Using forms to update web pages

I'm desigining a site for someone who doesn't know much html.
It would be much simplier if I could create a form that, when
submitted, updated the information on the website. Can someone
point me to a tutorial or help page on this topic?
thanks.
Holly
ps. this is a band's website and it's for the shows page if
that helps anyone.

I don't know about a tutorial, but I'll invite intervention
from the BIG BOYS by reminding you that a form is a client device
that requires a script of some variety to interact with the server.
I'm doing some work, right now with a group to update a list of
references with no prior knowledge of HTML (architects, eek!). I'll
be using an XML document. The two best ways for you to do this are
to design PHP/mySQL documents as (database) input and edit
documents for the dynamic data, OR to use an XML set to allow your
user to edit and upload what is a formatted text document that
updates the pages dynamically. And, now ... Let the games begin !

  • Printing forms imbedded in web page

    Hi All,
    This is my first post, and I need some help.
    HP Officejet 8615
    Several doctors and dentists have embedded forms on their web page for new patients to complete.  I can't get these forms to print.
    I have tried printing the form from the web page = unsuccessful.
    I have tried saving the form to my desktop and printing it = unsuccessful
    I have run the HP diagnostics and successfully printed a test page.
    My computer:
    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with SP1
    3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium G3220 Processor
    6 GB RAM
    Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, updated
    All MS Security updates installed. Kaspersky Anti- Virus installed. Updated, returns clean scans.
    Malwarebytes Pro up dated and returns clean scans.
    I have no problems with my computer or printer, except I can’t get these embedded forms to print.
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    Ideas and thoughts on the subject...
    You mentioned the word "Acrobat" -- this makes me think you are dealing with a PDF form??
    PDF format can be tricky.  Forms that look OK may or may not actually be something the printer can translate into printer language and spit out as actual print on a page. 
    You could try printing the PDF file as in Image -- this is a tried and true method of printing out PDF files that may be stubborn and won't otherwise print.  See below...
    Things that are PDF:
    PDF file will not print
    Quick fix | Print PDF as image | Acrobat, Reader
    PDF file will not print (2)
    Check your PDF viewer in your browser > Options
    Example
    Firefox > Tools > Options > Applications >
    Portable Document Format (PDF) >> select Use Adobe Reader
    Adobe Reader Download
    ===================================================
    If you get desperate, and you can SEE the form you need on the screen, you can use Snip to grab a screen shot of the form, save the file as an Image, and print that.

    ===================================================
    If you can get the saved form, whatever the format, into a Word file and then perhaps save that Word file into a new PDF file -- and maybe use Word's embedded font feature -- then you might be able get the file to print.

  • I used to have a web page in mobile me and now is closed.  How can I get my webpage data back?

    I used to have a web page in mobile me and now is closed.  How can I get my webpage data back?

    Your web pages on MobileMe have been deleted. If you were using iWeb you wouldn't have been able to open them anyway.
    As long as you have the iWeb 'Domain' file in your user Library, or whatever the program you are using stores the information in, on your Mac you can publish to another hosting service - there are plenty to choose from. More information here:

  • Use html code in web page composer 7.3

    Hi all,
    I have a question about the standard editors of web page composer in 7.3.
    I want to create my own HTML code for the design of the portal page..
    Is it possible to use the code through one of the standard editors?
    At the moment I have created some html pages and store them in the KM content of the portal. Then I make this pages available with the KM Document iViews to use them in the Web Page Composer. The problem now is, that the links to other portal pages doesn't work..
    So is there maybe a possibility to use the html code directly in one of the editors? Or do you know, how you have to define the links to navigate to other portal pages? I tried a href="TBN://..." like the links you get with the Link List Editor, but it doesn't work..
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Regards,
    Lydia

    Hi,
    now we have the tinyMCE editor, where you can insert and edit html-code. It works fine now for the layout,
    but there are still a few problems with the links..
    In the edit mode there are displayed all km images out of the km. But the images aren't displayed under the portal role, when i publish the page. And all the links like one to a wiki or the TBN links doesn't work, too.
    Can anybody help me further?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lydia

  • Firefox does not see my updated web page, but can see it using IE. Why?

    My web site is designed on Frontpage. I updated information of several pages. One page in particular does not show the updated information. http://www.dianedrain.com/RealProperty/TrusteeSalesForeclosures/TRUSTEEpendingTrusteeSales.htm
    Yet, IE does show the page with the updates. Why?

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • Unkown failure when submitting a form to PHP web page

    Hello.
    I've been having a following issue when using Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3.23 and the newest version.
    An error occurred during submit process. Unkown failure.
    This happens when the document is receiving data from web page.
    Following javascript is behind the submit button:
    this.submitForm({
    cURL: "http://path.to.url/index.php",
    cSubmitAs: "XFDF" // the default, not needed here
    In the web page there is a script that processes the data and after that it sends pdf document to the user that has submitted the form:
    header('Content-type: application/pdf');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="confirmation.pdf"');
    readfile('confirmation.pdf');
    The problem only occurs on some computers i've tried this form. I have no idea why this is happening. Any ideas?

