Assigning the file path to a text field

I assume this is simple, but I can't figure it out...
I want to be able to print out the the file name on my form -- preferably the full path to the PDF file, e.g. N:\MyFolder\MySubfolder\MyFormName.PDF
I have been looking at the GetAttribute command but I can't seem to find the file name and path in the XML object model.

The filename and path are not stored in the XML.
The command event.target.path will return the full path and file name to you. The command event.target.documentFilename will return just the filename - no Path.

File browse : How to keep the file path in the file browse field?

Hello,
I have
1) file browse field called P2_FILE_PATH.
2) a select list with submit : P2_REGION
If i upload some file d:\abc.gif , then select some region in the P2_REGION,
P2_FILE_PATH will become empty. But in the session, i can find the blob value. but not the "d:\abc.gif "
Using the following script I could capture the value of P2_FILE_PATH in a field
P2_TEST.
onload="javascript:document.getElementById(P2_FILE_PATH').value = document.getElementById('P2_TEST').value;"
P2_TEST contains d:\abc.gif .
How to retain the file path, though some other field is selected and submitted?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Archana

Hello Archana,
You can't do what you want because of some HTML security restrictions – nothing to do with APEX. As you found out, You can capture the value of this item. You can't set it. After submitting the page, the browser is the one to clear the item.
The only workaround is to work with AJAX and not submit the page until the end of the user input phase.

Getting the file path from a File browse button

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to extract the whole file path (not just the file name) from a file which is selected using a file browse button?
I am trying to save the file path as text in my database (I don't want to upload the file). I have linked the file browse object to a table field in the database. But when entered in the database, all I get is a series of random characters, followed by the file name. I would like to have the complete file path instead.
Tom

Hi thanks
I've placed the java script into the head of the page, but unsure as to how to change the taget url for my submit button from doSubmit('SUBMIT') to doPrepareAndSubmit('SUBMIT'). In fact I don't actually have a submit button, but a save new record (which performs an SQL INSERT into the database using the values contained in the fields on the page) or a update record buttons instead.
I'm sorry but my knowledge of java scripts is not very good either.
How do I do the follwoing?: if your submit button has not any target set its target to url:
javascript: doPrepareAndSubmit('SUBMIT')
Cheers, Tom

Issue with Getting the file path from InputFile component

Hi,
One of our requirement is like below:
I am working on ADF 11g (latest release R1) page. User will select the file and when he/she clicks on the Save button we need to store the file path in the database.
In the database file_path is varchar2(300). We need to store just the file path. I am using InputFile component but filepath is not getting inserted.
This is really urgent. It would be really appreciate if anyone can guide me on this.
Thanks

Hi Mahesh,
I have manage to store the file path from the InputFile component in Jdev 11g. I found the file upload script from this forum and manage to alter it so that i could save the file path to the database. But my problem is to retrieve it back to view as a document. Hope this will help you :)

Cmd+v doesn't paste in the file upload dialogue's search field in Safari

In Safari 4.0.4 on OS X 10.6.2, cmd+v doesn't paste in the file upload dialogue's search field in Safari. It just makes an audio beep to indicate an error.
Using a sample file uploader:
1.) Visit http://upload.youtube.com/myvideosupload
2.) Click the "Upload Video" button.
3.) Select file(s) to upload to s.ytimg.com
4.) Click on the search text field
*5.) Cmd+V to paste text. Nothing happens.*
However, if you right-click, "Paste" is not grayed out, and you can paste normally.
This is for version 4.0.4, but this behavior has been present for as long as I can remember using Safari.
Can anyone confirm this bug?

HI,
I can't confirm a bug but you can report it.
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Report Bugs to Apple.

It possible using javascript to change the value of another jsf text field?

In my case, I have an input text field and would like to copy it's value on the onchange() event into another text field. Using the destination text field's Id and assigning some content with it's .value property

Woodstock apparently renders some Javascript/DOM with some homegrown widget framework which on its turn renders the HTML DOM tree instead of plain vanilla HTML. Correct me if I'm wrong, to confirm this, just view the generated HTML source of the page.
After some Googling I found out that you need getProps() and setProps() to get and set element attributes respectively.
[http://google.com/search?q=webuijsf+domnode+site:sun.com].
If you stucks with this, I recommend you to post this question at a forum or mailinglist devoted to Woodstock, e.g at their own homepage at dev.java.net or the Netbeans forum at nabble.com. You're here at a Sun JSF forum, not at a Woodstock forum.

