Orbeon Form Builder, redirecting after save

I`m using persistence API in form builder, but i can't redirecting orbeon form builder after pushing 'save' button. Anyone knows?
You probably want to look at the Buttons and Processes documentation. This allows you to create simple workflows when a button is pressed. So you could have a button which saves, then redirects to another page.

Dismiss the keyboard in uiwebview in case I d'ont want to submit the form

I am developing a application in phonegap. In the app, there is a page which contains two textfields and a image. No submit button because I don't want to submit the form. the desired working is as follow..
the user taps the text fields, the keyboard appears.
clicking on the image below calls a javascript(jquery method-> $.post()) function which picks the data from the textfields and send it to server(json). that means I m not submitting the form.
and the go button on the virtual keyboard is supposed to submit the form. But in my case as I m not submitting the form so go button doesn't work and it doesn't look appropriate.
I want to get rid of the button..either it may dismiss the keyboard or call the jquery function which it is not supporting.
I searched a lot over the net. I came to know that if i remove the form tag the go button changes to return button which really worked then the return button again looks dumb.
So please help me to get rid of either of the button(preferably the return button).
I don't think you will be able to get rid off the button. What you could do instead, is to have the input field in form with and onsubmit event. This event should perform the jquery $.post method and return false to prevent standard form submission. This way your go button would actually work the way user expects and you don't have to disable it.

Check the Firefox source to see how it's implemented. Open source and all that.

MVC question - hide /show a panel with partial postback from radiobutton submit

I have 2 radio button with values New & Existing. If user chooses New, then I show a textbox on the form and if Existing a dropdown and textbox is hidden. The question is , does the hide/show of the textbox/dropdownlist have to be written in the View or the Controller class? Also when I choose the selection my whole form is posting back and hence all validation error msgs are being shown which should not be shown nless the save button is clicked, how do I a partial postback without full form submission? Any code snippets or urls would be benificial in this respect.

Just show/hide with jQuery that.

Perform 'partial postbacks' through javascript.
Post form to save action only once when it's ready (when Save button is clicked).

About form AJAX`ifying
If I understand you correctly, the answer is the hiding and showing of controls should be done on the view as it's display specific.
If you use javascript to show and hide the controls then because it's on the client side you would not have to postback the form, and could do server side validation when the save button is clicked.
jQuery is very good: Jquery Website
Hope that helps?
