Apex PPR built-in Javascript Functions

Can someone please explain the differences between the following apex built-in js functions as used with ppr reports.
If possible please specify the parameters they take.
1. $a_report();
2. init_htmlPPRReport();
3. html_PPR_Report_Page();
I have a requirement to show different child ppr reports based on the values passed from a parent report. I would like to show these reports dynamically. The child reports all get their values from common page items that I've defined.
I am to do this with one child report, but I'm having difficulty with more than one child report.
I can not create an example on http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn because the db structure it is too big.
I hope somebody understands what I'm talking about and points me in the right direction.
Cheers,
Sutherland

I solved this problem.
It was because when the child reports initially loaded they returned no data because the items contained no values. Note that the items are only populated when i execute the js function from the parent report which pass the current row values of the parent report to the common page items. The common page items are used in the where clause of the child reports.
So initially the apex engine got no data from the db for the child reports. I had to change the where condition that included one of the common page items with the nvl function so that i can get something back if the item is null.
Thus it works perfectly.

Problem saving Reader extended PDF created in Livecycle with Javascript functions built in

Afternoon
I have created an interactive PDF in Livecycle with built in Javascript functionality. I need users to be able to complete and save the PDF so have saved it as a Reader extended PDF. The problem I'm having is that when a user completes the form,saves it, and then opens it again the Javascript functionality is not showing despite showing the original selection that the user has made. The Javascript is simply a dropdown menu that will show a different table based on the selection so isn't anything major.
I've trawled forums and this is driving me mad so I'd appreciate some help.
I am using Adobe Pro XI.
Thanks in advance

Confirm() javascript function - I would like Yes/No instead of OK/Cancel

Hi All,
I am using the confirm() javascript function and it works great! BUT, I would like Yes/No instead of OK/Cancel.
Is there another function or a way to change the names used by the function.
<pre>
function SubmitCmd(sCmd) {
var lpartial = html_GetElement('P44_PARTIAL').value;
if(lpartial == 'Y'){
// Go see if this partial exists for this ISD
var l_DIST = html_GetElement('P44_DDDCCC').value;
var l_ISBN = html_GetElement('P44_ISBN').value;
var l_BKTYP = html_GetElement('P44_BK_TYPE_CD').value;
var lapp=html_GetElement('pFlowId').value;
var lpg=html_GetElement('pFlowStepId').value;
var get=new htmldb_Get(null,lapp,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=odpExistingPartial',lpg);
get.add('G_ITEM1',l_DIST);
get.add('G_ITEM2',l_ISBN);
get.add('G_ITEM3',l_BKTYP);
var lexisting = get.get();
get=null;
if(lexisting != 0){
// Show Alert Question
var conf= confirm("There was a partial found for this ISBN and ISD."+
     "<BR>Do you want to add this partial to the existing one"+
     " found?");
if (conf) {
     // Set up to call existing copy in Partial screen.
     html_GetElement("P44_COPY_ID").value = lexisting;
     doSubmit('ADD_PARTIAL');
     return;
doSubmit('CREATE');
</pre>

Hello,
The confirm() function is a built-in JavaScript function which you can’t alter.
You can build your own dialog box, with any text and options you need. Search Google for “JavaScript modal dialog” and you’ll get references to a lot of examples. Not all of them are trivial to implement within APEX.
BTW, if you want your code to maintain its format, you should use the forum internal tags [ code] and [ /code] (without the blanks). This way your code will be readable.

Arie.

Apex supplied javascript function

Hi,
Anyone know where can I find all the apex supplied javascript function?
Thanks
Vincent

Hello Vincent ,
Carl’s application - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=38704:1 – is the best source for now.
The JavaScript library should be officially documented as part of the upcoming 3.1 version.

Passing text including special characters to Javascript functions

I need to call a Javascript function with some text retrieved from the database, which may include carriage returns, line feeds etc. I need to change these to the Javascript escape characters "\r", "\n" etc. I can easily write my own function to do this, but suspect there may be a built-in one somewhere I could be using - but can't find one. Is there one?

