Can I create a dynamic (selectable) list

Hi, I'm in the process of building a wedding website and within that I'd like to get a page dedicated to an alternative gift list. The list takes the form of Bricks & Mortar and has items (bricks, concrete, windows etc.) to build a new extension.
Is there a way that I can build a page with the individual items listed alongside a box in which someone can enter a quantity of item/s to buy. Then if there were say 10 of that item it would show how many were left to buy after the purchase was completed?
For example: 1000 Bricks x 10 Someone choses to buy 1 batch of 1000 bricks leaving 9 batches left on te list.
Is this beyond the power of iWeb?

Creating a dynamic Selection List based on a View Object

Hello,
I'm new to JDeveloper and I would like to create a JSP Page with dynamic Selection List based on a runtime query or based on a view object (BC4J). The selection made by an user should serve another dynamic query with the necessary parameters that I built using createViewObjectFromQueryStmt(). By now I tried this using the InputSelectLOV from the Component Palette in JDeveloper. But without success. By the way: the selection list is not very large (5 values), so it's not necessary to have a form finding the desired value.
Maybe someone had experience about creating this already. Please give me a tip or a little example.
Thanks.

Can I create a multi-selection list using a dynamic list of values?

I'm reading section 19.7.3 from the dev guide - it explains how to create a selectOneListbox using a dynamic list of values. Is it possible to create a multi-select listbox from a dynamic list of values?
What I would like to do - I have a read-only view object with a hard-coded query - I would like to display the results of the query in a dropdown list box, or dropdown list box with boolean checkboxes, to allow the user to select multiple items from the list. How can I accomplish this?
thanks

Hi JavaX,
I don't know of any JSF components (at least not any ADF Faces components) that lets you do multiple selection in a drop-down. There is an af:selectManyListbox, but it does not render as a drop-down.

Newbie: how to create a dynamic select list of the current date + 5 years

Hi - I'm a JSP newbie (coming from a PHP background), and am trying to create a select list that contains the current year, plus 5 years. So, the list when generated (today), would display:
2007
2008
2009
2010
2011
2012
Obviously, the code would need to generate inside the option tags, as well as in the value property of the option tag.

function addit(){
          var val = 2012; //you can take this from js date object and strip it off
          for (var i=2007; i <= val;++i){
               addOption(document.getElementById("mycombo"), i, i);
function addOption(selectbox,text,value)
     var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
     optn.text = text;
     optn.value = value;
     selectbox.options.add(optn);
}without hardcoding:
function addit(){
          var dd = new Date();
          var yearnow = dd.getFullYear();
          for (var i=yearnow; i <= yearnow + 5 ;++i){
               addOption(document.getElementById("mycombo"), i, i);
function addOption(selectbox,text,value)
     var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
     optn.text = text;
     optn.value = value;
     selectbox.options.add(optn);
in your jsp:
<body onload="addit();">
<form>
<select name="mycombo">
<option> Select year</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>

Re-clarify--Urgent -- Can Apex create a dynamic menu list from table?

Hi All,
I am asked to investigate the possibility of using APEX to create a table data driven drop down menu, which means the menu list is dynimically generated from what is in the table. Eg. if there are 3 rows in the table, then the application will generate 3 list, if I add a row, then user will see 4 lists next time when the page is refreshed.
Such menu list will need to be a home page, which means it is the first page to be called in the URL. If such function needs to be implemented in PL/SQL procedure, can the procedure be called in Apex's URL?
The deadline is tomorrow and I have spent quite a bit of time but still have not had any clue. Could any one have such experience to point me a way to focus on please? Many thanks.

Dynamic Select List - XML and umlaut

Hi, I've recently implement a dynamic select list as per [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=327306], however it seems to break if I have any words containing an umlaut. I've tried setting the header on the Application Process to UTF-8 (OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE, 'utf-8');) but it doesn't seem to make any difference. The word in particular giving me problems is Kühne - it's the only non english entry so far, but I would expect others in the future.
Does anyone have any ideas how to allow this character to be parsed correctly? Short of using replace to check for this and every other possible character I'm not sure what else to do.
Thanks

Hello
I would like to create a dynamic select list where you can start entering a name and select list reduces with each character entered.
E.g. A list of towns in the UK where you want to select London. This list is delay as normal and as start typing by the time you have entered “Lon” the list only has few names starting with “Lon”
I expect I need a JavaScript to active this?Not in APEX 4.x. Use a Text Field with autocomplete item.

