submitting a PDF form

I have a pdf form with form fields. I want to submit the values and post them to a database. I created a save button and the action is "Submit form". It calls an aspx file. When I try to write out the request variables I get none. For some reason none are getting posted. What am i doing wrong?
I have been trying to figure this out for quite some time and I am getting a bit frustrated, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Code would be useful. What does the command look like that's attempting to write to the db? Is the information supplied to gain access to the db correct? Are the table/field names correct? Is your syntax correct?
The reason that I didnt bother posting any code is because I am getting stuck before the point that I try to put the info into the db. I cant even retrieve the form variables
Request.form("name of filed from pdf form")
this value gives me nothing.
My question is if there is something that I am supposed to be doing in the PDF form that should make this work.
thanks.

Submitting form from the Server Control

Dear All,

How can I submit the whole form data when I click on the "ASP Server
Button". I want to use the Posted data in the redirect form.

Regards

PradeepHi,

What "whole form data means. Every form submits already sending all
the Input values to the server by default. If you want the entire HTML
add invisible Input box and put the body innerhtml in that input box
before submitting.

submitting in csharp

what's the equivalent of form.submit() "in javascript"
to c# ?
thanks!!!!

There is no equivalent. What are you wanting to do?

I have 3 tags <div id=... runat=server>
I want to view only one of them and hide the two others
I used the tag <select ... runat=server>
<option...>
...
I want to do this without javascript and without vbscript only c#!
I did not clearly understand your problem, but here is my best shot at it.
If you don't want to use javascript to submit a form, then use an asp 'Button' on the page to submit the form. You can drop an asp 'Button' from theToolbox>Web Forms to your page in design view. Then double click on this button to add code in code-behind for this button's click event. In this code you could set the 'Visible' property of the controls you want to hide. Make sure there is a runat='server' attribute for the controls you want to hide in the page's html code file i.e. in page's aspx file.
The asp 'Button', will by default, submit a form to web server for processing.
I hope this helps.

Submitting HTML page data through form.

Hi,

Iam trying to submit data using form.
I have taken Text area in the form.
I want to submit Html page data(data is something like <Html> <body> hello</body></html>)
through this form.

But it is giving error. How to handle this situation

Server Error in '/webs' Application.
------------------------

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (ta=" <html><head></head><...").Please read the following:
Request Validation - Preventing Script Attacks

It will show you how you can effectively "turn off" this error. However, youmust take notice of the warnings in red text. Do not just turn off the error, without validating the input yourself.
Hi,

.NET 1.1 has built in protection against script injections through textbox, textareas etc., However, if you are sure that your users won't do the hacking, you can remove this checking functionality by adding the ValidateRequest="false" to the @.Page directive of your aspx page.

If you want this for whole of your application, you can specify the same in the web.config

Hope it helps.
Hello
Thanks for help.

It is working fine.

But While printing the result it is printing like
<html><head></head><body>hello</body></html>
How to handle this situation.
Hi there,

You will have to decode the information before actually bind to a control.

for e.g

Text1.text = Server.htmldecode(dr("myHtml).tostring)

HTH
Thanks to all .
It is running fine.

Submitting the form correctly using the enter key

Hi all,

Simple problem:

I have a simple form and a submit and cancel image button underneath.

I also have a logout image button at the top of the page. This button is
rendered from a user control that is seperate from the form page itself.

At the moment if I press enter when inside a textbox the log out button is
activated. How can I make sure that the submit button is activated when the
user presses enter?

Many thanks all

Kind RegardsEnter activates the first submit button in the layout. See details at
http://www.allasp.net/enterkey.aspx

Can you place the logout button after the submit one?

You can capture the Enter key with JavaScript

Submitting seperate values from a checkbox list?

Hi there

does anyone have time to explain how to submit seperate values from my checkbox list?
I would be muchly appreciative.

so far I have the first boxes value returning, I realise it has to go in the if/foreach loop to make a value for each one but when I put my sql command in there it can't be recognized...

please help!!

-Matt

SqlCommand cmdInterest;
cmdInterest = new SqlCommand( "Insert tbl_interests ( interestID ) Values (@dotnet.itags.org.interestID) ", conform );
//check box item testing
foreach (ListItem itmInterest in chkl_interests.Items)
{
if (itmInterest.Selected){
//now I have no idea what to put here??
}
}
cmdInterest.Parameters.Add( "@dotnet.itags.org.interestID", chkl_interests.SelectedItem.Value );
conform.Open();
cmdInsert.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmdInterest.ExecuteNonQuery();
conform.Close();

You can store the variables's values in an array, and then submit it.

string[] names = new string[5];
int i = new int();

for each (ListItem itmInterest in chkl_interests.Items)

{

names[i] = chkl_interests.Items.tostring();
i++;
}

then in the pre-render event, just store the value before you submit it.

viewstate("names") = names;

to pass its value to the client do this:

response.write("<script language=""Javascript""> ")
response.write("var array[5]; ")
response.write("array = " + names + "; ")
response.write("</script>")

I dont know if this will help you, but i dont really know what do you want.

