form get method not working in opera browser - forms

Why forms submited using get method is not working in opera browser?
<form method="get" action="">
I am submiting to same page
<form method="get" action="">
<table class="search_form_table" width="428" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" >
<tr>
<td width="150">Order Number</td>
<td><input name="order_number" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Start Date</td>
<td><input class="search_date_fields" name="date_from" /> End date : <input class="search_date_fields" name="date_to" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right"><input class="subimit_button search_button_width" type="submit" value="Submit" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

If this is the same problem I thought I had, it's not that GET doesn't work. It's because the browser hides the form name/value pairs in the query string in the Location bar. If you actually go to the location bar and hilite the URL that you submitted to, you'll see the form parameters in the query string. I hate this, but it is the way Opera does it. :-/

submitting GET forms certainly works in Opera. Copying this code to a file and submitting it creates exactly the same URL as in Chrome. Hence, your problem must be something else. Without more information it's impossible to tell what your problem really is.

Want to get CF7 HTML table <td> input fields value on my email

Want to get CF7 HTML table input fields value on my email but I can't understand how can I retrieve table values in my email.
here is my code
<div class="form-row">
<div class="column-full" align="center">
<h1>YOUR PROFILE</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="column-full"
<table border="1" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>For Registration Purpose</td>
<td><input type="text" size="30"/></td>
<td>Registration #</td>
<td><input type="text" size="30"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Posted by </td>
<td><input type="text" size="30"/></td>
<td>CV ID # </td>
<td><input type="text" size="30"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="column-half">
<h4>Name : </h4> [text* your-name]
</div>
<div class="column-half">
<h4>Father's Name : </h4> [text* father-name]
</div>
</div>
Looks like you're trying to build a grid layout form in cf7. html tables are notoriously unresponsive, so not a good practice to use them.
I would recommend you use the CF7 Smart Grid-layout extension plugin to build your grid form instead. It builds grid forms which are responsive by default.
Next, if you want to insert submitted values into the notification mails, you need to use cf7 tags rather than your own <input> fields. The cf7 plugin does not recognise custom html fields and that is the reason you don't see them as being available when setting up your mail.
So instead of <input type="text" name="your-text"/> you would use [text your-name] and let the cf7 plugin handle the creation of the html field.

Magento email being sent in text format instead of HTML

I am abel to test my emails under system>transactional emails.
My email looks correct when i click on the preview button, but when i send it out and recieve the email the email comes in as text only. so all i see is the html code wich deffinitley NOT what i want. Any reason why my email shows up correctly under preview but not when it is actually sent out?
Below is what my template looks like in the Magento add email template.
{{template config_path="design/email/header"}}
{{inlinecss file="email-inline.css"}}
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="email-heading" style="text-align: left;">
<p><strong>Name:</strong> {{var data.name}}</p>
<p><strong>Email:</strong> {{var data.email}}</p>
<p><strong>Telephone:</strong> {{var data.telephone}}</p>
<p><strong>Service Requested:</strong> {{var data.service-requested}}</p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> {{var data.comment}}</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

ColdFusion submitting a form

I have a form where an user can add new people to the list. I need it to only allow the form to update if the required fields are filled out.
My current code works in Chrome or FireFox, but not with with Safari. In Chrome and FireFox, it will not submit the form unless the fields are filled out. However, Safari allows the user to submit the form even if it is left blank.
Is there any other way to write the code to make it work with all three browsers? Below is just a little of the code for some of the required fields.
<cfform method="post" action="##" name="aForm" id="addClientForm" class="">
<input type="hidden" name="method" value="clientAdd">
<input type="hidden" name="datasource" value="<cfoutput>#request.dsn#</cfoutput>">
<input type="hidden" name="Active" value="1">
<div style="float:left;" class="formContent470">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<th colspan="" style="text-align:left;">Add Client</th>
</tr>
<tr><cfoutput>
<td>
Contact
<span style="color:red">*</span>
<input type="Text" name="Contact" value="" required="Yes" message="Contact is required" maxLength="75" class="inputText430">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Client Name
<span style="color:red">*</span>
<input type="Text" name="ClientName" value="" required="Yes" message="Client Name is required" maxlength="75" class="inputText430">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>

Sounds to me like you're looking for server side validation. I would, of course, validate client side using Javascript and THEN back that up with server side.
Despite the well meaning advice avoid CFINPUT and CFFORM if you can (My opinion others may differ). You'll gain far greater flexibility/portability using a client side library like JQuery and sticking with plain Jane HTML form fields (steps off podium).
That being said, and assuming you'll stick with server side validation as a starting point, there's an "old school" CF method of form validation using hidden fields with specially formed name attributes. That should solve your problem. You can see this method described very well in the documentation.

