Iweb's email me button
Can I change the text associated with this button? Can I also make the text bigger?
Not with the iWeb button but you can add email links with any font and size you'd like. See this demo page: 2 ways to encode an email address.
Or you can use an email icon/image of your choosing and link it to your email address with the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane:

Subject line in Email Me button won't reset
I have been using a textbox as a substitute for the Email Me button, I like the look of my own text better. Now I want to change the subject line in the emails I get from people using this link, but no matter how I try, I can't get iWeb to publish the changes I make.
So far I have tried: removing the existing button, saving, publishing and then re-creating the email button using Inspector to assign the address and subject line. Then I save again, and re-publish. The change in email address works, but the subject line remains the original. Seems like a minor point, but I don't want that subject line going to the email address. In the future, I might use an email link to send mail to somebody else, and that would require a different subject line as well.
Suggestions?
BryanSorry, I figured it out. I was "re-creating" the text box by copying the original text in order to keep the font. When I tried the procedure starting from scratch, voila - new, accurate Email Me button.

My wife and I have a main page and both have blogs. I want her email me button to be to her, not to mine! Why are there not more settings in general in iWeb? It feels very limited, more like a beta program.
Try Again, Apple. It shows promise with the integration and all, but it needs some major detail work. Let it be a point update so we early adopters don't get the shot end.I just figured something out using Keynote. If you have a white page it would probably work great, if you don't, well, you see what it does on my page

If you're on a Mac, it "should" show up with the proper transparency. On a PC, the space reserved for the QuickTime controls is white so there's a white area immediately under the eMail button.
As far as I know (and someone correct me so I can remove this spambots aren't trolling through QuickTime movies searching for addresses, so you get to have a one click email opener and a safe address (with the downside of the mentioned white area).
Anyone know if I'm going to start getting a lot of spam with this?!? -
"Email Me" button in weird position.
Hi there,
I'm facing some troubles with the "Email Me" button position on a some of my pages but not all. When I do insert one, once my pages uploaded on my server (I don't use .Mac to host), sometimes it shows up exactly where I positioned it using the iWeb app but at other times, the button is all over the place, either to high, to low, to the left or the right. Well, somewhere I don't expect it to be.
I'm not at all a webmaster and so don't understand what's wrong and don't know if it's possible to fix this.
Is somebody out there with answers and fixes?
Thanks.
Vonz.Thanks for your reply 749mate.
Yes, I have tried to delete the button and insert it back again but it didn't solve the problem.
Below are links to some of my website pages fo you to check out:
http://yvon.foessel.free.fr/yvonski/SkiAdventures.html: button should be further over to the right;
http://yvon.foessel.free.fr/yvonski/AK.html: button should be higher, just next to "others,";
http://yvon.foessel.free.fr/yvonski/Friends.html: button should be centered between the phone number on top and the links below.
And there are similar issues in the French pages.

I have just created a website. This is the first one I have ever done so I am rather new to it. I inserted the "Email me" button in a couple of locations on my website. I have asked some family and friends to email me using those specific links because I wanted to make sure they were working correctly.
I received emails directly from those links from people that were using macs. Everyone else's test emails have not been received. Somebody suggested that if there default mail program wasn't Outlook but Hotmail etc, then that might have something to do with it.
Because this is going to be a professional site, I need to make sure that those links work for everyone regardless of what they are using.
Any ideas anyone?
Thx and Happy Holidays!Like this?

I'm having some difficulty getting the "Email Me" button to function correctly and hope that someone here might have some advice for me.
I have already updated my card in my address book to reflect the email address that I would like the button to point towards, and have deleted all other email addresses under my name in an effort to streamline the process and avoid any errors. Unfortunately, the Email Me button now does not point towards any email address, it is just empty. I am also unable to adjust it in the hyperlink section of the inspector.
I would prefer to use the button as opposed to using a simple text link because the button can be positioned at the bottom navigation bar of my blog, whereas a text link forces the navigation bar further down the page.
Any ideas on how to re-set my Email Me button so that it will actually reflect my address rather than being empty? I have explored all the options available from iWeb's help section dealing with the Email Me button to no avail, hopefully this is just something simple that I am overlooking.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
~LolaYes, I can select a text box and make it into a hyperlink that points to the correct email address. Unfortunately, the "Email Me" button still chooses an old email address, one that no longer exists in my address book - I don't quite grasp how that can be possible, as all other email addresses other than the one I wish to use have been eradicated!
My desire to use the "Email Me" button instead of a text hyperlink is about as stubborn as the button selecting an old non-existant email address. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. -
I can't insert hyperlink to email me button,can you help me.
When I try to insert hyperlink to email me button it won't bold up so i can click on it. How do i add the email address I want the button to link to?
The email button is predefined.
If you still want to use it for another email address, publish the page and grab the image.
Also note there's a whole universe beyond iWeb. Explore and discover it :

Can't get the "Email Me" button to work
I added an "Email Me" button on my web site but when you click on it, it does not put my email address in the "To" section. How do I get this to happen automatically?
* My web site is posted to a web host (not Mobile Me)
* I already created an email address at the web host
The HELP section of iWeb says this about Adding an Email Me button:
" ..... clicking the button opens a new email message using the address on
your card in Address Book."
What do I call the card and how do I get it to link with the button?
Thanks for any input!This old thread may help:

