Outlook pops out on form submit
I am making a form on Dreamweaver CC and I want to integrate that form in a Muse website and when I click submit, a window from Outlook pops out to send an e-mail to the recieptient e-mail.
I already read here but I don't know if I can integrate a PHP script with Adobe Muse files on my server. Would they enter in conflict or that's fine?
This is the code of the form:
<form action="mailto:[email protected]" method="get" enctype="text/plain" name="form1">
<p>
<label for="textfield"><strong>Name:</strong></label>
<input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield">
<label for="email"><strong>Email:</strong></label>
<input type="email" name="email" id="email">
</p>
<p>
<label for="textfield2"><strong><br>
PICK-UP<br>
<br>
Location:</strong></label>
<input type="text" name="textfield2" id="textfield2">
<label for="date"><strong>Date:</strong></label>
<input type="date" name="date" id="date">
<label for="time"><strong>Time:</strong></label>
<input type="time" name="time" id="time">
</p>
<p>
<label for="textfield3"><strong><br>
DROP-OFF<br>
<br>
Location:</strong></label>
<input type="text" name="textfield3" id="textfield3">
<label for="date2"><strong>Date:</strong></label>
<input type="date" name="date2" id="date2">
<label for="time2"><strong>Time:</strong></label>
<input type="time" name="time2" id="time2">
</p>
<p>
<label for="textfield4"><strong><br>
Type of Car:</strong></label>
<input type="text" name="textfield4" id="textfield4">
</p>
<p>
<label for="textarea"><strong><br>
Notes/Extras:</strong> <em>(i.e.: GPS, Baby Seat, etc...)</em><br>
</label>
<textarea name="textarea" id="textarea" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" formaction="Submit Form" formmethod="GET" value="Send">
</p>
</form>
Waiting an answer.
Best wishes,

Mailto: links on form submit are not reliable for several reasons.
Most web mail users do not have Outlook or similar e-mail clients installed on their system. When they click your submit button, nothing will happen.
Mailto: links do not hide your e-mail address from harvesters and spam bots.
Your form is not secure from spam bots and hackers.
AFAIK, Muse does not support server-side scripting. But that shouldn't preclude you from using a contact form with a separate form-to-email processing script. You point your HTML form to the script using the action attribute.
<form action="your_script.php"
Which script depends on your server. Ask your hosting provider if they have scripts you can use. If they don't, find out which server-side languages your hosting plan supports -- php, asp.net, coldfusion, perl, etc...
This will narrow your search form appropriate scripts you can use.

