is it possible to alter a form after an ajax call?
what i want to do is this:
i have a form with some textfields and a select box with 2 options.
what i want to do is when a person chooses one option, i will unset some of the textfields(depends on which option the user choose).
i do this with ajax because i need to load from my DB which input to disable.
ofcouese i can hide it with jQuery(which i do).
but i was wondering that if there a way for doing it in the ajax server function.
10x.
I would get a look to the Form API of drupal and how AHAH (Asynchronous HTML and HTTP) works here
and here you'll find a small example how to implement it.
Anyway you can always give a look on modules that are using it like pools, filefield (CCK), etc.
cheers :)

I'm working with Request Tracker and I would like to add a button when you visualize an open ticket that triggers a POST call to an external Java Server and it returns a PDF file with a report about the ticket. What is the best workaround?
There are many different ways to add this sort of customization. The easiest might be to write some Javascript to add the button by looking at the divs and ids RT writes to the ticket display page. You can drop the Javascript right in the styling box on the Theme Editor page.
If you can request the PDF via GET, you can just add a link in the Links section. Or, depending on what you're trying to do, you can also do dynamic things with custom field values as described in the External Custom Field docs.
I am rather new to ASP.NET MVC5. I know server side controls are not working directly in MVC, but there will be some way by which we will get similar controls in MVC5 for rapid development. Can you suggest me how can I find such controls? Can you list out all such mostly used common controls for MVC5?
Thanks in advance.
There's no concept of a "control" in MVC. There's various things that function similar to Web Form controls, but it depends on what you're trying to do.
HTML Helpers are similar in that you essentially call a function that returns rendered HTML. You can extend HtmlHelper to add your own.
Child actions function as a sort of separate request within the context of the main request. They accept parameters like an action, can do all the backend stuff an action can do (query database, etc.) and return a view rendered based on a model, like a normal view.
A partial view, in general, can function as a control as it allows you to insert a snippet of HTML somewhere.
Editor templates and display templates can be used in conjunction with Html.EditorFor and Html.DisplayFor, respectively to render a form field or some sort of HTML display for a particular property on your model.
I'm using Javascript to trigger two separate forms with a single submit button.
One form is a Freeform form and the other is a Safecracker form.
It works OK, but is there a better way?
There is no way in HTML to submit two forms at once, without using javascript. So yes, this is probably the best way to go about it.
Your only other option would be to write an EE PHP module which accepts your form input, then sends it to both Freeform and Safecracker. That would probably be far more trouble than it's worth though.
I have two pages, one page for input, another page for the options, how to send value form page to another page on xPages Mobile Controls, or is there another way to make like this.
See my sample page:
1. Page 1:User Input

Page 2:Picklist

note: the built-in typeahead not posible

The in built type ahead is missing the dojo tundra.css file when using the single page app control. This file comes with Dojo its just not being included. Import this file to get the type ahead to work.
I'm unsure as to what you mean about passing value from one page to another, you can submit data to a document and open it in another page, add it to a scoped variable, add a parameter to the URL. All of these options will work.
Have a look at my blog post on this topic. There are a couple of gotchas to get around, most notably, ensuring the the page with your document datasource gets recalculated at the correct time. I'm working on a NotesIn9 on it.
Part 3 covers a couple of amendments to get it working with existing documents and includes a sample page that will work in the Extension Library Demo db. Note the extra view that needs to be created and other details in Part Two.

Does anyone know the syntax, or the way to redirect a sharepoint "New Item Form" to a URL and pass values from the form as parameters in the URL?
So if the form as a "lastname" field, I would want the redirect to be something like http://path_to_other_page?name=lastname
I know I need to use something like:
onclick="javascript: {ddwrt:GenFireServerEvent(concat('__commit;__redirect={path_to_other_page.aspx?name=',/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row/#LastName))}"
Except that's not working for me - I think the "/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row/#LastName" is not correct - I was just trying to guess from other posts I had seen here...
Anyone?
That looks like something that would work on an edit form rather than a new form - that data is loaded when the page is loaded, not when it is submitted. To get the data in javascript you will need to access the textbox directly - jquery may be helpful.
I think you can use the SharePoint's build in Modal dialog (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff410058(v=office.14).aspx). Within the modal dialog, you can callback function that will get the parameters from the form page.
