In Salesforce open the edit screen after the object was created with Javascript button

In Salesforce, we have a button that creates events with the fields already filled out, but after the item is created I want it to reload the screen in the "Edit" view in case they want to change anything. Any ideas?

Do you need to validate fields values? Maybe it will be easier to do with field validation rules? It can be useful in cases when your data is populated not only from user screens, but also can be created in code (classes/triggers) or via API.
If you know that you exactly should to use JavaScript, you can add standard event attributes to command buttons on your Visualforce page and write JS functions for implementation of your validation logic.

I ended up creating a visualforce page with a controller and a custom button to accomplish what I needed.

How to create a modal form on html static pages to store users in rails

I'm trying to show a modal form window into some static html pages to request a users information and connect this with a Rails application.
I have a dynamic Rails application that save the user's information with a gem Devise in the side of my server.
The creation of modal windows in Rails with Bootstrap seems simple but I do not know if that view can be embedded as javascript into the static pages or if should create the modal form directly in the static page for later send user data to my application rails.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You've got three options:
A) render the html for the form out in advance in a hidden div, then just copy that into the modal.
B) construct the form in javascript, perhaps using a sort of "blank" form with a few missing details, then render the result into the modal
C) use javascript to make a call to the rails back end (which supplies the form html), and when you get it, load it into the modal.
Which choice you use depends on how much dynamic content is in your form. C is the slowest option but simplest in a way since your form will always be built from scratch in rails, which can use the appropriate data. This is suited to a situation where you are looking at lots of records on the page, each of which has a lot of data, and you want to click on one to edit some of the data.
If, for any given page, the form can be generated in rails on initial page render, then you could do A as all of the dynamic elements will be available in your controller in the first place. This is well suited to a page where you are looking at a single record, and want to show an edit form in the modal: because there is only one record to choose between, you always know in advance how to make the form for it.
B is sort of a half-way stage: if you don't know in advance what you will need to load into the form, but the difference between the form "options" is very small then you could fill in the blanks with JS. This is probably the most complicated solution as you'll need to write the JS yourself, but it's more efficient than C.

Preview/Summary Page

New to HTML javascript programming and have an issue with implementation of my page.
I have created multipage HTML form layout(using div) which runs 4 pages with approximately 140 input values(most are optional values) all together. I need to implement a preview page before actually submit where in only filled input values along with their labels are displayed within a section of the page.I am able to collect the filled input values and the label values to an array using javascript. However the issue is, I am not able to figure out how I can pass these values to the actual in html summary page? I cannot implement .innerHTML as my labels need to be dynamically generated based on input values. Can this even be done just by javascript or HTML or do I need a server side script to implement the preview page? Does learning DHTML or AJAX help to implement a solution to this problem? I appreciate all the help. Let me know if I need to explain better.

The BEST way would be a session variable in a server-side language. If security is not an issue though, you can save the variables into a cookie though javascript.

Zend Framework - Add new input element using javascript

I'm working on a project using Zend Framework.
I'm creating a form on which users can add a set of elements by pressing a + sign.
Zend framework uses subforms and decorators to get array of values from a form.
These will show when the page is displayed
How does the new fields created with Javascript integrate in that model?

The best demo of dynamically adding fields on the client to a Zend_Form with which I am familiar comes from Jeremy Kendall:
http://jeremykendall.net/2009/01/19/dynamically-adding-elements-to-zend-form/
The upshot of the technique is to add/call a preValidation() method on the form to check the post for fields missing in the form. If it finds any such fields, then they are added to the form object. By the time isValid() and getValues() are called, all the Zend_Form_Element objects have already been attached to the form, so processing runs as normal.

One suggestion would be to define all input fields that you want to provide using zend form.
But when the form is displayed you could hide certain fields and make them visible by clicking on +.
I think this is the most simple approach because for adding decorators and stuff you would need to change php files on client side and this is not possible.
Another suggestion, you could define several forms. Clicking on + redirectes the user to another form with an added field.

Javascript submitting all the forms on a page

I'm using jsf 1.2. When a particular jsp has more than one form with a specified id, for example when using something like below, jsf gives the form a seemingly random id.
<ui:repeat>
<h:form id="repeatingform">
...
I would like submit all forms using javascript. Is there a way to do this without knowing the ids of the forms?

Submitting more than one form at once it not really possible. The problem is that each form requires its own separate request - submitting a form is basically similar to clicking a link, and you can't open all links on a page at once (you can by opening them in new tabs/windows, but that's a different matter)
If you really do want to keep each form its separate form element, you can use Aquatic's example,
var forms = document.getElementsByTagName("FORM");
for (var i=0; i<forms.length; i++)
forms[i].submit();
but replace the code which runs submit() with code which submits the form using XMLHttpRequest. You can have multiple XMLHttpRequests running in the background.

Hmm, It won't work like that real easy. If you would use something like document.form1.submit(); it posts that specific form and all values in it.
So it's no use looping through all the forms and submitting every single one.
That would be the same as clicking on the submit button of each single form, resulting in each form being posted separately.
The solution is to collect the values of each field in each form in a single collector form, and post the collector form.
You can read (with code examples!) more about it here: http://www.codetoad.com/forum/15_24387.asp

You can access all forms on the page in the next way
var forms = document.getElementsByTagName("FORM");
for (var i=0; i<forms.length; i++)
forms[i].submit();

I think there are several parts of this problem.
1. Are you trying to submit multiple forms in JSF? There is a way you can seggregate components in different forms and then submit a chosen group of them if req. The outer tag may be and inside these you may have as many as you may like. (Please know t:subform is a tomahawk library; but it works well with JSF). Also Subforms can be submitted in a chosed group using t:commandButton.
Notice the last paragraph on subform deocumentation that all forms with comma seperated id's may be submitted. so for example
some input controls here
more controls here
whole lotta controls here
something like this will allow you to submit selective forms and validating components only for forms you wish to validate. If that is what you are really trying to do here.
But if your intent is really to submit these forms by a single piece of java script I have a small advise, javascript supports lookup of form tags dynamically in a dom tree as shown in above example by aquatic. you could traverse those ui elements also by implementing a PhaseListener which gets invoked before "RENDER_RESPONSE" phase and there traverse the ComponentUITree to get the names or list of all the UI components and then provide them to javascript by scriplet variables or $ variables that JSP 2 supports.
I could give more detailed answers or examples if you could exactly lay out your problem, as to WHY you want a common java script and do you intend to submit multiple forms parallely or you intend to submit them one at a time ( as and when requiered) but by a common piece of java script.
Parallel submission of HTML form component is really not possible until and unless u use javascript to accumulate component values from all forms and then do whole lot of manual maipulating.
Give more details on your actual intent.
