Help to make an Email Submit button in a form.

Im making a form using livecycle for the first time.

Im trying to put on a send email button - I used email submit field and make the button. Then in the objects Palette, in the box that says email address I put the email address that I want it to be sent to. I then tried to send the form and I received an email, but the attachment was just a bunch of codes, not the form. I want the email to get on with the PDF form.

I searched help and that's what I found:

I can not find where to change these options - can anyone help?
Thank you!

Hello

Options 1 and 2 are examples of the kind of functionality built-in for a quote by email. They work great, straight out of the box.

Ask the customer how they want to submit the data is built in and you can't get around this problem. It is then expected that for users without an e-mail client receive the choice and instructions on how to get the form back to you.

Option 3 does not display this message, because it is entirely scripted.

Regarding the registration of the file, if the data is returned in PDF format, the form HAS to record everything first, in order to capture the data before the form is attached to the email.

In summary, I would always go with option 1 if he captures most of what you want. It has the advantage that users with an online e-mail account will get instructions how to complete the application for leave.

Hope that helps,

Niall

  • Problems after clicking on the Submit button in a form

    Hello people I'm new to the Forum. I have an IMac with OS Snow Leopard 10.6.4. I just finished my first Web site using dreamweaver CS4 and there style with CSS. I have also built a simple form using the tools 'Spry validation form' with a name and e-mail along with a "submit" button text boxes. When I saw my site in Safari and Firefox, and fill in the details with my own name and email address then click on the button submit, my e-mail "New Message" window opens. What should appear?  shouldn't I have a message "form sent.

    If a user entered text fields with coordinates and then clicks the Submit button should not he see also message 'Send form', not his new e-mail window.

    As I have not downloaded the site and yet I thought I would fix the code. I'm not sure as to the time code is incomplete.

    My another brief question is, is it wise to get an overview of the sites in browsers other than Safari and Firefox

    I'd appreciate any help offered.

    This is what happens when you use mailto Action of forms. It is not completely reliable and should be avoided. To send the form, you need a form mail script on the server side. First check if your host can provide a suitable to your hosting plan. If this is not the case, check back for some suggestions.

    Also, be careful when posting in these forums. You have submitted 4 duplicate threads.

  • Disable a submit button in a form fillable

    I have created a fillable form that once it is completed, the user clicks the button on the submission form. With a couple of javascript codes, I found online, I was able to set up in the control panel user actions to have the form saved as another file named, have all filled on static text, and the shape placed in an email as an attachment. The only problem is that the code I found does not disable the submission form. Thus, it is not a completely static form.

    Is there a JavaScript there that would disable the button on the form submit?

    Help, please.

  • 2 or more forms with "1 submit" button (Business Catalyst Forms)

    I am very new to Ajax and Java

    So I'll need a bit of hand holding on it.

    If it's too much to explain in a post on the forum, I'd be willing to pay someone to set up properly and to explain so that I can repeat on my own $50.

    But here's what I'm trying to do.

    Presentation of multiple forms with single submit button.

    I need to create many many forms, so rather than repeat the basics (details and company info)

    I would just be able to manufacture PARTS of form and then build forms much faster this way.

    The forms I created are for various applications.

    I use the personal and professional contacts as the first 2 examples, but I'm going ELSEWHERE, I also understand according to the form.

    So just keep in mind these are examples.

    The point is that each PARTY is a separate form.

    The reason clear to achieve is to save time, many similar applications that I need to do the construction.

    Example 1

    Form of home insurance

    SECTION A - personal information

    PART H - home (s) address

    PART F - personal fire and alarm information

    PART C - the previous insurance issues and cancellation insurance

    ----------------

    submit button: supports all 4 forms above

    Example 2

    The company insurance form

    SECTION A - personal information

    PART B – business contact information

    PART D - commercial address information (what to do if several addresses?)

    PART E - business and information fire alarm

    PART C - the previous insurance issues and cancellation insurance

    --------------------

    submit button: submit all 5 forms above

    So ideally, I would need the following requirements.

    1. present the single button

    2. present the code can handle 2 or more parts not the value # specific

    3. I would prefer if it was automated code (so I don't have to change the code every time, I can simply add the parts - and also long ID # or named it will work correctly)

    4. If there is a problem with any PART stop the entire form

    5-

    A question, I had barely know is how "combine" forms a single entity so that they can change it later if necessary?

