Submit button broken

I have created a PDF form in LiveCycle with a button to submit to a ColdFusion URL. I tested & it worked. CF processed the PDF, emailed me the results through CF, and displayed the PDF data. Great! (that was Friday)
Then...Monday came & the form doesn't work anymore
I made a few layout changes only, no changes to form fields or buttons, and the Submit button doesn't work anymore. I have verified the URL & button settings. Now, nothing happens when I hit the Submit. (pdf: http://137.229.22.51/uaf/fsweb/learntoskate_testform.pdf - the result page is currently just a dump of all the fields in the pdf for testing)
I have Acrobat X Pro, LiveCycle Designer ES2, and ColdFusion 8.
Ideas? Help!
Thanks,
Nicki

What I did was open the form directly in Acrobat 9 Pro, outside of a web browser. After the submit button was pressed, the response was returned after about 10 seconds and Acrobat converted it to PDF. I have not tried inside of a web browser or with Reader.
I just did another test and it worked the same way. So it seems to me that it's not a problem with the form, but with your configuration. Can you check the server logs to see if it's seeing the form submission?

Both submit buttons work here in 10.0.2. If you have javascript disabled, enable it. Or if you have noscript addon enabled, disable it. If none of that works then

Sorry, gary. I don't know what you're talking about when you say "I read the secure page in 2010". Feel free to elaborate if you wish but do not expect a response. It's not my interest to explain to you how to do something but I do feel obligated to tell others that what you're telling them is not completely safe. Please understand that I have in fact informed you of the vulnerabilities of your insecure script for as long as we have corresponded, even after the "security" amendment to your page, which is nothing more than a copy of someone else's work of which you unfortunately did not completely understand. No surprise there though given your frequent ignorance of the subject in the messages we have exchanged. I do remember saying something about a year ago to you mentioning your discreet, sweep under the rug mentality of the importance of having a secure script. Unfortunately you have maintained your ignorance and minimal effort on completely understanding (and effectively educating others on) the subject this entire time.
If someone is asking how to build a submarine and you provide a blueprint of how to build a paper boat with a screen door don't expect someone else to tell you how to build a submarine so you can then go and tell everyone afterwards how YOU would build a submarine. However, you should expect someone to tell the OP that was asking how to build a submarine that your paper boat suggestion will not hold water.
Did you read this?
You're testing for the literal characters \r an \n. There are other ways of inserting carriage returns and new lines.
Yep, that's basically what I told you over a year ago. I know that some have been using your email script to inject mail through the headers for sometime now. No one is sending you emails through your contact form anyway since the spry validation is broken, so injection of your server script is the only way to send emails from your contact page for users who have javascript enabled anyway. Perhaps you will now realize that your suggestions may be hurting others rather than helping them, opposite of what my posts regularly achieve. I look forward to your cognitive posts from now on with eagerness and openness to actually learn the methods that others are continuously trying to educate you on so that you will not continue to misinform others as you have been doing for as long as I can remember, which is longer than a year mind you. If you want to cross your arms across your chest and shrug and grunt that nothing is wrong with your script because you tested it that's fine, but when you start telling others to use it and that it's fine that's when the_shocker says whoa dude... it's not fine. Sorry to blow your ego. Swallow your pride and learn about script vulnerabilities instead of attempting to defend your position by on the forum by saying "you never said anything when you looked at my page a year ago" because dude... that's ignorant and, for the record, I did say something to you time and time again.
best,
Shocker

The Submit button does nothing. How can this problem be corrected?

