Need Help with Custom Form Field Backgrounds

I'm tryng to add a custom background image to a file upload
field in a form and it is not displaying correctly in Firefox. Is
there a way to do this? The background shows up fine in other
fields just not in the field that I apply ( type="file" ) to.
Here is a sample of the page:

Background images in form fields are not reliable....

Need help with adding form fields to PDF created in InDesign that includes links

I created a collateral piece in InDesignCC that includes hyperlinks and bookmarks - I then used LiveCycle to add an image field and text field to the front cover so our sales folks can customize it before use - the sales people with Reader can't save it without the hyperlinks and bookmarks being lost. Anyone have an option on how to fix that?

No. Not at all. I feel like I have clicked EVERYTHING. Lol. But obviously I have missed something.

Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

hello, everyone.
I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
that made that site created a new size background every time he
made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
link to a good tutorial?
please help me. i am very confused.
thanks so much.

IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:
Top background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-top.jpg;
745px
x 350px 137K
Main background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-tile.jpg;
745px x 950px 130K
Total page size: 454K (Check here:
www.websiteoptimization.com)
Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
size of ~80K
Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
they suggest,
"You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
as you speak
about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
effectiveness?"
That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
"Believing people
care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
expansively, "Our site
tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
how we're going
to solve your problems."
www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
website actually
attractive and usable at the same time.

Please help with dynamic form field names in cfloop

Hi,
I need to create a form with day, date, month, year and time for 12 months
Instead of coding them 12 times, I create day,date,month,year and time fileds in my form 1 time and then I use cfloop from="1" to="12" index="i" to loop these form fields 12 times.
I gave each form field name such as: <input type="text" name="ScheduleDate_# i #" value=" "> this way each of those field will be named differently such as:
ScheduleDate_1, ScheduleDate_2,ScheduleDate_3, ScheduleTime_1,ScheduleTime_2, etc
I'm facing problem when this form is submitted, I think the error has something to do with the pound sign (##) when it comes to updating the back end
I use MS SQL
It doesn like this:
<CFLOOP From="1" To="12" index="k">
<CFIF Len(Trim(Form.MeetYear_#k#)) NEQ 0 AND Len(Trim(Form.MeetTime_#k#)) NEQ 0>
<cfquery name="CreateSchedule" datasource="#DSN#">
UPDATE TableSchedule
SET SchedDay = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedDay_#k##">,SchedMonth =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedMonth_#k##">,SchedDate =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedDate_#k##">,SchedYear =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedYear_#k##">,SchedTime =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedTime_#k##">
Where SchedId = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" value="#k#">
</cfquery>
</CFIF>
</CFLOOP>
Can anyone help please?

You can't nest hash marks. Do this instead:
SET SchedDay = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form["SchedDay_" & k]#">

Need Help with Conatct Form

I created a Contact Form in DW CS6, and I used the php and html files provided by Nancy O. in her forum dated back to October 2011. Follow the link for details. http://forums.adobe.com/message/3970070#3970070
I believe I have followed all the required steps, and almost everything seems working properly, except that I am not (Recipient) getting an e-mail. However, the client has received an automated reply from me (Recipient). But no e-mail were sent to me.
Please refer to below (Part of php code - Between Lines 12 and 35) where I have made the changes:
I am not sure where I have made an error(s). Could anyone please assist?

Hi Nancy,
I created a new Gmail address as you suggested, and then tested the Form with it. I still can't receive an e-mail.
Also, I have contacted my Web Host, and they confirmed that there are no issues from their end.
I have attached below both the php and the html files, and I would appreciate if you can take a look at them for correctness:

Help with Custom Forms Report

Hi there,
I recently created a new custom web form in BC that appears to be working fine.
My problem is that when I go to custom reports, in filter criteria I can't see my new form under the 'Custom CRM Form Filter'. All my other forms are appearing here however.
Am I just missing one small step?
Thanks for the help!

Yor form must not have any custom fields, which is why it isn't in that
dropdown. You can use the case subject to filter the cases where the case
subject is the webform name.
Cheers,
Mario

Need help with a form where checkbox displays another field

I created a from in january that works perfectly. I have different departments as checkboxes and if the box is checked, it displays another subform with a comments, approval, and signature field. However, we just added two new departments. I copied one of the checkboxes and subsequent fields twice. I then changed the script for the approriate field and checked to make sure there were no other functions I was missing. However, now when I open the form, the two new fields show by default. If I check the box and uncheck, the associated subform disappears. I think there may be some simple thing i am overlooking.

