HTML - Form Data From Url

Ok, this sounds extremely easy but I'm more of a designer and less of a coder. I'll try and explain what I want to accomplish. I spent the better part of the afternoon yesterday searching for a solution. Alas, I need some assistance!

We have a page where users can view a report in a PDF format from a drop down.

Also on that page we need to have a place where they can select an option from a drop down and email the PDF to them. Now, we have the link set up. I can take a sample link, add my email address to the end of it, hit enter and it shoots me an email.

The question is how can I take what the user inputs into a form and pass it into a URL. All that needs to happen is to send the user to that URL and have the URL be correct. At that point the email gets sent automatically.

My best attempt so far gets me to the URL but things like &, =, etc are replaced by %3D and %26. The URL won't work that way.

I'll post that code:

Code:

<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="https://fusion.bennettware.com:4443/drivers/getfueltaxreport?">
  <select name="unitfuel">
    <option selected>Select Month</option>
    <option value="year=09&month=01&reportName=UnitTax">January 2009  </option>
    <option value="year=09&month=02&reportName=UnitTax">February 2009</option>
  </select>
  Type in your email address:
  <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="&email=">
  <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send email">
</FORM>

Here is what I get in the URL: (sorry had to place it in html tags because the link was only half showing up.)

HTML Code:

https://fusion.bennettware.com:4443/drivers/getfueltaxreport?unitfuel=year%3D09%26month%3D01%26reportName%3DUnitTax&%26email%3D=test@testmail.com

Also, notice that "unitfuel" gets appended to the URL as well. It gets passed into the URL and that will likely cause the report to fail.

The URL needs to look like this:

HTML Code:

https://fusion.bennettware.com:4443/drivers/getfueltaxreport?year=09&month=01&reportName=UnitTax&email=myemail@mydomain.com

If a user were logged in and ran that link, a page would appear stating that an email had been sent.

So, all I need it for the input to get placed into the URL without all of the additional characters. The report cannot run when the URL looks like the above and thus cannot get emailed.

Also, that link probably won't work since the site is password protected, so you'll likely get a 'page cannot be displayed' error if you try to access it. Solution is likely simple, then again, my luck would have it not being so simple! I thank you all in advance for your help. At least a point in the right direction would be nice.

Hi there, quite a lame question i think..

Anyone have on idea on a script, (which i believe should be quite simple) which can extract the line from an csv file and show ot in a html page at search request.

In more details it should look like this :

somebody enters some word in simple html search form and pushes search button, the script searches through the csv file and copies whole line with matchin word in the web page.

Or maybe there is a simplier way, since csv file can be converter to any other format...

Thanks in advance.

Greetings

I'm organizing a competition, or quest, between my forum members. Each competitor has to finish 37 tasks.
So I built this table to use as a progress tracker. It lists the names of the participants at the left side, and a horizontal bar at top with 37 cells showing task number. Each time a user finishes a task, he PMs me and I then go edit his/her table row to change the color of the cell under that task, and type the date he finished it in. But this is too much work for me, as I have to edit the table many times each day..
so I was thinking, can someone help me do the following?

It would be great if I have a form that users can fill in, and then that form submits its data into the corresponding cells in the progress tracker table, so that the table automatically reflects the new data. The user has to type a code that I assign for him, for the form to know which row to handle, and also to prevent others from playing tricks with his data.

It would be even greater if another form can be made that automates the participation process, by adding a new row when a new user who wants to join the competition, submits the form. Then the form emails the user the code he would later need to submit data to his row.



Many thanks for any help, code or examples given.

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>

I cannot get my form to write to my asp file for the life of me.

My website is rollingdice.byethost32.com you'll notice a login form with two simple txt fields. I have the action set to the name of the asp file ("logins.asp").

The asp file looks like this


Code:

<html>
<body>
<%
'declarations
Dim username, password
'initiate declarations
username=Request.Form("username")
password=Request.Form("password")
'print input
Response.Write("Username: " & Request.Form("username") & "<br />")
Response.Write("Password: " & Request.Form("password") & "<br />")
%>
</body>
</html>

If someone could please tell me what i'm doing wrong it would be much appreciated

Many thanks in advance...

Hi
This is my first post so trust I don't breach any protocols.