I have seen numerous postings stating that a Submit button on an XFA form will not work. I believe this may be a widespread problem.
The symptoms are as follows:
1. The form is a Designer form (sometimes referred to as an "XFA form") that contains either an HTTP Submit or an Email Submit button.
2. The Submit button works fine if the user has Adobe Professional (bundle of products incluting Acrobat and LifeCycle Designer) installed.
3. The Submit button does not work if the user only has the Adobe Reader installed.
Our users first reported this problem in October, and we have been attempting to determine what changed in our system to make this happen.
The forms were created using Designer version 9.
On Windows 7 and Windows XP test PCs we have tried various versions of the Reader X and get the same results with all of them.
We primarily use Internet Explorer as a browser.
I will admit that I have not read all of the release notes for all versions of Reader X. And I am not even sure if this is a Reader problem.
Please let me know if you are having this problem, and, if you have any thoughts on how to solve it I would very much like to hear from you.

Since this is a Designer form it may be worth posting in the LiveCycle Designer forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es. What works with Reader versus what works only with Acrobat is not only complicated, but it's different for Designer forms. We have very limited experienced people here for Designer forms, Acrobat forms is our thing.
However, I'm quite sure it isn't broken. The many limitations are by design, to sell more stuff.

Which form would work best with a Filemaker database? PDF or HTML? and can we use a submit button to do this?

We are looking at developing work forms for a project that will use a submit button to send the data from the form to a Filemaker database. My question is can this be done with a PDF or do we need to convert it to a HTML form?

The architecture is not submit form - database, not exactly. It's submit form - web app - database. The crucial thing is the web app, perhaps one of CGI/PHP/ASP/others... FileMaker Pro seems a slightly unusual choice for a web back end, but there is a FileMaker Pro Server product. (Regular FileMaker is out of the question).
So, you can have a web app which takes HTML format submits and updates a database. What about PDF?
* PDF can submit the same format as HTML, so the same backend can work
* PDF can submit other formats, FDF or XFDF. The web script could handle these.
Frankly, if HTML is an option I'd go with HTML. There are many important compatibility issues with PDF forms, since so many browsers now do not use Adobe technology, and have their own. In these alternatives, form support goes from nonexistent to flaky, via badly broken.

One submit button - Insert Record and Update Record

I have a form in Dreamweaver CS3, using ASP VBScript and an
Access database. When submitted, the form inserts a record into the
table CountDate01. The record comes from a hidden field that gets
its value from a field within that same table. There is no other
data entered by the user in any other form fields. The info the
form submits comes from: rsDate1Avail.Fields.Item("Date01").Value
I would like if the same Submit button could also update a
record in a second table (registrants) at the same time. I would
like to submit the same info that comes from the hidden field to
the second table. So it would be two actions occurring that both
insert and update in 2 different tables from one submit button. Is
this possible?
Here is the code for the existing form action:
<%
If (CStr(Request("MM_insert")) = "submitDate1") Then
If (Not MM_abortEdit) Then
' execute the insert
Dim MM_editCmd
Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection = MM_MumConn_STRING
MM_editCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO CountDate01 (Date01)
VALUES (?)"
MM_editCmd.Prepared = true
MM_editCmd.Parameters.Append
MM_editCmd.CreateParameter("param1", 135, 1, -1,
MM_IIF(Request.Form("hiddenField"), Request.Form("hiddenField"),
null)) ' adDBTimeStamp
MM_editCmd.Execute
MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection.Close
' append the query string to the redirect URL
Dim MM_editRedirectUrl
MM_editRedirectUrl = "form_FT_4.asp"
If (Request.QueryString <> "") Then
If (InStr(1, MM_editRedirectUrl, "?", vbTextCompare) = 0)
Then
MM_editRedirectUrl = MM_editRedirectUrl & "?" &
Request.QueryString
Else
MM_editRedirectUrl = MM_editRedirectUrl & "&" &
Request.QueryString
End If
End If
Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl)
End If
End If
%>

Yes. Use a command on the redirect page to update the data.

NONE of the submit buttons work anymore!!!!!

