Web form resize

How can I size a webform correctly? I set it up on the page and all looks ok, but when I load it on to the BC site, and it's activated, it nearly doubles in size and messes up the layout of the page.

I've got an answer but on other forum. Here is link if someone finds answer to this question useful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3299385/resizing-flex-spark-control-with-a-custom-skin

WEB Forms do not display properly with windows 95 LARGE fonts desktop setting

Hi,
We are using WEB forms 6.0 patch level 6 (We tried 6i but had too many bugs with it, we prefer to wait until at least a couple of patches are out, installation was a VERY painful experience for us)
We still have the following problem with WEB FORMS deployed on win95 desktops with LARGE FONTS destktop settings: The forms are not displayed correctly, sometimes there are no scroll bars, resizing a window gives weird results, part of the forms become inaccesible, some forms are blank, etc...
Can you verify or confirm that you have the same kind of problems ? We use jinitiator 1.1.18.
Is it fixed with 6i ? Is it fixed wit jinit 1.1.27 ?
We develop in smal fonts on win95 and recompile under solaris before deploying.
Thanks

Thank you all for your fast asnwers. The "Use hardware acceleration when available" was the problem, I disabled it and I will post a message on my site about this.
The site is on-line in the same aspect since 2005, modifiyng the whole site to fit with Firefox11's default setting is not a good option. At that moment, placing a tabel (alligned to the center of the page) and puting in it the thumbnails with links generated by ExpressThumbnailCreator, than manually adding the description in the HTML view of FrontPage was the simplyest way possible to make the site appear properly on my 800*600 px resolution I used then. Of course, I upgraded my hardware and software since then, but the site remained mostly unchanged (except the index and a few files). I know it's time for a new version of the site but... my web-design knowledges are limited to basic HTML.

Maximizing web forms dynamically

Forms 9.0.4(10g), RDBMS 9.2
I am currently using the following code in a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE form level trigger to maximize the web form window. Note that the window name is hardcoded.
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('win_main',WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE);
In an effort to standardize this approach and reuse this code for other forms, I removed this code from the above trigger and created a WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED form level trigger. I made the following substitution (hoping to dynamically capture the value of whatever window happen to be "active").
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(:SYSTEM.EVENT_WINDOW,WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE);
This approach seems to work, however, not knowing much about these triggers and my relative inexperience in Forms, I ask the following questions:
(1)Will this approach keep the active window "maximized", as the user switches from window to window in web forms? (2)Is this a 'best practices" approach? (3)How are others handling this issue?
Any other approaches, problems with my current approach or comments are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

First read this thread:<br>
MDI Window State in web forms
<p>Maximizing the Form's active window is ok -- just don't maximize the Forms_MDI_window. You don't want your form to take up all the space on a user's screen if it does not need to.
<p>I maximize the primary window in the Pre-Form trigger, then use a When-window-resized trigger to keep it that way. Our forms always have a single window named WINDOW0, so this works:<br>
PROCEDURE PLL_WHEN_WINDOW_RESIZED IS
-- Re-maximize the form's window. If user clicks "Window, Tile" or
-- "Window, Cascade", it causes the form's Window0 to shrink. So
-- calling this from the form's When-Window-Resized trigger maintains
-- the desired display.
W0 Window := Find_Window('WINDOW0');
BEGIN
If Get_Window_Property(W0,Window_State)<>'MAXIMIZE' then
Set_Window_Property(W0,Window_State,Maximize);
End if;
END;<p>The above code was written for client/server Forms. Upon testing, I see that window state ALWAYS reports 'NORMAL', even when it is maximized. ...as stated in the other topic. But setting the state to maximize does keep the inner window maximized, anyway.

Adobe BC Web Form Customization - Basic HTML

Hi all,
I've got a form that I created in BC, and obviously it looks like doo doo because that what standard forms look like in BC. I had created a form directly in Muse manually, but I needed the clickable boxes that BC offered, so I'm signed up.
Obviously, I know very little if not zero code, hence why I'm using Muse, so I have no idea where to start with customization in terms of the form (i.e. font colors, padding, etc).
I was wondering if anyone has gone through this before and maybe has a few tutorials they would like to share. Let me know your thoughts, thanks in advance.
What my form used to look like:

