PDF form submission problem - works in Acrobat and Reader, but not when embedded in browser

Hello everyone,
I am trying to submit a PDF form to an application server.
To do this, I added a "Submit" button to the PDF, configured the server's address and submit format, and tested the button.
I opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro, clicked the button, and my web application received the form in PDF format just as I wanted.
To make it work in Reader, I had to extend user rights via Acrobat Pro, and then the form worked inside Reader as well.
Up to here, everything went fine.
Then I embedded the PDF in a web page (which will be the final scenario) and it all stopped working.
The submit button doesn't do anything anymore, and no data is sent to the application server.
I even tried switching from the form's submit mechanism to calling event.target.submitForm(...) in Javascript directly, but nothing changed (meaning this too worked only when opening the form as an "offline" pdf, but not when embedding it in a web page).
Is there something I am missing? Something else that must be configured/activated in order to be able to submit the PDF when it is in the form of an embedded object?
Many thanks in advance,
Alex

Thanks for your reply, Paul.
I tested the submit button both in Reader 9.3 and Acrobat 8 (which is the same I used to RE the PDF).
Apparently I got it working too, but only by deploying my embedding web page to an application server.
The final environment the PDF will be embedded into will be inside a web application deployed to an application server, so I guess my problem is solved.
It didn't work only when embedded into a local test.html web page saved on my PC...
Thanks again, have a good day.
Alex

Form Submission Problem

Hi,
I've setup a form with 2 items (username,password), both being text fields, with a submit button which will resubmit to the same page. When I try and pass these variable through using the submit button fields, it will NOT pass the values within the two fields (p12_user and p12_pass). they come up as blank in another region I have that will display them.
But....
If instead, I pass in a static string on the "with these values" field, it passes in that static string fine.
I've also setup a branch, and used the same thing, passing &p12_user. and &p12_pass. to two items on page 13, and they are passing, and I can display them in the region that I'm printing them out on.
Why can't I get it to submit to the same page (12) the values that I have in my form on page 12.
Hope this made sense..
-- cliff

Greetings,
Well, I've found the answer to my own question, but it opened up a new one. What is the difference between setting a button to submit and passing the values as opposed to setting up a branch to do the same thing. I COULDNT get the submission of the item values to work when setting the button up to submit to the same page and passing the values, but when I set the target of the button to -NO Target- and then setup a branch to do the same thing it worked. What gives? What is the difference between those two actions.
thx in advance,

Php form problem and question

I am a new web designer who is not code savey yet. Anyway
during the various sites i have designed i have used 3 different
forms that process and email it to me using a seperate php form, 1
in flash, 2 from a standard html form on a windows server. All have
been uploaded, to the site, tested and worked fine. 2 are in old
sites, one in my current site. Recently all 3 forms stopped working
and while they looked like they worked fine they no longer actually
sent anything. I had a big email arguement with my host and finally
they added this line into my php script "ini_set
("sendmail_from","[email protected]");" email address is example here
and they added another form to my site called "php4-cgi-fcgi.ini."
Then my curent form started working again. I haven't changed
anything, and of course the host never informed me of any changes.
So why did this need to be added for my form to work again? Does
this mean they upgraded to another version or something? Ihad a big
arguement with them because they refused to tell me what they did
that stopped all my forms from working, they kept acting like it
was me or my provider that caused the problem, when i am positive
we were not the problem. Any thoughts?

doing a google on "ini_set ("sendmail_from" gives a lot of
info.
summary- the form script you are using is probably not
setting a default
"FROM" email address, so the host has phpmail() reject it as
possible spam
abuse.
The .ini files the host added to your site correct the
problem. They change
values for php to use within your hosting domain.
What php script are you using to send the emails? It is
probably out of date
if it doesn't address this issue.
Off Topic: suggest never arguing with hosting support. Even
it the person at
the other end of the phone is an 18 year old drone not
earning their salt.
Move the site if needed. Develop social engineering skills to
get things
done.

Contact Form Submission Error

I've got a website on which there is a "Contact Us" form. I have set the submit button to send the form to the email address [email protected] This is the address associated with my Adobe ID. However, instead of receiving a simple form submission, I get the e-mail that I've attached below.