Load multiple parts of an XML file into one dynamic Text Field

Hi I am trying to load text from an external XML file into a dynamic text box. I have so far managed to load single parts of the XML file into a dynamic text field. I now want to be able to load different parts of the XML file (something similar to a string with appendText) into the same text Field.
I have so far managed to achive this using the String and append text properties, but would like to use XML file to do it instead.
Any tips please?
Thanks

In essence you can just do:
TextField.text = XML.node1 + XML.node2;

Change the font color of a text field in a table by key-combination

I want to change the font color of a text field in a table (single cell only) on pressing a key combination. Does anybody know how to do this.
I have a lot of data in a table. During an evaluation of the data in a meeting I want to change the color of the text depending on the result of the meeting. (for example: High risk = CTRL+R makes the text red).
I know how to change the color using a button, but I do not want to add a button after each cell. For this reason I would like to do it on a key combination that alway refers to the active cell.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Marcel

Hi,
I don't think you can use the ctrl key like that as those shortcuts will be intercepted by Reader (ctrl-R toggles the ruler display on / off). You also might have trouble updating the color while you still have focus on it. You can use the shift key in a similar way, so if you only have lower case characters in the text fields then you can do something like;
if (xfa.event.shift)
    switch (xfa.event.change)
        case "R":
            this.fontColor = "255,0,0";
            break;
        case "O":
            this.fontColor = "255,102,0";
            break;
        case "G":
            this.fontColor = "0,255,0";
            break;
    xfa.event.change = ""; // ignore character
If you need uppercase characters maybe you can have one button to set "review mode" and test that on the if (xfa.event.shift) line. But again it wont take effect until you have tabbed out of the field.

How to get the file path in adf application

hii all,
i have a txt file that i am using in my adf application,
i am passing this txt file through a File Reader, for which i have to mention the file path.
The file is in web-content and when i am hard coding the complete file path i.e C:/JDeveloper/myApp/ViewController/public_html/log.txt
the application is working fine when run on integrated weblogic server.
My requirement is to access this file without giving the static file path, as in case i have to use this application on any other machine..
for that how to mention the file path-
i tried using FacesContext to get the context path :-
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath();
which gives me
\myApp-ViewController-context-root
after appending public_html\log.txt
I am using the following path to access the file :-
\myApp-ViewController-context-root\public_html\log.txt
again i am getting the java.io.FileNotFoundException
Does anyone know how to use file from inside the web-content without giving the complete path..???
Thanks

Hi,
If you put your file under public_html folder, you can use this code to access the file:
For example file is : log.txt
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath('/log.txt').toString().trim();
Thanks.

How to force the File Path Control Browser button to the RT Target instead of the host machine?

I am building an application on a RT PXI system, and for one of the functions I would like the user to be able to use the browser button of the File Path Control to choose a directory on the PXI. However the browser button seems to only want open a file on the host PC, even though the application is fully deployed on the target. Note that I am controlling the PXI from a host PC.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is not a VI to do this. Are you browsing to these files from your host VI? In order to access the files on your PXI RT target, you'll need to FTP in and browse to them that way. You could programmatically do this, but there is not a simple VI to do so.

How to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.

Hello,
I tried to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.
But I was not able to change this colur.
In the report attributes --> column attributes
I tried already:
1. Column Formating -- >CSS Style (bgcolor: red)
2. Tabular Form Element --> Element Attributes (bgcolor: red)
but nothing worked.
Can anybody help me?
I Use Oracle Apex 2.2.1 on 10gR2
thank you in advance.
Oliver

in "Report Attributes" select the column to move to the "Column Attributes" page. In the "Element Attributes" field under the "Tabular Form Element" region enter
style="background-color:red;"
I will also check if there is a way to do this via the template and post here again
edit:
in your template definition, above the template, enter the following:
< STYLE TYPE="text/css" >
.class INPUT {background-color:red;}
< /STYLE >
(remove the spaces after the < and before the >)
change "class" to the class that the template is calling
(I'm using theme 9, the table has: class="t9GCCReportsStyle1" so I would enter t9GCCReportsStyle1)
A side-effect of using this second version is that ALL input types will have a red background color--checkboxes, input boxes, etc.
