Niall,That makes everything perfectly clear. I'll experiment with the validation, but, as for the second issue, un-checking the "specify values" checkbox was the answer.Thank you very much. The form seems to be on its way to completion.Sean

Niall,OK. You persuaded me. I'm going to use a regular button and customize it. Starting off with the second example you sent, I notice some strange behavior. First, a message comes up saying that the address is invalid, but it is my work address. I've used an Email Address object with an email pat...

Niall,Looking at the example, I see that you do validation there, too. So I'd like your opinion. Is this the best way to go? And is editing the XML not preferable?Thank you.Sean

Niall,A quick correction. I went back to your link and see that this example is a new one that I haven't seen before. I'm looking at it in LiveCycle now.Thank you.Sean

Niall,Thank you for your suggestion. I've seen this example before, but it uses a script on the click event of a button. I'm wondering if there is a way to do something similar, only to edit the XML so that I can still have the functionality (validation mainly) of an Email Form button. Something lik...

I have seen code like this on the click eventevent.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+name@domain.com + ? subject=This form: " ,cSubmi...

John, thank you for your suggestions. That definitely seems to be the best approach. Thank you for your help!

Srini,I need the latter.But if the user wants to fill their own date and time then probably you need to have different controls to capture the input..What controls would I need? And do I take it that one control won't do it. I'll need one for Date and a second for Time.

What you just explained is a problem in this form. Here are the three event scripts I'm using. And you're right. If I use the first script in that dropdown, neither the second nor the third dropdown will work. What is the solution? I'm using a variable, as you suggested. Is there something other tha...

I have an interactive form where the user has to fill in the date and time of an incident. Is there javascript or FormCalc code availabe in these forums or online that can achieve this? Or is it best to use the Date field object? That allows the user to pick a date from the dropdown, but for the tim...
