Help with form validation

Hi,
I am new to dreamweaver and I need to create a site for the
cafe I work for. I tried to make a form for making reservations
online. I made a table and put the fileds inside it. It looks
great. However, when I preview it in the browser, a javascript
error message pops up and tells me that all the forms are required
AS SOON AS I CLICK THE FORM TO START TYPIng. ALl forms ARE required
but I want the message to come up only after clicking submit.
Please help.
Also, if anyone has an easy way to send the form infomation
via email, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aaron

Check the behaviors panel, your validation script is probably
set to fire onFocus, in design view click on the form button, then
set the 'Validate Form' behavior to onClick, you can select it from
the menu. When you set the behavior most of the time DW changes to
onFocus evan though you select onCLick.
What scripting language are you using ASP PHP CFM, there are
lots of products you can buy for emailing form data or look at some
tutorials online.

Help with date validation on input boxes.

I need some help with date validation on input boxes.
What I�m trying to create is a form where a user inputs dates and then the rest of the form calculates the other dates for them.
i.e. � A user inputs 2 dates (A & B) and then a 3rd date which is 11 weeks before date B is calculated automatically.
Is this possible and if so how do I do it ???
Thanks

Hi,
to get third date try this:
java.util.Date bDate = ...;
Calendar yourCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
yourCalendar.setTime(bDate);
yourCalendar.roll(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, -11);
java.util.Date cDate = yourCalendar.getTime();Regards

Help with forms in Acrobat 9

Using XP and Acrobat 9 Standard:
I have three questions about working with forms that I don't find answered anywhere.
1. Can I edit the info in the Document Message Bar? If so how?
2. Can I join form fields? I want to combine a short text field on one line with a longer text field on the next line so that the info will wrap to the 2nd line. For instance, there is a short question with the rest that line being blank. Then the next line is across the whole page. I want the top line to continue onto the 2nd line. I understand checking the multi-line option in preferences for a form field that is deep enough to hold several lines, but I want that short line to be included also.
One of my problems may be that I need to have the form available with hard lines for hand completion and also available for those who want to complete it online.
3. Once I make a form that can be completed online, do I have to 'distribute' it? I just want to upload it to a website so members can download, complete and email as an attachment. Do I have to do anything special to accomplish this?
Thanks for your help.
KW

Thanks Chris - That did EXACTLY what I wanted it to do.
I was able to create a button that prompts the user to save the form, then it hides the price fields, then it flattens, then it e-mails the form. The order was important since I wanted the salesperson to be able to save the "not-flattened" form.

Help with form sending the data to email

I have looked all over the Internet for help with this. I have tried numerous video tutorials and for some reason I can't get it to work. I have created a form in flash cs4 AS2. It is a contact information form where the user fills out their information and sends it. I have created a the form in a movie clip (I have also tried it not in a movie clip) with the form components inside that movie clip. I have given each component on the form an instance name.
The form has:
Full name (with instance name=name)
Company (with IN =company)
Title (with IN = title)
Phone (with IN = phone)
Email (with IN = email)
Topic combobox (with IN=topic)
Message box (with IN=msg)
Submit button (with IN=submit)
I need help with the actionscript writing. I am VERY new to flash and have never done any scripting really. Does anyone have a sample file I can look at to see how it works or can someone IM me and I can send my file for them to help me?
My IM is logan3975
Any help is greatly appreciated. I consider myself a pretty technical person so I do learn quick...I just need some guidance until I wrap my head around how this all works. Thanks.

Here's a link to a posting elsewhere some had had that may provide some useful info (?)

Heed Help With Form Layout

Hi all
I am developing a j2me program that need display photos on a form like a photo gallery. I use image item to hold the resized photos on a form.
What I want is to display 3 photos in a row, like this
x x x

the programm is working fine on the emulator and nokia phone, but when I try on a Windows Mobile phone (HTC the JVM is Jbed) , It only display one photo in a row, like this

No matter what layout option and the size of photos, it only display one photo in a row
I really need help with this

The only way to get more consistent behavior across devices is to use the low level API -- Canvas, not Form. You cannot interfere with device-dependent implementations of the layout of a Form.