Tony,
I tried using XMLDB_GEN.CONVERT and it worked for me:
DECLARE
   v_value_to_save   VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
   v_value_to_save := DBMS_XMLGEN.CONVERT (:t_sql, 1);
   UPDATE my_table
      SET my_column = v_value_to_save
    WHERE my_key = :my_key_value;
END;
DECLARE
   v_value_to_select   VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
   OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
   HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
   HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
   OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
   FOR c IN (SELECT my_value
               FROM my_table)
   LOOP
      v_value_to_select := DBMS_XMLGEN.CONVERT (c.my_value, 0);
      HTP.prn (v_value_to_select);
   END LOOP;
END;

Built-in javascripts

Hello All,
On APEX 4.1
I found the Add Row button has the built-in javascripts
javascript:addRow();
I wonder if there is a reference documenation to show all the available built-in functions?
I found the below page for all javaScripts APIs, but it doesn't include addrow(), so I think there must be another documentation.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e12510/javascript_api.htm
Many thanks

I found the below page for all javaScripts APIs, but it doesn't include addrow(), so I think there must be another documentation.No, that is all of the API documentation. It may be unintentionally incomplete (i.e. documentation bugs), but some APIs are intentionally not documented as they are intended only for internal APEX use. Oracle may change the signatures, behaviour, or implementation of these undocumented and unsupported methods, or remove them completely without notice. Use of undocumented APIs by developers may result in loss of data, and/or failure of your applications, APEX installation or database. Oracle may not provide support in cases where damage has occurred as a consequence of using undocumented/unsupported features.

JavaScript function which fetches return_value from List of Values

Hi,
I have created List of Values named "NICKS". I want to write JavaScript function "get_workers_fullname(nick)" which returns display_value from List of Values. The parameter of function is return_value of List "NICKS".
I am new with this and don't know how to handle this case.
Please help me.

Hi,
The LOV, I mean is the item in Application's Shared Components. I don't mean the visible SelectList on the page.
This is what I found in ApEx's help: "A List of Values can be referenced by page items as well as report fields. It controls the values displayed and limits the user's selection. Lists of Values can be static (based on values you enter) or dynamic (based on a SQL query)."
I'd like to access values in such LOV from JavaScript. I am not sure it is possible.
Cheers,
Tom.

Apex 3.2 hook javascripts to IR and execute those when report is refreshed

Hi,
You propably have see tricks to attache javascript to IR refresh using time out and gReport.l_LastFunction e.g. these.
http://roelhartman.blogspot.com/2010/04/alternative-to-alternating-row-colors.html
http://www.talkapex.com/2009/03/column-groups-in-apex-interactive.html
Here is alternative solution:
You need load jQuery 1.4.2 e.g. in page template header
Create page zero if your application do not have one. Then create HTML region before footer with no template.
Place code to region source
<script type="text/javascript">
;(function($){
$.htmldbIrBusyGrap=$.fn.htmldbIrBusyGrap=function(){
/* for bind IR ajax */
/* check do we have IR on page */
if($('#apexir_WORKSHEET_REGION').length>0){
/* replace apex internal function _BusyGraphic */
gReport._BusyGraphic=function(pState){
   if(pState==1){
    /* ir ajax start trigger htmldbIrAjaxStart event and show loading icon */
    $.event.trigger('htmldbIrAjaxStart');
    $('#apexir_LOADER').show();
   }else{
    /* check is there data stored to #apexir_WORKSHEET */
    if(!$('#apexir_WORKSHEET').data('htmldb')){
      /* store data to #apexir_WORKSHEET */
      $('#apexir_WORKSHEET').data('htmldb',{irReady:true});
      /* trigger htmldbIrReady event */
      $.event.trigger('htmldbIrReady');
     /* hide loading icon and trigger htmldbIrAjaxEnd*/
     $('#apexir_LOADER').hide();
    $.event.trigger('htmldbIrAjaxEnd');
   return;
$.event.trigger('htmldbIrReady');
$.htmldbIrReady=$.fn.htmldbIrReady=function(fn){
$(function(){
if($.isFunction(fn)&&$('#apexir_WORKSHEET_REGION').length>0){
   $('#apexir_WORKSHEET_REGION').bind('htmldbIrReady',fn);
})(jQuery);
addLoadEvent(function(){$.htmldbIrBusyGrap();});
</script>Now your IR will trigger htmldbIrReady event when report is refreshed.
Usage example
<script>
$(function(){$('#foo').bind('htmldbIrReady',function(){alert('Hello');});});
</script>Also it trigger htmldbIrAjaxStart and htmldbIrAjaxEnd events.
Usage example
<script>
$(function(){$('#foo').bind('htmldbIrAjaxStart',function(){alert('Ajax start');});});
$(function(){$('#foo').bind('htmldbIrAjaxEnd',function(){alert('Ajax end');});});
</script>Or use function $.htmldbIrReady example
<script>
$(function(){$.htmldbIrReady(function(){alert('Hello');});});
</script>Small demo that logs those events here
http://actionet.homelinux.net/htmldb/f?p=100:87
Hope this helps and you post other innovative solutions or usage examples about this

Thanks for demoing this in the application.