I'm creating a form that will send data from the form to an email. I have done this many times before with no problem but suddenly it is failing to do so.
The main form has approx24 data fields so in case this was a problem, created a simple form with 2 text fields and a submit button but this wouldn't work either.

My default Editor is dreamweaver MX and outlook as my email. Not being sure if it is my code, editor or email system causing the problem I have tried all variations using Dreamweaver MX, Dreamweaver CS3, Frontpage and in desperation Pagebreeze with Outlook, Outlook Express and Mozilla Thunderbird.

I'm pulling my hair out.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>

<form action="mailto:My Email address" method="post"  name="form1">

    <input type="text" name="textfield2">
</p>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
  </p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Has anyone had the same problem and solved it ?

Hey, I was wondering if there's any way (without Javascript, I wouldn't mind PHP though) to draw a value (say a persons name) from one HTML page, to a new window with, say, a comment box, and the person they are commenting about is already typed out for them, or stored hidden somewhere. Each different page would link to the same comment box, but the name value would be different depending on WHO they want to comment on.

Hi,

Not sure how to explain it properly but i've got a php script which outputs a list of items in a div within my page. I want to be able to have that list form two collums. As if it were in two table TDs.

Hope I've explained well enough..

Thank you.

Hi,

I am a complete HTML novice and as such may lack certain use of terminology that you might take for granted so please allow for that.

I have been linking to certain .jsp web pages , and pre-entering the data into the page by putting a "?" after the .jsp part and following it with some code. For example: -

Take the page http://logis.korail.go.kr/driveinfo/TrainLocSearchg.jsp. By using the URL http://logis.korail.go.kr/driveinfo/...jsp?carNo=7001 I don't need to type the number 7001 in the form and press the submit button.

This works fine on this page, however, for the following page, http://logis.korail.go.kr/driveinfo/...riveGuideg.jsp, I can't seem to get this method to work.

I think the names of the fields in the form are as follows: -

stYukCd
wbMd1
wbMd2
trnKind
trnNo
trnUpDn

I can't however get any of these fields to auto-fill by using this method. Any ideas?

Thanks

Damian

Hello guys,

Not sure if this is the right board to post this one, but I need some help.
I'm trying to carry over a field of numbers from one form to another. However, with the code, only some of the numbers show up. It's easier if i post the code here.

Code:

post.htm


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>post</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

function checkSelect() {
var df=document.forms[0][0];
if(df.options[df.selectedIndex].value=='') {
alert('Please enter a valid phone number');
return false;
}
}

//]]>
</script>

</head>
<body>

<form action="post1.htm" name="Phone" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="get" onsubmit="return checkSelect()">


<Input type=text value="Phone" name="" size="20">

<input type="submit" target="blank" value="Submit"/>
</form>

</body>
</html>

and the page that the numbers should carry over to:
Code:

post1.htm

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>post1</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function addInfo() {

document.forms[0][0].value=parent.location.search.substr(6);

}
onload=addInfo;
//-->
</script>

</head>
<body>

<form action="#">
<input type="text"/>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers!

I need to create a form with a submit button. When pressed, the form will retrieve data (a list of options) from a remote url then display those options in a Select element.

Can anyone provide me with any sample code or point me in the right direction for how I should go about achieving this?

Thanks,
James

Hi, I have a form designed to take details of a customer; I want to have the details of a form display in it's own textbox so i can use some javascript to 'Ctrl+A' and 'Ctrl+C' it. This code I have already, but getting the info from the 'form' into the text box is the issue.

Another thing I should mention, this will be stored locally on a machine, there's no web servers. It's purely a web-based app for someone to put into while they're taking a call for a problem.


any idea's, here's the code on my page thus far:

I won't bother to link my CSS it's very basic. my main.html (<FORM name="MNTA" action="data.html" method="post">) page exists but doesn't have any code. I don't mind if I have to have the data populated on another page that's fine. I also don't mind using JS and the site will only be viewed in IE 6.


Thanks in advance, I can't find anything and beleive me I've spent hours trying.

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum and I have a question. I need to create an input form that asks users for a zip code. Once they type in their zip code and hit submit I need to take their zip code and put it in the URL. EX. if 12345 was typed, after they hit submit it would take them to "www.example.com/12345" Does this make sense?
