Submit button - help

Hello all,
I have a jsp page which has a few input text fields and a Submit button.
When I enter data into these fields and click on Submit, these data get inserted into the a database table.
I generate a password every time I click on the submit button.
Now, even if I do not enter any data into the fields and click on Submit, the password gets genereated and gets added into the database, which should not be the case.
How can I improve this? All help appreciated by this newbie.
Thanks
Regards
Aparna

Hey friend,
well one of the options for solving your problem is while declaring the database table declare a inteigrity constant that the password field should not be null.
So you can direclty get the exception of it.
But this increases lot of load.
It would really gud if at all you can do all this validations at the client side iteslf using java script or some other dynamical mechanism.
Regards,
RAHUL

Submit button help (please)

I have tried asking for help on this topic before, but didn't get any replies. So I try again.
I have created a pdf form with a submit button that submits the form to a webservice url. I submit it as HTML.
I receive the form data just fine in my webservice, but I don't know what to return. It seems that the webservice always returns something. I have tried returning a string but get the following:
Is it possible to return a message saying that the form was receive ok or that an error occurred?
Does anyone have an example?
Thanks

When you have a form, the form has to point to something so that the action of pushing a button on the page has the website do something.
<form method="post" action="dothis">
That pretty much needs to lead the form. In my case, "dothis" is a php page that does the actual heavy lifting. I do not think it is a good idea to put a "mailto" on a website because it invites spam. One might as well announce one's email address to all of the spambots in the world. I don't do that for myself and I won't do that for a client.
So, in my case, "dothis" is a php call.
Here, your question probably needs to migrate over to the php help area, but I'll offer a solution:
<?php
mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from);
?>
In php, the "mail" command will tell a server (that can send an email) to send an email to the address, along with the text that you have set up for the email subject, the text of the message and the text you gathered from the form for either the name or the email address of the person filling out your form.
The "dothis" php call takes the information from the filled out form as a post and you use php to parse that posting for the information you need from your form. You can also have php check for form validity or for blanks where you don't want them and stop the script if the visitor did not fill out the form:
if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,".")))
echo "<h2>Use Back - Enter valid e-mail</h2>\n";
$badinput = "<h2>Your message was NOT submitted</h2>\n";
echo $badinput;
die ("Go back! ! ");
if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($visitorphone) || empty($notes )) {
echo "<h2>Use your Back button - fill in all fields, No message was sent.</h2>\n";
die ("Use back! ! ");
The first "if" statement checks for something approximating a real email address, the second checks for blank fields that are required.
That should get you started.

Help with making an Email Submit button on a form!

Im making a form using livecycle for the first time.
Im trying to put on it a email submit button - i used email submit field and made the button. Then in the Objects Palette, in the box that says email address i put in the email address that i want it to be sent to. I then tried to email the form, and i received an email, but the attachment was just a bunch of codes, not the form. I want the email to come through with the PDF form.
I searched on help and this is what i found:
3.
In the Control Type area, select Submit. Data will be submitted according to the settings in the Submit tab.
4.
Click the Submit tab and type the URL protocol in the Submit to URL box.
To
Use this URL protocol
Example
Submit the package to an ftp site
ftp
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GPL
Submit the package to a web server
http
http://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to a secure web server
https
https://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to an email address
mailto
mailto:[email protected]
5.
Select PDF from the Submit As list.
I cant find where to change these options - can someone help?
Thanks!

Hi,
The issue is that if the form is not Reader Enabled, then users with Reader cannot submit the form as a PDF.
They can submit it as an XML file and then you would re-import this back into the form on receipt. It is an extra step, but it does have the advantage that the data being submitted as an XML file is very small.
If you really need/want the form to be submitted as a PDF AND your users have Reader, then the form will have to be Reader Enabled.
There are two options:
Reader Enable using Acrobat Standard (version 9) or Acrobat Professional (version 8). This will give certain rights, like the ability for users with Reader to save the form and for the form to be submitted as a PDF. However there are licensing restrictions, see EULA.
The other option is to Reader Enable the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2. This is a server product, which entails additional cost and a cost to Reader Enable each form. It is intended for processing large volumes of forms/large volumes of data.
There is a summary here:
http://assure.ly/gYyYc2
So there are a couple of options.
Form NOT Reader Enabled:
Users cannot save the data they input.
Data must be submitted as an XML file and processed on receipt.
Form IS Reader Enabled:
Users can save the data they input.
Data can be submitted as a PDF (or XML file).
Hope that helps,
Niall

Trying to delete "submit" button. Tried unsucessfully 5 times. Need help and want to start over.