Javascript-function doesn't work with user nobody

I recently started to use AJAX with APEX. I defined a Application Process and a Javascript-Function which fetch values from a Lookup-Table into some fields, which works great. Except when I make the page available public (user nobody), then it doesn't work anymore.

Hello,
Do you have page 0 (zero) in your application? If you are using page 0 as a parameter in your htmldb_Get function, the page must be public (http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:63).

Select list display value in javascript function

Hi All,
I have a select list in a tabular form having a display value & return value.
I am using $x(var_name).value or $v(var_name) for retreving return value of the select list in a javascript function.
Can anyone let me know how can I get the display value of the select list in a javascript function? Im using Apex 3.2
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

What if the select list is not an item. Select list I am talking about is in a tabular form.Regardless of how they're generated in APEX, in JavaScript they're all DOM nodes. There are many ways of accessing the node of the required element. Consider the Items for Order... tabular form on page 29 of the Sample Application:
var productNameLOV = document.wwv_flow.f04[0] // select list containing name of product on first order line
var productNameLOV = $x("f04_0001") // another way of accessing the same node, using the ID attribute generated by apex_itemWe can see this using the Safari console:
=> productNameLOV = document.wwv_flow.f04[0]
    <select name="f04" id="f04_0001" autocomplete="off">…</select>
=> productNameLOV = $x("f04_0001")
    <select name="f04" id="f04_0001" autocomplete="off">…</select>Once you've got the node—however you get it—you then use the methods shown above:
=> i = productNameLOV.selectedIndex
    3
=> productNameLOV.options.text
"Business Shirt [$50]"
So it appears you would use:var item = document.wwv_flow.f01[i];
var selected = item.selectedIndex;
var selectedOption = item.options[selected].text;
This is meaningless:...
var my_var = document.wwv_flow.f01[i].id; // f01 is tabular column of select list
if ($x(my_var) == 'display_value') //$x(my_var) is having return value, but i need display_value there
<tt>$x(my_var)</tt> returns a DOM node object, whilst <tt>'display_value'</tt> is a string: they are not comparable.

Filter items are not set via Redirect to a javascript function

Hi,
i have a page with a few filter items and a button which redirects to a javascript function. The problem is that the filter items are NULL in the called javascript function. If i do a submit via another button before then it works.
Here the details:
URL Target of the button: javascript:callReport('f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.','bir.bir_api.printReportBi?pSessionId=&SESSION.&pBu=&P250_FILTER_BU.&pSupplyTeam=&P250_FILTER_SUPPLY_TEAM.&pMaxBiEff=&P250_FILTER_BI_EFF_MAX.&pGroup=&P250_FILTER_GROUP.');
Called javascript function:
function callReport(p_href,p_url)
var url;
url = document.getElementById(p_url).value;
w = open(url,"winRep","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=1100,height=800");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
// wait 5 seconds before reloading
setTimeout("waitSome()",100);
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,
In my example I do a refresh of the report region using adynamic action. In the report source I've set my filter item as "Page item to submit".
To open the link for the pdf report I use a dynamic action that fires after refresh of the report region.
That's it.
If you want to use your callReport function and need to submit your filter items first, you could try using a ajax post to send the filter values to the database. There's a nice explanation on ajax post in this blog:
http://apextips.blogspot.nl/2012/09/apex-ajax-basics.html
Good luck,

Calling Javascript function from PL/SQL Process

I am new to APEX and Javascript so please forgive my question.
I have a process on page which successfully runs a few procedures etc. but now, as part of this process, I want to call a javascript function I have typed into the HTML Header.
My question is how can I call the javascript function from my process? Is it possible?
Many thanks
Winnie
ps. as an example my javascript looks like:
<script language="JavaScript">
function test(){
var decision = confirm("Click a button below and watch what pops up next.");
alert(decision);
</script>
