Need to programatically click a Submit button

These examples are not specific to a particular web application but will submit data to your web server. Change "myserver" to your URL.

Example 1
Submit the form to the server.

this.submitForm("http://myserver/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi#FDF");


Example 2

var aSubmitFields = new Array( "name", "id", "score" );
this.submitForm({
cURL: "http://myserver/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi#FDF",
aFields: aSubmitFields,
cSubmitAs: "FDF" // the default, not needed here
});

Example 3

A form is submitted to a server using a SOAP-based invocation.


// Populate the content object with form and SOAP information:
var location = "http://myserver/parentfolder/subfolder1/subfolder2/"
var formtype = location + "encodedTypes:FormData";
var content = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < document.numFields; i++) {
var name = document.getNthFieldName(i);
var field = document.getField(name);
content[i] = new Object();
content[i].soapType = formtype;
content[i].name = field.name;
content[i].val = field.value;
}
// Send the form to the server:
SOAP.request({
cURL: cURL,
oRequest: {
location + ":submitForm":
{
content: content
}
},
cAction: location + "submitForm"
}

Hope this helps.

Not knowing the "web application" configuration and programming language, I'll not be able to help you with this problem. If your web application is using an asp.net. HTML, or Flex application file, I may be able to help.

I just purchased the FDF Toolkit.net from [url=http://nk-inc.com/software/fdftoolkit.net/]http://nk-inc.com/software/fdftoolkit.net/[/url]

It could be a tool you can use of future PDF to .net development. Take a look.

Try this code for your submit button:

To submit PDF form data to ASP

var asp_url = "http://your.domain.com/webpage.asp#FDF";

// FDF Format
this.submitForm(asp_url,true,true);

What if you don't want to individually specify the form fields but instead pass all form values to a web application?

Yes I am building a .Net 2.0 web application that will receive the POSTed form variables.
