Little help with making an email form.
can any of you lovely, lovely people point me in the
direction of a good Dreamweaver CS3 tutorial on how to make an
email form. Preferably one with a "conform email address" text
field.
Thanks all!
P.S. I have tried looking.
There is god general training available at www.lynda.com .
Its $25 a month for online video viewing. The title is called
Dreamweaver CS3 - Beyond the Basics.
I also would recommend a free form mail solution like
www.tectite.com which I have used before. It is more powerful that
the spry widget in dreamweaver, but is on the server side and not
the user application side.

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
mailto
mailto:[email protected]
5.
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,

Need Help With Spam Proof Email Form
I am making a new web site using iWeb, .Mac, personal domain and forwarding from my commercial host. I want to make an email contact form that spammers cannot hijack and use to deluge use with spam. I have another web site that was created with Dreamweaver that contains a javascript form that I think that I can modify and use as an html snippet in iWeb.
Will this work in iWeb (sending a form response to non-.mac email address? The form I am using relies on two small text documents that are stored in the templates folder of my site. The following code refers to the one line of text in the confige document.
<input type=hidden name="config" value="templates/confige.txt">
<input type=hidden name="success_url" value="http://myothersite.com">
<input type=hidden name="email" value="[email protected]">
Text of confige: mail_template=templates/emailTemplate.txt
The confige document refers to the following text which are the field names and order.
Name: <first>
Store Name: <store>
Location: <city>
E-mail: <custemail>
Platform: <platform>
Comments:<storeDescription>
How do I deal with the text documents that are stored in a separate folder in my Dreamweaver site, and can I eliminate these documents and use just the html form in iWeb?You might want to check out wufoo.com - very customizable

Help with ActionScript/PHP email form
Hey guys, hope someone can help me out with this!
Haven't programmed in a while, but a friend asked me to look
at this and figure out why it isn't working. It's a simple form,
with the text boxes labeled inTxt_1, inTxt_2 ..... inTxt_13.
The ActionScript looks like this ...
Code:
submit.onRelease = function () {
var loadv = new LoadVars();
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_1 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_1.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_2 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_2.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_3 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_3.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_4 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_4.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_5 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_5.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_6 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_6.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_7 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_7.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_8 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_8.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_9 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_9.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_10 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_10.text;
loadv._level0.mc1.inTxt_11 = _level0.mc1.inTxt_11.text;
loadv.send("email.php",loadv,"POST");
(Quick question ... why is the _level0.mc1 part needed? Or is
it even required?)
Here's the PHP ...
Code:
<?php
$To = "[email protected]";
$subject = "site reply";
$Name = $_POST["inTxt_1"];
$Email = $_POST["inTxt_2"];
$Company = $_POST["inTxt_3"];
$Position = $_POST["inTxt_4"];
$Address = $_POST["inTxt_5"];
$Address1 = $_POST["inTxt_6"];
$Address2 = $_POST["inTxt_7"];
$ZipCode = $_POST["inTxt_8"];
$Country = $_POST["inTxt_9"];
$Tel = $_POST["inTxt_10"];
$Enquiry = $_POST["enquiry"];
$Comments = $_POST["inTxt_11"];
\$headers = "From: " . $_POST["inTxt_1"]. "<" .
$_POST["inTxt_2"] .">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["inTxt_2"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["inTxt_2"];
$message = "Name: $Name\n";
$message .= "Position: $Position\n";
$message .= "Company: $Company\n";
$message .= "Email: $Email\n";
$message .= "Address: $Address\n";
$message .= "Address1: $Address1\n";
$message .= "Address2: $Address2\n";
$message .= "Zip Code: $ZipCode\n";
$message .= "Country: $Country\n";
$message .= "Enquiry: $Enquiry\n";
$message .= "Phone: $Tel\n";
$message .= "Comments: $Comments\n";
mail($To, $subject, $message, $headers);
Print "Your mail has been sent";
?>
(Another question - why does the one $headers line have a /
infront of it? Should it be there?)
Now when I submit it, "Your mail has been sent" appears on
the screen, but I don't receive an e-mail. Can anyone help me??
Thanks so much!!