I've finally found a workaround for this! It may not be the most elegant solution and I don't know if it will help you, but it accomplished what I needed and it didn't break the form. Here's what it looks like now:
The text is now the font I want, and bigger, I was able to add the borders where I wanted them, plus do some other things.
Someone with knowledge of CSS & HTML showed me where to add the coding needed to change the look of the form. And with the help of this site: CSS Reference, I was able to take it from there (with a bit of trial and error). Here's what I did.
Once I had all the elements in the form that I needed, the first thing I had to do was insert the form on the site differently than I did before. Before, I had used 1-click insert, and tried to customize the HTML in Business Catalyst. That did not work for me, because the form would not accept any style changes. It seemed like it did, but after publishing it looked just as it did before.
Instead, I used the "Get Web Form HTML Code" under "More Actions" and copied the code. Then logged out of BC, and opened a text editor to paste the code into and add my modifications.
Now, to accomplish the style changes -- and here is where the trial and error comes in -- I had to add a <style> tag (forgive me if I am using the wrong terminology, I don't know what anything is called or what I am doing really... but the bottom line is I got it to work) at the very end of the form, between </script> and </form>. I was told it's important that it goes after the script. That's where I was able to add some CSS that accomplished what I needed.
With the help of Google Chrome and View>Developer>Developer Tools, I was able to find out what the various class names were that I needed to alter. If you don't know how the developer tools work, try to find someone who can show you or post back and I will try my best to explain. I will paste my code below so you can see what I did, but yours will of course vary because your form has different elements and you need a different look. I'm adding in bold what each class affected in case that saves you some searching.
<style>
(This first class is just the asterisks for the required fields, for some reason they are separate from the actual words)
.req{
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 14px;
(This class is the words that go with the asterisks, i.e. Name, State, etc.)
.webform label{
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 14px;
(This class is the various items that make up the Checkbox List)
.webform{
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 14px;
(Setting this class to 0px padding removed extra spacing between the fields)
.td{
padding: 0px;
(This class was for a multi-line custom field I added)
.cat_listbox{
border: 2px solid #f06823;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: white;
width: 350px;
padding: 6px;
(This class was for all the other text entry fields, the ones I needed the orange border on, Name, State, etc.)
.cat_textbox{
border: 2px solid #f06823;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: white;
width: 350px;
height: 26px;
padding: 0px 6px 0px 6px;
(This class was for the Submit button)
.cat_button{
border: 2px solid #f06823;
border-radius: 10px;
width: 177px;
height: 30px;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12pt;
color: white;
background-color: #f06823;
</style>
Back in Muse, I inserted the new code on the page by choosing Object>Insert HTML. After pasting it would sit there with a spinning wheel for a bit and eventually come up with an exclamation point and "Unable to generate thumbnail." (Ignore that.) I then moved the box where it needed to go and resized it to touch the footer, so the page would stretch to accommodate the full form. After that I published the page and everything looked fine. You can use preview but in my experience it didn't show things the same as the published site.
I recommend that you create a test site (or at the very least a test page within your real site) where you can play with this to see how it works. Maybe use my code above and paste it in the right place to see how it changes things... and then customize for your own use. I did test the form after publishing and it does still work just fine. The only thing that broke a part of it for me was trying to change the background color for the date picker. It's a light gray (#F0F0F0) and I wanted it white. You can see it right there in the form's own HTML, but changing it to white made it stop working. The field was still there but the date picker would no longer pop up when clicking on the field.
ANYWAY! I know this is very long but I hope it helps you, or someone else if you've moved on.
Good luck! And if anyone with any CSS knowledge reads this and sees any problems with my solution, please do chime in...

Is it possible to see who has saved progress on a web form, but not submitted?

We are using FormsCentral for our application process, and we are allowing applicants to save forms. Is it possible to see who has started a web form, and saved it, but hasn't submitted yet? Maybe by cc'ing the email notificiation they get to an admin?
We'd like to see who is working on the applications, and also to send them a reminder that they need to complete and submit the form by the deadline.

Hi;
No, there isn't a way for you to see anything about who has saved progress.
Thanks,
Josh

How do I use the vector web forms??

I'm new to using vector graphics and need to know how to go about using these web forms using Illistrator to make it functional on a web site. I tried opening it with the Illustrator, Fireworks, but not sure how to get the white fields to actually work like a text field. Hotpot will only link to another page which I don't want. I want the user to be able to enter their email address or whatever info is required then be able to submit. Please help!

That graphic is for making a wireframe/design. It cannot offer any real form functionality.
To create a form with that appearance, you will need to wrestle with HTML, CSS, and your choice of scripting languages to process the input.

How do I create a dependant drop down in a web form?