Help with making an Email Submit button on a form!
Im making a form using livecycle for the first time.
Im trying to put on it a email submit button - i used email submit field and made the button. Then in the Objects Palette, in the box that says email address i put in the email address that i want it to be sent to. I then tried to email the form, and i received an email, but the attachment was just a bunch of codes, not the form. I want the email to come through with the PDF form.
I searched on help and this is what i found:
3.
In the Control Type area, select Submit. Data will be submitted according to the settings in the Submit tab.
4.
Click the Submit tab and type the URL protocol in the Submit to URL box.
To
Use this URL protocol
Example
Submit the package to an ftp site
ftp
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GPL
Submit the package to a web server
http
http://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to a secure web server
https
https://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to an email address

Select PDF from the Submit As list.
I cant find where to change these options - can someone help?
Thanks!Hi,
The issue is that if the form is not Reader Enabled, then users with Reader cannot submit the form as a PDF.
They can submit it as an XML file and then you would re-import this back into the form on receipt. It is an extra step, but it does have the advantage that the data being submitted as an XML file is very small.
If you really need/want the form to be submitted as a PDF AND your users have Reader, then the form will have to be Reader Enabled.
There are two options:
Reader Enable using Acrobat Standard (version 9) or Acrobat Professional (version 8). This will give certain rights, like the ability for users with Reader to save the form and for the form to be submitted as a PDF. However there are licensing restrictions, see EULA.
The other option is to Reader Enable the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2. This is a server product, which entails additional cost and a cost to Reader Enable each form. It is intended for processing large volumes of forms/large volumes of data.
There is a summary here:
http://assure.ly/gYyYc2
So there are a couple of options.
Form NOT Reader Enabled:
Users cannot save the data they input.
Data must be submitted as an XML file and processed on receipt.
Form IS Reader Enabled:
Users can save the data they input.
Data can be submitted as a PDF (or XML file).
Hope that helps,
Niall

I want to have users submit the form in PDF format but it doesn't work using the email submit button
Hi all,
I have a form that I want to be returned to a specific email address as a PDF File. This is so that reservations people can open the pdf, and extract the information from it. Keeping it as a PDF will allow them to easily read and use the form.
When I use the "Add and Email Submit button" approach, as outlined in the "How to" area, everything works fine, except that the format of the submitted file is in xml, not Pdf which is what I need it in.
I then tried adding a Button to the document from the Library, and set it's "Control Type" to "Submit". This provided me with the submit sub-tab, where I set the "Submit Format" to PDF. In the "Submit to Url", I entered the following - "mailto:[email protected]" (without the quotes)
The first approach works, but is not in the PDF format that I need (I believe).
The second approach keeps giving the following error when one selects the submit button - "This operation is not permitted".
We use Lotus Notes (yes, I know...not my favorite either, and it may be the problem here).
Any help that might be provided is greatly appreciated!!
RobThanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
Thanks again,
Rob -

Email submit button doesn't work with Thunderbird
I created a LiveCycle (v8.2.1) form with the email submit button. Works fine if the sender is using Outlook. If their using Thunderbird, it does not. I installed Thunderbird on my system (normally I use Outlook) and set Control Panel/Internet Options/Programs email to use Mozilla Thunderbird as the email program. When I click the Email button on my LiveCycle PDF form, I get a message telling me: Select an Email Client. The "Desktop Email Application" radio button is checked and that should be fine; the explanation for this button indicates that it should be checked "if you currently use an email application such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, or Mail.". I leave that checked, since I am using an email application and click OK. After 20-30 seconds, I get a message with the title bar: Microsoft Office Outlook "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook..." Allow|Deny|Help. I click Deny. After a minute or so, an Outlook "New" email window appears with the appropriate information from my LiveCycle PDF form. Right content, wrong email client. Since Thunderbird is my "default" email application, where is LiveCycle coming up with Outlook? What do my customers do who don't use Outlook?
I hope someone has a good solution.
Thanks.When you click the submit button, do you get a window that has the title "Select Email Client"and has the options of "Desktop Email Application" and "Internet Email"? If not, does anything at all happen?
Note that Mac users must have Acrobat or Reader installed and be viewing the PDF in Acrobat or Reader for it to work. Many (most?) Mac users have the Preview Application as their default PDF viewer, and it does not support many interactive features such as form submissions. Although some third-party PDF viewers for Windows support form submissions, many do not.
For those that do not use PDF viewers that support form submissions, they will have to manually attach the document to an email message. -
ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK
I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

Email submit button doesn't work after digitally signing document
I have a PDF fillable form that works great except for the digital signature fields. Every employee needs to fill it out, sign it, hit the email submit button to faward it to the boss, who then signs it and saves it. There are two digital signature fields that need to be signed by different people. If the employee fills out all of the fields and then hits the email submit button, everything works as it should. However, if they sign it digitally like we need them to and then press the email submit button, nothing happens. It's like the button is no longer interactive at all. The mouse doesn't even change anymore when hovering over it. How can I fix this?
When you click the submit button, do you get a window that has the title "Select Email Client"and has the options of "Desktop Email Application" and "Internet Email"? If not, does anything at all happen?
Note that Mac users must have Acrobat or Reader installed and be viewing the PDF in Acrobat or Reader for it to work. Many (most?)