I need help with a 1 Page Form with scrollable text field (5000 limit characters) and printing
Hello, I have no training in using Adobe Acrobat Pro or Livecycle Designer so I need major help with a 1 page form that I am attempting to create. Basically the form will be used to nominate employees for a Job Well Done Award.
The form contains the following:
1.) The name(s) of the employees being nominated and the date of the accomplishment.
2.) In the middle of the page I have a section for a write up, limited to 5000 characters, this is were I am needing the most help. A couple of things, about this section: The font is set at 11 and I don't want it to change. The text field has multiple-line, scroll long text enabled. The text field is a certain size and can only hold so much text, then it starts to scroll, which I am ok with, I like that feature. The issue I am having is during printing. I would like to keep the text field scrollable but when I print I would like to be able to print everything in that field. Executing this is the problem, I have no clue how to do it. I was hoping for some setting within Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle to be available, but the more I read and research this, it appears that it may require java, xml, basically some coding. I don't know for sure.
3.) Below the text field I have another field for the person nominating to type their name and right next to that another field for a digital signature.
4.) And finally below those two fields I have a Submit button that is setup to start email application so the form can be emailed to the proper inbox.
Thank you in advance.With an Acrobat form the only thing you can do is export the text to
another location (like a blank field on another page) or to another file
format. With an LCD form you can expand the text box itself, but you'll
need to ask about that over at the LCD Scripting forum. -
Help with making JLabel visible for a few seconds only

jrbFigure1.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {

jlbl.setText(wrong);
This piece of code is in a switch statement, the statement is in a method.
The JLabel jlbl object is added in a panel in the constructor of the class.
I really hope someone could help me on this issue.
I would like to thank you in advance for any help or advice given.Bobson wrote:
Sorry for posting my issue twice, I thought, I posted it in a wrong forum:)It's OK. We'll ask the mods to delete the other thread.
I want the label to appear for X seconds when then button is pressed and disappear after that.Then a Swing Timer is what you want to use.
I need to do this in a number of cases from a switch statement because I several buttons.Better to have several ActionListeners, one for each button or each type of button, rather than one ActionListener with a large switch statement, a so-called switch-board listener. They're messy to debug and upgrade.
I tried to use Swing Timer, but I cannot set it properly.Go through the Sun Swing tutorial on Swing Timers. It's all outlined for you there: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/timer.html] -
Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium
+Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium< A few questions here.
st question? Im using opt out port on the xfi ti. card and using digital li've on a windows 7 64 bit system,? I would like to know why when i use 5. or 7. and i check to make sure each speakear is working the rear speakers wont sound off but the sr and sl will in replace of the rear speakers. I did a test tone on my sony amp and the speaker are wired correctly becasue the rear speakers and the surrond? left and right sound off when they suppose too. Also when i try to click on? the sl and sr in the sound blaster control panel they dont work but if i click on the rear speakers in the control panel the sl and sr sound off. Do anyone know how i can fix this? So i would like to know why my sl and sr act like rears when they are not?
2nd question? How do i control the volume from my keyboard or from windows period when using opt out i was able to do so with my on board? sound max audio using spidf? Now i can only control the audio using the sony receiver.
Thank you for any help../Re: Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium? ?

I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard. -

Hi, i am new to the forum and I just put up a new wesite for
my company since the other one was outdated. I look around the
forum to see what previous post could help me but no such luck. I
am using Dreamweaver 8 and I need help with emailing a form.
Here is the code of the form page and the script
Can someone help me?The form needs to submit to a page that will have the email
processing code
on it. What you put there will depend on how you are sending
the mail ..
i.e. what server components are available to you on the
server such as JMail
or CFMail or PHPMail or ASPEMail .. etc. You already know
what server model
you are using and you should be able to find out what you
have to work with
on your host's web site.
If this is not already an active web site with a server
model, you can use
something like Form Mail, a CGI script that will do that job
for you ..

Help with SUBMIT BY EMAIL, radio buttons
Hi guys:
I have a two parter. I sincerely appreciate any advice!
1. Using Adobe Acrobat/Adobe LiveCycle Designer (mostly LiveCycle) I want to somehow pull a user-entered value from the PDF into the subject line of the email, created when the user clicks on "SUBMIT BY EMAIL".
Specifically, when the end-user fills in the "Employee ID" line in the PDF form, and submits the form, I'd like the subject line of the Submit by Email -email to read "Employee #___" with the ___ obviously being the employee ID.
Any help would be great; thanks!
2. I am aware of how to prevent a PDF being submitted via email if the enduser hasn't filled out a certain part of it -- a message pops up saying that the user hasn't filled in a required line, and the line is highlighted with a red box, etc.
What I can't figure out is as follows: I have two radio buttons, one (and only one) of which MUST be slected by the user. How do I set it up so that either one or the other must be selected in order to submit? Currently the form will only submit if you have both selected.
Thanks!David,
I can help with the first part I think. I just tried this out using Designer and Acrobat 8, and it worked. (I saved my form as a dynamic acrobat 8 pdf)
I got this script from searching the forum and then tweaked it a tiny bit so that it works for the subject line. (http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?addBookmark@@.3bc34abf/44)
Using a regular button for submitting, I added this javascript as a click event:
var Comment = EmployeeID.rawValue;
if (EmployeeID.rawValue == null){ Comment = " "} else {Comment = EmployeeID.rawValue};
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Employee#"+Comment+"&bo dy=Write whatever you want to go here.",cSubmitAs:"XML",cCharset:"utf-8"});
So, my variable "Comment" will return the number typed into the EmployeeID field and put it in the subject line after "Employee #". If you copy/paste the code, make sure you change the email address and body message to be what you want.
Kristi
(oh, and if you want it to come back as pdf, change the cSubmitAs:"XML" to "PDF" and then enable user rights in Acrobat 8.) -

