Problems turning off required fields in contact forms

Hello
I have created a form using the "simple contact forms' widget, but I am struggling to turn off required fields. I can see the tick box, but it greyed out, any ideas?
Thanks

Thank you posting.
First name, last name and email address are the mandatory fields and can't be turned off.
Regards,
Aish

  • Pop up Window before saving remembering the need (forcing) to fill required fields in a form

    Hi!
    I searched the "old" forum and have very good help from UVSAR but unfortunately I'm not able to access my message sent to that forum anymore.
    [I could never thank all the people who answered because I keep receiving "Your submission has triggered the spam filter and will not be accepted.""]
    I've have never use Java scripts in my life: I started about three days ago.
    1) I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro X (Windows 7)
    2) I've created a form using Microsoft Word and save it as a pdf file.
    3) After I created a form using Acrobat Pro X;
    3.1.) This form it's not going to be submitted over Internet. It will be send by e-mail to some persons. They will receive it, fill in the form and send it back to me via e-mail. Note: I will save it with extended rights in order to allow to be read with acrobat reader (I'm the only one of the group having Professional edition).
    4) In that form I've created some text fields (for now it's just what I need - no radio buttons, dropdown
    menus, and so...)
    5) Choosed Properties and marked 7 fields as "required";
    6) Used a script I found in here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/784322 (thank you for the authors of the thread)
    if (!event.target.valueAsString) {
    app.alert("My text My text", 3);
    7) This script allows me to remember people to fill that 7 specific fields (when using mouse or tab).
    8) So... What I really need? Here are the reasons for my request for help:
    8.1.) When people use the Acrobat Reader Save button (not a button I created inside the form) it will pop up an alert message. Users will receive a pop up window telling them they need to fill those fields before saving the form and send it back to me. Can someone share a script, please? Thanks in advance.
    8.2.) Is there a way to colorize the fileds that need to be filled? Again I only learned where to insert a java script yestaerday sou I'm not able to write one. I'm sorry for my newbie questions.
    8.3.) Last question: In one of the fields there will be an e-mail address. On the end of the form I want to create a button like "Send by e-mail" and When someone press that button the e-mail will be sent to the address that was written in the earlier specific field. How can I do this (link a button to an e-mail address in a specific field)? Can someone help me with a script or ideas? Hope I was clear.
    8.1.) UVSAR sent me the following code that works fine untill I save the document for the first time. Affter that he never shows me pop up window again.
    var isFilled = true;
    for (var i=0;i < this.numFields;i++){
    var f = this.getNthFieldName(i);
    if (this.getField(f).required && !this.getField(f).valueAsString) isFilled = false;
    if (!isFilled) app.alert("You must complete all the required fields");
    8.3.) With the help of UVSAR I used:
    var mailto = this.getField('emaddr').valueAsString;
    if (mailto!='') this.mailForm({ bUI:true, cTo:mailto, cSubject:"This is the subject", cMsg: "This is the body of
    the mail." });
    else app.alert("Cannot submit form until the email address field is completed");
    but gives me an error (Note: I named the filed with e-mail "emaddr")
    Once again Thank you so very very much to all the kind people who take their time to share knowledge...
    I'm not a native speaker, sorry for some errors
    Best regards
    AC

    Hi ACI wonder if you can share any responses on to your question above?I too have never used a script but, I have the same problems as you in regards to building a form. And wants to have the same 'protection' and message reminders for the end users. Any information, including a script and/or a contact email of experts you can share with me will help tremendously. Thank you so much in advance. Winnie

    No way with just the free Reader. It may be done with Adobe Acrobat.

  • How do I turn off highlighted fields as a setting within a specific document?

    I need to turn off highlighted fields on a specific document, regardless of the users' 'highlight fields' setting. The fields are being filled out with information obtained from an input page on my website (not the pdf itself). After a user hits submit, this pdf pops up, but the fields are: a) highlighted b) changeable. Bonus points if you can tell me how to make the fields so they cannot be changed. Using the 'security' feature and locking with a password does not work if I choose to make the fields uneditable because I don't believe the site can enter the info onto the pdf. Thanks very much.

