HTML - Fieldsets, Xml, And Post Data
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create a generic Form model for taking user input and storing an XML file in a database. I can only use JSP, Java, and HTML functionality which is already installed on the server, so new mods or plug ins are out. To do this, I need to group fields with a common parent together, and fieldsets are a natural way to do this. Is it possible to discover, using JSP or another method, which fieldset encompassed a given form field? Take the following example: XML Structu Code: <server name="myserver01"> <elements> <serverAttr attr1="myAttrbiute"> <serverAttr attr2="myAttr2"> </elements> </server> <server name="myserver02"> <elements> <servertAttr attr1="another attribute"> </elements> </server> ... To gather the data, I have an HTML form where users may add any number of server attributes (including 0) to a given server which they also define. example/pseudo-code shown he HTML Code: <fieldset> <Legend accesskey="Server1">Define a Server</Legend> Server Logical name : <input type="text" size="30" name="serverName"> Attribute: <input type="text" size="30" name="attribute"> <!--Java Script Button to add an additional form field dynamically, with identical form name.--> </fieldset> <!--javascript button to add additional fieldset, with identical structure as above.--> Users can add or remove any number of servers or attributes using the javascript buttons, but the form field names will be the same. When the user presses submit, I will get some number of post variables identified by "attribute", but how can I map them back to a specific server definition? Is this possible? Thanks so much! Similar TutorialsSo I've got a form with some input text. In addition to the data in the input text I want to send some other data that has already been predetermined on initial page load. How would I declare the other data within the form element? Thanks Until I die, I will never quite understand tables - if someome could shed some light on this it would allow me to keep what little hair I have left. I have a Table with some form inputs in it as outlined below, the problem is this, there is what looks like a 15px space on the right side and I don't know why its there. Two questions: Size="18" - 18 what? I read that these are the size of a space, but if it is, what is the size of a space? Second, width="50" - 50 what? I am assuming pixels, but with all the problems I seem to have with tables, I'm not sure. <fieldset style="width: 260px"><LEGEND class="legend"> <table width="260"> <tr> <td width="240"><input type="text" size="18" etc.> <td width="20 align="right">There is a 10 x 10 graphic here</td> </tr> </table> </fieldset> Hope I made sense, any help or guidlines that could ease my life with tables would be appreciated. Thx Hi there! I've been googleing for this for a while now, but I couldn't find any solution. My problem is simple. I want my forms to be in a way that browsers 'know' that the data being typed into the form is to be sent with the Unicode UTF-8 encoding. So that every data POSTed back to my server is encoded using UTF-8. How can I do that? Thanks in advance, AvoC. Hello all! Can anyone shoot me over some quick code here. What i need to do is simply have one text box and one combobox. When the person fills in the info for the 2 and clicks submit, text appears under the button (like for a thank you) and the info gets sent to my email. can anyone shoot me over some code here, i need this really bad for a part on my site, but i dont know how to do it. thanks! Hey all, This is probably a stupid question, but it's driving me nuts - I have a simple form with 2x file uploads on it, and when the user clicks a button a PHP script is run. This scrip is picked up by checking the global $_POST variable for 'upload'. This works fine and my PHP script does the upload when I only select one file (using either one), but when both are filled in for some reason the global $_POST variable is empty, so my script will not run. Before looking down the PHP route I'm wondering if everything is ok with my form, or if there is some error that I am missing that is causing this problem? Any help is greatly appciated. Thanks. Code: <form action="" method="post" name="client-balances-selection" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <div id="current-balances"> <h3>Current client balances</h3> <input type="file" name="current_balances" class="file_upload" /> </div> <div id="past-balances"> <h3>Past client balances</h3> <input type="file" name="past_balances" class="file_upload" /> </div> <input type="submit" name="upload" class="button-primary" value=<?php _e('Compare'); ?> /> <input type="submit" name="delete" class="button-delete" value=<?php _e('Delete old files'); ?