I created a pdf that I just wanted people to be able to fill in, download, print out and then mail to me. I followed the instructions from a previous acrobat expert who replied to me yesterday and that did not work. Now, I've tried this 5 times and the system has blocked me out unless I pay for your advanced system which is $143. Please help
Re: Want to delete the "submit" link on a pdf

Hi,
I believe this is a form that you created with FormsCentral and then you downloaded/saved as PDF via the "Save Submission-Enabled PDF" button via the Distribute Tab.
Please select via FormsCentral app main menu:
- File -> Save As PDF Form... and then
- when you get the dialog "Would you like your PDF form to collect responses online in the "View Responses" tab?" select "Don't Collect Responses" button.
This will save the PDF form without the Submit button/link.
Thanks,
Lucia

The instructions Lucia gave you were correct. It seems you have a Basic trial account (5 forms). You can just delete the forms you are not using so you can create more. Can you explain in more detail how those instructions above didn't work? I think there is some confusion so any details you can provide will help clear it up.

Need help with Submit button

I'm needing a script that locks all of the fields once the submit button is pressed and it's emailed to someone else. Is that possible? Thanks in advance for your help.

Right now I'm using javascript to submit the form. I'm using
     this.mailDoc({
     bUI: true,
     cTo: [email protected],
     cSubject: ""
So I need to incorporate the script you gave me with this script that I'm already using?

Help required with submit button

Hi,
I need a little help with the submit button. The user submits the form as PDf to a servelt using submit button. The form submitted is validated at server side. If there are any errors the error messages are to be displayed to the user as a part of Form.
My approach was to have a hidden field present in the form. Once the error messages are recieved the field is to be populated with these messages and made visible true.
Problem with my approach:
1) How to send back data to the field using the servlet code which we have?

Unless if you use a Webservice, sending data back to form from the Servlet may not possible.
Once the form submits the data to the Servlet, the connection will be lost between the form and Servlet.
But if you use a Webservice, you can trap the response and display it to the user.
Other alternative to Servlet approach is, display a another page in the browser with the response.
So the user after submits will be notified of the result in a new window.
Thanks

Help with submit button remove null value

Hello,
First of all I dont know much about java, but I wanted to create a submit button and I did alot of research. I want a button that will email some pdf files I have created in LiveCycle. So far everyting works but my code needs help.
There are a few fields I want to be place in the body of the e-mail, but if left blank I dont want null to apear on the email subject or body.
Here is what I have so far *this is a work around I like to konw the proper code.
var
strToAddress, strCCAddress, strSubject, strMessagestrToAddress
= myemail@atwork;strCCAddress
= myemail@atwork;
strSubject
= "Account "+DropDownList1.rawValue+" For: " +last.rawValue +", " +first.rawValue +" " +mi.rawValue;
if
(mi.rawValue ==null || mi.rawValue =="")strSubject = "Account "+DropDownList1.rawValue+" For: " +last.rawValue +", " +first.rawValue;
strMessage
= "Please " +DropDownList1.rawValue +" account for " +"\n"+first.rawValue +" " +mi.rawValue +". " +last.rawValue +"\n\n*All provisions in have been met" +"\n\n Comments: " +com.rawValue;
if
(mi.rawValue ==null || mi.rawValue =="")strMessage = "Please " +DropDownList1.rawValue +" account for " +"\n"+first.rawValue +" " +last.rawValue +"\n\n*All provisions in have been met" +"\n\n Comments: " +com.rawValue;
event.target.submitForm({cURL
:"mailto:"+ strToAddress + "?cc=" + strCCAddress + "&subject=" + strSubject + "&body=" + strMessage,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
//this.resolveNode("#event").submit.target = "mailto:"+ strToAddress + "?cc=" + strCCAddress + "&subject=" + strSubject + "&body=" + strMessage;
The 4 fields am working on are First name, last name, Mi and comments. First and last are alwasy used, but if MI is not I dont want Null in there, with what I have above it works but its messy. I wanted to do the same with Comments if its left blank I like for it to read "Comments: None" not null
on the If statement I just re did the whole deal with out the mi.rawvalue but i now that is not right way... any help would be great.
Thanks

I believe that you should re-post this in either the Forms or the Designer forum. You are more likely to get the right folks to look at it there.

Help with submit button, signatures and locking fields

https://acrobat.com/#d=sCcToPsLqquP0uePmVL1pQhttp://https://acrobat.com/#d=ZsRL5CeME*4iV3VHnvUFXw
Well here's a doozy for ya. I have no idea what I'm doing as you will be able to see when you look at my form.
What I want to happen is to have the user fill out the form, choose the operations manager and select submit button associated with the drop down box. All other dropdown boxes and submit buttons should be hidden. I need the form to lock so there are no edits except the signature field, the next dropdown box and submit button. I'd like to customize the email with a specific subject line and specify the email address based on the person selected from the drop down box. I'd like this to repeat itself until there are no more signature fields left. It is very important that this document follow the order specified.
I tried to use an example Niall put out there to use regular buttons as submit buttons with script. I changed a couple things and it worked to submit the form based on the person selected but I still do not know how to lock the fields. Long story short, I broke what did work and don't know how to do what I really want to do or fix what had once worked. I don't understand javascript so please, if you're willing to help teach me, be patient and spell it out like i'm speaking a foreign language.
Oh boy, even I don't want to do this. What a mess!

