Making a form work

I am building a form to take a market survey for energy and home improvement needs in my market area, how do I get it where when they hit submit that the form gets emailed to me? And is there anyway to integrate a form to send email and text message?

You'll need a server side form mail script. First start by checking with your host to see if they have one - many do.
> And is there anyway to integrate a form to send email and text message?
There are several ways, but the easiest is to simply send an email to the recipients text message email address. For example, if the recipient is on Verizon you would send an email to their 10 digit phone number @vtext.com

I have set up a contact form on one of my web pages that consists of Name, Email and Comments with a Submit button. I am wondering how I can get it to actually work! I've done some online research but have come up empty handed. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Making dynamic form flow on to next page

Hello,
I am trying to make a dynamic form that is expandable. I have succeeded in creating expanding fields, but have been unsuccessful in convincing those fields to flow on to the next page (which I have added). I have set all the content for my fields to flowed and have allowed page breaks in all of them. I suspect there might be a pagination issue, but I have not found any solid information about how to use it correctly. If I select any option other than the default in pagination (while the subform at the bottom of the page is selected), the whole form disappears. I realize I may have some inherent flaws in my design and will perhaps need to start over, but if anyone had a list of requirements for making things flow to the next page (after a set margin at the bottom of the page, i.e. at 1" from the bottom, the field entry splist, and continues at 1" from the top of page 2), I would be grateful.
Thanks!

Hi,
I wondered if you might be able to help me solve another flow issue? I've got my form working quite well now, but I', having an issue with the text fields. My fields have captions that ask a question, and the response should be in the field. I wondered if there was a way to make the text fields wrap onto the beginning of the next line as they expand, rather than going onto the next line at the limit of the text field. For example-
What is your favorite color?: (the response continues here and goes all the way to the end and on to the next
line and continues here.
rather than-
what is your favorite color?: text text etc etc
text text text etc etc.
Does that make any sense? Is it possible? Should I throw this to the forum?
Thanks!

Making a form portlet reusable by allowing a parameter to be passed to it

I have a form that allows maintenance on records. I need to filter the records that a user can maintain, (and insert) based on a column value. I can accomplish this by setting the default value for the (hidden) column. When I query and maintain the records in the form it behaves correctly by only affecting the records for the default value. Now I want to place the form into multiple pages as a portlet.
The goal is to be able to change the default value for the portlet (reuse). I've seen many postings on how to pass things to and from forms, but nothing seems to address allowing a user to easily customize the portlet.
Any bright people out there have a creative solution to this?

I discovered the way to do this is by making the form based on a procedure and creating link to the form. When a form is based on a table or view, the link will pass field information and return records, when a form is based on a procedure there are no records to retrieve so it sets values passed as default.

Designer 7.0 form working with Reader 7.0.5 but not Reader 7.0.8

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with a formed created using Designer 7.0 that was working with Reader 7.0.5 but no longer functions with Reader 7.0.8?
The form consists of a numeric textbox N1 and 2 checkboxes C1[0] and C1[1].
All code is done using FormCalc.
Here is the situation: if the number in the numeric box is blank or not greater then zero, then neither check box can be checked. Both check boxes can not be checked at the same time. If the value in the numeric box is greater then zero, the checkboxes may or may not be checked (again both can not be checked at the same time).
N1 has code the following code in its exit event:
if (($.isNull) or ($.rawValue le 0)) then
C1[0].rawValue = 0 //if not positive value, checkboxes must be blank
C1[1].rawValue = 0
endif
C1[0] has the following code in its click and exit event
if (C1[0].rawValue == 1) then
C1[1].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
endif
if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
$.rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
endif
C1[1] has the following code in its click and exit event
if (C1[1].rawValue == 1) then
C1[0].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
endif
if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
C1[1].rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
endif
The above code worked exactly as described when the form was used in Reader 7.0.5.
Under Reader 7.0.8 the following happens:
if N1 is blank or less then or equal to zero, both checkboxes can be checked at the same time (this should not happen at all) but neither can be unchecked
if N1 is positive the code (and checkboxes) function as described.
I am not sure if this is a Designer issue or a Professional/Reader issue, so I am posting this here as well as in the other 2 spots.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Ben

Chris,
Thank you for the sample you provided. First, I must apologize for not mentioning that there was additional code in the Click event. I thought I had removed it from my form, but apparently I had not.
I have compare the sample you provided to my form. I noticed several differences between them. First was that you used Designer 7.1 to create your sample, whereas I used Designer 7.0. I do not believe that this will have an impact, although it is possible. Also, in your sample, then click and exit events both need to contain the same "check" code. Your sample has one IF statement in the click event and one IF statement in the exit event. To match my form code, the Click and Exit events together need to contain both IF statements. My form originally contained the code in the Change event also.
i.e. C1[0] has the following code in both its Click, Exit and Change events
if (C1[0].rawValue == 1) then
C1[1].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
endif
if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
$.rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
endif
and similarly for C1[1].
Based off your sample, I did some more digging and found that the problem is caused by the Change event for the checkboxes. I have removed the code from the Change event and now the form works as desired.
So, if the Change event has NO code, and if the Click and Exit events for the checkboxes have both IF statements the overall behavior (as specified earlier) is identical (and what I am looking for) for both Reader 7.0.5 and 7.0.8.
Now, if I add the IF statements to the Change event (without removing them from Click and Exit), the behavior in Reader 7.0.5 does not change (works as specified). In Reader 7.0.8, the checkboxes can not be unchecked if N1 is blank.
So my questions now become:
1) What has actually changed between Reader 7.0.5 and 7.0.8 (i.e. more detailed description than the generic release notes)?
2) Which one actually exhibits the correct behavior?
3) If this is a change to the event model, is this documented anywhere?
Thanks again,
Ben