Have you heard about this workaround? I attempted it, but it didn't work for me.
"You then need to edit the following: ( line 103 )
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $to_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.2.0.284 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;
This needs changing to the following:
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $to_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.2.0.284 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;
The form will now work with hotmail, Gmail etc etc
Hope this helps anyone having the same problem "

My PHP form no longer works?

Hi
http://www.collegestudentvoice.com/form/form.php
1. Programmer says there is no coding errors. Nothing has changed.
2. Host says there must be coding errors.
3. There may version incompetibilities with Perl script between the form and the host version.

bregent,
you have explained everything was is happening.
Mine firewall setttings block the scrip so when I fill the form and submit it, I do not get any errors, but that form information does not go anywhere.
All firewall setting should be OFF when a form is submitted?

Can you auto-attach files in a PHP form?

Hi there,
Have been looking over everywhere for a solution to my problem. I am going to try and be as clear as I can about the problem.
I have had some experience making simple PHP forms that let the user put their name, email, subject and body text and send it in an email using the form.
But for a project I am currently undertaking - the client has requested a form that will pre-attach a particular document to the email when it is sent. All the user has to do is input the email address of the adressee and their name/email address and all the other fields are custom made (i.e. subject, body text) - and the email will be sent to the selected recepient with the file already attached.
I was envisaging the PHP script would collect the reference for a file that is already sitting on the web server and attach it in the function.
Is there anyway to do this? Because if it isn't I may as well tell the client to go and use outlook - because the web form will really have no purpose.
Thanks in advance

Hi have proceeded along the path of inserting links
into PHP generated email but I am having trouble in outputting the body message in HTML - All I get out
in the output email is the HTML tags with the text (plain text).
Did some research and found out that I have to determine the content type/charset.
I have tried to do this in my PHP but to no avail. Also I am not getting the email or name of the sender in the email that is generated....
Anyway, there is the PHP code (and it's not that tight but it works):
AND SOME DEFAULT TEXT THAT WILL CONTAIN LINKS TO NECESSARY FILES TO DOWNLOAD:
link to PDF '.$field_message; $headers = 'From: '.$cf_yremail."\r\n"; $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$cf_yremail."\r\n"; /* If your e-mail is not valid show error message */ if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $mail_to)) { ?>
Any help on this would be much appreciated....
Thanks

Code issue in php form - submit button not sending email

Created a form that was originally supposed to open up to 2 pages depending on what was clicked. Clear would send you to an error page, and submit would send you to a thank you page. Decided that was a waste and so did not create the html pages. BUT, wanted the form info for the contact page.
Here is the issue: it will not submit when submit is clicked. It clears when you click clear, but there's no email coming from the site via submit.
Do I need to edit the php form code if I don't want the other pages? I've looked at what I have but I don't see if there is a form error or anything here. Here is the code for anyone who wants to have a look. Thanks in advance.
<?php
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = "EMAIL FROM WEP PAGE - CONTACT - ";
$EmailTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "EMAIL FROM jennylowhar.com - CONTACT -";
$name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
$telephone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['telephone']));
$email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email']));
$comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['comments']));
// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($name)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($email)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
exit;
// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "name: ";
$Body .= $name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "telephone: ";
$Body .= $telephone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "email: ";
$Body .= $email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "comments: ";
$Body .= $comments;
$Body .= "\n";
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");
// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thankyou.html\">";
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">";
?>

I'm confused by that, but I know this works.
$fname=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['fname']);
$lname=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['lname']);

PS, go back and edit your origial post and REMOVE your email.

PHP Form Emailing Fields But No Data

Hello,
I am running into a little problem with my PHP form script. I am able to email my form and receive a message, however the message has no data, except for where I have check boxes. Can anyone help me solve this dilemma? Some of the code has been remove intentionally.
I will post my code:
<?php
/* Email Variables */
$emailSubject = ' Registration Form';
$webMaster = 'de';
/* Data Variables */
$registrationname = $_POST['registrationname'];
$registrationphone = $_POST['registrationphone'];
$registrationemail = $_POST['registrationemail'];
$registrationdistrict = $_POST['registrationdistrict'];
$registrationposition = $_POST['registrationposition'];
$onecredit = $_POST['onecredit'];
$twocredit = $_POST['twocredit'];
$threecredit = $_POST['threecredit'];
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name of Register: $registrationname <br>
Day Time Phone Number: $registrationphone <br>
Email Address of Register: $registrationemail <br>
Name of School District: $registrationdistrict <br>
Position/Job Title: $registrationposition <br>
Register for 1 Credit: Learning to Use the easyCBM Assessment System: $onecredit <br>
Register for 2 Credits: In-Depth Knowledge of the easyCBM Assessment System: $twocredit <br>
Register for 3 Credits: Enroll in Both of the Above Options: $threecredit <br>
EOD;
$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body,
$headers);
/* Results rendered as HTML */
$theResults = <<<EOD
<html>
<head>
<title>sent message</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="6;URL=http://.html">
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<div align="center">Thank you! Your request has been sent.
You will return to the page in a few moments.</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EOD;
echo "$theResults";
?>