I don't believe this!
Yesterday I was working on page zero, which now has a searchfield, a radiobutton and a search button, but no branch because this is not possible.
When you press the search button, the query goes to a different page and shows the results (I used an Iframe to show the results on the regular ultra search page), but for the search button to work on every page, every page needs the same branch, which checks if the search button has been pressed, and then branches to the right page.
After I did that I went to bed and this morning I find out that NONE of my forms can save their data anymore!!!!!
Some of the forms simply submit and show old data, some of the forms give me this error:
ORA-20001: Error in DML: p_rowid=129, p_alt_rowid=ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specification
I really need help on this, I am supposed to deliver this week and now everything is broken.
What I want to know is what can be a reason for a form to submit with a submit button, pretend it is saving and after that show the old data without showing an error?
If there was an error message I could start looking for answers but right now I have nothing.....

How do I create multiple TEBs with one submit button on one page in Captivate 7

I've read other posts on this topic (which refer primarily to earlier versions of Captivate) and am still at a loss as to how to put multiple text entry boxes on a page with one submit button. Here's my scenario:
I am creating test questions.
Each test question has multiple text entry boxes (for numbers only).
Student should be able to enter numbers into the textboxes in any order.
Then there is one Submit button that should initiate validating all the text entries, and move to a scoring page (so I can test it). (What would be best is if this button not only did the above, but also submitted scores to the LMS. But that is not my question at this time.)
I'd like this question to be set up as a template so that I can duplicate it, be able to add or delete text boxes and change the values required in the text boxes.
Here is an image of a sample question page with multiple TEBs. The yellow boxes tell the student where they need to enter text:
Any help or direction to help is appreciated!!

I think the problem here is that Arlhoolie wants all of the different TEBs to behave as if they were part of a single interaction that submits only ONE result to the quiz. Using multiple TEBs in Captivate means that you have multiple scored objects and therefore multiple results being submitted to the quiz.
If you want a single Success or Failure result submitted to the quiz based on the results from multiple interactive objects then there really is no simple way to do it. But you could try using the Infosemantics Interactive Master widget to combine all the TEBs as slave objects that report to the Master Widget, which then reports a single score to the quiz based on the results from the slave objects.
You can learn more about the Master widget here:

http://www.infosemantics.com.au/interactivemaster/help
You can download a free trial version of the widget here:

One caveat you should be aware of is that this widget is not HTML5 compatible.

In LIVECYCLE DESIGNER how do I code a submit button to only submit one page of a multipage PDF

I have a multipage PDF I've designed in Livecycle and have print and submit buttons on each unique form in the document. I am able to create code (which I've copied from someplace) that allows only one page to print but when I click the submit button it wants to submit the entire document. PS - I created the Submit from the blank button and have it set to submit PDF not XML.

I don't think you can submit just a page of your PDF like you printed just a page. The difference is that when you print, the PDF becomes dots on paper, while when you submit a PDF it must remain completely intact to be machine readable, especially since the forms on a LiveCycle (XFA) document can have complex dependencies between pages.

How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click? (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

Can not keep drawable signature option in reader on a form with a mailto: submit button added.

I hope someone has run into this. I have acrobat 11.0.10 to create fill-able forms and reader 11.0.10 to view and fill them. Do to the nature of the forms a drawn signature is required and is available right up until I add a submit button with a mailto: action. Then all that is available in the reader is the digital certificate. I should add that I save the form without reader extensions. Is there a way to add the auto-adressed mailto function for the person filling the form and still keep the drawable signature option for signing?

- is it possible to have more than one form on the page. If so how do
I determine which form is submitted isDefined('form1'),
isDefined('form2') does not seem to work,
/quote
Yes.
- if there are two buttons in the form how can I tell which one was
preses as both seem to return true when tested with isDefined()
/quote
Give the buttons different name attributes. On your action page check
with StructKeyExists(Form, "name_of_first_button") and
StructKeyExists(Form, "name_of_second_button") which one was pressed.