Internet Explorer form submit with target to iframe not working

I'm using the hidden iframe method of submitting files without loading a new page, and it works on every browser except Internet Explorer, which is strange coming from an otherwise top-notch browser.
The form and iframe look like this:
<iframe id="hidden_upload" style="display:none" src="" name="hidden_upload" ></iframe>
<form class="" action="upload.php" method="post" target="hidden_upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="uploadForm">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><label for = "title">Title: </label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="title" id="title" maxlength="40" style="width:300px;"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="description">Description: </label></td>
<td><textarea id="description" name="description" style="width:460px;height:135px;"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="file">File: </label></td>
<td><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="3145728" /><input id="file" type="file" name="file"/></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<center><input type="submit" value="Upload" id="filesubmit" onclick="return submitting()"/></center>
</form>
I have another page that DOES work in IE, with no discernible differences in the doc type, or form and iframe structure.
It's also not the headers from the upload page because I tried setting the action of the working form to the upload page of the non-working one and it still worked in IE.
The function submitting is working an returns true.
edit:
For the sake of brevity, this isn't working either:
<form class="" action="upload.php" method="post" target="hidden_upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="importForm">
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<iframe id="hidden_upload" style="display:none" src="" name="hidden_upload" ></iframe>
edit: This is completely ridiculous. I copied the working page verbatim into the non-working page and it still didn't work. The ONLY difference was the directory, and the .htaccess files were identical.
I had this problem and after many attempts, it was solved only as explained here:
"http://terminalapp.net/submitting-a-form-with-target-set-to-a-script-generated-iframe-on-ie/"
basically, iframe needs to be created this way:
iframe = document.createElement('<iframe name="fileUploaderEmptyHole">');
I also found out frame names for current window are stored in window.frames. In IE11, the property .name is empty for all iframes in windows.frames :O
I manually fixed like:
for(i=0;i<window.frames.length;i++)
window.frames[i].name = window.frames[i].frameElement.name;
Then, you can get to frames using target name.

Classic ASP on Localhost, no form data?

I have a really odd situation going on on my local PC that I can not seems to resolve.
Recently I have been contacted to extend a classic ASP website that I wrote a few years back. I unpacked the code into a sub folder of wwwroot on my current machine running XP pro. It has never had any classic ASP sites running on it. I set up IIS and create an application and run the website on my localhost. The site renders correctly and appears to run fine. Except one thing... The post data seems to get lost.
I have entered Response.Write("[" & Request.Form & "]") at the top of one of my pages and just renders "[]". Can any one advise as to why I may be losing the form data? The website used to work fine on my last machine running XP Pro, as that is the machine I developed it on. What have I forgotten to set up?
The html form code looks like
<form name="frmAdminLogin" actionAdminLogin.asp" method="post" >
<input type="hidden" name="hidFormAction" value="frmAdminLogin" >
<table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="0" >
<tr>
<td width="40%" align="right" valign="top" >Username: </td>
<td width="60%" align="left" valign="top" >
<input type="text" name="txtUsername" value="" size="25" maxlength="25" tabindex="1" class="TextBox" >
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="40%" align="right" valign="top" >Password: </td>
<td width="60%" align="left" valign="top" >
<input type="password" name="txtPassword" value="" size="25" maxlength="25" tabindex="2" class="TextBox" >
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top" >
<input type="submit" name="btnLogIn" value="Log In" tabindex="3" class="Button" >
<input type="reset" name="btnReset" value="Reset" tabindex="4" class="Button" >
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
It appears that it is not an IIS issue after all but an Internet Explorer issue. The post data is present when I use Opera Browser.
I think this is correct - there is some bug (feature?) of Internet Explorer which prevents form data being submitted if there is only a single form element. If you add a extra element (hidden field, it really doesn't matter) it should work properly.
I'll try to expand this comment when I get a chance but my work firewall is preventing my finding the blog posts which originally pointed me in the right direction.