Can I stop Outlook pop-up on form submit?
Hi All
I'm pretty new to Dreamweaver and am not a programmer or
coder by any stretch of the imagination. I have just created my
first website (using the design view for the most part) and have
added a page with a form on. When I preview the form, complete it
and click 'submit' it opens a new Outlook email message box. The
address and form details are filled in on the Outlook box and I
have to press 'send'. Is there a way I can set the form up so that
it sends in the background without opening this up, as it looks
amateurish and also means people can see my email address.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Many thanks
m.nutt1You've said your hosting supports PHP?
If yes- then a php script would be easier to setup than the
nms-formmail
Perl script.
1)go to
http://boaddrink.com
-->phpformmail
download it.
http://www.boaddrink.com/projects/files/phpformmail/phpformmail_classic-1.07
.2.zip
extract the ZIP file.
2) open formmail.php in dreamweaver
Make the following changes (in code view, turn line numbers
on)
2a)
line 4,
define('CHECK_REFERER', true);
change to:
define('CHECK_REFERER', false);
reason: too many people use a firewall or Norton security to
restrict this.
2b)
Line 43
$referers = array('www.example.com', 'example.com');
change to:
$referers = array('www.marknuttall.me.uk',
'marknuttall.me.uk');
reason: this probably isn't needed since we just turned the
referrer
checking off. but change it anyway.
2c)
Line 46
$recipient_array = array();
change to:
$recipient_array = array('me' => '[email protected]');
reason: this sets the email address the form results will be
sent to.
3) now do a File-->Save As and save this file to within
this Local Site
folder.
4) in dw's File Panel, find formmail.php and upload it to the
remote site.
5) Now open your form html file in dreamweaver, ContactMe.htm
5a)click the mouse into the form area, and select the
<form> tag on the
lower left margin of the design window.
In the Property Inspectory, it should now show the properties
of the <form>
tag. In the Property Inspector, to the right of the ACTION
line, click the
folder icon and browse to and select the copy of the
formmail.php file
you've saved to within this site.
5b) click the mouse into the Email field of your form.
In the property inspector, change the "name" for this field
from Email to
email
reason: this will let the outgoing email have a "reply to"
that uses the
visitor's email address.
5c) now go to dw menu-->Insert-->Form
Objects-->Hidden Field
This inserts a hidden form field.
In the property inspector, change the NAME of this field to:
recipient
And the VALUE of this field to: me
the code should look like:
<input name="recipient" type="hidden" id="recipient"
value="me">
6) Save and upload ContactMe.htm
Try the form from the website.
Optional:
make a new page for a thank you for submitting message.
In the form, insert another hidden field.
Name: redirect
Value: the full absolute
http:// address to the new thank you page. -
When I create a new email but click on the Pop Out button the entire email resizes in view, reducing the font to a minuscule size. Anyone know how to fix this?
Hi,
When you click the Pop Out button, does Outlook reduce the font size or the zoom percentage? Please check the 'Basic Text' group on the Ribbon and check if the font size is decreased. If it's the zoom percentage which was changed, please
click the Zoom button under Message tab and change the zoom percent to 100% and then test the issue again.
Note: When the zoom view is changed, the setting is persistent on all future messages you compose, reply to, or forward.

I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes... "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play. How can I get this message to STOP?
Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

How can I embed a form on my website and set up a submit button so that when people fill out and click Submit, the filled form will be emailed to me as an attached pdf file?

That is not a workflow that is supported by the Adobe forms solutions at this time.

This FAQ should describe the issue - you need to be using Adobe Reader (free) or Adobe Acrobat to fill out the PDF, Preview on the Mac breaks the PDF so it is no longer usable: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653

Stripping out html from form submissions
My web developer is using the attached code to strip/disallow
html code from form submissions in an effort to prevent someone
from posting dangerous scripts or code via a form or blog.
Problem is, I DO want to at least allow people to post url
links to external content like youtube videos, their own webstes,
images etc.... Basically if it is something hosted AND viewed on a
site other than mine I would like to give them the ability to link
to it. How could I edit the code to allow links of this nature or
is there a better way to do this?
My developer has basically told me there is no other way. It
is either disallow it all or open it up. I disagree with this and
am looking for a 2nd opinion.url links are not html.
Regular expressions are not my strength, but it looks like
that function is simply replacing sets of angle brackets with empty
strings.
In other words, if your users submit
http://somesite.com, that will not
be affected by the function. However, if they submit <a href="
http://somesite.com">, it will be
transformed to href="
http://somesite.com". In either
case, it will be text, not a link. -

No, it wasn't addressed to you but rather the OP - sorry for the confusion.
I try where possible to point out that without asking a sensible and clear question, posters are unlikely to get sensible and clear answers. A lot of time is wasted on this forum trying to get people to ask questions properly.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.
It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters. -
How can I print out a form as it looks after it is filled out???
I would like to have people fill out a form then when they
submit it or print it the page will print as it looks on the site
or email the completed form as it appears on the site. I have seen
things like this before but I am not sure how it is accomplished.
Anyone got some input for me?
Thanks
Jamiewhat server side language are you using?
You can capture any form data in the page you send the form
to. That page
can display the data, confirm it, or do something else with
it (enter into
db, email, whatever).
For example,
Username: <?php echo $_POST['username'] ?>
Password: <?php echo $_POST['password'] ?>
Would give you the username and password of somebody that
just logged in.
You language specifics will change.