Unable to capture the submit button event in OAF

Hi
I am facing a problem extending the NavigationCO controller on "/oracle/apps/per/selfservice/review/webui/ReviewPG". I just want to throw some exception when the user clicks the submit button in the PFR. I have used the following code but i did not find any solution. Can anyone help me out in this issue. When i used the first method its displaying some error on submitting the page but where as in the second method its commiting the data instead of throwing an exception.
I tried the following methods:
public class XXXNavigationCO extends NavigationCO {
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
if (pageContext.getParameter("HrSubmit") != null)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
pageContext.forwardImmediatelyToCurrentPage(null,true, "Y");
throw new OAException("Test Message");
else{
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
2.
public class XXXNavigationCO extends NavigationCO {
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
if ("HrSubmit".equals(pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM)))
throw new OAException("gsgfshghjgashfa");
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
}

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for the repsonse. I tried the same code but its not throwing the exception its directly launching me the confirmation page. Actaully the controller is redirecting to confirmation page on submit. But now i want to check some condition on submit and throw an exception if the condition is not satisfied. If the condition is satisfied i want the seeded controller action to take place.
I tried using "pageContext.forwardImmediatelyToCurrentPage" and "pageContext.forwardURLToCurrentPage" but i did not achieve success in it.
If the above mentioned "pageContext.forwardURLToCurrentPage" is right could you please give me an example to get thjis resolved.

Hi Kiranmai,
You can capture the event of the radio button in the following way in oninputprocessing.
DATA: event             TYPE REF TO if_htmlb_data,
               radioButton_event TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_EVENT_RADIOBUTTON.
         event = cl_htmlb_manager=>get_event( request ).
         IF event IS NOT INITIAL AND event->event_name = htmlb_events=>radiobutton.
           radioButton_event ?= event.
           ENDIF.
you can get the attributes of clicked radio button in
event->event_class
event->event_id.
event->event_name
event->event_type
event->event_server_name
In layout define the radio button as
<htmlb:radioButtonGroup   id          = "test_id">
        <htmlb:radioButton      id          = "id_red"   text = "Red"               onClick="myClick" />
        <htmlb:radioButton      id          = "id_blue" text = "Blue"          onClientClick="alert('blue clicked')"/>
        <htmlb:radioButton      id          = "id_green" text = "Green"      onClick="myClick" onClientClick="alert('green clicked')"/>
      </htmlb:radioButtonGroup>
Hope this will solve your problem.
Donot forget to assign points for helpful answers.

Hi
I have the below code in the script. I have hardcoded the breakpoint in the event code as see below .
containerfoundation_JS.sendmessageTocontainer(event.target,"submit"," ", " ","","") .
in the event I have the code .
DATA lo_nd_hsr TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_hsr TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_hsr TYPE wd_this->Element_hsr.
DATA lv_pernr TYPE wd_this->Element_hsr-pernr.
break-point.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <HSR> via lead selection
lo_nd_hsr = wd_context->path_get_node( path = `ADOBE.HSR` ).
@TODO handle non existant child
IF lo_nd_hsr IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.
get element via lead selection
lo_el_hsr = lo_nd_hsr->get_element( ).
@TODO handle not set lead selection
IF lo_el_hsr IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.
@TODO fill attribute
lv_pernr = 1.
set single attribute
lo_el_hsr->set_attribute(
name = `PERNR`
value = lv_pernr ).

My submit button on my PDF form is greyed out (will not work) after posting link to PDF on my WordPress website. It works in Acrobat Reader just fine.

This is where you can see the form as clicked through to from the WordPress website page:

The PDF file was created in Acrobat 11, with a submit button. The submit button is actioned to send the form via email. It works perfectly by itself if the form is opened in Acrobat Reader, but once I upload the PDF to my WordPress site the submit button is greyed out, and will not complete the action to send on-click.
How can I fix this please - can anyone offer advice?

Yes. They need to download Reader and then disable Google Chrome's internal PDF viewer and enable Adobe Reader.
FireFox should also be configured to use Adobe Reader and not the internal PDF viewer.
The internal viewers are created to process PDF documents by not including the features and code to process PDF forms.

Submit button broken
