Submit Button Hidden, Visible, Disappear

I need to have a submit by email button that is hidden until a box is checked. Then once the user clicks the submit button then both fields disappear.
My check box is named: StaffSubmission
My submit by email button is named: StaffSubmit
Thank you for helping

If formcalc:
in the change event of the checkbox put:
if ($ == 1) then
StaffSubmit.presence = "visible"
else
StaffSubmit.presence = "hidden"
endif
in the click event of the button put:
StaffSubmission.presence = "hidden"
$.presence = "hidden"
in the docReady event of the button put:
if (StaffSubmission == 1) then
$.presence = "visible"
else $.presence = "hidden"
endif

Don't shoot the messenger, but it seems to have fixed itself (I did reboot my Bold last night!). Is this magic or is there really a logic to this?

I am trying to set up my newly purchased Apple TV but when I enter my network password while setting up, I am not able to enter the Submit button, any idea how to hit the visible submit button that is visible on screen but not responding?

You need to use the right arrow on the remote to go all the way to the right. The submit button will be highlighted and you can then press select on the remote to proceed.

Hidden Email Submit Button & Mandatory Check Boxes

Hi guys
I'm trying to get my form to only allow people to return the form (via email) once they have accepted the terms and conditions AND the privacy policy.
Their acceptance of these is confirmed by 2 check boxes called acceptservicesterms and acceptprivacypolicy respectively. For each of these check boxes I have added this script to 'initialise':
this.mandatory = "error";
this.mandatoryMessage = "You must accept our Services Booking Terms and Conditions to request a booking";
I have then set my email submit button (EmailSubmitButton) to 'hidden (exclude from layout)' and created a 'fake' email submission button in its place. The click event for the FakeEmailSubmitButton is scrpited as:
if (acceptserviceterms.rawValue != "bookingtermsagreed")
xfa.host.messageBox("You must accept our Services Booking Terms and Conditions to request a booking");
else if (acceptprivacypolicy.rawValue != "privacypolicyagreed")
xfa.host.messageBox("You must accept our Privacy Policy to request a booking");
else
EmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");
Where the 'on' values are 'bookingtermsagreed' and 'privacypolicyagreed' respectively.
Unfortunately, this hasn't worked for me - I'm not sure if the javascript is completely correct, or if I have gone about this the right way. Can anyone shed any light on what I've done wrong please?
Thanks in advance

if (acceptserviceterms.rawValue != "bookingtermsagreed")
in this line the field name is acceptservicesterms but u typed as acceptserviceterms - letter s missing.
after this correction i am able to see the error messages.

My eBay pages don't work properly. There are parts missing. The symbols on the My eBay page have gone. The £ paid sign, checkout, feedback, and probably more. I can't list an item as the submit button has disappeared. It all works fine on IE.

I can’t list an item, as the submit button has disappeared.
It all works fine on IE. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but still the same.
How can I regain my missing bits please.

Submit button disappears when returning to the quiz slide

Hi everyone,
We just upgraded from Captivate 4.0 to 5.5. I'm learning 5.5 differences from 4.0 and have one that I can't figure out.
On the quiz slides, if the learner moves back and forward within the quiz slides, the quiz buttons are fine. However, if they click Back on the 1st quiz slide, then go forward to the quiz slide the submit button flashes briefly then disappears for that slide and all the other quiz slides. I can't find a setting to fix this.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds like a quiz scope issue. If you click back on the first quiz slide that would take you to the slide BEFORE the first quiz slide which is technically outside the quiz scope. This usually results in Captivate locking the quiz.
I haven't personally seen this button disappearing act but you can test whether quiz scope is the likely culprit by adding a scored click box to the first slide of the project, which will then extend the quiz scope out to that slide. If this prevents your quiz slide buttons from disappearing, we know where the issue comes from. That may mean you have still found a bug that needs to be fixed though.

Use CheckBox to make Submit Button visible

I am making a form with LifeCycle Designer and want a check box that says basically "I accept these terms". Users have to check it before submitting. I thought perhaps I could make the submit button invisible and code the check box with something like
if (this.getField("MyCheckBox").value; == 1)
{EmailSubmitButton1.presence = "visible"};
but I'm not sure of the script or where to place it to get it to work. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Karen

View the following images for some help...
1) http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=designer1bg0.jpg
You need to expand the code portion of the interface if you haven't already done so, by clicking on the arrow (part circled in red) shown in the image.
2) http://img219.imageshack.us/my.php?image=designer2wb0.jpg
When you have your object highlighted (in my example I dragged a button on, you should choose the checkbox on your form) choose "change" from the event dropdown.

Enter your code in the provided space, make sure your language is set to JavaScript and not FormCalc (dropdown circled in red).

Next & Submit Buttons disappeared!