Need help with Forms 6 on 11g

Hello all,
I wonder if anyone has come across this issue. I'll try to explain this as best as I can. We just migrated/upgraded our database from a SUSe9 (32 bit) Oracle 9.2.0.7 configuration to a Redhat 5.3 64 bit. We were running Oracle Forms 6 on certain desktops which connected fine against our version 9 databse. I am now experiencing the following error message after I enter my user ID, password and Database: ORA-02248: Invalid option for ALTER SESSION. Now, I may be facing the issue of an outdated forms application trying to interface with 11g. I heard this version 6 did work on Oracle 10g, but some folks may be having issues on 11g, like myself. Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

As Jan Carlin noted, it is not a certified combination (using 6i against 11g) and I hope you understand what the consequences are if you are using a non-certified combination in a production environment.
But, if you really really want to use 6i(with ps 18) against the 11g database server, the answer is YES it is working with the following workaround. I believe I am the first one found and reported the issue on OTN when I was testing our 6i and 10gR2 forms application against the 11g database server. The issue is also applicable to 10gR2 forms against 11g database as well as 6i forms.
Here is the workaround:
==============================================================
Oracle 11g database has a new parameter
SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON (case sensitive password enabled for logon) - default is
TRUE. Forms built-in "OPEN_FORM (...SESSION)" uses password in capital letters by
default. There are two workarounds that solves this problem with Forms agains 11g
database server. Either use the Oracle sqlplus command (login as system): alter user <your OraUser>
identified by YOUR_PASSWORD (use your own Oracle user name and password - be careful to use capital
letters for the password) or set the SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON database parameter to
FALSE (do not forget to change the parameter for the spfile as for the current session). This
parameter can be changed by using the Oracle Enterprise Manager GUI (refer to your Oracle
database server documentation for details).
Hope this proves useful.

Need help regarding form validation

Hi all,
I have particular doubt regarding form validation. I have a form based on a table. ( One data block ) . I have a function in program unit which return boolean value based on some conditions. I will be calling this function in block validate trigger.
What i need is , if function return false i need to stop any insertion,updation action that's going to be done by forms.( point to control insertion and updation)
I don't want to use form triggure failure builtin. What should i do ? plz guide
regards

what are you going to do stop insert/update upon commit?
-- use on-insert trigger
if allowed_to_insert then
insert_record;
end if;
-- use on-update trigger
if allowed_to_update then
update_record;
end if;
if when entering data, you might want to check set_block_property

JSF Newbie: help with forms & drop-downs

Hi,
I've managed to get a few simple things working with JSF using Netbeans & Visual Web pack. This is pretty sexy stuff for a grizzled old perl programmer. However, there are still a few things I'm having trouble getting through my thick head -- maybe some kind soul could point me in the right direction.
I would like to have a couple of cascading data-bound drop-downs: dd1 provides a selection list for dd2, and the combination of dd1 and dd2, when selected, provides enough data to populate a webuijsf:table.
The desired behaviour is that a change in dd1 repopulates the selection list for dd2 and furthermore, repopulates the table based on the selected value in dd1 plus the first value in the selection list of dd2. A change of selection in dd2 repopulates the table accordingly.
My prerender() for the page checks if dd1.getSelected == null, and if so, sets the cursor to the first row in the bound data provider. Furthermore, it primes the rowset for dd2 with some rows from dd2's data provider based on the values in the first row for dd1.
The first time through, everything is peachy: dd1 has the appropriate selection list, as does dd2. my webuijsf:table also has the appropriate rows (selected in the prerender()).
My problem seems to be that when a new value is selected in dd2, dd1.getSelected == null at the next prerender(). This, of course, re-primes dd2, wiping out its selection.
So, obviously, I don't really understand what I'm doing well enough to see how to do this. The visual web pack tutorials, where I started, really don't provide adequate explanation of what's going on, and the chapter on JSF in the J2EE tutorial is still a little abstract for me.
I would be forever indebted if somebody could please provide a pointer to a resource (preferably something a perl programmer can afford ;-) that could help me understand, in concrete terms, how a form, and the elements on the form (and their events), are processed.
Also, and as an aside, am I alone in thinking the whole Java thing is tremendously complex? I'm not talking about the Java language, which I find pretty intuitive, but the zillions of J* stuff around it, which seems somewhat dense. I really do want to learn this stuff, but it's pretty bewildering!
Thanks!
Regards,
Mike

Normally I would tell you to inject the PersonController bean into the PersonSelectionListener bean as a managed property. Then drill into the bean to get the data you need.
However, in this case you are dealing with a value change listener. Value change events are fired at the end of the Process Validations phase, before the Update Model Values phase. So in this case, the PersonController bean will not contain the selected person from the request. This is not a problem however, since the new value is passed via the ValueChangeEvent object.

