Validation in Adobe PDF form submitted via email? - validation

I have a form that I created in Adobe Acrobat Professional that accepts approximately a dozen fields. I want to be able to validate phone numbers and emails using regular expressions but I'm unsure on how to do this. I know where to enter the custom script in the Validaiton tab of the field's properties but when I click on submit button nothing fires and Adobe launches the following window.
My submit action is set up like this.

It may not need to be done using validation. I'm not sure if this function is available to older versions of Acrobat, but in Acrobat X Pro, if you select the form field> right click> properties> Format> Special you can select pre-defined format of "Phone Number" for the phone number field and then possible input an arbitrary mask into the arbitrary mask field for the email one.
I believe the phone number one might be limited to USA phone numbers, but it's worth a shot and might be much simpler that writing code to validate it.

app sends an email based on inputs - How can I preview the emai?

I'll start by saying, I'm new to Oracle Apex.
I have an application prepared that can take in user inputs. On choosing the 'create' button these are saved to a table row AND an email is fired.
The email is built in HTML as a process. It takes in the page items displays them in a particular order in the html and sends to chosen recipients.
Can anyone suggest how a preview of the email could be viewed? Or point me to a tutorial that explains/demonstrates?
You can use a DisplayOnly item to display p_body_html if you are using APEX_MAIL.SEND.
Remember to Set Escape special characters on it to No.

I know this is quite old so I doubt you still need this answered but perhaps it will be useful to someone else.
Just last week I had to build a control like does this for us. It's basically two main parts, a JSON service that accepts partial text and returns a list of suggestions and the HTML/CSS/jQuery+UI control.
The service is pretty straightforward so we'll skip over that here.
I'm in the process of doing a write-up on the web side but basically we wrapped the jQuery autocomplete with some custom CSS to make an input that is similar to the address line in GMail. This was done by styling a container div to look like a long input field. The actual input field is within that container and styled to be essentially invisible. Clicking in the container moves focus to the input box. Upon selecting a suggested name, I create a new container to insert before the 'cloaked' autocomplete input which contains the user name and a hidden input with our desired value to send along when the form is submitted. I had to do some other overloads on the autocomplete to get it to act consistently but essentially this is all there was to it.
The control looks at the container for a data-input-name attribute to figure out what 'name' to set the hidden inputs to when they are created with each user pick. When the form is submitted the default model binder rolls all the users of a particular picker (since you can have multiple on a page) into string arrays of the values - assuming your model has string array properties with the same name as used by the input controls - which we can then process on the server side.
By far the hardest part was figuring out the right HTML + CSS to get the look and feel right. I'm not a very strong UI person so this took me forever and still falls down in Chrome which seems to add an accent around input boxes even with (or because of?) styles which make it blend into the parent control.
For our purposes it's been working great over the last week.
UPDATE: It's now on GitHub with a Demo.

Designing and printing a receipt format in flex

I want to design a Receipt in flex.
Which control shall I use to display a table if I want to display some table cells without border? I also want to merge cells in the table just as we used to do in Excel.
Can anyone please give me the code to print the Receipt upon the button click?
I would probable use a List control with a customItemRenderer or a textArea with some fancy text formatting. As for giving you the code, I would be happy to provide input to code you have done or point you in the right direction but cant do your work for you. Best of luck.
Please prepare your receipt layout in flex and just check your layout is proper or not. if it proper then put one button and write down the printjob code on click event of the button. be sure at the time of click event please hide the button till printing is done (means upto send method called)
please refer PrintJob Class of ActionScript for your application to get receipt printing through your flex application.

How to make autocompleting textbox in VB6?

I want to have an auto-completing textbox like the one in the image below:
This screenshot is from an accounting software. Whenever the user focuses on a textbox and starts typing something, the suggestions just pop up under the control (as seen in the image under the Purc type textbox). This auto-suggest functionality even works in the cells of the grid shown in the picture. Moreover, the fields in which this auto-suggest is enabled allow only values from the auto-suggest list to be filled up and nothing else.
I want to emulate similar functionality in my app in VB6. Any ideas on how to implement auto-completing textbox in VB6?
Checkout the AutoComplete Text Box at FreeVBCode.com.
Another option is at VBNet. The article shows how to use shlwapi.dll api.
What I've typically done is do what is included in the project link by C-Pound Guru. Take a TextBox and as the user types into the field have a ListBox fill with results matching the text. The ListBox would by default be hidden but will be made visible when text is entered into the field. When the ListBox is clicked then simply update the TextBox with the ListBox's selected item text then hide the ListBox control again. A quite simple routine to complete.
VBAccelerator is an excellent site for VB6 tips - try their AutoComplete sample

what is the best way to enter multiple child records in a web form

for example, we have a web form to let the user enter personal info such as address and phone number, then the user need to enter the spouse and dependents information. I usually use a gridview for this, but some users complain it is difficult to use. so what is the most user-friendly or conventional way to handle it?
thanks.
I usually use AJAX to do this. Usually a Button and/or programming triggered by an event to add form items.
For example:
Username:
Password:
(+) PHONE
.. then every time you add "+ PHONE" I would add a new set of text boxes for more phone numbers.
One option might be to have a more user-friendly form where the user fills in information for a single individual, and then an "add" button that takes the contents of the form and inserts it into the gridview where it can be reviewed while simultaneously clearing the rest of the form to allow another individual's info to be added.
