LightBox Plugin that Supports Forms - plugins

I am developing a Spring MVC application and i am looking for a Lightbox plugin that supports forms, meaning i can call my form in it and it will be displayed just like a picture does. Has anyone ever done this before please advise.
I would also like to know if there is any specific call to the light box when using an MVC design pattern or will a simple call to the forms url will work.

Orbeon FormBuilder Embedding

How do i embed Orbeon form builder in a non java webapp, (Plain Javascript) as well as customising its look (CSS). I am currently embedding it using an iframe but it doesn't seem to be a very good option. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Embedding Form Builder with the JavaScript embedding API isn't supported yet. At this point, you can only embed Form Builder with the Java embedding API.
There is no fondamental reason why this couldn't possible from the JavaScript API; it is just a question of issues that still need to be ironed out (for more on this, see issue #4483). So, as I write this, if you can't use the Java embedding API, you're correct and the only way to do this is to use an iframe.

Auto form filling

I have a requirement like I need to fill an online form automatically. (Auto form filling).
Means I need to create an application in which clicking on the "Auto fill” button it will open the form in browser (form is another website page) and fill the data automatically.
The data (which may change each time) I will supply from my application. So first I thought of implementing the functionality using iMacro.
But later I realized I can’t call this imacro from an application if it is free version. So please suggest me some idea to achieve this functionality.
Thanks.
as far as i under stand your problem i would say try sikuli ..it just a simple you can say a compiler and a language which uses image recognition and you can make autobot through this and a very easy to learn ..

Best practices for designing GUI in GWT

I have recently started studying Google Web Toolkit. I have went through some walkthroughs, and I think I understand the basics and the idea. However, I have some questions on the overall architecture and design of the applications.
Let's start with the GUI. I want to build a "common" web application, where the user first sees a login page. After successful login, the user is redirected to some kind of index page and a menu is added. I created a new LoginComposite for the login page, and tried to design a nice looking HTML table using the GWT Designer. However, I find that really hard to do, as you cannot set any individual properties on the individual cells (TDs)? There's no way to specify colspan or rowspan, and I can't set any padding or margin on the cells themselves. In short, I know exactly how I would have written the HTML code, but I can't translate that to the designer. Is that just me?
Also, I am wondering about the best practice for code layout and design. I went through the StockWatcher tutorial, but that's really not a very realistic web application. For example, I would like to know how I should design different forms (should each be in a own class inheriting the Composite-class)? How should I switch between forms (for example, first a list view, then a form for editing a chosen item from the list, then a totally different page)? If I have one Composite for each page, and instantiate them when needed in my EntryPoint, would that mean that the client will download all the JavaScript for all those Composites at page load? Should I stick with only one HTML page, or should I have many?
These are questions not really covered by any GWT tutorial. If anyone know a good example of a "real" web application built using GWT, I would love to see it.
Thanks for your input!
There are a whole bunch of resources in Google IO talks. For example:

Also, don't expect to be able to edit absolutely everything if you are using the GUI to build your GWT app. Good luck!

Has anybody tried the new MVC HTML5 Toolkit from Codeplex?

I saw a tweet today referring to the MVCHTML5 helpers on Codeplex. I'm wondering if
Anybody has tried this out yet?
Does it add any real significant benefit over the default HTML helpers?
What are the actual HTML5 aspects of this library?
I would definitely recommend checking it (I am a little biased as I wrote it!).
But it's just a simple DLL that you include in your MVC project and it will give you all the benefits of HTML5 input types. If the browser doesn't support it - it will just fall back to a normal textbox.
To answer your questions though, it only adds a benefit if you are looking to add HTML5 functionality to your application or website. It uses the exact same syntax and the normal HTML helpers that ASP.net MVC comes with, but this just makes life easier if you are looking to add HTML5 functionality to your site.
Here is another link regarding HTML5 and the input types: http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/
I've just been trying it out, it doesn't seem to support the Required DataAnnotations for unobtrusive client side validation
