HTML Forms, Mailto and Goto URL Behavior

I know just the basics of HTML Programming. Anyway, in
Dreamweaver MX, I've created a form with the Action as
mailto:myemailaddress Method: Post and Enctype: text/plain If that
is all I do, when the form is filled out and the user hits submit,
I get the results....no problem. But, I want the user to know that
their submission went through, so instead of the page standing
still after the submit button is hit, I added to Go to URL
behavavior so that when they hit submit, it takes them to a thank
you page. Unfortunately, when I do that, the mailto no longer seems
to work. Any suggestions?

mailto: isn't going to work reliably.
using a server side script is the way to go.
first- check your host's FAQ/Support section for info about
preinstalled
scripts. If hosting has a control panel or CPanel, look in
there.
if no preinstalled script, if you can use php i suggest
phpformmail from

Address bar suggestion drop down no longer accepts a left click to auto complete and goto url, instead left click is forcing a generic search.

Using firefox 31.0, following update I seem to no longer be able to left click a suggested url for it to auto-complete and GOTO...
I am happy to recheck all about:config again, as part of getting to the route of this "issue", ..
In fact I will try anything, I have tried a fresh install of firefox, this has not worked, however the "feature" I am trying to describe still works under safe mode, which means I think that there has to be something that is incorrect in my config.
Thank you all in advance for any pointers tips... and possible resolve offered.

Hi ScoobTheNoob,
I am bad a rhyming, but Safe Mode essentially only disables add ons. I would disable them one by one to find the culprit.

How to use html form actions and methods

Hi, I want to make a quick contact page using Edge. I used the following code in my creationComplete but had no luck. Any help?
var na = sym.$( "email" );
email.html( '<form action="send_mail.php" method="post"><input type="text" id="email" value="" />' );
var button = sym.$( "btn" );
button.html( '<input type="submit" value="Send" />' );

My understanding from your question is that you would like to programmatically (using LabVIEW) send input to and click a button on an existing HTML website, is that right?
If yes, then you can use ActiveX calls to embed a web browser into the front panel of your VI and then use its invoke node to input a text to a form or click a button. Another way is to use the lower-level TCP VIs in LabVIEW, but you need to understand HTTP protocols to successfully use this. See below examples to get started.
ActiveX
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-25396
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-12454
TCP VIs (HTTP)

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3153
FYI, LabVIEW Internet Toolkit has been deprecated starting LabVIEW 2012, so it is not recommended to build a new application using that.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Try to insert the embed code inside one of your <div> tags say the div-content tag after your <p>..</p> tags.
The embed code should work inside <div> ... </div> tags according to the layout defined there.
Thanks,

Creating an HTML Form - Fieldset and Legend problem.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to build an HTML/CSS form from scratch.
However, I want to bring the legend within the fieldset rather then the legend sitting on the fieldset.
To get this done, I gave the fieldset a top padding and the legend an absolute position. However the fieldset appeared to have a break as indicated in the red circle of the below image. How can I close or prevent this gap/break?
Here is the complete code.
<style type="text/css">
form{
     margin: 0;
     padding: 0;
     font-family: "Century Gothic";
     font-weight: bold;
     font-size: 16px;
legend span{
     position: absolute;
     top: 30px;
fieldset{
     background-color: #EAEAEA;
     padding-top: 60px;
div{
     width: 100%;
     margin: 0 0 5px 0;
     padding: 0;
label {
     float: left;
     width: 160px;
     margin-right: 16px;
     text-align: right;
     margin-top: 5px;
.UserFirstNameField, .UserLastNameField, .UserEmailField, .UserPhoneNumberField{
     width: 200px;
     padding: 4px;
     font-family: "Century Gothic";
     font-weight: bold;
     font-size: 16px;
     color: #F90;
     background-image: url(DFormsImages/Form-Fields-Background-Image.png);
     background-repeat: repeat-x;
     background-position: left center;
     border: 1px solid #D5D5D5;
</style>

</head>
<body>
<form id="BasicForm" class="BasicFormTemplate" method="post" action="">
<fieldset>
<legend><span>Personal Information</span></legend>
<div>
<label for="UserFirstName">First Name:</label>
<input id="FirstNameInput" name="UserFirstName" class="UserFirstNameField" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="UserLastName">Last Name:</label>
<input id="LastNameInput" name="LastName" class="UserLastNameField" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="UserEmail">Email:</label>
<input id="UserEmailInput" name="UserEmail" class="UserEmailField" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="UserPhoneNumber">Phone Number:</label>
<input id="UserPhoneNumberInput" name="UserPhoneNumber" class="UserPhoneNumberField" type="text" />
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Thanks everyone!

Good day Murray,
What I did was give the legend a zero padding.
legend{ padding: 0; }
and the gap was removed.
I tested in IE7, Firefox 3.6.6, Safari 5.0 and Opera 10.60 and it works very well.
I have not tested it in IE 6.
However, I also used the method from the article you provided, it also works well and I will also use that as an alternative when needed for another fix.
Thanks for your valuable help as always.

"HTML form encoding" vs RFC2396

J2SE 6 documentation for the Class URL.stated that: The URLEncoder and URLDecoder classes can also be used, but only for HTML form encoding, which is not the same as the encoding scheme defined in RFC2396.
What is the meaning of "HTML form encoding"?
What is the difference between "HTML form encoding" and RFC2396?

Form encoding is what you do to arguments in an HTTP POST request. Why they called the classes concerned URLEncoder/Decoder is a mystery.

