Instead of digitally signing a form, is it possible for users to attach an image with their signature to the form in InfoPath 2007. The other users who are viewing the form should also be able to view the image and not as an attachment.
Form is browser enabled!
Use a picture control and select "Included in the form" on the popup (instead of "as a link") and anything the user selects will show up directly in the form.
Note that using this as a signature does NOT ensure integrity/security. Any other user can remove that "signature" image and put their own (or put someone elses "signature" image in).

I have a Wordpress site that uses Gravity Forms, including hidden fields which are required for proper functionality. Is there a way to make hidden fields on forms built with gravity forms required?
I will be sending out an email with a URL linking to this form which auto-populates these hidden fields. However, I'd like to make these hidden fields required, or prevent the form being submitted if these hidden fields are not set, which may happen if a user navigates to the form manually instead of navigating to it via a generated URL.
I wish to avoid the perception that the form has been submitted when it has only been submitted with partial information.
The simplest, code-free solution would be to use conditional logic to only show the submit button if your hidden fields are not empty. Here's what the settings might look like:
You can take this a step further and use the opposite conditional logic to show an HTML field with a custom message letting the user know why they can't submit the form.
a hidden form element can't be required.
elements of type hidden let web developers include data that cannot be seen or modified by users when a form is submitted.

If you put a hidden value, make sure you put it with a value to be sent or make sure that before submit, via javascript you edit that value.
You can now use two CSS classes to hide your field:
"gf_hidden" or "gf_invisible"
It won't show the Validation Message if it isn't filled though, so the user may not know what is missing from the submission:
The folk at Gravity Perks have a nice page explaining it in more detail though.

i need a way to insert the contents of a textbox into an email when the user clicks the submit button. right now, i have a hidden section that emails certain fields when the users clicks the submit button, but the field contents show up as images in the emails. this leads to strange rendering on some mobile devices when the user tries to respond to the email.
UI instructions preferred, but I can try my hand at development if that's what we need to do. any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
You should be able to do this via workflow in SharePoint designer. Just add a workflow step that emails users and then retrieve the data from the form submission by clicking the add lookup to body button in the bottom left corner. There are a number of ways you could get this set-up. If you clarify your question, I will clarify my answer but hopefully this will be good enough to point you in the right direction.
I would like to open an attachment directly from an InfoPath form, if possible.
I notice when viewing an InfoPath form in a web browser, I click the blue paperclip attachment icon, I am given three options—Attach, Download, and Remove (see screen shot). Yet when I open an InfoPath form in InfoPath's Preview environment, I get more options—Attach, Open, Save As, and Remove (see screen shot). Is there anyway to get this "Open" option available in the web browser?
Edit: Or perhaps there is a way to get the attachment's base64 encoded string programmatically? Does the File Attachment control have any kind of click event? I know I could add a button, use the button's click event and grab the base64 string that way, but I don't want to add any additionally UI elements.
I don't believe the attachement control has a click event, only the button.
Also, keep in mind that for the WEB version, even though you can grab the value of the attachment field (base64 encoded as you said) you won't be able to write it locally or spawn a process to "open" it unless the form has full trust.
The signing and/or install needed for full trust over the web is by far more complicated than the code to get the field value and save/open it. Don't forget to evaluate that aspect before spending too much time on a solution.
Hi ive got an mvc form with a fileupload functionality. Ive got an action that accepts an file and extracts thumbnails from it, after which the user can select the images and then proceed to submit the form. How can post the initial file via ajax, bearing in mind, this is not the final submission on the form and I want to retain user input. ie no postback
Thanks
I use the ajaxupload plugin for jQuery. Lots of sample code is provided on the site. From the site:
[The] plugin creates invisible file input on top of the button you provide, so when user clicks on your button the normal file selection window is shown. And after user selects a file, plugin submits form that contains file input to an iframe. So it isn’t true ajax upload, but brings same user experience.
Browsers don't allow the uploading of files via ajax. There are several good workarounds, however.
hii i am new to web site development
there is a login page in my web site which is in ASP.net(C#.net) . After entering the username and password and user click on the Login button . The user name and password got check and it shows the message at the "the user name and password did'nt match" but i want this messageas a message box. Currently it is showing as a line on the left-top corner of the page..
if possible so please give the code
You would have to put code in the LoginFailed event handler for the login control (if you are using the .NET framework login control, if not, proceed below). The login control's template also has an error label that you would have to inspect the control's children for to hide since you don't want that to display. In LoginFailed, or if you have your own UI login form, you can write out a message to display via:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this, "error", "alert('The user name and password could not be verified');");
You will have to draw your own message box using HTML formatting (maybe a formatted div element), or use javascript's alert box to do so if you're shooting for a quick solution.
alert('Error','The Username and Password didn\'t match.');
ASP.net outputs HTML to the browser, so if you don't have formatting then the message will simply appear unformatted on the page.