    Thanks. Read-only might work. Just wondering if changing the fields over to Read-only would preclude my website from being allowed to enter the information which the user has inputted on the website?

  • Problem turning off legacy filevault.

    Hey everyone,
    I began the process of switching over to the new filevault, but have encountered a problem turning off the legacy vault. Everything seemed to be goin well, at first. It took about 30 minutes for copying to complete during decryption. However, it has been hung up at "copying is complete..." for nearly 12 hours now and is showing no signs of moving on. I have received no errors. What can I do to maybe kick start the process again or should I just do a forced shutdown. Any help here would be greatly appreciated because at this point I honestly don't know if I have any other option than a forced shutdown.
    Thanks

    Ok, so I'm answering my own question here but it worked. I ended up doing a forced shutdown (holding down the power button until shut down initializes) from the screen indicating that "copying is complete..." When I restarted (manual restart using the power button again) the legacy vault was off and the new file vault was on and working properly. No data or settings were lost and everything was working properly.
    Thank you to all of you who took the time to look at my initial question even if you didn't have an answer for it.

  • All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can i turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can I turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

  • How turn off auto field adding to "Reset a form"

    Hi,
    I "inherited" some form. Some fields have a "Reset a form" on it (resetting some specified fields in the form). Everytime I change a fieldname or create a new field, that field gets added to the "Reset a form" in all the fields with a "Reset a form" in the document!
    This really bums me out, because It's costing me loads of work just to change all the settings back to normal.
    Any way to turn this "feature" off?
    Would be a great help!!

    I was hoping someone could point me to a setting I could change. Probably there isn't a setting. I'll have to consider it a bug then. I'll try and report the bug to Adobe (hope they're listening).

  • Apparently Sync Manager is turned off for syncing my contacts and calendar to using Blackberry Desktop Software - how can I switch it ON?

    I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 a few months ago.
    Up till then I was happily able to sync mac Contacts and Calendar to my Blackberry Curve 9320 via Blackberry's Desktop Manager (for Mac).
    Since upgrading the software tells me to that Mac Sync Manager is turned off.  I know it isn't because everything else is syncing.
    When I hunt through your support I find that there are solutions for this problem for other Mac OS versions but not for Maverick, so please tell me how I can once again use my business phone happily as I did before upgrading!
    Many thanks

    BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
    BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
    Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
    For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

  • Problem turning off Filevault

    Hi,
    I am trying to turn off Filevault, but when I try to do it, a dialogue box appears saying I have insufficient diskspace. The problem is, it says an additional 4080 GB are required! Unfortunately I don't have access to a drive of such capacity, and my internal drive is a mere 80 gigs. Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Any advice is appreciated!

    It appears that it's a bug.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/
    en/mh1908.html has some information on the size
    requirements, but doesn't address the problem you're
    seeing. A search in thise forums for filevault
    or file vault should bring up similar
    problems. AFAIK, the best thing for you to do is
    backup your home folder to another volume, create
    another admin user account, log into the new account,
    delete the problematic account without saving the
    data, recreate the account, using the same
    username/password combo, log into it, copy the
    Most importantly, use the same UID/GID or you will end up locking yourself out of the old account and, if the account is an administrator one, you will be locked out of your Mac administration, too.
    appropriate items from the backup, and don't enable
    FileVault.

  • Turn off wireless Syncing for Contacts

    Blackberry Desktop software will not sync, (via Outlook 2010) claiming that the wireless tab is activated for the Contacts on my blackberry 9700. This has been turned off, phone restarted via a cold restart, yet I still cannot sync the contacts. All other syncs, calendar, Memo, Tasks sync fine.

    I have a 9800 and I was trying to sync my contacts and I had the exact same problem. It was really frustrating but I finally figured it out. I don't know all the details.. I just know how it worked for me. From the homescreen click contacts. Once contacts is open, hit the menu button and click options. Contacts Options will pop up and for me there were 3 options at the top ( Contact Display and Actions, Recent Activites, and AT&T Address Book) then a gray divider line that says "Contact Lists". Under that divider line was my personal email address. I clicked my personal email address and a second window pops up that has THE CHECKBOX.. the one the instructions refer to (THE needle in the haystack). I unchecked that box and magically in desktop manager, after hitting the "configure settings button" it worked. Hope this helps! believe me i know how frustrating it is. The instructions in desktop manager should be more precise!

