Dynamic Select List based on TextField data

Hi,
I like to dynamically display the select list based on the value in the textfield, the data in the textfield is of character type.
Thanks

Hello,
Well as you now know HTML based select lists don't work like that, that widget is called a combo box and there will be built in combo boxes in APEX 3.0, it's a fairly complex dhtml widget.
What you might want to do is provide a text item next to your select box and an Add New Value Option in your select list.

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.

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>

Dynamic selection list based on selection screen values ?

I have a requirement which I can't solve in one step in a selection screen
first field I have to select the contract like you do with me33k
in the second field I have to select the position of the contract filled in at the first field ?
if the position is selected I have to fill other fields in the selection screen and block them for altering the information entered by the position selected
anybody got some sample on how to do this ??
kind regards

Problem writing a sql query for a select list based on a static LOV

Hi,
I have the following table...
VALIDATIONS
ID          Number     (PK)
APP_ID          Number
REQUESTED     Date
APPROVED     Date
VALID_TIL     Date
DEPT_ID          Number     (FK)
I have a search form with the following field item variables...
P11_DEPT_ID (select list based on dynamic LOV from depts table)
P11_VALID (select list based on static Yes/No LOV)
A report on the columns of the Validations table is shown based on the values in the search form. So far, my sql query for the report is...
SELECT v.APP_ID,
v.REQUESTED,
v.APPROVED,
v.VALID_TIL,
d.DEPT
FROM DEPTS d, VALIDATIONS v
WHERE d.DEPT_ID = v.DEPT_ID(+)
AND (d.DEPT_ID = :P11_DEPT_ID OR :P11_DEPT_ID = -1)
This query works so far. My problem is that I don't know how to do a search based on the P11_VALID item - if 'yes' is selected, then the VALID_TIL date is still valid. If 'no' is selected then the VALID_TIL date has passed.
Can anyone help me to extend my query to include this situation?
Thanks.

Hello !
Let's have a look at my example:create table test
id        number
,valid_til date
insert into test values( 1, sysdate-3 );
insert into test values( 2, sysdate-2 );
insert into test values( 3, sysdate-1 );
insert into test values( 4, sysdate );
insert into test values( 5, sysdate+1 );
insert into test values( 6, sysdate+2 );
commit;
select * from test;
def til=yes
select *
from test
where decode(sign(trunc(valid_til)-trunc(sysdate)),1,1,0,1,-1)
       =decode('&til','yes',1,-1);
def til=no
select *
from test
where decode(sign(trunc(valid_til)-trunc(sysdate)),1,1,0,1,-1)
       =decode('&til','yes',1,-1);
drop table test; It's working fine, I've tested it.
The above changes to my first idea I did because of time portion of the DATE datatype in Oracle and therefore the wrong result for today.
For understandings:
1.) TRUNC removes the time part of DATE
2.) The difference of to date-values is the number of days between.
3.) SIGN is the mathematical function and gives -1,0 or +1 according to an negative, zero or positiv argument.
4.) DECODE is like an IF.
Inspect your LOV for the returning values. According to my example they shoul be 'yes' and 'no'. If your values are different, you may have to modify the DECODE.
Good luck,
Heinz

Dynamic Select List

Hi,
I got a requirement as below
I am having five columns in my table as below
1) Det_ref (Primary Key Column)
1) Ord_Ref (Master table foreign key)
2) Function Type (Select list based on a dynamic query)
3) Function Code (Select list should be populated based on Function Type selected above)
4) Cost (Readonly Text box -- Based on the Function Code selected this cost should be shown)
5) Special Requirement (Text box to enter any special requirements)
These last 4 columns should be shown in a tabular way and I have a Button to add a row using java script (The page should not get refreshed)
and finally I have Submit button which saves the data to the database at the end.
The problem I am facing is the function code select list is not getting generated dynamically based on function type. I am calling the javascript to populate but it is always populating the first row only as there will be no reference from the second row.
Can anyone kindly provide me the code if already done. Please help me in this issue.
Thank you
Regards
Dev

Hi Andy,
Thankyou so much..
It is working perfectly as I require.
I need to place a text box after my second LOV. But this textbox is not based on the table. When I select a value from my second LOV it should populate the cost of that particular value selected in the second LOV. But if I keep a text box it is giving a error as below
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 0, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current checksum = "C189DDAFB90EAC4A835B4E8C05284AEA", item checksum = "B7D3B67F53FB31BD9764FC325E9A9A91".,
Please help me in this issue.
Thankyou

Select list based on LOV - and allowing new values

Hi All,
I have a page that has a select list based on a dynamic list of values. I wanted to test out how the system was working, so I truncated all of my tables, and now my select list is blank (which makes sense). The problem is that I can't type anything into the select list. How can I make it so that if there isn't a value returned from the query that populates the LOV, I can just type one in? This also goes further in that if the value I wanted isn't already in the db, how does the user add in another value?
Thanks in advance,
Corey

