] and download it to the desktop. If necessary, download the file with IE8 and choose to save it to your desktop when you see the prompt.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox''' at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

Firefox won't open; tried all I found on this site; can't get in to disable add-ons.

Firefox will not open. Little wheel spins, then disappears. Nothing.
Re-started computer - several times.
Reinstalled Firefox. Nothing. Can't open in Admin. Can't open with double click or with right-click "Open".
Many fixes on this site suggest going to the Firefox button to disable add-ons - of which I have few - however since Firefox won't start, I can't try these options.
Can't get to my profile. (Have not changed my profile or add-ons for ages.)
This seems to have happened right after the most recent update.
I've read everything I can find on this website and other places, and can't make it work.
Can't find old Firefox on program list, thus can't uninstall old version - perhaps this occurred automatically with new Firefox download?.
Ran Spybot and deleted some adware and mal-ware. Still nothing. Ran Microsoft Security - nothing.
I'm running Windows 7.
I can't open the troubleshooting file offered below.
Firefox was working well until yesterday. Sigh. Can anyone help with this?

You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe Mode</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