> /> </form> When parsing the POST data from an input form, how do you identify a uploaded file? My first guess is that the Content-Disposition header field will contain a filename parameter, but I don't want to just make that assumption. When I dissect some POST data, it looks like this... Code: -----------------------------7d721bbb0272 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data1" 1 -----------------------------7d721bbb0272 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myfile"; filename="X:\myfile.txt" Content-Type: text/plain mary had a little lamb with fleece as white as snow -----------------------------7d721bbb0272 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="start_date" -----------------------------7d7d37b0272 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="submit" Submit -----------------------------7d7d37b0272-- I highlighted the filename parameter. That's what I'm planning on keying in on. Is this right? Darren Hi, I am trying to construct a multipart form-data post request to a web server. However I keep getting malformed multipart post. My set up is Debian Etch/Mozilla 5.0x. I have constructed the multipart post request as follows Code: POST http://192.168.2.5/upload.cgi HTTP/1.1 Accept-Language: en-us Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------7d2b119100532 User-Agent: Mozilla/3.01 (compatible) Host: 192.168.2.5 Pragma: no-cache Content-Length: 717 -----------------------------7d2b119100532 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="field1" 5107115015_auto_end -----------------------------7d2b119100532 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="flat_file"; filename="travellerdata.dat" Content-Type: text/plain <SYSSN>5107115015</SYSSN> <HDD slot="0"> <serial>DA40P7C003P5</serial> <model>MAW3300NC</model> <firmware>0104</firmware> </HDD> <network> <adapter slot="1"> <interface slot="1"> <mac>00:E0:81:4B:8F:FD</mac> </interface> </adapter> </network> <BIOS> <revision></revision> <date>06/23/06</date> </BIOS> <CPU_count>4</CPU_count> <CPU slot="0"> <serial>00020F120000000000000000</serial> </CPU> -----------------------------7d2b119100532-- this is the server response that I get Code: Server Response is HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 05:13:55 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) PHP/5.2.0-8+etch10 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 f3 <h1>Software error:</h1> <pre>Malformed multipart POST </pre> <p> For help, please send mail to the webmaster (<a href="mailto:webmaster@localhost">webmaster@localhost</a>), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. </p> Appreciate if someone can point out where I am going wrong. Thanks, Hello all mates! I am working with my forum trying to properly edit the html for the posts so that they will display any custom script/html of my choice. I want this to appear in ONLY the first post in every thread. I am also trying to find out how to make a bot that automatically posts another second post in every thread, with my own custom scripts/html. At the moment I am trying to add some adsense ads this way. What I am looking for is two things: 1 - How to get the adsense ad aligned to either right or left of the text within the first post. 2 - How to get an adsense bot autopost an ad as post number 2 in any thread (including being applied to all threads already existing) I am using IPB3. I previously used Adsense Bot for IPB2, and that worked fine, but it is not supported for IPB3. It uses the Universal Mod Installer, and in IPB3 there is a new "hook" feature to ass custom mods etc, but I do not know how to alter the code for the Adsense Bot to work with IPB3 so I am trying to get it done from scratch by adding codes directly into the templates. If anyone know how to configure / modify the old Adsense Bot to work with IPB3 that would be great of course, so I am attaching it here just in case someone wants to take a look at it and its documentation and scripts. But primarily I am looking for the two mentioned features, one is how to get the script running in ONLY the first post of every thread - at the moment I got it running, but it is global and implements into all posts not only the first. I also have figured out how to make a script appear, such as an ad, between posts, but not after ONLY the first post, nor how to make a bot that posts a post just like any member, which is what I am really looking for when it comes to that part. This is the code I have entered into the topicViewTemplate in Topic View: Code: {parse template="aip" group="topic" params="$post"} <div style="display:block;float:right;margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-3737464431076938"; /* forum posts large recnt */ google_ad_slot = "6548059149"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> This works perfectly for adding my desired custom script embedded within the posts. The problem is that it gets embedded in ALL posts and not only the first as I would want. Here is a link to my forum for an example on how it looks: http://www.conspiraciesforums.com/fo...ic/3-atlantis/ I know I have to edit/add some code regarding post counts etc to configure it to only affect the first post - my question is how to do that? And as seen, the second post shows the ad as well, here I would want a bot to post a post containing another ad - between the first and third post of every thread (which will be standard members posts). I have messed my brain with this for more than a week now trying different things, looking around at forums, googling, trying scripts and so on, mods etc, but as of yet have not found the solution to these things for IPB3. Any help here would be extremely greatly appreciated and I'll buy you a beer if you're ever around my part of the world! :p Thanks and bless you! -M Hi Experts, I am designing a webpage where based on the year selection the associated years webtable needs to be displayed in the webpage.

