Adobe LiveCycle (Archived)

What API, if any, allows you to send/receive HTTP requests using Javascript within LiveCycle Designer (8).

I want to load/save data using a Javascript script.

Thanks.

By lack of response, does that mean that Adobe did not expose to Javascript the methods that Livecycle uses itself to post and get requests to servers?
And that we are forced to use your canned "Submit and Pray" user interface???
I demand an explanation from the Livecycle Development Team.
Next is your legal department for false advertising that Javascript is available in Livecycle.

Sorry I did not see this post until this AM.

Not sure I understand your request. There is a submit button object that will post to whatever URL that you want as well as allow you to define the format of the submission. Although I have never used it there is a POST function in the scripting reference.

As far as recieving HTML traffic (I assume that you are refering to a response from your post), if you are rendering the form in a browser then HTML that is returned is interpretted by the browser. If you are in standalone Acrobat/Reader then there is no HTML interpretation and you must return PDF to the app.

Just wanted to point out that these are User forums - not official Support forums. There are some Adobe folks around, but it's primarily users helping users. And no, I'm not one of the Adobe people.

In pretty much every thread you've posted you're flying off the handle about something that, with some deep breaths and a little research, could probably be dealt with easily.

You seem to be coming from a coder point of view and haven't taken the time to understand what LC is about. I really recommend going through some of the tutorials and checking out some of the web resources.

Some of the sites I follow:
