Hi,

I've searched the forums and there is a similar problem here, but this one is slightly different.

I've built a form for work using LiveCycle designer 8 (my first one, hence the problem!) , this has numerous required fields (text, dates and radio button groups) and also an email submit button. The form works great until I click on the submit by email button, when I get an error message saying that some of the required fields are blank when they are not.

I've checked all of the radio button groups to make sure they are functioning properly and I've been through the form several times to make sure I haven't missed anything.

I'm sure this is a simple error, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Jon

Jon,

In the 'submit' tab in the button palette, do you definitely have:
'mailto:blahblah [at] blah [dot] com' in the 'submit to url' section?the 'mailto:' bit is essential. But maybe you have this, I don't know.

Obviously read 'blah blah' to be whatever email address you're sending it to.

Thanks PetafromOz,

This wasn't the issue because I'm using a submit by email button which doesn't require the mailto: bit unlike the http submit button.

I've fixed it now anyway, I found an extra ' nullTest="error" ' line in the xml code. But thanks for your help anyway!

anyone knows how to send pdf as attachment rather than XML,

I am using the below Javascript code:

var toList = To.rawValue;
var newTarget = "mailto:" + toList;
console.println("before: " + submitNode.target);

// set the email submit button's new target information
submitNode.target = newTarget;

console.println("after: " + submitNode.target);

// execute the email submit button with the new target information
EmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");

Through above code i am ble to send email with XML file and not PDF file..what extra code is required to send PDF attachment.

Plz help

Thanks
Neha
