Forms: field names and HTTP request parameter names

[Former Community Member]

I am trying to duplicate an HTML form in PDF using LiveCycle Designer. The HTML form contains a text field named "FirstName", so I put a text field called "FirstName" in the PDF. The PDF form contains a button with these properties:



Control Type: Submit

Submit to URL: same as the HTML form

Submit Format: URL-encoded Data (HTTP Post)



When I click on the button in PDF Preview, the PDF form is submitting the form to my web application. However, the HTTP parameter name in the request is not "FirstName". Instead, it is



form1[0].#subform[0].FirstName[0]



Is there any way to change this to be just "FirstName"? Or do I have to change my web application to look for these hierarchical field names?



Thanks,

Dennis

There's no way to change it. You would have to change your server code to look for the hierarchical field names.