Default value dynamic select list

Hi everybody,
I have a question concerning dynamic select lists.
I have a report of a table that shows some records. Each record has different versions of data. So when you click on a record you get to another page where you get some information about this record and where you can select the version of this information (with the help of a select list).
The select list works fine and is defined dynamically as follows:
select distinct a.name display_value,
a.version_id return_value
from cn_pl_version a,
cn_pl_std_peplanung b
WHERE a.version_ID = b.version_id AND
b.pe_id = '&P6_HELP_PRODET.'
order by a.version_id desc
My problem is that when I click on a record I always get the report filled with the oldest version of the current record, so I always have to choose the newest version in the select list manually. I would prefer always to have the newest version in the report.
The query for the report is as follows:
select
(select sum(stunden) from cn_pl_std_peplanung t02
where abt_id = '10'
and t02.pe_id = t1.pe_id
and t02.version_id = t1.version_id
and t02.idee_id = t1.idee_id) stunden_ir,
(select name from cn_pl_version u01
where u01.version_id = t1.version_id) Version
from cn_pl_std_peplanung t1, cn_pl_projektelemente z1, cn_pl_version u1, cn_pl_projektidee s1
where t1.version_id = '&P6_VERSION_WAHL.'
and t1.pe_id = z1.pe_id
and z1.pe_id='&P6_HELP_PRODET.'
group by t1.pe_id, t1.version_id, t1.idee_id
'&P6_VERSION_WAHL.' is the item of the select list
'&P6_HELP_PRODET.' is the ID of the current record
I'm not sure if you understood my problem, my english isn't the best...
Thanks for any kind of help!!
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
what value does you select list show, when you branch to the page? Is it the correct one?
If not you should change your select list, that the correct version is selected as default. You can define a "default value" when you set the source of the element.
Otherwise you can maybe set up an example application at http://apex.oracle.com.

Select List (based on LOV) query problem

Hello experts! I have a small problem here, which I can't seem to overcome.
I have a page item (select list based on LOV), which is based on a query. The query returns all potential employees of a department that are responsible for a certain duty. So far so good!
The problem is that there are two departments, which should not only see there own employees but also the name of the employee that has carried out a certain task. However, due to my query, the name of that person is not displayed - only the pk is returned.
Do you have a recommendation how I display all employees of a specific department and have additional values translated as well?
My query is as follows: select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter where cnt_bearbeiter in (SELECT
CNT_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK FROM TBL_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK) union select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter where int_behoerde in (SELECT
CNT_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK FROM TBL_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK where STR_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK = lower (:app_user)) whereas :app_user holds the information of the department.
Any hint is appreciated!
Many thanks,
Seb

Okay, I just had the right idea and it's working well! Sorry for posting!
I return the name of the employee that has edited a dataset and simply add all others of the logged on department! Really easy! Should have thought of that before posting! ;-(
The correct code is select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter a, vt_tbl_punktdaten b where a.cnt_bearbeiter = b.int_bearbeiter and
inv_pt_id_sub = :P4_PTIDS
union select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter where int_behoerde in (SELECT
CNT_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK FROM TBL_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK where STR_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK = lower (:app_user))Bye,

Order in a Select List based in a LOV is wrong

I have a select list based upon a LOV SQL Query.
Values in table are:
FIELD
001
002
003
AAA
when I make query in SQL Workshop:
select FIELD from TABLE order by FIELD;
I get
001
002
003
AAA
But when I make a similar query in LOV the result is in the select list
AAA
001
002
003
Someone knows what is happening?
Thank
Ander

It looks like your application is running a different sort / NLS preference then is the SQL workshop. Is there a chance your application identifies a language that sorts differently then default APEX. I am just guessing but it could explain this behavior.OK, I think something like this is happening because my Oracle instance have SPANISH like a NLS_LANG parameter, but why is different result between sql Workshop and LOV query, I have installed english and spanish languages in my apex instance, I get the same problem in both cases.
Other curious think is that my min and max values are OK,
for example
BETWEEN: <select list 1> AND <select list 2>
default value for <select list 1> is
DECLARE
exitvalue varchar2(10);
BEGIN
select min(FIELD) into exitvalue
from TABLE
return (exitvalue);
END;
I get 001
default value for <select list 2> is
DECLARE
exitvalue varchar2(10);
BEGIN
select max(FIELD) into exitvalue
from TABLE
return (exitvalue);
END;
I get AAA
But select list are ordered like
AAA
001
002
003
I have based select list in a lot of different sql ways
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY FIELD
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY 1
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY FIELD ASC
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY 1 ASC
Other extraneous think is that I use DESC order I get
003
002
001
AAA
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 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!

Dynamic select list with display,return val & join condition issue.

hello,
I am having a dynamic select list with display, return value
say for example my select statement is
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt
right join emp e on (e.deptno=dt.deptno)
where (condition)
when i tried this query for my select list, it is not working. It saying that
" LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query. "
I am not able to understand the problem. Can anyone help me out with this issue?
thanks.

Shouldn't your join have dept as the driving table?
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt
right join emp e on (dt.deptno = e.deptno)
where (condition)
Or using older Oracle standard join
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt, emp e
where (dt.deptno (+) = e.deptno) AND (OTHER WHERE condition)
OR
(Since a right join is just getting the values from the driving table that are NOT in the associated table)
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt
WHERE dt deptno NOT IN (SELECT deptno FROM emp) AND (OTHER where condition)
Thank you,

Dynamic select list: link to another page

Hi
Have following dynamic select list at the bottom in "product.php" page (www.dolls.com.sg)
<div id="selectcat">
<select name="Categories">
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_rsCategories['categoryName'], $row_rsCategories['categoryName']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rsCategories, 0);
   $row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
?>
</select>
My target is, whenever a visitor clicks on a category in the pull down menu, he is forwarded to the respective "categories.php" page.
How can I do that?
Thanks
Helmut

Change your code to this:
<div id="selectcat">
<form method="get" action="categories.php">
<select name="Categories">
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?>">
    <?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rsCategories, 0);
   $row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="View Dolls">
</form>
</div>
In categories.php, use $_GET['Categories'] to filter the recordset.