Email submit button(s) help

I have a 5 page form and I need each page to go to a different email adress. I have put a different email submit button on each page, but is there a way to script the button to only send the current page and not any of the others? Or have one main email submit button that sends each page to a different email address? I am new to Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES, but I have a (VB) programming background, so it seems like it should be possible with code Thanks
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES ver 8.2

Hi,
The submit by email function will attach the complete form to the email. It cannot (afaik) split a form into five different PDFs.
However there are workarounds.
If you save the form as a Dynamic XML form in the save as dialog, then you can show and hide pages.
Here is an example of a form that changes the presence property of pages, depending on the choice selected from the dropdown.
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/category/portfolio/showing-and-hiding-pages/
When it comes to something like this it is helpful to split the script. The mouseUp event fires before the click event.
For example for the email button on page 1, you can modify the script in the example to hide each of the pages 2-5 in the mouseUp event and then in the click event have the email script. In the postSubmit event you could have script to show all the pages again.
A word of caution - if the user has Reader then the form needs to be Reader Enabled, otherwise the submit as PDF will fail silently.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Php sql image editor - help with submit buttons!

Hi,
I have recently setup a website for my real-estate company, with a makeshift CMS behind it for my staff to use when updating properties.
I have a slideshow on my site for each property, which is populated through sql blobs (I know alot of people dont think this is the best method but I have managed to get it working so I am happy with it!).
Assuming the database has 4 fields - id, image1, image2, and image3 - I have managed to build separate pages to edit image1, image2 or image3 based on the id as per:
<?php
$db_host = 'xx';
$db_user = 'xx';
$db_pwd = 'xx';
$database = 'xx';
$id=$_GET['id'];
?>
<?php
if (!mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd))
    die("Can't connect to database");
if (!mysql_select_db($database))
    die("Can't select database");
function sql_safe($s)
    if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
        $s = stripslashes($s);
    return mysql_real_escape_string($s);
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
          if (!isset($msg))
                $data = file_get_contents($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name']);
                $data = mysql_real_escape_string($data);
                mysql_query("UPDATE slideshow SET image1='$data' WHERE id='$id'");
                $msg = 'Success: image uploaded';
        ?>
<html><head>
<title>Slideshow Images</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/plain; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<table width="974" border="1">
    <tr>
      <td width="158"><img src="ss/show_slideshow1.php?id=<?php echo $id ?>" alt="Image1"></td>
      <td><?php
if (isset($msg))
?><?=$msg?><?php
?>
</td>
<td width="664"><form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="photo" id="photo">
<input type="submit" value="upload">
</form></td></tr></table>
The above code will display image1, and let me edit it using a simple submit button.
What I am trying to do though, it to get all the images for the property where id ='$id' on one page with respective edit buttons. I can display them all on the same page easily, but cannot seem to crack the UPDATE form for each image.
Appreciate any advice or help in solving this!!
Thanks
Jack

Your code has been been copied to the end of the style rules.. not the rest of the html.
It would actually be better if you could provide a link to the live site, it's always much better for troubleshooting purposes to see the live page.
Can you do that?

No submit button in distributed form - JavaScript help

I have creted a from in Live Cycle Designer. After distribution submit button is not visible in Acrobat and Reader. I've looked at the form JavaScript and find out this part of code which probably hide submit button in Acrobat 9:
showAutoGenSubmitBtn = function(bShow)
    var autoGenSubmitName = "%AUTO_GEN_SUBMIT_NAME%";
    var fld = this.getField(autoGenSubmitName);
    if (fld != null)
        var b= this.dirty;
        if (bShow)
            fld.display = display.noPrint;
        else

I'm distributing the form in Acrobat Pro 9.
I created the form in Live Cycle Designer. Save, then open in Acrobat pro. Extend Features to Acrobat Reader, click the drop down box on Forms and hit distribute. I save a local copy. When I open the distributed form the buttons do fall silent, the Submit Button on the purple line up top still works, but that doesn't appear in reader and the people who will be completing the form all use reader. Any suggestions for a fix?
I'd like to distribute because that automates the tracking. It works undistributed.

Shortcut on Quiz Submit button make "click" not work! CP8 - HELP

Can someone help me out here?
Okay, I have a few quiz questions. If I have not shortcut on the submit button, it works just fine. If I put "Enter" on the submit button, I cannot click it. Yes, Allow Mouse Clicks is checked.
I would like my users to be able to press enter or click.
Running cp8 on win 8.1. Tried in preview mode, as well as published in IE and Chrome.
Feels like I'm losing my mind! I have also tried with accessibility enabled and not. Not that it should make a difference, but I tried it.
Thanks for any insight gang,
Lori

Looks like I have fallen victim to the transparent button again. When I switch the quiz buttons to text or image, the shortcuts on them work just fine. Then they are transparent I have issues. The nice thing about transparent is that you can color them. Because you can't use smartshapes as actual quiz buttons (submit, etc) at least not that I'm aware of, I have had to place a smart shape on the masterslide and overlay a text button with "make transparent" selected on top to make my buttons look AND behave correctly. Adobe is now aware of the issue.