    * as turn a case, or to award to each PARTY a hidden form variable link #.

    * This is probably best handled with a webapp, Yes?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It's all a bit above my level of understanding of right at this moment. So, if anyone can offer help or services.

    Please let me know. I have to get rolling on this ASAP.

    * main problems I have with BC forms:

    I did a lot of work with them recently, so I get a kick of the foibles, but there is always a ton of issues and roadblocks that I meet that requires a workaround solution.

    I wish I knew how to make dynamic British Colombia forms, because the BC is not a data source for multiple selection option, we must create a webapp connection to combine everything.

    Unless there is another way to combine multiple forms, I guess that's what about this discussion/issue together.

    So thank you once again.

    Are you ok with BC being unable to report on the data of the form? Rather than having the fields map to a client-server, you could serialize the form data (in JSON format, perhaps) and submit the entire form in a single field in a form BC, or an element of the Webapp.

    This would allow the form fields to be as dynamic as you can imagine. you will be not restricted to use only the form fields that have been declared in the admin.

    You have to take care around the diagram, because BC does not have an influence or support for that. It also means that when you want to display the data, you will need to go through your own deserializer. In addition, there are length limits to keep in mind.

  • An another Email Submit Button application assistance

    I have read the many buttons send e-mail and try many posted suggestions, including excellent sample files srechaussaient several methods to accomplish and not had total success with any method quite yet, I'm sure due to my lack of knowledge in this area, not because good examples and instructions.  The sample I found here, http://forums.adobe.com/message/2522202#2522202, is the closest to what I need with 2 exceptions.

    1. need to form in PDF, not XML.

    2 need to object to include a company name field

    Otherwise, it seems to do everything I need.  If I do a required field in the sample, it won't let me submit until I have completed the necessary.  She holds the topic, e-mail text, etc. during the conversion to adobe reader extended form, and if it can be modified to send in PDF format and include the company name for the field form on the subject it would be so fantastic.

    The JavaScript code in the sample is below.  I would be very happy for any help in this last hurdle in my form, thank you.

    
    form1.page1.emailButton::click - (JavaScript, client)
    
    // First give a messageBox with instructions

    :"mailto: "+ vEmail +"?subject=" + vSubject +"&body=" + vBody,cSubmitAs:"XML",cCharset:"utf-8"});
    

    Simply change the parameter of cSubmitAs in PDF instead of XML

    To get the name of the company on the subject you can do when you set the variable. Assuming that the name of the company is in a field called companyName:

    vSubject =

    "A9100 - Sample Script in the button send and added the company name:"+ CompanyName.rawValue ".

    The part in quotation marks will come off as you typed them and the value of the companyName field will be added at the end of the string.

  • help required with the "submit" button

    Hello

    I need a little help with the button submit. The user submits the form as a PDf to a servelt using the "submit" button. The form is validated at the side server. If errors occur the error messages are to be displayed to the user as part of the form.

    My approach was to have a present in the form of hidden field. After you receive the error messages the field must be filled with these messages and real visible.

    Problem with my approach:

    (1) how to send back data on the ground using the code of the servlet that we have?

    Unless you use a Web service, sending data top of the Servlet form can is not possible.

    Once the form sends data to the Servlet, the connection will be lost between the form and the Servlet.

    But if you use a Web service, you can intercept the response and display it to the user.

    Another alternative to the approach of the Servlet is, view another page in the browser with the response.

    If the user then sends is notified the result in a new window.

    Thank you

  • A date today can be added in a date field when you press the submit button?

    There is a preSubmit event to form objects that you can use.

  • working with 2 submit buttons in an html form

    < cfelseif isdefined ("form.submitaction") AND form.submitaction eq 'process' >

    < cfdump var = "#variables.filepath #" >

    The elseif excludes discharge. In any case, it is unnecessary. You should not test for form.submitaction and form.action, as they both exist or not.

    You could just do something like

    variables. FilePath: #variables.filepath #

  • PHP if then the syntax, a conditional link in the form submit button

    I have a site with a code that checks the value of a field in a database table and controls what page a user goes to when they hit the submit button in a form.

    It is part of a shopping cart, where a few extra options are available along the way.

    I have added a new option for a different size of cushions, but cannot get the syntax right or wrong somewhere.