I am trying to add a web form to a web page that includes a dependant drop down menu. For example, I'd like there to be a drop down menu called "Interested Class" with three fields: "Tribe Fit", "Tribe Life" and "Tribe Core". When a user selects one of these fields ("Tribe Fit" for example), I want a new drop down menu to appear with the following choices: "7:00am", "12:30pm", "7:00pm".
I have attempted this here and as you can see it's not working at the moment. The time drop down fields should be hidden until an "Interested Class" has been selected.

I've placed my JS code in the HTML view of the actual web page as I noticed when I place it in the actual custom form it doesn't carry through to the page. I don't know if I'm placing my JS in the correct place though.

<tr>
                        <td><label for="CAT_Custom_328771">Interested Class</label><br />

Can anyone please help explain to me how I can make this work? I am only a JS beginner - so please try to explain in simple terms if possible.
Thank you!

This wont work, Needs to be a lot more then this and CSS to hide things rather then script hiding them.
Nicole, The times that are availible I gather differ depending on the type of the dropdown?
You do not need multiple time dropdowns.
Steps you need to do first on the form:
1. Ensure the custom form field dropdown for interested class exists.
2. Have custom dropdown with all the times that any of them can be. This is CSS hidden by default.
3. Also CSS hide all the options in the select as well in your CSS.
Next can you show what classes have what times as an example then can put the code more relevent to your example you can work off.
The code will follow along the lines of....
Dropdown On Change
          If selected options is xxx class then
          fade in option times dropdown
          Show these otpion times
        if selected option is zzz class then
          fade in option times dropdown
               show these times
More control as you need to work properly, only two dropdowns needed.

How do I access my Web Form Keychain password?

Hello!
I lost the original email containing my password from a web site months ago and need to access the password in the Keychain WEB FORM file.
I dont' need to CHANGE it, I need to see the old one so I can log into the web site again since they changed the site, and the login page is now different with a new URL etc....so the autofill doesn't work.
I'm in Keychain access and I see the event but how do I edit the form so I can see my password?
It's my computer, this shouldn't be so hard to do.
thanks
A

Hey Kappy
thanks.
I jsut found out how to do it.
When I double clicked on the Keychain item, there was a checkbox I didn't see before " show password" I clicked it then entered my system password then it showed it.
thanks!

I have imported a PDF form (created in adobe acrobat XI pro) into FormsCentral. I now want to convert this document into a web form so I can embed it into my website. HOW DO I DO THIS?

I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck. All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button. It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral. What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website. Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting. I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral. This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.

I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables. The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows. Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

Web Form - takes extra time to render scroll-bar

Hi,
11.1.2.0.83
When we open a webform that is relatively small in scale it takes ~ 4-6 seconds to come back from the 'hourglass' but then leaves the user waiting for upto a minute before the scrollbar appears at the side of the rendered web form (which appears after the initial period) and you can actually take any action.
Smartview does not have this same delay on the same form, and when I monitor server / client activity on both sides it seems to be minimal impact on cpu / memory.
We are on IE7, though some clients are IE8.
Has anyone else seen this - is it a known issue - are there any fixes?
thanks,
Robert.

Hi,
I think both Planning and Essbase are done sending the required data/metadata to client and from that point on it's up to the client to generate the form. Like you are suggesting, although you see the form with cells and numbers, it takes time to generate the scroll bars (i.e. complete the form generation). My hunch is that this could be related to a security setting or an antivirus setting that could be slowing down the java script. Essentially, it's a hefty java script that generates the form and in some cases (such as with McAfee) there are certain settings to enable scanning java scripts on web pages before running them. You can make sure by tracking the process in task manager on the client when opening the form. If this is the case, disabling this option might improve the performance.

Time to open Web forms too long for the first connexion !!

Hi
When we first open a web form in the day, the time to open it, is greater than 10 minuts ( the CPU time used to retrieve the webform is measured at about 20 seconds)
When we do open the webform a second time it takes about 20 seconds to open it!!
Have someone meet this case?
What do we have to change in order to enhance the openning duration of the webforms?
Thanks
environment:
Serveur IBM, OS Windows 2003 server
Hyperion planning 11.1.1

Does it take 10 minutes to open on the server, if it takes 10 minutes on the server and only 20 seconds of that is CPU processing then are you saying for over 9 minutes it is rendering the form in your browser, you can check the browser process on the machine.
If you do want to check or increase the maximum heap size then have a read of :- Re: Heap sizes with Planning11.1.1.3 & Weblogic help
I would also check how much memory the JVM is using when opening the form, you can check using task manager on the server or better still use something like process explorer.