I'm not getting any errors at all. The form isn't online as of yet so I dont have a link. I will attach a screen shot and maybe you can tell me where I went wrong.

Need help with PHP form with checkboxes, radio buttons and file attachment

Hi guys,
I'm having a nightmare with this PHP form where a user can fill it in, attach a doc/pdf and submit. After trying to sort it out with previous code I've used, I've stripped it out and think I should just start again in the hope you geniuses can help!
Here is the HTML of contact.php:
<form action="" method="post" name="contact" id="contact">
    <p>Job Title:*<br />
    <input name="position" type="text" /></p>
    <p>Nationality:*<br />
    <select name="nationality">
      <option value="">-- select one --</option>
      <option value="Afghan">Afghan</option>
      <option value="Albanian">Albanian</option>
      <option value="Algerian">Algerian</option>
      <option value="Zambian">Zambian</option>
      <option value="Zimbabwean">Zimbabwean</option>
    </select>
    </p>
    <p>Which country are you currently living in?*<br />
    <select name="country">
    <option value="">-- select one --</option>
    <option value="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</option>
    <option value="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</option>
    <option value="Africa">Africa</option>
    <option value="Zambia">Zambia</option>
    <option value="Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</option>
    </select>
    </p>
    <label class="radio" for="checkRight">Yes/No question?</label><br />
    <input class="radio" type="radio" name="right" value="Yes" /> Yes
    <input class="radio" type="radio" name="right" value="No" /> No
    <input class="radio" type="radio" name="right" value="N/A" /> Not applicable
    <p>Yes/No question?<br />
    <select name="continue">
    <option value="">-- select one --</option>
    <option value="Yes">Yes</option>
    <option value="No">No</option>
    </select>
    </p>
    <p>Select your resorts:<br />
    Resort 1<input name="res1" type="checkbox" value="Resort 1" />
    Resort 2<input name="res2" type="checkbox" value="Resort 2" />
    Resort 3<input name="res3" type="checkbox" value="Resort 3" />
    Resort 4<input name="res4" type="checkbox" value="Resort 4" />
    Resort 5<input name="res5" type="checkbox" value="Resort 5" />
    Resort 6<input name="res6" type="checkbox" value="Resort 6" />
    </p>
    <p>Don't send form unless this is checked:* <input type="checkbox" name="parttime" value="Yes" /></p>
    <p>Date of arrival: <input name="arrive" id="datepick" /><br />
    Date of departure: <input name="depart" id="datepick2" /></p>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/scripts/datepickr/datepickr.js"></script>
    <link href="assets/scripts/datepickr/datepickr.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <script type="text/javascript">
    new datepickr('datepick');
    new datepickr('datepick2', {
    </script>
    <p>Name:*<br />
    <input name="name" type="text" /></p>
    <p>E-mail:*<br />
    <input name="email" type="text" /></p>
    <p>Telephone:*<br />
    <input name="telephone" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    <p>Upload CV (Word of PDF formats only):<br />
    <input type="file" name="cv" class="textfield"></p>
    <p><input name="submit" value="Submit Enquiry" class="submitButton" type="submit" /><div style="visibility:hidden; width:1px; height:1px"><input name="url" type="text" size="45" id="url" /></div></p>
</form>
By the way, the date boxes work so excuse the Javascript in there!
To prevent SPAM I've used a trick where there's a hidden URL field which must be left blank for the form to submit which you can see in the PHP.
Below is where I'm at with the PHP which is placed above the header of contact.php...
<?php
if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST)) {
    $position = $_POST['position'];
    $arrive = $_POST['arrive'];
    $nationality = $_POST['nationality'];
    $parttime = $_POST['parttime'];
    $depart = $_POST['depart'];
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Recruitment Application";
$message = $headers;
$message .= "Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\r\n";
$message .= "E-mail: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: My Website <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$message= "
$url = stripslashes($_POST["url"]);
if (!empty($url)) {
header( 'Location: http://www.go-away-spam-robots.com' );
exit();
if (!isset($warning)) {
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
header( 'Location: http://www.mywebsite.co.uk/sent.php' );
?>
I would like to make pretty much all the field compulsory so if a field is left empty (other than the hidden URL field), a warning message is displayed next to that field.
Also I would like the file upload field to attach to the email that is sent to me and have the results come through to me in a table format.
Can anyone help me get my form working?
Thank you and I hope to hear from you!
SM

