How to capture form handler views in pardot? - salesforce-marketing-cloud

I am using pardot form handlers in my website.
Form handlers does not have a way to record the views out of the box.
Is there any workaround through which we can get the views recorded on the form handlers?

There is nothing to "view" with a form handler, that's why there is nothing tracked.
A Pardot Form has both the Front-End and Back-End of a web form. The Front-End is what Pardot can track as a view.
A Pardot Form Handler has only the Back-End of a web form, with the website having the Front-End built with whatever tech desired.
You would need to rely on the page being viewed to get a count of how many people (likely) saw the Form (which is then supported by a Form Handler upon submission).

jsf previous button with immediate=true looses entered data

I have a jsf web application that consists of three pages that collects customer information.
Once a customer completes the first page it is submitted, validated and stored to the managed bean. On the second page the customer completes half of the questions and clicks my previous page button which is a jsf command button with the immediate attribute set to true which skips validation and form submission. The issue I have is that the half answered questions on the second page are now lost so that when the customer clicks next on page one to return to page two the questions they have answered will be empty.
Is there a standard way in JSF to archeive this? I previously used Struts one which handled this behaviour.
Thanks
Tom
In every page loads, jsf builds the view with current controller values. If you did not save this values to the controller bean, they will simply get lost.
to avoid sending the form on your button, simply send the data back to the controller per input component using ajax on the onchange event.

Can a form load another form onsubmit without having to redirecting or reloading the page?

Assume that you want to display two separate forms on one page, but only one at a time.
One form acts as a gate for the other form, and would disappear upon submission, being replaced by the second form.
Is it possible to display a second form on POST on the same page without having to reload the page?
Not without using Javascript in some method or other. Best bet would be to post the first form via AJAX and in the response delivery the second form.

Passing the value of an HTML form to another form

I have a HTML form which allows a radio button selection of two products. After the product is selected, the user has the option of digital download or delivery of which there is a separate form for each asking different questions.
I need to ensure that the product selection is passed to either of the two form for when the user makes the decision on which delivery option to opt for. Only one of the forms is submitted.
Basically I have:
Form1: Product Selection Radio Button (2 Options)
// Choice of delivery options hidden by a javascript reveal of the relevant form
Form2a: Digital download form fields with actions for validation and submission to Paypal
Form2b: Regualar delivery form fields with actions for validation and submission to Paypal
I look forward to a solution from the excellent minds on this site!
Assuming this is all on a single page, it sounds like you don't really need multiple forms. I would suggest just including everything in a single form, wrapping the applicable questions for each selection in separate <div> tags and using some JavaScript to present the applicable <div> when either radio button is selected. When the form is submitted, check the radio button selection on the server side to determine which other form fields to utilise.

how to send data from two forms in a jsp page when u click on submit in one form

In my project i have a scenario like this if i click submit in a jsp which has two forms i have send data from two forms to destination,how can i do that,Please help me out.
If you mean that you want to send the data from the two forms in the same request, that is not possible.
You would have to copy the data, either from one form to the other, or from both forms into a new form.
You can put hidden fields in a form for the values that you need to copy to it.
The only way i think you can do this is completely bypassing the FORM- mechanism. You could put an onclick() javascript event on the submit buttons which calls a javascript function you could call sendAll() or something.
In this function you could get all your formfields and values and then send an XMLHttpRequest (this is the basic of an ajax request) with all that values in it.
That is indeed complicated but it seems to me that this is the only way it could work.

Best way to do a 'Confirm' page?

I was wondering about the best way to implement a "Confirm Page" upon form submission. I know that it's best for the script that a form POSTs to be implemented by handling the POST data and then redirecting to another page, so the user isn't directly viewing the page that was POSTed to.
My question is about the best way to implement a "Confirm before data save" page. Do I
Have my form POST to a script, which marshals the data, puts in a GET, and redirects to the confirm page, which unmarshals and displays the data in another form, where the user can then either confirm (which causes another POST to a script that actually saves the data) or deny (which causes the user to be redirected back to the original form, with their input added)?
Have my form POST directly to the confirm page, which is displayed to the user and then, like #1, gives the user the option to confirm or deny?
Have my form GET the confirm page, which then does the expected behavior?
I feel like there is a common-sense answer to this question that I am just not getting.
If you must do this (I'd only do it for stuff involving monetary transactions or the like, personally), I'd recommend 2 resources/URIs, both of which follow the Post-Redirect-Get pattern: POST the initial cart checkout, create a "pending order" state (or similar), redirect to the page for that state. The user can then POST from that page to the next URI to create a "confirmed order" (or similar), which redirects to a receipt page or whatever.
What I've done in the past is have one page that has a 'View' area with labels and then a 'Edit' area with textboxes/dropdowns/etc. You can make them DIVs or TABLES depending on your preference.
User comes to page and gets the edit view so they can use the textboxes. Save/Submit button at the bottom.
Clicking on Save/Submit does a postback, populates the labels with the data they entered, and allows them to view/verify what they entered. Continue and Edit buttons at the bottom.
Edit is a postback and goes back to the edit view.
Continue does the actual save and redirection to a new page that displays the confirmation.
Optionally you could save the data on the confirmation page instead of the first page depending on your preference again.
Actually, you could do this ahead of the submit. In the form submit (wherever that is) add an onlick that fires a modal window with a confirmation button. My personal favorite in this situation is to use a Jquery UI Modal Confirmation dialog.
I personally fire this via means of a Jquery .click statement in the page.
So, the document won't submit until the onclick dependency has been completed and changed to "true" which the example does automatically with the included "ok" button.
I believe that this will gracefully fallback to just not require the confirmation if Javascript is turned off, which itself is becoming more and more of an "edge" case. In fact, some of my most staunch corporate clients are starting to accept limitations such as this case when Javascript is turned off....and they're way more picky that most any of us ever will be.
Then, you're free to submit to any page you'd like. Personally, I've switched all of my forms over to a Jquery .ajax submit, but that's just me. You can do it however you like.
