TEB Submit button positioning and auto submit

Hi all, when I preview in a fluid box the button changes to one with a bevel. (it doesn't show on the stage) It looks unsightly and un-professional. Any ideas why it's doing this? Also the auto-submit doesn't work with an advanced action, though it shows my incorrect button NOT the correct one, for reasons unknown? 

submit out

Thanks

Chris

Here's the adv action below. Only the submit button triggers the action.

adv action teb

Else: show an incorrect button

Thanks

Chris


Do you confirm the entry with Enter? Is this action triggered by the Success event? I just tested this and it works perfect (using Chrome)

Apparently you are unaware of the Preview button. You should have a look at:

Advanced Actions Dialog box in Captivate 2017 - Captivate blog

The screenshot showed me that you use CP2017. The Preview button is the first button in the control panel top right.

The Submit button for a TEB uses the style 'Text Button' which is really the style linked to your OS (system button would have been a better name). I never use that style because you don't have any control over it. Change the style to Transparent Button'  (also wrong name because it mostly has a fill and a stroke). You can do it in the Object Style manager, TEB button has a style. Do not forget to check the three states for their style.

I don't understand your second question about Auto Submit not working with Advanced action? I just had a training session two days ago where I used a TEB and Auto Submit and Advanced actions.

Thanks for the answer and prompt reply.  After some experimenting, using Auto Submit only uses the ELSE statement of a conditional action and seems to ignore the IF.  I've tripled checked the variable and advanced action.

Please post a screenshot of that advanced action. Do you trigger that action with the Success and/or the Last Attempt event? Without button you need to use the shortcut key (default = Enter) to confirm that you finished the entry inthe TEB.