Hi Nancy,
Great stuff, thank you for the reply.
I've managed to get the Formm@iler working and running as I need it to.
The only thing I'm struggling with is when the user clicks submit, they are taken to a page of whatever results the form returned but it is just a white background with Times New Roman text.
How can I have it so the user is taken to the form results in the websites' page layout?
I tried sending them to a generic 'thank you' page by adding the following code but it just took them there whatever the results of the form so that's no good...! I have a feeling it's a bit more complicated than that...
header( 'Location: http://www.nofussbus.co.uk/test/sent.php' );
Thank you for your help!

Hello Jani Rautiainen,
    Thanks a lot for replying my question.
    This is the first time i am working with the BI Publisher reports and fusion applications.
    My requirement is to add few columns to the standard report with out loosing the functionality.
    I was not aware that there is two ways of doing this, i was always copying data model and report to a new folder and trying to create a new job for the report.
    As mentioned in the document 7.2.1.4 Using the Customize Feature    , i clicked on the more button on my report but i do not see the customize option. Do i need to have any specific role for this to appear in the menu? Please kindly let me know.
    Also i see below limitations while customizing report
Limitations
Following are limitations of the Customize report option:
The Customize option is only available through direct access to the BI Publisher server using the /xmlpserver URL (for example:http://hostname.com:7001/xmlpserver). The Customize option is not available through the /analytics URL used to access Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
The Customize option is available only for reports. The Customize option is not available for data models, style templates, or sub templates.To customize data models, style templates or sub templates and insulate them from potential changes from patching: Make a copy of the data model, style template, or sub-template and either rename it or place it in a custom folder. Ensure that you update any reports to point to the customized data model, style template, or sub template.
    My requirement is to add few additional columns which needs Data Model to be modified, Can i copy the data model to the custom folder and do my modifications and point this data model in the report(as mentioned in the point 2 in the limitations)? In that case, will the original report submission works?

Need help with PHP form processor coding

I posted my first question on this forum earlier today and got help quickly. I'm going to try again and see who can help me this time.
I have a customer feedback form that I designed and I am using Spry validation on the fields and I'm use Recaptcha as well. Now I'm trying to get the form handler working. I know there are some canned procedures out there but I hate using too much code that I don't understand at all. I'm sure my first attempt at PHP coding is horrible but we all have to learn. My processor is working in some areas but there are holes I don't know how to fill in:
1. When I validate the Recaptcha input, if it was entered correctly, I go on to send an email to the appropriate person BUT how do I send them a message and get back to the form if the recaptcha validation fails and still have their entries in place?
2. Assuming the recaptcha validated correctly, my procedure sends an email and it writes the comments to a file for historical purposes. These parts seem to be working (by some miracle). Once I do this, I think I would like to open a little window to send the customer a confirmation message, have them click the box to confirm and close the window and then take them back to the feedback form but now have it be reset. I'm not sure how to do these steps.
Does anyone have a SIMPLE example to accomplish these steps?
Thanks much!!
Donna

It would be hard to give you substantive examples of how to accomplish your goals here without seeing your PHP code, but in general the following methods would work:
1. To return to the form with the fields populated, is easiest when the processing script and the form code are on the same page. The idea is that when the form is not properly completed, you fall back into the form code and use the data from the posted values to repopulate the fields, e.g.,
<input type="text' name="whatever" value="<?php isset($_POST['whatever']) { echo $_POST['whatever']; ?>">
or
<select name="whatever2">
<option<?php if(isset($_POST['whatever2']) && $_POST['whatever2']=='this_option_value') { echo ' selected="selected"'; } ?>>this_option_value</option>
</select>
Each field is set to repeat the posted data (if the corresponding $_POST value is set - to avoid error messages when the page is first loaded).
2. You can place the confirmation message on the page with CSS that hides it. When the form is submitted successfully, just set a variable that is used to show the previously hidden message, e.g.,
Assume the following CSS -
#message { display:none; }
and the following HTML -
<p id="message">Congratulations</p>
and the fact that you have set a PHP variable called $success to be true when the form is successfully submitted, you would just modify the HTML like this -
<p id="message"<?php if($success) { echo ' style="display:block"; } ?>>Congratulations</p>
Make sense?