Actually, I have found a few posts apparently trying to do the same thing I am, but with never a solution beyond "hire a programmer." Maybe I'm missing something obvious out there, and if so please feel free to throw tomatoes at me (along with a link I can get what I need - lol)
At this point I'm completely stumped - furthermore, I'm not a code guru in the slightest. In my research, I did find and buy a script that was supposed to do what I needed - but it doesn't so I'm still stuck and $50 in the hole.
Moving on, I realize this may be a rather low-tech request given the power of Adobe forms, but I have a client who wants it this way so that's the way it has to be. So, here we go...
My client wants his website viewers to complete an employment application pdf form and click <submit>
I have the form completely finished and ready to go
He then wants to receive that same completed form as a PDF document as an email attachment
He cares nothing about processing the form DATA (fields) becuase he simply wants to print the form and save it to his computer for future reference
However...
Most of the people viewing and completing this app are NOT computer savvy
In fact, many viewers use public computers (such as at a library) and have no email capabilities or the ability to save the form
So I cannot use the basic submit-by-email function (that requires a desktop email client)
So far what I've been trying to do (with the purchased script referred to above) is direct my <submit> button to the url of the php script on the client's server. If I select "html" in the (pdf) submit dialogue box, I do in fact get the DATA from the form in an email. But that's not what I need. If I select "entire pdf document" in the submit dialogue box, I get an error w/ the script.
In my research I've read that the form DATA can be sent to the server, then parsed back into a PDF form. This seems logical but unnecessary. Also this is an 8 page form with LOTS of data fields, some are required others are optional.
Is there ANY WAY to have the same form a viewer is filling out and submitting simply sent as an email attachment from the server the form is hosted on???Yes, that's possible, and I have just the script...
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I would suggest that the best approach is to set up the form to submit just the form data as an FDF file. This avoids the limitations associated with Reader-enabling the form, which is necessary for the entire filled-in form to be submitted. You mentioned that just sending the form data is logical but unnecesary, but this will be by far the most reliable method.
Now, you just need a server-side program (script) that processes the form submission. Here's what the script would do:
1. Accept the incoming data and check that it is a valid FDF.
2. Attach the FDF to an email message that gets sent to your client
The recipient of the email can launch the FDF attachment and the corresponding PDF will load and get populated with the data in the FDF. The filled-in PDF can then be viewed/printed/saved. -
Need a little help with Slimbox (Lightbox clone) and Spry data sets
Hello guys!
First of all let me say that I'm not a programmer in any way,
shape or form, and somehow I managed to build me a dynamic
thumbnail gallery that reads data from an XML file and displays it
on my webpage using a Spry data set and a slider widget (yay!)
This is of course only thanks to the many great examples
provided by the Adobe Spry team, and me being stubborn enough to
keep at it, even though I don't really understand what I'm doing :D
But I got to this point where I have basically everything
working, except that I can't get the Slimbox (Lightbox clone)
script to work with the Spry-generated thumbnail gallery.
From what I could understand from other threads on this
forum, is that I need to add an observer somewhere, only that I'm
not sure where and how (those threads are pretty old and the
examples aren't available anymore).
I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about, anyway, here's
what I got so far:
http://www.riotdesign.com.ar/misc/gallery/test1.html
I have the thumbnail gallery populated from the external XML
file, a basic page navigation using the Sliding Panels widget, and
the Slimbox script which works only on the static test image.
Okay I guess that's it for now, sorry for the long post and
of course any help with this will be GREATLY appreciated :)
Thanks & bye!Kev,
Where exactly does the .evalScripts = true; text need to go?
Does it go in the href call?
<a href="ManageNotes.asp" title="Manage Notes" onClick="this.blur();
Modalbox.show(this.href, {title: 'Manage Notes', width: 575}); return false;">View your notes.</a>
Thanks for any assistance.