    The submit button is in the PDF file.

  • How to send Parameters FORM to PHP WEB Page with method POST (secure)?

    Hello everyone,
    i hope someone can help me to find a solution to this problem!
    i have to send "+precious+" parameters from an oracle form to php page, like username and password, with a secure method... i tried with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT procedure but it uses GET Method and when the web page open up you can read those parameters in the url...no good!
    some suggestion?
    Thank a lot in advance... FMicio

    The other way you have is to make a PJC java bean ...
    which uses HTTPClient library..
    for example:
    PostMethod post = new PostMethod("http://jakarata.apache.org/");
            NameValuePair[] data = {
              new NameValuePair("user", "joe"),
              new NameValuePair("password", "bloggs")
            post.setRequestBody(data);
            // execute method and handle any error responses.
            InputStream in = post.getResponseBodyAsStream();
            // handle response.I have done a multipart form data post to upload files to my db over httpClient.. and other things...
    Or with java.net.* api-s
    try {
        // Construct data
        String data = URLEncoder.encode("key1", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("value1", "UTF-8");
        data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("key2", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("value2", "UTF-8");
        // Send data
        URL url = new URL("http://hostname:80/cgi");
        URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
        wr.write(data);
        wr.flush();
        // Get the response
        BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
        String line;
        while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
            // Process line...
        wr.close();
        rd.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }Or you can call your web page (post data) from your database

  • How do I open a folder and update web page on different computer.

    Hi All,
    I started my iweb page on my powermac at work and have uploaded the pages online. I have saved the page to a folder and now want to work on the updates at home on my powerbook and can't seen to figure out how to open the folder. I've used QuickTime VR photos and the powermac at work is struggling and is sluggish so that's why I want to use my powerbook. In the file column I see "Publish to .Mac, All to.Mac, Folder but no open folder. Help
    Thanks
    Mark

    in order to update a web page on a different computer you're going to have to move the entire site over to the other computer. to do so you need to move the "domain" file that iweb uses.
    The “domain” file is hidden away in <home>/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
    unless you've already moved it to another location on your hard drive.
    there's more detailed info in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303045
    once you update/change the page you want to update and publish, you'll have to move that domain file back to the other computer if you want to use the 'first' computer again to edit your site. if you just want to continue using the 'second' computer then you don't need to move the file back (obviously)
    hope this helps.

  • Embedding a fill in form on a web page

    I have a personal survey form, (multiple choice and fill-in only) on my web site. I use a commercial web form building site. The submit button sends results viewed by going to their site only. I'd prefer the form be emailed to me. To that end I need to learn how to generate code (ideally from templates or existing modules) specific to my needs which I can then embed on my web site. What are good help/support sites of experienced web builders to get ideas and resources for this project?
    Can you suggest any simple database applications that will generate code for such a personal survey form to embed on a web page? Is this doable in HTML or needs be CSS or time for Java or Flash? I want to keep it simple.

  • Keynote 4 - Update web page while presentation is playing ??? Pretty please

    Hello, this would be the 'holy grail' for me. I want to have keynote display web pages live in a real estate office but I don't want the agents having to restart Keynote to make it update the web content. While Keynote 4 is already in the bag - I hope, pray, burn candles, etc. that the Mac guys have included this most wanted feature.
    Has anyone heard rumors from the black hole that is Apple reguarding features for Keynote 4? I know about Jobs iPhone presentation and the possible new effects but LIVE updating is where Keynote needs to go.
    ... I'm going to light another candle.

    I'd like to do this as well - it can apparently be done using Powerpoint on a PC using LiveWeb http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm, but this doesn't work on the Mac version of Powerpoint.
    Surely someone has done this?

  • Updating web page

    Can't seem to update my web page. I make cahnges and hit publish but I get no changes. OK what am I doing wrong?

    Try clearing your browser cache and using another browser. Often this problem is purely local to your machine.

  • Where can I find information about using the Mozilla Help web pages?

    Such as tips to make searching the help pages faster like adding symbols + or - or " which some internet search systems use.
    There is simply too much information offered for me ( a neurologically disabled person - specifically with working memory difficulties [dyslexia, dyspraxia/DCD] ) and all one can do is write yet another new question - which will probably be a repeat of what has been asked before in a different way and increase the already existing mass of information for the next enquirer to 'wade; through!
    The consequence of not knowing where to look for information, is that I just bumble along and never become as proficient using Firefox (and the web and my computer) as might be possible if I had a really good teacher giving personal one to one guidance matching my knowledge gained so far and skill potential.
