Inserting HTML forms lose formating, how do I fix it

here is my question:
I have a customer with a pretty specific form they want to use, it has invoice numbers auto generated, drop down list with specific equipment etc. I have been able to isolate the form code from the old site and paste it into muse. but the submit and reset buttons at the bottom don't show up correctly. I tested this using a tutorial found here http://www.sitepoint.com/style-web-forms-css/ , I pasted the same code in a sample page in muse and the same thing comes up, the submit button is no longer a submit button just a gray box with text. if you just creat a txt file, insurt the code and save as HTML it is fine, but once in Muse it changes something, not sure how to fix. it works and submits but looses the formating I tried to use the formating in the tutrial and nothing happend. Any ideas of what I can do to fix this. not sure if I am missing a step, but seams pretty simple, copy, paste and done. if needed add a little formating through css and done, but that desn't seem to work, just like in the tutorial on the site above. my customers test site is http://www.selectpos.com/temp/advanced-exchange-request.html, the boxes around the submit and reset are just that boxes I drew in, that is a pretty bad attempt at a fix. An issue for this is it looks good in IE but other web browsers the boxes move around.
Any help suggestions, tips or direction is greatly apprecated.

I have the exact same problem, the coding works but muse renders the code and adds an uglyness to it.. why is that so? Could it be that we are using html into a html5 site (muse uses html5)?
Unfortunately I don't have a simple solution to this. my example: http://www.bennstroms.se

Insert html form tag inside another form tag

Hi all, this is my issue. I have a xhtml page structured as following:
<h:form id="mainForm">
....... some stuff........
<form id="fileForm" action="myServlet" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" onchange="fileForm.submit()" />
</form>
</h:form>
When uploading a file, I wanna submit only 'fileForm'. But "fileForm.submit()" doesn't work because fileFom is null. Looking at the page source, I realized that only one form is seen client-side (the mainForm):
<form id="mainForm">
....... some stuff........
<input type="file" onchange="fileForm.submit()" />
</form>
Any idea on how to implement it?
Thanks in advance...

I think so too.
I tried creating a custom fileUploader component but, as expected, it didn't work.
Here http://balusc.blogspot.com/2009/12/uploading-files-with-jsf-20-and-servlet.html they create a completely custom renderer which would solve my issue but it works only with j2ee6 and for company reason I must use j2ee5.
I think I have to refactor the page and figure out a new approach.
Thanks for your reply.

Smartview Forms Lose Formatting

We have had occasional complaints from users that the formatting in their Smartview-based webforms will disappear (ie. no Green/Yellow cells, etc), and they either need to restart Excel or their computers to get it to come back. When those users send the Excel document to others, the formatting returns when those users hit refresh. The "Use Excel Formatting" option doesn't seem to affect this issue one way or the other -- that simply adds/removes the thick grey cell borders. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any suggestions for resolving?

- Losing the EXCEL formatting after Zoom In, PIVOT, Undo or Redo operations even if "preserve excel formatting" option is set is expected behavior. This is described in “Using Excel Formatting” on page 209 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/sv_user.pdf and also on page 215 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/sv_user.pdf. It states that member and numeric formats may unexpectedly change after pivot operations.
- Smart View does preserve the formatting on the worksheet between operations. Use Excel Formatting is supported for refresh and submit actions but not for zoom or pivot operations.
It is confirmed that when "Use Excel Formatting" is enabled, formats are preserved only for Refresh and Submit. Undo or any other operation will cause the formatting to be overwritten. So, one could disable "Use Excel Formatting" and use Smart View style to select formats for members and data status.

Iphoto won't let me download my photos because they don't have the right format, how do I fix this?

I tried downloading photos onto iphoto from my camera but anytime I would try to import an of the images it would stop and say that the format was unreconizable and that it couldn't download it. I'm really frusterated by it and need help, I'm computer stupid.

It sounds like you're trying to import raw images from an unsupported camera. Check the page linked below to see whether your camera is supported:

Can you see other pictures like wallpaper in normal mode?
Did you check the format of the photos you synced through iTunes?

Windows Vista home premium has reverted to old format - how can i fix this?

On Tuesday I turned on my laptop to discover that windows vista home premium had reverted to the old style. I'm using a Toshiba laptop (Satellite). The toolbars are now grey and the circular start logo has been replaced with the old rectangle, the dialogue
boxes are old style too.
I was prompted to install the service pack 2 which I did smoothly but no change and then today I was prompted to install a further 59 updates which I did and after restarting my laptop still no change.
I've ran a virus check and no threats were found. I've also deleted some stuff off my laptop and tried to clear it out but no change.
I'm not very technicallly minded but would really like this fixed. Any suggestions?

You mean the ones like Windows 2000, where windows and dialog boxes have grey backgrounds and dark blue colour in titlebar?
If yes, somehow the Windows theme might have been switched to Windows Classic.
Right-click an empty area on the Desktop > Personalize. Now select Theme under Personalization. In the
Theme Settings window, select "Windows Vista" theme from the dropdown. Click OK to apply the theme.

How to get date from html form through php to show table from oracle sql

I have a form method post.Also an input date like input date (html 5,the one that picks the date from a window below)
I want to take the date the user inputs and use it in a php which contains a contains a select statement that is like that $stid = DBExecute($conn, "select customer_name,product_name,order_date,quantity and ends like this.. and order_date>='".$_POST['date']."'");
Then i have echo "<table....
And while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid, OCI_ASSOC)) {......
But I have a problem on that. No results shown. Why?
Does anybody know to help me?
What value the date input gives in HTML5 and in which format? How can i fix that?

There's not enough info posted to help. Do some googling. Do some debugging - add some 'var_dump' calls in PHP to check everything
e.g. var_dump($_POST);
And never, ever, ever do concatenation like you do with $_POST to build up a query string. This is a major "SQL Injection" security risk.
instead, use an OCI8 bind variable. See PHP: OCI8 - Manual

How to fill in a PDF form after client fills in HTML form

i guess i need to try this a second time.
i have been to numerous sites where they ask a user to fill in lot of fields with a html web form, and then when all done all that filled in data gets transferred into PDF forms for the client to print out, ertc
tyopical sites i have seen this with are brokerage accounts for stock and commodities. all the major houses use this format, along with electronic signatures, etc ec etc
so, the client fills out an html form, presses enter, and voila a pdf form shows up with all *its* fields filled in with the information the client supplied in the html form.
this is what i am trying to figure out how to do. i have been searching the internet for 10 days now, about 4 hrs a day on this and i still have not found the code for this
my site is PHP, but java i guess would work as well.
any way, i am getting way behind on this project and if anybody knows where the code is to make this hapen at my site i'd be grateful to find out :)
THANKS!!!

Does anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this as we are keen to introduce this option on our own online forms?

How to reference html form element in javascript ?

Dear all,
My DPK portlet is like this:
I created a html form within it there a several textfields, a hidden field and a SUBMIT button.
The application will call itself to insert a new record to database table on pressing the SUBMIT button.
My problem is that since all the form textfields and the hidden field ara all the qualified names, and I want to set the hidden field to some value, say "ADD" on the onsubmit event in the form. How can I reference the hidden field in javascript ?
Or can you suggest another strategy to do that ?
Many thanks