Need help with custom column in BI Publisher

Hi Guru's
I have started working with BI Publisher Recently and need with below issue
Can you please let me know how can i create a custom column like % based on two existing measures in the report
I tried creating it in obiee report and used that SQL to create BI Publisher Report , but the result column in obiee is not working as expected in BI Publisher,
can some one please help me with this
Thanks a lot in advance.

This column can be calculated in BIP RTF template. But if it is a column inside a FOR-loop
then it may need to be calculated slightly different.
Like I said, get the xml data and rtf then send it to me : [email protected]
and will get it fixed for you.
thanks

Need help with designing form for exports

Hi
I am pretty new to designing form in adobe acrobat.
I have adobe acrobat 9 standard with Adobe liveCycle Designer installed.
There are couple of things I want to do.
1.
I would like to add a box where I can change the number (default is 1), and when I increase it, (for instance to two)
then
it will postulate the particular sections twice.
For instance, I am taking two drugs right now, then I would like to increase the number of drugs to 2, so then for each drug
I would enter appropriate information such as drug name, drug form, route of drug administration etcs
I hope this is clear
2.
I am trying to export this in xml format so that only the ones where the user fills in in pdf form gets exported to xml format.
I would like the boxes to have its own tag, for instance the drug name mentioned above can have a tag of <drugname></drugname>
I know this is possible through changing the box's name in binding tab.
What I am interested in is to add a tag for the section, like a header.
For example, if I were to enter two drug information I want the first drug information to be exported to be
<drug>
<drugname>blah</drugname><drugform>1</drugform><drugroute>oral</drugroute>
</drug>
<drug>
<drugname>drug2</drugname><drugform>1</drugform>
<drugroute>ophthalmic</drugroute>
</drug>
how would I add <drug> </drug> for each drug?
also, can I change the order of the tags??
in the pdf form, if the drugname box is displayed later than drugroute box, then when I export it, it will display as
<drugroute>oral</drugroute><drugname>blah</drugname>
but I want to manually set the order of tags when exported.
Sorry I asked so many questions
I hope it is clear enough for you to visualize what I am trying to do
Thank you so much

1. You can certainly add sections for the number of drugs that the user specifies pr
ovided that the form is set up the correct way to begin with. The drug information section must be wrapped in a subform (usually Poistioned) and that in turn must be wrapped in a flowed subform. Then the form must be saved as dynamic. If this information is all that is on the form then that shoudl be all you need to do. If th edrug section is in the middle of the form then you need to wrap the other parts of the form in a subform so they can be pushed down when we add the drug subforms. It can get confusing ...seeing the form amnd its structure would help to clarify.
2. You canbnot change the names of tags on the fly but you can change their values. AS mentioned above, when you wrap the Drug information in a subform that subform name can be used as a tag in the XML. Then you could have a node with the tag (or an attribute) that names the drug in question. Something like this:
<Drug Section>
     <Drug>
          <DrugName></DrugName>
          <Dossage></Dossage>
          <Supplier></Supplier>
     </Drug Subform>
     <Drug>
          <DrugName></DrugName>
          <Dossage></Dossage>
          <Supplier></Supplier>
     </Drug>
</Drug Section>
As mentioned earlier this is always easier to explain when you see it in context of your form.....if you want to send it to me at [email protected] I can get you started at least. Please include a description of your issue in the email

Need help with custom event from Main class to an unrelated class.

Hey guys,
I'm new to Flash and not great with OOP. I've made it pretty far with google and lurking, but I've been pulling my hair out on this problem for a day and everything I try throws an error or simply doesn't hit the listener.
I'm trying to get my Main class to send a custom event to an unrelated class called BigIcon. The rest of the code works fine, it's just the addEventListener and dispatchEvent that isn't working.
I've put in the relevant code in below. Let me know if anything else is needed to troubleshoot. Thank you!