1) I would bring the line <cfoutput query="CheckUser"> lower down in the code, for example, just before the first table tag.
2)These are probably mistakes
<<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<input type="hidden" name="LogDate" value="Now()">
I think they should be
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<input type="hidden" name="LogDate" value="#Now()#">
3) You could revise the action page to:
<cfif isDefined("form.logDate")>
<cfinsert datasource="manna_premier" formfields="LogDate,TerritoryManager,Status,DSRName,ServiceName" tablename="TMStatusLog">
<cflocation url="mp_order_form.cfm">
</cfif>
The table TMStatusLog must of course have columns LogDate, TerritoryManager, Status, DSRName and ServiceName.

Php form processing script

Hi. I got a program to write a php form processing script. My submit form is for photo submission to my domain email. I published to site and did a test to see if it works i got this error:
Warning: require_once(F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot/includes/Upload_Photos-lib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot\Upload_Photos.php on line 24 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot/includes/Upload_Photos-lib.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot\Upload_Photos.php on line 24
What does this mean? How can i solve this so that i can process my form?

See if the below form helps: You need to create a folder on your server named - upload - this is where any files uploaded will be stored (make sure the folder is writable. Also change the email address where the information that someone who has uploaded a file will go to. Look for the following in the code: $to ="XXXXXXXXXXXX.com";
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />

PHP Form Mail Scripts

What is a good resource for pre-made PHP Form Mailer Scripts.
This is for use with a website hosted on GoDaddy.
My client has a few requirements that the GoDaddy script does
not offer (and the script I chose from GoDaddy is uneditable). I
know nothing about scripting but thought I could use a pre-made
script and modify it...is that crazy thinking on my part?
Here are the special requests from my client:
- They'd like to see the time the form was submitted in EST
(the GoDaddy script puts the time in military time in another time
zone in the subject line). Can this appear in the body of the email
as well as the subject line?
- They'd like the form to be sent to the person submitting it
as well as to their company
- They would like to be able to REPLY TO the email they
receive with the form submission and have it be addressed to the
person submitting the form. The current script has the email
addressed to themselves (the company) if they click REPLY TO, so
they are replying to themselves
- Although this has nothing to do with the Form Mailer script
as far as I can guess, they asked that the person filling out the
form be able to print it prior to submitting (in my opinion,
though, if i can have a copy of the submission sent to the
submitter, there's no reason for this). But if anyone knows how to
do this, please let me know.
- Finally, the client wants to know if each submission can
have a unique tracking number assigned to it.
Thank you all. Any feedback is appreciated.

Very easy to use and even someone like me who don't know a
lot of
programming, use it extensively.