My aim is that when i press the submit button of the form,collect the data and fill the table with it. I am working with J2EE. I have already collected the data in a Java class,but I dont know how to introduce this data into the table. Best Regards! OK I am reposting this cause I am having major issues...I would like to make it that for the purpose of ONLY A Halloween Page-that when the user of my website clicks ANYWHERE on my webpage it makes a scream noise...I have tried Google and keep finding where they must click a link or hover over a small box...I want it to be where they must CLICK anywhere... on my previous post-someone posted A Flash alternative-which after messing with for 2 hours-i could not figure out... Please tell me that when i use any unordered list in html page so it shows me bullets but I need that the content after list should be little bit away from bullet so that I used to make some distance between bullets & contents but when content is more than one line then it shows me all line content except first line content of that list. so please tell me that is there margin setting so that when I will set the margin then the content of every line of the list will look at certain distance. I'm trying to make a form that a person can fill out. When they click submit, it will send what they wrote to me in a e-mail. This is what I have: Code: <form action = "MAILTO:E-mail" method = "post" enctype = "text/plain"> alkdsjflasj alsdjflasdjf a;lkdfalsdj </form> <input type = "submit"> What I dont like that this does, is it opens the microsoft outlook express.

I'm new and a web designer,and i have a question.In my page,freewebs i don't know if my page acepts variables Get and Post,and i want to know how to set my page to acept the variables. Thank you. (Sorry but my english is crap.) Hi everyone, I'm having this really weird problem with a form I'm using. I am creating a banner module which allows users to upload banner code via an html form, one of the fields is for the code itself wich may be html based eg.<img src="ectectect" /> or javascript like <script language="javascript" src="ad.aspx?pid=17987&bid=4939"></script> The problem is this when i put any form of javascript into the textarea even just <script></script> tags and post the form the content in the input containing the javascript is always empty. This is my form tag: Code: <form action="" method="post" name="update"> Any ideas why this is happening? I'm working on a website for a organization I belong to. It's quite simple - a few html pages with posts handled by perl. I'm writing a registration script for them, and need to do the following: Currently when registration is confirmed, they write to their userdatabase and email out a confirmation. But payment is all handled via paypal. They've been relying on users to click a link at the bottom to go to paypal to conduct the transaction, but users can be not-so-smart sometimes. Many have thought that payment was taken care of, and they didn't need to worry about it, and hence, we've been getting a lot of non-payment. I'd like to, after the confirmation where databases are written, etc., just have something like a meta refresh at the top of the page that will redirect them to paypal. But, paypal accepts its info via a post. How does one do such a refresh with a post command in it? Or is there another way? I'm trying to add some buttons at the end of every post and this is the code I was given:
Code: <a expr:href='"http://www.yardbarker.com/author/new?pUrl=" + data:post.url + "&pHead=" + data:post.title' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.yardbarker.com/images/extern/bark_wide.gif' style='border: 0; padding: 0 0 0 15; vertical-align: bottom;'/></a> <a expr:href='"http://ballhype.com/post/url/?url=" + data:post.url + "&title=" + data:post.title'><img alt='BallHype: hype it up!' height='22' src='http://images.ballhype.com/img/hype/button_96x22.png' width='96'/></a> I tried to paste that in after the line: " <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'/>" but it keeps showing me an error. I'm using a blogger blog by the way. Thanks for any help you can give.