            Spin_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fl_MouseClickHandler);
            addChildAt(iconLayer_mc,0);
            placeIcons();
        function placeIcons():void
            var i:int;
            var j:int;
            for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)

                    iconLayer_mc.addChild(placedIcon_mc);
        function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            dispatchEvent(new Event("twitchupEvent",true));

            this.addChild(thisIcon_mc);
            addEventListener("twitchupEvent", twitchUp);
        function twitchUp(e:Event)
            this.y += 10;

My apologies, I should attempt to compile my example code before I ask for help...
Alright, this compiles, gives me no errors, shows my 'book' and 'flowers' icons perfectly when ran, and prints 'addEventListener' to the output window as expected. I get no errors when I press the button, 'dispatchEvent' is output (good), but the 'twitchUp' function is never called and 'EventTriggered' is never output.
How do I get the 'twitchUp' event to trigger?

Beginner - need help with custom profiles

I've got 30-day demo versions of both Aperture and Lightroom trying to work out which is best for printing using custom profiles I've had done for a selection of textured art papers for use on my Epson R2400. I've read the printing documentation for both products.
In Aperture, I select print from the menu and open the print dialogue window. Then I open the printer settings window choosing the correct media and switching off Epson 'Color Adjustment' and saving the settings. Then I'm selecting my color profile from Aperture's 'ColorSync Profile' option in the print window and making sure 'Black Point Compensation' is selected. Then I'm pressing print.
In Lightroom 2, I select print from the menu and scroll down to the 'Color Management' tab in the print module. Here I'm choosing my custom profile from the drop down list and setting rendering intent as 'Perceptual'. On clicking the print button the default print window opens and I'm switching off Epson 'Color Adjustment' and selecting my preferred paper type. Then I'm pressing print.
Now I will admit that I'm new to printing with profiles and a complete newbie to Aperture and Lightroom. However, my prints from Lightroom are absolutely perfect, but colours are differing in Aperture prints. In particular, prints are slightly lighter and washed-out. I'm wondering if I might be missing a step somewhere in Aperture? It seems strange that both applications follow roughly the same print procedure yet I'm getting different results using the same profiles and images. I'd much rather use Aperture so I'm trying to seek an explanation for the change in colors.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A lot of people including me have had problems in this area. There may have been some problems but in my case I was so absorbed in trying different solutions it is hard to say what worked when.
This works for me using an HP 9180:
1. In the View drop down select Printing Profile and choose your paper. This step is not critical but can be helpful.
2. select Print Image and we will work through the menu in sequence.
3. Select your printer
4. Click on Print settings
Click on the Cover Page arrows and you will be given a number of other choices. Select Paper Type/Quality. Select your paper and possibly adjust the other values but generally I leave these alone unless i specifically want Borderless printing.
Click save
5. back on the print menu select paper size. I usually select best fit next.
6. Select Colorsync Profile and again select your paper.
7. Keep Black Point clicked on.
8. I find that I need to set my Gamma between 1.10 and 1.20.
9. I usually click on the Loupe and check to see if Sharpening is needed.
10. Adjust scaling and width to your needs.
11. I then Print as I have not found that Previewing helps me to improve my Workflow.
It may all seem straightforward but this now works for me.
When this all started there were many saying how important it was to calibrate the screen, many tried this but is still did not help solve the problem. From what i understand all the Canon printers are capable of giving excellent results with Aperture. i hope that you join the community of satosfied users. Good luck.

Portfolio site, need help with contact form

Hi,
Im a graphic designer turned web designer student. I dont know A LOT of flash, but im learning more as time goes by in and out of school. I currently redid my portfolio website, before it was more of a design taken into dreamweaver and uploaded. Now everything is not completely done, but im doing the site in flash.
www.Nikdesigns.com, if anyones interested...
but im trying to set up a really basic contact page. I have a name/email and message input text boxes and a submit button so far. Is there anyway someone can explain to me exactly what code I need, and what I need to do to be able to set this up correctly? Or link me a good tutorial?
I understand flash needs a php to send the info out and comunicate with, but other then that im lost. What actionscript? and what keyframe?
flash is so frustrating =/ someone please help, lol.

If your contact page is just 1 of the many pages in your site, I'll recommend you write it in HTML/PHP/JSP.
There are many cases when Flash/AS is the efficient tool to get jobs done. But just my humble opinion, I think in this case you'll be more efficient to construct the contacts page with mark-up languages.
Of course, it is possible to do it in Flash/AS and not difficult. I just have 1 question before I go off and try:
When an user submits the form, how do you wish to receive it? As an email in your inbox? Store it in a database? Or elsewhere?
Cheers,
