Want to make a simple form

I have no experience with making forms or using databases or
anything like that.
But all I want to do is make a form where the user can fill
out info in a series of text fields, which gets sent to my email
address when you hit "submit".
Is this easy enough to do? Can i do this just using html?
Is there just a command I need to put somewhere to tell the
form to send as an email?
If it's not that simple, does anyone know of a good tutorial
for this?

There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on
their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2 is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
problems of method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with
server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
your needs,
but if it's Method 2, then start by asking your host what
they provide for
form
processing.

I want to make a simple line chart

i want to make a simple line chart using the data in two nonadjacent columns.
it seems that the easiest way to do this is to export the sheet to google docs and use THEIR charting, which is a two-click deal.
is there an easy way to do this in numbers?
my impression:
numbers:
very fancy, super pretty, easy to modify APPEARANCE, difficult to use actual charts. custom paint job on a junker
googledocs:
available everywhere, basic, more difficult with actual data flexibility, but you can use what you've got.
the whole emphasis on numbers seems to be how pretty i can make displays, but not a lot of emphasis on making it easy to make things work.
can anyone shed some light on how to make this simple instead of pretty?

You can definitely use the technique I mentioned to order the columns to make it easy to chart:
Here I created a table (the top one) to hold the original data and make a second table (the lower one) to pull data into two adjacent columns:
The bottom table, as I said pulls data from the top data table:
Then highlight the data in the table to chart, and selec the chart type from the menu (I suggest the bar chart which is the first item in the chart tool menu):
I made up this data and mean it to be no reflection on your running ability

How to make a simple form layout without ad RAD tool

I'm trying to make a simple form, but I'm not finding the right layout manager to make the components goes in Y axis. The BoxLayout could solve my problem, if it does not fill all the panel with the components.
My SCCEE:
public class TestSimpleForm extends JPanel {
    JLabel nameLbl = new JLabel("Name:");
    JTextField nameField = new JTextField();
    JButton okBtn = new JButton("OK");
    JButton cancelBtn = new JButton("Cancel");
    public TestSimpleForm() {
     add(nameLbl);
     add(nameField);
     add(okBtn);
     add(cancelBtn);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     JPanel panel = new TestSimpleForm();
     // if i make it a boxlayout panel, the text field size goes huge
//     panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
     JFrame f = new JFrame();
     f.setContentPane(panel);
     f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     f.setSize(400, 600);
     f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
     f.setVisible(true);
}

Beginner (I want to make a simple button with code)(very basic)

I've had some success with AS3, but so far all the code I've
written just runs once the program starts, and thats it. The code
is attached to the first frame of the flash file.
I want to be able to take the code I've already made, and
stick it into a button, so the code will run every time the button
is pressed, without having to reload the whole program.
Basically all I want to do is make a button that runs the
code:
trace('hi');
every time it is pressed.
Once I have that, I can figure out the rest by my self.
Please help.

Is this button on the stage and in the timeline? If it is,
then select the button on the stage and then, in the Properties
window, give the button an instance name if it doesn't have one
yet.
In a new layer, in the first frame, add this code:
buttonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
buttonUp);
function buttonUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("hi");
substitute the button instance name that you used for
"buttonInstanceName" in the first line.

I want to make a simple PhotoBook

I have 50 illustrations I want to turn into a 50 page book, thats it. One illustration (jpg) per page. There has to be an easy way to do this? Help please! I am a beginner, but I looked online and couldn't find anything. Thanks for the help in advance.

I'd recommend that you use Pages instead and save as ePub. Drag the each picture in, center it, add a caption if you want, and insert a page break. When you are finished export as ePub. Using Pages rather than Author gives you the advantage of looking good in portrait mode, having larger pictures, working on different devices. I think this would work well on a simple project like yours. Use author if you want to do more complex things. Another problem is that your project will look awkward in portrait mode if you use Author.

