How would I display posts from an asp file in the DOM? - dom

I'm creating a website where users submit text field entries and they are publicly displayed. I have the Javascript to submit the entry and post to a file on our servers ready. But, how do you take posts using the javascript "get" method and display them in the DOM? To clarify I'm taking text and picture entries from an asp file and display 10 of them in the DOM (empty divs in the HTML).

Usually you save the submissions in a database, not files. Then query the same database to pull them back out. You can then fetch them in a page reload or use AJAX to load them into the current page.

tx_form multiple times on one page via RECORDS

via TypoScript i generate a HTML-Table and on every line i add the same formular (tx_form formular) via RECORDS. The form can be opened in a lightbox and all is fine but when i submit one of these, all forms will be submit and i receive 16 mails.
How can i separate the forms? RECORDS is needed because i build the table in TypoScript and so i can update the form in the backend and all forms on the page are updated.
Is there a parameter which i can set unique via TypoScript for every record so every form is technical a single form?
I would use some javascript to iterate over the forms and make them unique.
As this might conflict with the secutrity mechanism from TYPO3 you alternatively can use javascript to remove other than the currently clicked form from the page. This might need a reload from the page if you have no special answer page for the form.

Auto send form (JSP) and load page in iframe

I have a page (jsp) with a form and a submit button. After clicking the button the form data is posted to another JSP that creates the output (a table with links).
My problem is, I need to do this AUTOMATIC, I can fill the form via url GET thats not the problem but how can I force the post to that other page without clicking a button. I want to include the result (table with links) on another page (with php or just iframe) so the result has to be generated when the page is opened.
I CAN NOT change any of the JSP pages, they are part of a closed system which I can't change.
Thanks...

Jeditable displays entire HTML document as replacement for the editable field after trigger/submit

I am using jeditable and had it working very weird.
after editing the editable field and submits it instead of printing the new content it displays the entire document window in the textbox(placeholder of editable content).
question: from the example where the author used save.php. what was the content of save.php?
is it necessary to send the result on a php file?? can't an HTML file work?
I believe within the comments box at the bottom of the author's main page - somebody has kindly provided a version of the save.php file for people to use and modify as needed.
The save.php file is used to actually save the values of the editable field/s. Without it, nothing would happen to the data and it would reset to the default text if the page is refreshed.
Options instead of a php file could be:
Saving the text/select changes to a Cookie
Using another server side methos such as asp, jsp, rails or .NET to process the saving of the changes.
an html page is a static page with no processing facility per say to communicate with the website server, so no.. html is not suitable for such a need.
Saving script must return the string you want to display on page after editing. You are now returning full html page.

Create a fillable PDF that POST's it's data then returns a flattened PDF with the data in it the user can save

I have a pdf that currently people fill in, print out, hand to a receptionist who scans the paper form into a pdf, enters the form fields into a web form, attaches the scan to the web form and submits that. This is dumb.
What I want is a PDF form that once filled out the user can press a submit button. That submit button sends a post request to a web server with the form fields and the completed form. So far I can do half of that, submit the fields to a web site where they show up in POST, and the server's response gets returned to the user as a PDF, at least in Acrobat pro it does. Reader throws an error, but I am hoping that if the server returns a PDF reader will open it.
What I need is the submit button to send the fields to the server, along with a copy of the completed form. I can catch it with PHP and do everything I need from there. Preferably I would like both in the same transaction, but if not I can work around it.

facebook registration plugin : populating custom fields

I have an HTML form that uses the Facebook registration plugin. I have a couple of custom text fields (the kind that are included in the iFrame itself).
Whether user prefills the form using Facebook. or enters the data himself, I am able to store all values in my database without.
At the end of my post method, I redirect to load the same page. At this point, I would like to populate the fields from the data in my database. By which I mean, if the user logs off Facebook, on this page, he should still see the data that he has submitted to my database.
How do I set values for the fields (both custom and regular fields) in the registration form?
Should I say document.getElementById('field_name').value = "hello"?
Well it depends which technology you are using to generate the pages. That would be good to know. You most likely would have the JSP/ASP/PHP prepopulate those fields with from the data as it sends the HTML to the user.