PHP Help with Forms

Hey everyone -
I have a quote form on my website that I'd like to tweak a
bit. There are
some fields that have a drop-down box of "Yes" or "No" and
directly after
that it says, "If Yes, ..." So, no matter which option is
chosen, the user
still sees that even if it doesn't apply to them - which I'm
OKAY with for
the time being, but wish to implement it differently.
If the user selects "Yes" - I'd like the the field that says
the question I
*need* to ask the user if they choose "Yes." If they select
"No," than the
box is never shown. Sounds simple enough, right? Right ...
My concern is a). how to show this hide/don't hide
functionality, and b).
how to validate (require) the box being "shown" if they
choose "Yes" and to
NOT validate (require) if they choose "No."
I'm going to upload a .html file to my server that has the
full code for my
quote.php page in plain text, so someone can help me
implement this.
Quote source code:
http://www.avenuedesigners.com/tests/quote_source.html
I colored the big chunks of PHP code red, and the form blue
for ease.
I've tried something like this:
<?php
if ($_POST['havewebsite'] == "Yes") {
echo ('<p class="labelbold">If yes, What is the Domain
Name?</p>
<input name="currentdomain" type="text"
class="contactfield2 inputstyled"
id="currentdomain" value="<?php if
(isset($_POST[\'currentdomain\'])) echo
htmlentities($_POST[\'currentdomain\']);?>" tabindex="11"
/>');
?>
And run into two problems:
1. It only shows up when the page is submitted, and I'm
naturally assuming
this is because of the $_POST being in there. I need it to
display
immediately if they select "Yes."
2. It physically prints out: <?php if
(isset($_POST[\'currentdomain\']))
echo htmlentities($_POST[\'currentdomain\']);?> - as the
value of the
textfield instead of leaving it blank/printing the previously
entered text.
How can I fix these, guys? Thank you!

you can apply a show-hide layer behavior to the YES check box
(onClick="MM_ShowHideLayers...)
and have the inverse show;hide behavior applied toi the NO
checkbox.
Once you have a Layer on your page and have applied the
behavior, you change that Layer into a
regular div by the way, just leave the same id.
Then, for validating the question only if yes is selected:
<?php
if ($_POST['have_a_website'] == 'yes' &&
empty($_POST['question'])){
$error = TRUE;
?>

Help with Form F110_US_DTA for ACH file to be sent to bank

Hi ppl,
I'm implementing new house bank in the system for ACH payments
the NACHA file format for that bank is given to me.
the bank's needs a variation in the format.
they want effective entry date in the Batch Header Record 5, Pos 70-75 to be greater than the Creation Date located in the File Header Record 1
Im using the form F110_US_DTA for the file that is to be generated to sent to bank
How Do I make changes to this form to satisfy the requirement
Or basically where do I change the format of forms like F110_US_DTA etc..
What is T-code for that...
Thank You Very much
your help will be appreciated
Also tell me how can I assign you points..

An ACH NACHA file has the following components..
File Header Record(1)
This gain has many fileds like Record type code, priority code, immediate destination etc
Batch header Record(5)
Record type code, company Identification
Entry Detail Record(6)
Transactioncode, Check digit etc
Addenda Record(7)
Record Type Code...etc
Batch Control Record(8)
File Control Record(9)
Batch Count, block count etc...
Now This is the Layout which the company wants to implement
The commpany is already using an ACH file for an old bank.
But wants to implement a New Bank with a lil variation of old NACHA format
In SAP where can I set these fields or parameters.....
for some programs I can goto System->Status and double click on program and goto ABAP editor and change fields.
But for this ACH where can go and set the parameters according to requirements
There is actually one more requirement...
In the ACH file The New banks wants the
File Creation Date (It is entry in field no 5 of File Header Record(1) of ACH file)
this date should be less than Effective Entry DAte (It is an entry in Field no 9 in Batch Header Record(5))

Help with form

Currently I have a 30+ page website i created in CS4 Dreamweaver. I really like it but we are tired of using the Aweber forms for a RFQ.
I see where i can create the form in forms insert in DW but having difficulty finding how to assign a MAILTO when they complete it and want them to be able to attach a drawing or spec to their quote.
We use Godaddy as host server so i think its PHP (windows) and want the form to go to a general RFQ email address everytime.
Any help would be appreciated. I can give our site url to look around or would would be willing to compensate someone to take on this task.
To me - this is a weeks worth of work and another week headache. to most pros. its probably less then an hour.
Let me know how to proceed or what is best. is there a product available with template i can use and modify?

First check with your host to see which server-side
programming languages
and/or formmailer scripts they support. Some hosts (GoDaddy
shared hosting
for example) may limit you to using only their scripts which
you must
activate via your account's admin panel.
If your server supports PHP and you can use 3rd party
scripts, I highly
recommend this one from DB Masters. It hides your address
from prying eye
email harvesters and has some pretty nifty spam control
methods built in.
Free to use if you credit the author; $20 if you don't.