PHP form strange behaviors

I have a very basic PHP form coded and whenever I look at it in Live View the bottom third of the processing code appears at the top of the webpage. Uploaded the code does not appear on the webpage and the form works fine, except that the dropdown initial values I have set are ignored.
The form URL: http://affordableroofingcontractors.com/contact-us.php
The dropdown code: (I want "select one" displayed but the form shows "Re-roofing" instead!?)
<select name="service" id="service">
            <option value="0" selected="selected"
            <?php if (!$_POST ||$_POST['service'] =='0') {
    echo 'selected="selected"'; }?>>--select one--</option>
            <option value="Proactive Roof Maintenance"
            <?php if (!$_POST ||$_POST['service'] =='Proactive Roof Maintenance') {
    echo 'selected="selected"'; }?>>Proactive Roof Maintenance</option>
            <option value="Roof Repairs"
             <?php if (!$_POST ||$_POST['service'] =='Roof Repairs') {
    echo 'selected="selected"'; }?>>Roof Repairs</option>
            <option value="Re-roofing"
             <?php if (!$_POST ||$_POST['service'] =='Re-roofing') {
    echo 'selected="selected"'; }?>>Re-roofing</option>
          </select>
The processing code:
<?php
if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST)){
//mail processing script
// remove escape characters from POST array
if (PHP_VERSION < 6 && get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
function stripslashes_deep($value) {
    $value = is_array($value) ? array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) : stripslashes($value);
    return $value;
$_POST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_POST);
if (!empty($_POST['area'])) {
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'SUSPECTED BOT SUBMISSION from ACI quote form';
} else {
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'ACI CONTACT FORM';
//list expected fields
$expected = array('name','company','phone','email','service','building','comments');
//set required fields
$required = array('name','email','phone');
//create empty array for any missing fields
$missing = array();
//assume there is nothing suspect
$suspect = false;
//create a pattern to locate suspect phrases
$pattern = '/Content-Type:|Bcc:|Cc:/i';
   // function to check for suspect phrases
function isSuspect($val, $pattern, &$suspect) {
// if the variable is an array, loop through each element and pass it recursively back to the same function
if (is_array($val)) {
      foreach ($val as $item) {
     isSuspect($item, $pattern, $suspect);
    else {
      // if one of the suspect phrases is found, set Boolean to true
   if (preg_match($pattern, $val)) {
        $suspect = true;
//check the Post array and any subarrays for suspect content
isSuspect($_POST, $pattern, $suspect);
if ($suspect) {
$mailSent = false;
unset($missing);
} else {
//process POST variables
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){
//assign to temporary variable and strip whitespace if not an array
$temp = is_array($value) ? $value : trim($value);
//if empty and required, add to $missing array
if (empty($temp) && in_array($key, $required)) {
array_push($missing, $key);
} elseif (in_array($key, $expected)) {
//otherwise, assign to a variable of the same name as $key
${$key} = $temp;
//validate the email address
if (!empty($email)) {
// regex to identify illegal characters in email address
$checkEmail = '/^[^@]+@[^\s\r\n\'";,@%]+$/';
//reject the email address if it doesn't match
if (!preg_match($checkEmail, $email)){
$suspect = true;
$mailSent = false;
unset($missing);
//go ahead only if not suspect and all required fields OK
if (!$suspect && empty($missing)) {
//build the message
$message = "Name: $name\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Company: $company\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Phone: $phone\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Email: $email\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Service Needed: $service\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Type of Building: $building\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Comments: $comments";
//limit line length to 70 characters
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
//create additional headers
$headers = "From: $email>\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8';
if (!empty($email)) {
$headers .= "\r\nReply-To: $email";
//send it
$mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($mailSent) {
//$missing is no longer needed if email is sent, so unset it
unset($missing);
?>

Hi!
To select php form you should create a menu, fill out the type of "choice of one item of many" or "Select multiple items from the many." Must be inside FORM element and have at the start or end tags. It contains several elements OPTION, otherwise it makes no sense.
Example:
<HTML> <body>
<form method='post' action='all.php'>
     Color Scheme: <br>
    <SELECT NAME="color">
      <OPTION VALUE="Standard" SELECTED> </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Brick'> Brick </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Gray Mouse'> Gray Mouse </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Ship Bottom'> Ship Bottom </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Black Night'> Black Night </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='White Light'> White Light </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Yellow List'> Yellow List </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Pink Myth'> Pink Myth </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Green USD'> Green USD </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Standard'> Standard </ OPTION>
    </ SELECT>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='go'>
</ form>
</ body> </ HTML>2

Insert data into oracle database using a PHP form

I'm trying to enter data into my oracle database table using a php form. When I click submit no data is added. Could someone help me please. I'm new to php/oracle thing.
NOTE: I don't have any problem connecting to the database using php.
Here is the code I'm using:
<?php
// just print form asking for name if none was entered
if( !isset($query)) {
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Name: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=data value=\"$data\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
// insert client's name
$query = "INSERT INTO client (name) VALUES ($data)";
// connect to Oracle
$username = "xxxx";
$paswd = "yyyyyy";
$dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
"(HOST=patriot.gmu.edu)(PORT=1521))".
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
$db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff($db_conn);
?>
Thanks for your help. I will also appreciate a better was to do it.
Tony

