Passing dynamic(firstname of the ) username and password
hai experts,
i have a html file.when i passthru html its working fine but with static username and password.
Now instead of the static i want who ever enters his username and password has to pass in the html file.
This is the html file
<html>
<body>
<form name="TestTicker" action="http://www.abc.com/test/cf/Login.cfm?Action=Login" method=post>
<input type=hidden name="uid" value="user">
<input type=hidden name="testpassword" value="password">
<input type=hidden name="lotus" value="lotus">
</form>
<script language="javascript">
document.TestTicker.submit
</script>
</body>
</html>
its working fine.
to pass dynamic username and password i done like this.
created a form
</FORM>
<form name="TestTicker" action="http://abc.com/test/cf/Login.cfm?Action=Login" method=post>
uid: here i put a text box for computed when composed(formula as username)
password: here i put a text box for computed when composed(formula as username)
<input type=hidden name="lotus" value="lotus">
</form>
<script language="javascript">
document.TestTicker.submit
</script>
now my problem is if give the formula as username i think its passing the firstname and lastname in the html.
so i want to pass only the first name means what ever he type in login page.
how can we do it.
waiting for reply.

In your computed uid field, why not put @Left(User;" "). If the value of User is the first and last name of the person, then putting the @Left will return just the first name.

If you have set inheritance to the login form , then you should specify the value of the username field to that in the host form, not @username.
As of extracting the first part of the user name use this
@Word("Saleem Khan";" ";1)

@Word("Saleem Khan";" ";1)
Hello saleem,
first of all "ComputedWhenComposed" is wrong setting for HTML forms. Better is "Editable". Even when you set for this form "TestTicker" the option "GenerateHtmlForAllFields"
Simple erase this JavaScript "document.TestTicker.submi
By the way: you @Left formula has not contained the blank for separator. Also @Trim your name to avoid leading blanks.
Good luck,

As per your comment that @left(user,"") is displaying blank, it's because you need to include the space in between the quotes. So it should look just like this:
@Left(user, " ")
@Left(user, " ")

From your last line of statement "what ever he type in login page", it infers that,
You have another form which is calling this login form and you want to inherit the values of that previous form into this form, Right !
For that you can use the Form property, "Formulas inherit values from selected document"
