How can I create a filemaker form where the user enters some personal details and has to choose multiple files to upload?
I want it to be an equivalent to <input type="file"> in a html form.
Is it possible using filemaker pro 6?
what do you mean by "an equivalent to in a html form." your form can look how ever you want it too look you design the look in layout mode but your not gonna write html to create a form in filemaker if thats what you mean.
not sure if you can do it in filemaker 6 but try this
create a field in your table called "attachments" and make its type a container
create a script from the script menu call it insert picture
3 add these script steps
let me know if that does what you want
Use container fields, which store files. In FM 6 they lacked a lot of the features they have currently, and they had a clunky interface, but it works.
Be careful though; you might run into the 2GB/file FM6 limit (which went away in 7) after a while.
This would be possible, including multi-file selection, in FM7+ with an addition of a plugin, ScriptMaster plugin can be used to display a FileChooser that allows multi-file selection.
I'm not aware of any plugins that can do this in FM6, but take a look at 24U SimpleDialog at least it's FM6 compatible.

I understand you can protect the whole document with something like this: myDocument.ExtendedFilePropertiesPart.Properties.DocumentSecurity= new DocumentSecurity("4");
Is there a way to do the same, but to just a single paragraph ?
-thanks in advance
Yes, although I'm on a mobile device and can't check the exact syntax at the moment. But you can find it, yourself.
Start a new document, fairly simple content. In the Word application go to the Developer tab. There's a group/button "Restrict Editing" / "Protect document" (depending on the version of Word). That displays a task pane where you can define the kind of restriction. Select everything BUT the paragraph, then from Step 2 choose "Read-only" (or something like that - not protect for comments or form fields). Make the selection editable for "everyone". In the next step, activate the protection.
Once you have this working, open the document in the Open XML SDK Productivity Tool and you can inspect the underlying Word Open XML syntax. Plus, if you're using the SDK (that's not clear from your question) it will also show you the code for generating the document.
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 ..
Is there some kind of tool (ideally for Chrome) in which I can fill out a long form that I am designing/testing many times?
I should be able to:
Fill out everything once and save it
Fill in the saved form with one button click
Fill out the form differently and save it as a different "profile"
I'm testing some things manually during development so I don't want a fully automated solution for this (I am using Symfony2.1 so I can write functional tests also). I just need a way to quickly fill out the form so I can save myself some time but I haven't been able to find a good Chrome extension or anything to do it. I remember Firebug in Firefox having something like this I think (I never used it though) so I imagine something exists.
The built in saved forms don't seem to be as useful for this task but maybe I'm missing something.
You can check out iMacros for Chrome:

Call it a rudimentary answer, but I believe the button shortcuts in Chrome accept Javascript. I've done this with FireFox by doing something like:
javascript:document.formname.fieldname.value='value';document.formname.fieldname2.value='value';document.formname.fieldname3.value='value';return false;
There are some plugins. I used the below one, and it can satisfy your requirement.
This extension allows you to fill all form inputs with dummy data.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/form-filler/bnjjngeaknajbdcgpfkgnonkmififhfo
Here this one is for storing the form data and reusing it later. plugin populates with the data saved later when you want to fill it again.

Hope this helps
This isn't an extension, but I've always found the easiest way to test a form is with a little jQuery.
I put a link under the submit button:
fillform
Then I fill the form with jQuery.
$('#fill_form').click(function(event) {
$("#name").val("Phoney Phoneyman");
$("#phone").val("555 867-5309");
$("#email").val("phoney#baloney.com");
$("#password").val("123456");
$("#password_conf").val("123456");
});
It takes about as long to do this as it does filling out the form initially and saves a ton of time. A tiny bit more work and you could generate random values - or values from a list.
Just remember to delete it all when you're done.
Google's form filler is just always incorrect enough to create work rather than save time.
Best form fill up extension ever is JunkFill.
I love it.
There is now a Selenium extension for Chrome. Selenium is one of the most popular webdrivers, I've used this as well, and even though there are a few oddballs in there, it works well generally:

I have made a chrome extension which exactly matches your needs, it may be worth a try - SimpleFill.
It's really simple and is available for Chrome, Opera, and Firefox.
Another useful chrome extension Formbot. When set to randomly fill the inputs, it will fill them with valid data.
You can check the Bug Magnet Chrome extension.
I want to have file upload possibilites on my MVC site, and I have that no problem with the input field type="file". But the problem is, the browser decides how this field should look, and that ruins the look and feel of the page.
So my question is, if I want to have icons/images for download and upload and so on instead of the default button that is created by the input type="file" field, is that possible?
Is silverlight out of the question?

The reason I suggest this is because your options are very limited with the file input field. For obvious (I'd hope) security reasons, it is immune to being scripted or otherwise automated and is only visually customizable in very basic ways.

There are a ton of javascript + flash combination uploaders that can replace the button and add other goodies like progress bar, file type and size checking, etc. SWFUpload and jQuery Uploadify are two of the more popular ones and are pretty easy to implement.
I am looking for a nice framework for developing a GUI builder Application. We have an application where 100Os of custom data entry forms and their print formats are required and each client will need some modifications on these. We have a developed a product using java based open source templatnig frameworks so that the layout and field definition are stored in database and rendered dynamically to the user. We also have an appication to design these forms but cannot do visual design.
Now I am trying to make a Visual Form Designer application for generating these forms. Can any one suggest some open source frameworks than can be used? Can I use Eclipse Visual Editor? Or is it better to develop some kind of parser for HTML using AntLR and then parse the HTML output from already existing GUI builders like Dreamweaver to get the desired output?
Thanks and Regards,

Oooh, great question!
I wouldn't know any readily availble framework that you can use. Depending on your needs however, I think rolling your own shouldn't be too hard.
First of all, you probably wouldn't want to give the users too much freedom. Freedom only gives them the opportunity to mess things up and make the resultant forms hard to use. I think from your description that the fields are pre-defined, so that the user only needs to customize which fields appear on a given form, and in what order. Order can be a simple thing like top-to-bottom. Some semi-intelligent automatic layouting could be used to conserve screen space. Adding a feature to group fields together would probably also be useful, and grouping would lead to some kind of standard "group" widget.
Accepting simplified functionality like this, you don't really need the flexibility of a full gui editor. A couple of listviews, maybe a property sheet and a preview window will be enough to give your users the functionality they need.
Of course, this only holds for screen forms. Print forms may be trickier to layout, as people may want to cram as many fields as possible into very little space so the entire form can fit on a single page or something. I really don't have any suggestions for you there, but maybe a similar "simplified" approach with some intelligent auto-layouting could work.
Overall, my advice would be: Keep It Simple! (S... ;)