    I have this code in my head:

    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc ($result);

    If (! @empty($_POST)) {}

    $_SESSION ['cart'] ['items'] [$_POST ['id']] ['paint'] = $_POST ['color'];

    If (@empty ($row ["cushions"])) {}

    $url = ' accessories.php? id = '. $_REQUEST ['id'] ;}

    ElseIf (@empty ($row ["cushions2"])) {}

    $url = ' accessories2.php? id = '. $_REQUEST ['id'];

    } else if (! @empty ($row ["glasstop"])) {}

    $url = ' glasstop.php? id = '. $_REQUEST ['id'];

    } else {}

    $url = "shopping_cart.php;

    }

    And this code in my form button:

    < a href = "<?" PHP echo (! @empty ($row ["cushions"]))? "shopping_cart.php": ' accessories.php? id = '. $_REQUEST ['id']? ">" style = "float: left;" color: #251717; background-color: #DBC87B "> NO THANKS, go AHEAD WITH the ORDER < /a >"

    How can change that it will go to the page accessories.php or the accessories2.php?

    Just to say that I'm this work. In the end, I thought I could use three links .every wrapped in a piece of conditional code like this:

    NO THANKS, PROCEED WITH THE ORDER

    "style =" float: left; color: #251717; background-color: #DBC87B "> NO THANKS, go ahead WITH the ORDER"

    "style =" float: left; color: #251717; background-color: #DBC87B "> NO THANKS, go ahead WITH the ORDER"

    It's not as elegant as a single link, but it seems to work.

  • How can I make the submit button that is activated after the user enters a digital signature?

    I have a form that contains a digital signature field. Once the user enters their digital signature, my "submit" button is disabled. I wanted that this remains activated for the user can submit the form with their digital signature and the form (in PDF format) as an attachment.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    Kind regards

    Fanny

    You can configure the fields of lock after the signing of the digital signature. In Livecycle Designer across this field properties: object-> TAB Signature properties. Here can exclude the button submit or any other field, if necessary, do not lock after signing.

  • How to make a submit button that ignores validation?

    In a dynamic form with custom validation, I need to have two different submit buttons. To submit form data as it is and and other to validate the data first then submit.

    How can I create a submit button that ignores validation?

    THX

    The allChileElements will give you everything under this node (fields, subforms, draws, etc...) Some of these objects do not have a property to validate. This is why there is an another qualification where we are striking objects with a specific class on the subform or field name. If it's a subform, then we need to dig deeper into this structure, if it is a field, then we can set the validation.

    Make sense?

  • Muse Submit button (contact form) are not sent bus catalyst

    I worked through the tutorial intro to Muse (where you set up the site of the Katie bakery) and published, Muse, as a temporary site to Business Catalyst. But in this area, the Send button does not work.

    Background:

    The page of the form (contact us) tutorial includes a form with a "submit" button. The tutorial shows how the Send button is configured with several States to indicate that the shape is click after: presenting, submit successfully or submit does not succeed. The tutorial also shows how to enter an email address to send to. In addition, the tutorial explicitly pointed out that you can publish the site to Business Catalyst to test the submit button and make sure that it sends to the correct email address before make you the site live.

    I have configured the Send button to send to my e-mail (a real one). I also published the Business Catalyst site just as shown in the tutorial.

    However, when I click the button Submit (excerpt from businesscatalyst.com site), it does nothing. It does not change its State (other than to change color when you go over it) to show that he does anything once you click on it. And I don't get any email from the form.

    I have reviewed the information in Troubleshooting Muse form Widgets used on the servers of third parties, but none of these tips have helped. And besides, businesscatalyst.com isn't a 3 rd party server. It goes without saying that the Send button should work from Adobe's own site.

    Why the submit button won't work, even after following the steps in the tutorial explicitly step by step? If I can't work on the temporary business catalyst of the site, how am I supposed to feel confident that it will work if I try to live somewhere else?

    Update: I just tested it again, by adding a new form Widget to another page of the tutorial site. I just copied the default form (name, Email, Message fields) and placed value on the Menu. Then I republished on the site and re-tested the submit button. And now, the new Send button in the page Menu works and also the submit button on the Contact page (from this tutorial).

    I don't know if the assets of the tutorial were corrupt so that the original send button wouldn't work, or is it add a second button send the first button to "wake" another page Submit or if Adobe changed something on their servers during the night to allow to the Submit-button. I know, it's that one change, he works now as I expected to work.

    (For the record, yesterday I deleted and republished the site several times, just to make sure that this was not something that occurred at the time of publication. So who is excluded as a cause).