Dynamic select list with one static 'not_listed" option

Hi guys,
I want to create a dynamic select list with one static 'not_listed' option.
One possible alternative is to add the 'not_listed' record into database, but I really dont want to go that way unless there is no other way around.
Can anyone shed some lights on this?
Many thanks,
William

As usual : "It depends"...
If you have a foreign key defined on that field, Scott's reply won't work - unless you define '0 - Not listed' in the database. You can use selec 'not listed' d, to_number(null) r from dual though...
Another - more declarative way - is in the on 'Edit Page Item' page, in the 'List of Values' region set 'Display Null' to 'Yes' and 'Null Display Value' to ' - Not listed - '.

Creating dynamic select list

I have a dynamic select list populated by site names and URLs from a map; when a user clicks on an entry the site name and URL will fill two text boxes. There are also buttons to add, update, and delete entries. These buttons lead to actions within my JPF file.
          When I select an entry to delete, the script runs a delete SQL statement again my Ora db instance, then the page content is repopulated. I want to know how come when I do that I always get the sequence ID of the just deleted entry at the end of my select list.
          Here is a snippet of what I've got:
          JSP:
                    <netui:select
            dataSource="{actionForm.siteList[0]}"
            optionsDataSource="{actionForm.itemOptions}"
            size="4"
            tagId="siteList">
          <netui:textBox
            dataSource="{actionForm.title}"
            size="30" maxlength="200" tagId="title"/>
          <netui:textBox
            dataSource="{actionForm.url}"
            size="30" maxlength="200" tagId="url"/>
          <netui:hidden dataSource="{actionForm.key}"
            tagId="key"/>
          <script language="javascript">
            
          </script>
                              JPF:
                    Connection conn = null;
          query = "delete from stlnt_other_ref_sites " +
                  "where stlnt_ors_site_id = " + form.getKey();
          try {
            pstmt = conn.prepareStatement( query );
            pstmt.executeUpdate();
          } catch (SQLException ex) {
          try {
            Map map = new LinkedHashMap();
            while ( rs.next() )
              map.put(new Integer(rs.getInt(1)), rs.getString(2));
              jsArray += "siteArray[" + rs.getInt(1)
                + "]=new Array(\"" + rs.getString(2)
                + "\",\"" + rs.getString(3) + "\");";
              hasResults = true;
            options = map;
            getSession().setAttribute("jsArray",jsArray);
            getSession().setAttribute("hasResults",
              String.valueOf(hasResults));
          } catch (SQLException ex) {


OK I got it working... Mostly... I don't know if it was a combination of changes that made the difference, but I'll put down what I did. First, I switched my select object in the form bean into just a string type from a string array (it was allowing the selection of one entry anyways). Second, rather than just blanking out the options map, I also blanked out the select object [eg form.setSelect("")].
          Now when I select an entry and click delete, the resulting select list is short one visible element. However, you can still select the blank spot where that last entry used to be. However, this is not a huge issue for me now; I will investigate this at a later time.

Can I create a dynamic number of inputs during runtime?

Can I create a dynamic number of inputs during runtime?
Oracle 11g
Application Express 4.0.2.00.06
Here is my problem:
We have a table that holds metadata about files (hardcopy or softcopy files).
We expect we may need more columns in the table at some point and don't want to modify the table or the application.
So in order to do this I would like to create:
A table called TBL_FILE with the columns:
TBL_FILE_ID               NUMBER                (This will be the primary key)
TBL_FILE_NAME          VARCHAR2(1000) (This will be the name of the file)
A second table will be called TBL_FILE_META with the columns:
TBL_META_ID               NUMBER               (This will be the primary key)
TBL_FILE_ID               NUMBER                (This will be the forign key to the file table)
TBL_META_COLUMN     VARCHAR2(30)     (This is what the column name would be if it existed in TBL_FILE)
TBL_META_VALUE          VARCHAR2(1000) (This is the value that record and the 'would be' column)
So a person can have as much meta data on the file with out having to add columns to the table.
The problem is how can I allow users to add as much data as they like with out having to re develop the page.
Other things to note is that we would like this to be on a single page.
I know how to add we can create multi-row inserts by using a SQL Query (updateable report),
however the TBL_META_VALUE column in the TBL_FILE_META will sometimes be a select list and other times a text box or number field.
So I don't see now a SQL Query (updateable report) would work for this and I can't create an array of page items at run time can I?
Any idea's how I could accomplish this? Is there a better way of doing this?
Also is there a term or a name for what I am doing by creating these 'virtual' columns in another table?
I found this method when looking at Oracles Workflow tables.

Creating Page Items dynamically is not available. You will have to create excess items and hide/show , etc. But you cannot change the Item Type. All in all, too many limitations in this approach.
>
Other things to note is that we would like this to be on a single page.