I want to make a simple image editor by as

I do not have any concept about how to scale the image in the
editor.
For example, when the user clicked one of the image in the
editor then he/she can scale the selected image by mouse just like
the scale function in MS Paint..
thank so much~

You can definitely use the technique I mentioned to order the columns to make it easy to chart:

How to make a simple navigating form

Hello All,

To get a single record is ok .. but i want to make a navigating form ..That is by pressing prev button i can b able to c prev row and same by pressing nxt i can c next record..
Can any one tell me how i can do for da below simple query..
Select ename,sal from emp;

Ravi,
Forms has a built-in called
next_record;
previous_record;
that you can try to navigate in a form.
I interprested your post in that "c" means "see" and "b" means "be". Not sure if this was your intention, but if it was, please don't use any abbreviations that confuse the content of your question, because not everybody is willing to spend time on wild guesses.

How to make a search form with required items?

Hi
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 and JHeadstart 11.1.1.2.29
I want to make a Search-form for Searching Employees. I want to search for Last Name OR First Name OR Maximum Salary OR ( Combination ManagerID and DepartmentID). One of these is required.
On the view object for Employees, I defined a view criteria for the search.
In JHeadstart, I disable Quick Search and set Advanced Search to model-samePage and Advanced Search View Criteria to the view criteria I just defined.
But now, I can also personalize the Advanced Search. How can I disable this?
And is this the right way to create such a Search-form or do you have other suggestions?
Regards,

The model-based search is standard ADF functionality.
Jheadstart simply generate the search component on the page. There are a lot of addiitonal properties on af:query that you can set that we do not expose through the Jheadstart application definition editor.
You can create a custom template to set those additional properties.
See the af:query tag doc for more info:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/apirefs.1111/e12419/tagdoc/af_query.html

Wanting to make a 2 player game to play over the internet

I'm wondering what it would take to create a simple game that could be played by two people over the internet? If you can just explain the process. Would I need to have my own website? Could you point to a link to learn more about the process?
I'm wanting to make a simple dice game that me and my aunt used to play. Should be a pretty simple game without a lot of graphics. I move around so much that it'd be nice if I could make this game playable anywhere for both of us. Thanks.

Example
Any ideas / tips?

Hi,
You can send email from InfoPath through various ways it depends on your requirements and your need, follow this article that includes all the steps with image.
http://redcapeco.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/create-a-submit-button-in-an-infopath-form-to-email-recipients/
when you publish the InfoPath form it will deploy to SharePoint site and form will open when you will click on new item from list menu or you can add your InfoPath form as content type in any list in this case also to fill the form you need to go to the
list where you added the content type and need to choose new item from that list.
It you would elaborate your requirements in simple steps we would be able to provide the specific solution for your need.

Create Simple Form Execute Query on Page Load

Hi Everyone.
I have a simple question.
I created a simple form using the wizard based on a table.
The result - 2 pages - One with a report and one linked page for maintaining data in the table (click on edit icon on page1 and page 2 loads executing a query).
My question is this: Where on Page2 can I find the variable that Page1 populated?
Meaning, when page2 loads, it executes a query and uses a variable that was populated on page 1.
I checked under processes, but cannot see the query. Also checked Region and even default value for the primary key.
This is important to me, because I might want to create a simple form that executes a query retrieving all data from the table without a where clause.
Sorry - New to this tool and environment.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Barend

Barend - Check the Automated Row Fetch process on the form page. The report link will pass the primary key value into an item on that page and the process will use the value of that item to fetch the row for the form. You don't see the actual query because it's all declarative, i.e., you "declared" that you want a form populated from a table. We know the item name containing the PK value for the query and we know which items to populate on the form page.

How can I make a simple slideshow on iDVD?

As opposed to the majority of Apple apps that are "user-friendly" I find using iDVD a very awkward, un-friendly application. It offers "drop zones" without me understanding what I should "drop" into them.
I just want to make a simple DVD of a slideshow with some background music ... nothing fancy. I don't need any theme and I don't need to add any movies.

To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1089
If you want something a bit more sophisticated:
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