Save pdf form as a html form

Hi everybody,
I have a form which I just made in Adobe Acrobat pro XI (Windows 7 Professional N 64bit). I would like to save it as an HTML form (or at least users should be able to open it directly in browser and fill it out - saving it is NOT necessary).
I tried so far:
1. FILE --> SAVE AS OTHERS --> HTML WEB PAGE
but it actually kind of prints the pdf form as image, which should not happen. Text ist also scrambled across the page without meaning.
2. converting it online to HTML but the buttons disappear. Text is in the right place but no buttons (radio buttons for ex. or text field).
Is there a way to "convert" the pdf form to html "form"? And if yes, how can I do it?
Thank you very much.

I create HTML forms by hand coding, so I cannot recommend any specific apps. Most now suffer from being too complicated.
I think you need to forget the idea of converting a PDF form (nicely laid out, attractive) to a similar HTML forms. HTML forms are basic, functional, ugly and do not have a fixed layout. A conversion tool will not magically overcome this limitation.

How to make embedded HTML form look normal?

Hello,
In Muse, if I Insert HTML code with:
<form action="action_page.php">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
<br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
…the form is displayed in my Muse page. However, it doesn't look normal, meaning:
- The text fields have no border and appear to be invisible until you start typing in them.
- The Submit button size is minimal, wrapping tightly around the text, and there is no border or bevel.
* I have experimented with specifying an HTML border and width in the above code, with no change in results.
Basically, this HTML code looks normal in a regular .html page. However, in a Muse page (with Insert HTML), the visual appearance of the form elements looks abnormal… stripped-down.
Can anyone suggest a way to add HTML form content and make it look correct? I don't want to use the Muse Form Widgets, because they all "require" the email field, and I don't want that capability. Thanks for any suggestions.

I answered my own problem.
It seems that the solution is having knowledge of CSS, which I don't. That's what Muse is supposed to provide, and I'm not a CSS expert.
At http://www.ronpershing.com/blog/how-to-make-a-custom-contact-form-in-adobe-muse/ , Ron Pershing gives some very simple code on making it all work with Muse. I'm not affiliated with him or his website, but since he was kind enough to publish a solution, his work should get some attention.

HTML Form-like behavior in Flash

Hello,
I'm looking to find a reference that can help me in the
creation of Flash user input screens that behave in a manner
analogous to an HTML form. Specifically I'm concerned with error
checking and data validation. For example, if a user is creating a
new record or editing an existing record and they choose to
navigate away from the page, the code should check for data
changes, and on finding any offer the user an option to save the
data. Once the offer is made and responded to the flow of the
application should proceed appropriately.
In an HTML form this type of behavior would be accomplished
with an appropriately worded JavaScript "confirm" dialog. This
dialog allows for a synchronous interaction between the user and
the flow of the JavaScript code in which user choice results in how
the code flow proceeds. With Flash, such a synchronous event is not
inherently possible (to the best of my admittedly limited
experience). Without this type of "confirm" dialog, one must create
a custom messaging system to communicate with the user, and must
also structure the code in such a way that everything is able to
achieve the desired effects in an asynchronous manner.
I've tried searching this forum but I don't know how to
phrase my search in order to find good results. If anyone has any
ideas, links to resources, links to threads, or any other items
that might help in my quest to build fully optimized and robust
user input forms in Flash CS3, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Dave

Why not just use a DataGrid component? They're pretty easy to
use actually.
Try this: start a new AS2 project and drag a DataGrid from
the components
panel onto the stage. Use the properties panel to size it to
500 x 300. When
you add data to a grid it will just show a scroll bar if
necessary, it
doesn't resize... Give it an instance name of "theGrid".
Now, add the following script to the frame:
import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;
function doGrid(gridRef, gArray:Array)
for (var i = 0; i < gArray.length; i++) {
var cat:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn(gArray
[0]);
cat.width = gArray[2];
cat.headerText = gArray
[1];
cat.editable = false;
gridRef.addColumn(cat);
var gFormat = new Array(["fname", "First Name:", 120],
["lname", "Last
Name:", 200], ["date", "Win Date:", 80]);
doGrid(theGrid, gFormat);
If you compile now, you'll see the grid with the field
titles... I use the
doGrid function, and an array like this to make formatting
the grid easy.
The first item in the array matches the dataProvider
property, as you will
see in a moment - the second is the title, and the third the
width of the
column... change these as you need.
To add data, you just create an array of objects, with the
object properties
matching the first item in the format array - like so - add
the following
and test again:
var gridData = new Array({fname:"Dave", lname:"Mennenoh",
date:"09/14/08"},
{fname:"giga", lname:"saurus", date:"10/14/08"});
theGrid.dataProvider = gridData;
That's all there is to it... If you add more data than can be
shown, you'll
get a scroll bar. You can add en event listener to know when
someone selects
an item, etc...
good luck

Receive HTML form redirected to a procedure "URL"

Hi there,
can I receive a posted "html" form inside a procedure?
here is what I mean:
I used to have a URL that is actually a procedure, which draw HTML page using the htp package,
the URL is 4 example : http://www.somehost.domain/proc_name?p1=...&p2=...
the procedure is defined as follows :
create or replace procedure proc_name(p1 varchar2, p2 varchar2) is
begin
-- the code
end;HTML page posts a form with two parameters p1 and p2 will direct to the page defined and processed by the "proc_name",
but how can I have the request received into this procedure and then get the parameters,
that analogues to what java's developers can, get the request and then extract the parameters from it.
I need this because the form directed to the procedure actually use some action map to back the parameters and then redirect to my procedure.
any suggestions please ! help is appreciated.
Best Regards,
Edited by: Knowledgestudent on May 12, 2010 10:28 PM

Values for Parameter variable (p1 and p2 in this case) will be inside the procedure.

Navigate to System Administrator responsibility > Profile > System. Search for the profile MO: Operating Unit and under responsibility field, put in the responsibility name you are using for creating the service request, click OK and enter the desired operating unit value in the next window. It pulls up all operating units defined and you can chose the desired one.