Submitting value from a hidden form field

I have a form inserting into an access database, 1 of the fields is hidden and required.
When I click submit the insert fails, if I change the visible value to "true" the insert succeeds.
I know this is probably really simple but I can't figure it out.If you set a controls visibility to false then it doesn't appear in the rendered HTML, therefore your hidden field won't be there at all (check the HTML source). In order to make a control still contain a value but be readonly try using the enabled property and set it to fale instead eg

<asp:TextBox id="myTextBox" enabled="false" runat="server"/>

That way the value is retained but it can't be changed.

Other option is to use a 'traditional' <input type="hidden"> field.
Thanks but the value has to be editable. The hidden field is actually receiving a date that is selected from a calendar on the page using this:

void Selection_Change(Object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
 countDate.Text = calendar.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();
 }

Where countDate is the hidden field.

If there is an easier way to do this please let me know.
As was explained,

you could use:

<input type="hidden"runat="server" ID="countDate"
Then just the code would be:

countDate.Value = calendar.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();

Thanks, that worked.

I now have another problem, when changing the date on the calendar it appears to be trying to submit the form, causing error messages as some other fields are also required.

Submitting Using Javascript

Hi everyone,

My question is related to making a form submit using javascript. Here is my
scenario. I have a form, which includes a user control. The user control
has a search button and a submit button. I have visably hidden th search
button by setting its appearance and added an HTML button which calls the
click event of my real server control button.

This works fine.

I now want to cause the click event of the search button to be called when
the user hits the enter key in the text search text box. I have done this by
using the OnKeyDown event of the body tag and check if the character is the
enter key. This does invoke the function and I can do an alert('hello
world'); to prove it is working.

However . . . . . . .

If I try and call the real search button click() from this event nothing
happens.

Does anyone have insight into what I am doing wrong or how I can resolve it.

Many ThanksThis is probably a bug but for some reason asp.net doesn't sent the form
post variables to the web server if one textbox is on the page. So, calling
the button click() would actually post the form; but asp.net would not run
any server side processing since it has no clue on what control caused the
postback. There is a way around this. You can drop an extra textbox on the
page and hide it with css. If 2 textboxes are on the page then all the form
post variables will be sent along with the page and calling the click() on
the button would actually run the server side code. To hide the textbox you
can do something like this:

<asp:TextBox runat="server" style="display:hidden;visibility:none;" />

I hope this works.

Having made this change, when the enter key is pressed the form is
submitted, but I dont want a default submission, I need it to be the
btnSearch

function OKD(){ if (window.event.keyCode == 13 )
{
MultiProjectPicker1_btnSearch.click();
event.returnValue=false;
event.cancel = true; }
}

there are several possible problems.

1) you specified invisible for the button. this will cause the button to not
render, so there is nothing for javascript to call.

2) you are not using validation, so the button is a standard submit button.
in this case there is not a onclick routine to call.

a simple solution for what you want is to use onchange on the textbx and set
autopostback. then asp.net will generate javascript to postback.

Just goes to show, the simple solution is easy once you know it. I never
thought to use AP on this, what a dummy I am.

suppressing Submit command with a Delete button

I have a Delete button in my datagrid. I'm attempting to add some code
confirming whether the user wishes to really delete the item or not.

The confirm pops up, but I cannot suppress the submission when selecting
Cancel.

Heres what I have so far:

' adding the javascript call to the button:
Private Sub dgItem_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles dgItem.ItemCreated

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item OrElse e.Item.ItemType =
ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then

Dim objDeleteButton As Button = CType(e.Item.Cells(1).Controls(0), Button)

objDeleteButton.CssClass = "inputbutton"

objDeleteButton.Attributes.Add("onClick", "confirmDeleteItem();")

End If

End Sub

' client side code in javascript

function confirmDeleteItem()

{

if (confirm("Are you sure you wish to delete this item?"))

{

return true;

}

else

{

return false;

}

}

any help is appreciated. thank you.Sounds like you have validation controls on there, which causes the runtime
to emit yet another onClick handler which submits the form. Try using an
<input type="button"> instead of an <asp:button> control, and if you need
validation just script in the validation call (and, as always, make sure you
explicitly validate on the server, as client side validation is easy to
foil).

Chris:

Thanks for the reply. I am struggling with this.

If I take your approach it seems I dont have the ability to wire it to the
DeleteCommand event. This means I have to access the DataKey for the row
through the client, which I dont want to do. I could be wrong on this
though.

All I really want to do is have a DeleteCommand button that performs a
delete with a confirmation prior to deletion. My code does not have any
other validators on the page. There is another button on the page, but
performs a completely unrelated task.

Aha - that's a special case I hadn't considered.

Thanks for the article and the help.