Help with form submissions

Im pretty new to Dreamweaver and also form making as well and
I am trying to put together something for my work. We are presently
using Outlook eforms to handle internal paperwork, including the
one I am trying to get to the web. Which is a Employee/ Equipment
movement form... kind of a MAC.
Anyway, the questions I have is with the Submit button. What
I want to do with it is to both email the layout (including the
information input) and also try to connect it to a database so we
can look at the data down the line. We have been hammered by
auditors over this process (outlook eform).
Esentially what we do when recieving this form is transfer
the data to a Helpdesk Ticketing system and send the account and
equipment requests to the proper departments.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The site address is
http://www.cormarant.com/work
and the specific page Im working on is
http://www.cormarant.com/work/new_hire/main/merchant/merchant.html
Thanks much!!

I'm starting to understand a little bit more. At first when I
viewed your site and saw stuff for new hires and transfers of
employees, my first thought is that you need to look in the
direction of something like PeopleSoft (made by Oracle -which btw
have plenty of other database applications).
But then I saw your other form and it appears that
organization is a key thing and that your forms are not what you
want them to be. However, by the looks of what you have it does not
appear that this is, or should be, running on a public web server.
Instead it appears, and correct me if I am wrong, that this would
go on a local intranet site.
Plus the fact that you don't have a database standard working
and seeing how you manually enter the forms into your help desk I
almost think implementing a full database structure might be
premature and costly to your business.
Have you considered looking at publishing interactive PDF
forms? I really think you should sit down and evaluate some of
Adobe's programs with Acrobat to see if you can utilize that:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/detail/create_form.html
See that link. You would create an interactive PDF form which
users could quickly edit and submit (even via local intranet) and
then submit it to someone who will enter this information into the
Helpdesk. Plus you would have the saved PDF document which is much
more secure than the eforms and it would hopefully allow you to
increase your workflow. This would mean purchasing at least 1 copy
of Acrobat Pro if your copy does not already own it.
And as much criticism as this may draw here. If you just need
to set up a lot of these forms for people to work with in this
manner, it might even be a good idea to look into a Microsoft
Sharepoint Site (you would need MS Sharepoint Designer to make the
site though). Because this is what Sharepoint is for. To share
documents that can be saved, submitted and sent around so that all
users can view the documents they need to.
I'm just worried that you are going about this in a manner
that might not be much more productive. Otherwise you would need to
get a component that would turn the form submission into a PDF
document since you can't just save it as you see it on the screen
in any other way, and then you would need to go through the whole
process of putting everything into a database. I really think a
pre-made application or process as I described above with Acrobat
would be much easier for your company to implement and might be a
better solution for the near-term outlook.

Need help with Forms on iPad

I am trying to view and submit forms on my iPad. I've created a form in LiveCycle and emailed it to myself but I am unable to view or open the PDF form with the Adobe Reader app. Please help!

Hi Randy - I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5 and when I try to create a new form a pop-up comes up saying that the form will be edited in Adobe LiveCycle designer and that Adobe Acrobat will close. I do not have the option to stay in Adobe Acrobat. Any idea how to stay in Adobe Acrobat instead of moving into LiveCycle?

Help with Forms/Educational Features of Multisim

Hi,
I'm trying to make use of the forms feature of Multisim, where instructors can create forms & students submit their completed assignment through email. I've followed the procedures in the Multisim user manual, but I keep getting a "command line argument is not valid" message. I've googled the message and it appears that the error message is because the "/unregserver" and "/regserver" switch is no longer valid for Outlook 2003. Is there a workaround that I can use?
My 2nd question is: is there a guided tutorial or sample circuit that uses these features in Multisim that I can refer to?
thanks,
Steven

Steven, we have been trying to reproduce this error in order to fix it, however we have not been able to. We have used Outlook 2003, 2007 and Express 6, as well as Lotus Notes 8.
The /unregserver or /regserver commands are not used by our API, so that's not the origin of the problem. We use two protocols, the regular MAPISendMail() from the OS and if that one fails we then use the "mailto:" from html. So both failed in your system.
Would it be possible for you to:
a) Attach the circuit file that is failing.
b) Are you using a file path with spaces? Can you try without spaces? (e.g. C:\mycircuit.ms11), it should work with or without spaces in the file name but is good to try.
c) Are you using Windows in English?
d) Which version of Multisim are you using?
e) If you click on any website that has a "mail to:" link, does it opens Outlook correctly?
Cheers,
Nestor