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes, loose what i've done and have ot restart.
I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?

I have a Win7Pro SP1 PC locked down with a Group Policy as it is a public facing PC. PDF fillable forms cannot be completed when logged on as the restricted user. The forms work as a normal user. What are the user requirements/permissions needed to fill forms?

Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
Go Utilities > Disk Utility
Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
I hope this help.

Feedback form working!

I have at last got my feedback form working in a reasonably
presentable manner.
If you would like to test it, go to
http://localhost/Corybas/index.php,
click
the yellow envelope at the bottom right of the home page, and
send me a message.
When I get the site converted to php, this envelope will
appear on every page.
Eventually I want to get the 'Thank you' form on a separate
page. At present I
am using the same page as the feedback form, and because of
the way my templates
are designed the page footer is in another table which is
drawn after the
'Contents' table, so on the Thank you page it is not drawn,
and there is no way
I can draw it using the standard template.
I discovered that if I use JavaScript to launch the feedback
page, not only can
I close it again without IE querying it, but ZoneAlarm does
not regard it as a
pop-up, and does not block the feedback envelope.
Clancy

Clancy:
I can't help thinking you are still confused with all of
this. Why is the
ZA thing bothering you anyhow? It would only be an issue for
*you* testing
locally....

Add row button on tabular form works from time to time

Hi!
we have two environments (dev & prod) with 10gR2 and APEX 3.2.1.00.12 (installed from one and only setup file)
we have developed application on dev and moved it to prod,
and on prod it was discovered that - from time to time (not always) -
when you press 'add row' button on tabular form,
tabular form does not display new record on the page,
if number of records exceeds number of records allowed to show
(i.e. with 10 records maximum it works fine when you add records from 1 to 10 and can't add record 11)
but - interestingly - increases number of rows in pagination by 1
(e.g. "rows 10-20 of 35" changes to "rows 10-20 of 36").
on dev this tabular form works correctly.
what is it and how to heal it?..
I recall I had same issue in prior releases (3.0 - 3.1), is it known issue?

It seems to be true:
- if there is ascending order on columns which fields are null in new line (have no default value), new row is visible in current "pagination" page
- but if there is DEScending order OR ANY sort order is set on columns which fields are NOT null in new line (have default value), new row is NOT visible in current "pagination" page
thank you!

Why won't my form work on my iPad?

I've created a simple form, using Acrobat Pro 9 / LiveCycle Designer on a Windows PC. The form has a few radio buttons, text entry boxes, and a drop-down selection box. It also has place that shows the current date.
The form works fine on the PC. I've emailed it to myself and opened it on my iPad in Adobe Reader, and the form appears, but it's completely static. The date is blank and none of the controls work.
Adobe's description for its Reader iPad app says it works with forms.
Am I doing something wrong, or what's the problem?

Acrobat comes with the tools to create both XFA forms (with LiveCycle Designer) or Acroforms (directly in Acrobat). The choice may not have been clear, but it is there. They are very different technologies, with Acroforms having the most support, but with Adobe software and third-part PDF viewers.
I'm not aware of a simple way to convert from an XFA to an Acroform, though it is a bit easier with static XFAs (as opposed to dynamic).
P does stand for Portable, but that requires that someones builds a PDF viewer for your particular OS. Not every viewer supports every feature that's available with PDF. Mobile viewers in particular impose various limitations, from memory to things like JavaScript. Also, XFAs are really XML wrapped in a PDF wrapper, not really PDF at all.

How to make PDF forms work in DreamWeaver

How to make PDF forms work in Dreamweaver

Look at DW's starter pages called "liquid" (FILE | New > Blank Page > "2 column, liquid" etc., or Google "liquid layouts".

Read-only forms work great - page fails to load on interactive form.

we have a weird issue.
we moved all our Adobe development (which was all new) to our QA environment.
Our 1 interactive form fails to even display, while all the other read only forms work fine.
I changed my interactive form to ENABLED off (unchecked) and moved it to QA - and it displays fine. I changed ENABLED = checked, and it's not working.
any ideas?

chintan,
we figured this out late yesterday - I was selecting all the business partners for a drop-down list in the form . It turns out another developer loaded 30k business partners in RPM. So, this was causing the form to blow up.