resumption and jer,
Sorry I cannot format the code for easy reading!
The page is submitting to itself. See action = \"$uri\". I used the same logic to enter SELECT querries into the database. It pulls and displays data back on the webpage. The code I used for this is below. Compare it with the one above for inserting data into the table.
<?php
// connect to oracle
$username = "xxxxx";
     $paswd = "yyyyy";
     $dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
          "(HOST=patriot.gmu.edu)(PORT=1521))".
          "(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
     $db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
// username and password will be unset if they weren't passed,
// or if they were wrong
if( !isset($query)) {
// just print form asking for account details
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Query: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=query value=\"$query\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
// remove unwanted slashes from the query
$query = stripslashes($query);
// run the query
$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
// Open the HTML table.
print '<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">';
// Read fetched headers.
print '<tr>';
for ($i = 1;$i <= ocinumcols($stmt);$i++)
print '<td class="e">'.ocicolumnname($stmt,$i).'</td>';
print '</tr>';
// Read fetched data.
while (ocifetch($stmt))
// Print open and close HTML row tags and columns data.
print '<tr>';
for ($i = 1;$i <= ocinumcols($stmt);$i++)
print '<td class="v">'.ociresult($stmt,$i).'</td>';
print '</tr>';
// Close the HTML table.
print '</table>';
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff($db_conn);
?>

PHP Form Validation and Insert Records

Hi There,
I've been scratching my head for 2 days and couldn't find a solution.
Here is my problem:
Go to http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTest.php and click the "Send Comments" button.
You will see that the validation works.
Now, go to http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTestInsert.php, this time, I've inserted the "Insert Record" server behavior.
Click the "Send Comments" button again.
You will see the ugly message like "Column 'firstname' cannot be null" in a plain white page.
My question is:
How can I insert the PHP form records in my database and take advantage of the form validation nicely like in http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTest.php
I am attaching the files.
Thank you for you help!

Use simple PHP logic to merge the scripts together.
Dreamweaver automatically puts the Insert Record server behavior code at the top of the script. You need to adapt it so that the validation is done first. If the validation succeeds, use the Insert Record server behavior. If not, redisplay the form.
if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) {
// validate the form input
if (!$suspect && empty($missing)) {
// send the mail
    if ($mailSent) {
    unset($missing);
    // insert the Insert Record server behavior code here

SSL certificate - securing web form submission - privacy, usability and Adobe's UX design ethos

Hi,
(newbie alert)
I'm just learning BC and it doesn't seem too bad. One problem I have is the shared certificate and I wonder if there are plans to address this shortcoming in the short term?
Privacy is a growing concern in Australia (in addition to specific new legal requirements). The web forms that we will use are likely to contain personal information. These should be secured by a certificate.
If you accept that most end users are not tech-savvy then you might agree with the premise that "Users should not see different domain names in the address bar when submitting personal information".
Switching domains, multiple times for web forms submission or ecommerce, is in my view, a pretty simplistic and business-centric (as opposewd to user-centric) design approach to the task.
How does Adobe explain their committment to the end-user and their system design decisions regarding the shared certificate situation? I'd be interested to know if Adobe believes this is a "good-enough" solution based on a range of factors, especially expediency for Adobe. Or are there concrete plans to "fix" this (in my view) sub-optimal situation in the near-term?
Happy to discuss further.
Cheers

Hey there,
It is an integral part of how the system works in terms of the system itself and the business model, So it wont be any way to change it any time soon without a big change from BC on how BC works.
Web forms in BC can be secured with a certificate. Many systems change domain for secure subdomains etc, most people are not tech savy and they actually do not even notice things like change of domain, most actually do not check the SSL certificate. You can even just put graphics of lock symbols and say your form is secure, even when it is not and people fill it in. (Studies have shown this)
With many eCommerce sites, booking sites etc under my belt, with good UI Design and site flow and good information about being secure etc to the end user - No issues with clients and clients happy with the sales they get through. The domain thing has never been an issue.
I seen people complain about it on the forums before but looking at the sites, its the user experience flow of the site itself being the primary problem.
Yep, nice if it was all under the same domain, but this will not likely change in BC especially any time soon, but a site built well - this really does not matter that much, Google for example even offers anaytlitcs settings to work cross domain so they fully well know things like this work on modern websites.