The 100 item limit will hit you if you go with extra item on page. With Tabular Form that should not be a limitation, unless you are exceeding the 50 item limit of APEX_APPLICATION.G_Fnn items, and the 60 column limitation of Report region with "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" of Dynamic region.

Yes, you can do it. Updatable report/ Tabular Form query can be constructed from the Meta Data using PL/SQL Function Returning SQL Query . It will be a bit of coding in PL/SQL where you use the Meta Data and the Meta Data of the Meta Data to piece together your SELECT with the right APEX_ITEMs. It might have a performance penalty associated with it, but will not be a serious degradation.

How to create Exchange dynamic distribution list using multivalue extension custom attribute

I am trying to create a dynamic distribution list using an ExtensionCustomAttribute. I am in hybrid mode with Exchange 2013. The syntax I have is this:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {(ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
This works correctly on-prem. But hosted always results in an empty list. I can see in dirsync the attribute is in the hosted environment, but for whatever reason, the distribution group gets created but always come up null.
If I create a group looking at the single valued attributes, such as CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y', it works correctly on-prem and hosted.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

I don't think I provided enough information about the problem. Let me add some and see if it makes sense.
I have an Exchange 2013 on-premise configured in hybrid mode with Office365. For testing purposes, I have 2 users, Joe and Steve, one with the mailbox on-prem, and the other with the mailbox in the cloud. Each of them has CustomAttribute6 = 'Y'
and ExtensionCustomAttribute2 = 'NH'. Dirsync shows these users and these attributes are synced between on-prem and cloud.
Using on-prem Exchange powershell, I run the following command:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')}
This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them as follows:
$DDG = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup DG_NH
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $DDG.RecipientFilter | FT alias
So I then delete this DG, and recreate it this time looking at the multi-value attribute ExtensionCustomAttribute2, as follows:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
Replaying the query above, I can see this also works fine and finds my two users.
Next I open a new powershell and connect to Office 365 and repeat the process there.
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')}
This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them.
And then delete the group and recreate it using the multi-value attribute:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
When I run the query this time it produces no result. Every test I try results in an empty group if I am using a multi-valued attribute in the search criteria in the cloud. If I use single valued attribute, it works fine.
I really need to be able to get multi-valued DDG's working in the cloud. If anyone has done this and has any suggestions, I would appreciate seeing what you did. And if this is the wrong forum to port this, if you can point me to a more suitable
forum I will report there.
Thanks,
Richard

How to create a dynamic entry list for an input field in VC(ce 7.1)

Hi Santhosh,
You can define Dynamic entry list for Drop down list and combo box but not for input field.
[Refer this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/2a/28249060dd4dbc872f6266f4557364/frameset.htm] for defining entry list.

Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS.
how to solve it
please help me
Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful and He created the human

A Sub query like this can only return one column, not serveral like here with the star *. Replace the star by one column Name that you want to query.

Can't create a Content Type List Item on Visual Studio 2010

Can't create a Content
Type List Item on Visual Studio 2010

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to select the specific content type in new item form.
This is a default behavior. The "Add new item" link uses the default content type and does not display a dropdown list to change that value. This behavior is hard coded into the control and can't be changed.
Here are some similar threads for your reference:

Dynamic Select List in Reports

Hi,
I have come across solutions to implement dynamic Select Lists. But can the same be implemented in a report.
I have a report of 2 columns which are select lists. The Value of one depends of the other.
Can this be done?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Abdullah,
Thanks for the Tip. However, couple of queries.
1) The first modification involves changing the query to : select lov_pkg.savekey() , colA, colB, ... But the function savekey takes a value.
Ideally, I need this function to be called while loading and when the first select list is changed. How can this be done.
2) Also, To make this change in query, I had to use (Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)) option. Now my Add Row button doesnt work? Can you tell me how that can be customized.
Thanks,
Sunil

Dynamic select list crashes with php

HI All,
I can't seem to get a dynamic select list to work in
dreamweaver. It completly crashes everytime I try adding it to my
page. I found someone else in the forum who had the same problem
but no one ever responded. I've tried several things including
putting just the record set and dynamic select on it's own page
with no other code on it. It still crashes DW. I also tried coding
it myself by making a listmenu and modifying it so that the option
value equals a PHP echo of a value. It crashed there too. Does
anyone have a piece of code with a working dynamic select list that
uses a record set that I could look at? That way I can see where
I'm going wrong. All I'm trying to do is get a simple drop down
select list of employee names so someone can choose their name to
get commission. It's a one table, 2 fields (first & last name)
record set.
Using DW CS3, php & MySQL.,windows XP Pro
Any help would be really appreciated!