  • Can I turn off iMessage for one contact?

    My wife recently switched from the iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S3, and in order to be able to send her a text message, I have to turn off iMessage. Is there any way to turn it off for an individual contact instead of turning it off completely? Or can I tell my phone she no longer uses her Apple ID for imessage?

    She should switch iMessage OFF on her iPhone, change her Apple ID password, delete her profile registeration.

  • Problem with 'Reply-To' on PHP contact form...

    Hi guys,
    I've created a PHP contact form which works perfectly; except, when I receive the email to my inbox and go to reply to it, it doesn't reply to the email address of the person who submitted the form - in the reply field it appears to have the default server email address.
    Here's my code which I have included in the same PHP page as my form:
    <?php
    if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST)) {
        $name = $_POST['name'];
        $email = $_POST['email'];
        $formMessage = $_POST['message'];
    if (empty($name)) {
    $warning['name'] = "Please provide your name";
    if (empty($email)) {
    $warning['email'] = "Please provide your email address";
    if (empty($formMessage)) {
    $warning['message'] = "Please type your message";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Enquiry from website";
    $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";
    $message= "

    <td colspan='2'></td>
    </tr>
    <tr bgcolor='#eeeeee'>

    </table>
    $url = stripslashes($_POST["url"]);
    if (!empty($url)) {

    exit();
    if (!isset($warning)) {
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    header( 'Location: http://www.mydomain.com/thankyou.php' ) ;
    ?>
    Can anyone see from my code why this would be happening?
    Thank you very much and hope to hear from you!
    SM

    Sorted!
    I removed...
    $headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
    ...and added...
    $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";

  • Problems with php script in the contact form

    Hello, I am from the Czech Republic and I am not a coder. I have 2 problems with my php sript. I am using a simple php script from Paul Trani, see below.
    Firstly the email adress - when someone inserts an email adress in this form [email protected] it is OK, but when someone writes an address for example [email protected] (this type of adress is very common in our country) the answer is "That is not a valid email address.  Please return to the previous page and try again." I think the problem is the dot before the @.
    Secondly diacritical marks - Since I am from the Czech Republic we use diacritical marks (for example š,č,ř,ž,á,í,é,ě) so instead of this letters a get ? or Å&#153; or Å¡ to my email.
    I really do not know how to fix these problems.
    Thank you for any help. Sorry for my English. Peter

    ereg() has been deprecated, it is recommended that you dont use it.
    You want to look at this
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php
    Within this page I found this:
    If you need to check for .com.br and .com.au and .uk and all the other crazy domain endings i found the following expression works well if you want to validate an email address. Its quite generous in what it will allow
    <?php
            $email_address = "phil.taylor@a_domain.tv";
         if (preg_match("/^[^@]*@[^@]*\.[^@]*$/", $email_address)) {
             return "E-mail address";

  • Problem:  Turning off/Connecting to Computer

    My ipod will not turn off!! The play/pause button will not get my ipod to turn off. In addition, it's forever stuck in charging mode, draining battery until it turns off. I tried to reset it by connecting it to the computer, but it wont connect (nothing happens on the ipod or the computer) nor will it charge with the computer. Fortunately, I tried to put it into a dock charger, and that worked in charging the ipod again, but the problems above still remain.
    What is wrong with this thing? Last time I used it was not too long ago, I added some songs to my ipod and everything was fine and dandy! Is it a battery problem that's affecting the ipod? Should I get the battery replacement thing apple offers (my warranty has expired).

    This doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks though
    I made a miscomment.
    The ipod turns off when I press the play/pause, but then it turns on automatically after 1 sec and says charging (if it's in the charger) or it says charged if it's not hooked up to anything.
    I can't read the battery levels.