Hi,
Currently i have a BSP application (page with flow logic) working. Where it has 5 input fields (numc) and based on the quatity entered (On click of SUBMIT button)the calculations are done and final amount is displayed in same screen.
Requirement: I need to remove the Submit button and enable the Form submit once the user enters value in any of 5 input fields and comes out of that field.
Currently i tried using JavaScript but with no success.
i tried attaching onblur event to my input field tag and the function associated with onblur event will do window.form.submit();
But i'm getting Error in Explorer as "'window.form' is null or not an object"
In Mozilla as "window.form has no properties"
I'm not able to post my code.. pls tell me how to do that
Please guide..
Thanks in Advance,here is a simple sample application:
page attribute:
mess type string
layout
<%@page language="abap" %>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb" %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003" >
<htmlb:page title=" " >
<htmlb:form id="myform" >
<htmlb:inputField id = "IP1"
value = "<%= mess %>" />
< script for="IP1" event=on blur type="text/ j avascript">
document. myform .submit();
< /script>
<br>
<%= mess %>
</htmlb:form>
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
oninput processing
data: ip type ref to cl_htmlb_inputfield .
ip ?= cl_htmlb_manager=>get_data( request = request
name = 'inputField'
id = 'IP1' ).

I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.
I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.
However, when I click on the square to insert the photo, a screen pops up telling me to "select a PDF file and import it as an image" and just an "OK" button to press.
When running the debugger, I get NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method. Field.buttonImportIcon:6:Field Click here to add a photo:Mouse Up. Any way around it? Below is the problem I'm talking about.Thanks for your reply.
I've converted photos into pdf format and it still won't allow me to insert the photo. I wouldn't know whether it'd be too large or small since I cannot insert it in the first place.
"Warning: Javascript Windows: Select the PDF file to import this button as an image" is the message that keeps appearing. I can't seem to find anything related to this. -
Forms submit - Acrobat X can't do it?
Create a form. Add a submit button and set up the action.
It will work in older versions (i.e. 8); but it doesn't work on other computers also using X.
Is there a way to work around this to well, let X be compatible to X? Or is it necessary to tell users they can only submit the form if they are using 8 or older versions?Hi George.
I'm using the action associated with a button: choosing "Submit a form". Asking that it return the completed PDF, therefore using the mailto:xxx@xxx. Here's another clue. I can fill out the form and click submit and it works (but then, I'm using the the same program that created the form). A recipient of the form (I emailed the form) tried to use Acrobat X and it said it could not perform the function. Same form, opened in Acrobat 8, no problem. We don't want to frustrate our form-filler-outers by having them receive that error.
There are other users struggling with this (see comments in the general help screen that you get when using Help - Acrobat X Pro Help - forms - setting action buttons - submit a form. The reply there is to go here and ask.)
I'll try to post it for access later today and will let you know where it is.
Thanks! -
Outlook Calendar Appointment Custom Form Finding Contacts
I have an Outlook Calendar appointment custom form with a button to enter contacts. When the user presses the button, it brings up a window that starts in the user's own contact folder. Since the user of this application is supposed to use contacts in
a designated public folder instead of their own personal contacts, they have to drill down through public folders to get to the right place. Is there a way to have the window open up pointing to the folder I want them to use, so they don't have to drill down
each time? Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.Hi Linda,
I cannot find a way to achieve this. However, if you just want to click the Contacts button to select the attendee, we can just add the Address Book button to the Quick Access Toolbar. To do this, go to File > Options > Quick Access Toolbar, select
All Commands and find out Address Book, then click Add button.
Now, when you create an appointment, you can just click the Address Book button from the QAT to open the contacts. (First, please make sure you have adjusted the display order as my first reply)

How to stop someone from filling out pdf form multiple times?
My customers order my service by down loading a .pdf form. They then fill out the form and submit the form to my email. How do I stop a customer from submitting the form multiple times. I would like for the customer to submit the form only once filled out. If I need more info I could follow up to their order manually via email. Thanks for your help!
One of the main reasons why you have a customer posting multiple submits would be because for some reason he/she doesn't know the first one was successful.
Add a property your form to record whether or not a valid submit has already happened. Use script to set that property on submit. Check each time the submit operation is fired to see if the property is set. If it is display an error dialog and stop the submit from occurring.
If someone wants to open multiple copies of your form and fill it out and send it to you, well there's nothing you can do about that.