The next & submit buttons disappeared on the last few pages of my form, please help me put them back!
Perhaps the show/hide selection is off?
Can that be placed in the save state without a condition, if so, how so, or what will a condition be that keeps it in the show state?

Here's the Link to our imbedded FORMSCENTRAL form.
https://www.voyagerautosales.com/financeform.aspx

The problem is that the SUBMIT BUTTON appears too early when the user has not answered all the
questions in the form.

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

Issue with Submit button

Last October, I created a fillabe form via LiveCycle. I distributed the forms and they all worked initially on the receiver's end. The past couple of months, people have been informing me that the "submit" button has disappeared. Why would this happen? Even I have opened the form on my computer and the submit button is not there, even though it states in the purple bar at the top "to submit form by clicking submit".....Any ideas?

Hi,
this is the VBA code we are using.
The below sheet is the report where user manually writes values and then another input form is attached to this report where the entered values get multiplied by 1000 and then this data gets sent to database.
The values entered in the below report does not get submitted to database because, save button is grayed out. Only TIME dimension is active on this report to get the time period.
SUBMIT button is created on the report tab and input schedule is hidden.
Now the below screenshot is the migrated evdre input shedule where data from 1st report gets multiplied by 1000 and then submitted to database.
SUBMIT button is created on the report tab and input schedule is hidden.
On the above lines, we have 2 more reports and 2 more input schedules in the same Input schedule. That is to say, we have 3 report sheets and 3 input sheets in 1 single report.
SUBMIT button is configured on all the three report sheets and input schedule sheets are hidden.
To reiterate the issue again, when we click on submit button the screen flickers and goes through all the reports and when data is submitted the screen appears to the same report from where submit button is clicked.
Please let me know if you need more infromation.
Regards,
Ashwin.

Email submit button causing required error when all required fields are filled in

It looks like if I have more than 1 instance of subform added, my email submit button triggers "..at least one required " error message when all required fields are filled-in.
I toggle subforms between "visible" and "hidden (from layout)". Any suggestion is appreciated.
ralph

The fields that are hidden should have the validate.nullTest property set to "disabled", something like;
TextField1.validate.nullTest="disabled";

Invisible submit button with image rollover

I have a need to combine a rollover image with a form submit
button. I need the submit button to not be visible except for those
that know where to look.
I have a database query that displays rows of data. Each row
has a checkbox to select that item, so the data table is in a form;
the checkbox is a cfinput. In order to pass the parameters of the
checked items, a submit button must be used to submit the form
values.
My need is for the submit button to be the rollover image.
Only users that know where to find the rollover image will be able
to submit the list of checked form values. "Regular" users
shouldn't be in that area of the screen.
So, a combined rollover image submit button is needed.
Ideas? Thanks...Rick...

document.yourformname.submit didn't work.
But then discovered that the href value needs to be empty (or
"#") to work. This code works: (rollover images with the submit()
code):
<a href="#"
onClick="javascript:submit()"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image9','','images/change-meeting-date.png',1)"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()">
<img src="images/blank-hidden-area.png"
name="Image9"
width="111"
height="11"
border="0"
id="Image9" />
</a>
When, in DW, you add the rollover image, you need to leave
the href value empty. I suppose that lets the submit button use the
<cfform action...> value as the results page, letting the
form values pass to the results page.
Now, the next step is to have two different rollover images
with submits() that point to two different result pages, while
still using one cfform. (Two submits in one form, each submit
pointing to a different results page.)

Hide submit button in form

Hi all,
I have an interactive form with a submit button that i displayed online thru webdynpro for the user to key in data. And when user clicked on the submit button, i will validate the data in the webdynpro action handler, and will send out a copy of the same form as an attachment in email.
But when sending this form in email, i do not want the email recipient to see the submit button when they open up the form to view. And the form should be in display mode as well.
So 2 questions:
1. how do i go about hiding the submit button and setting the form in display mode?
2. For setting the form in display mode... i currently uses cl_wd_adobe_services create_pdf method to generate the xstring for email, so i can set the enable = ' '. Any other way to do this if i going to use the xstring from pdfsource of the interactive form UI element?

Hi,
For Hiding the UI elements in Interactive form try using Scripts (FormCalc).
The script for hiding the Submit Button is:
<path of the UI element in the Subform>.presence = "visible" / "hidden"
The Script for making a field editable / read-only is:
<path of the UI element in the Subform>.access = "readOnly" (Not Sure about the casing
For more information, refer to the bolg:

    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
            fld.display = display.hidden;
        this.dirty= b;
// Hide the auto-generated submit button for Acrobat/Reader >= 9.0
if (app.viewerVersion >= 9)
    showAutoGenSubmitBtn(false);
else
    showAutoGenSubmitBtn(true);
I am not familair with JavaScript so I would apprecite if someone can help me how to edit it to make submit button visible.

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.

Submit Button Hidden, Visible, Disappear
