4.2 select list on mobile page not setting session state

Hi,
Like I've done dozens of times in the past, I created a Select list that submits on change, and I expected session state to be updated accordingly.
I tried this on a mobile page but session state is not updated for the item.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Scott

Hi Scott,
is it possible that you are hitting bug# 14680379 - PAGE SUBMIT ACTIONS DO NOT WORK FOR LONGER MOBILE SELECT LISTS, WHEN DEFINED TO FIRE WHEN THE SELECT LIST VALUE CHANGES
on our Known Issues List http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/apex-42-known-issues-1863578.html ?
Is your select list selection displayed as native control or as popup? Can you create a test case on apex.oracle.com?
Thanks
Patrick

NEWBIE: Submit Page to set session state

I have a form that displays various items to include Popup LOVs (dynamic; based on session variables). If the user displays a page, the session state is not yet set so the Popup LOVs don't function correctly (until the user presses the Apply Changes button to submit the page). Can I automatically submit the page or set session state for those items used in the LOVs on page load? Note that I'm not too familiar with the use of javascript. I'm using Application Express version 2.0

Yes, I discovered that! Thanks for responding, though. I basically run a process (PL/SQL) under page rendering section that looks like:
begin
htmldb_util.set_session_state('P10_MACHINE_TYPE','&P10_MACHINE_TYPE.');
end;
Thanks!

Form field displaying but not in session state

I have a form which displays data depending on node selected in a tree. The data displays ok and allows me to update but If I try to access a value ( I want to filter a select list ) its empty.
Displaying all session values reveals that only the primary key of the form is held in sessikon state. I have set the value I want to read to 'Display as Text ( saves state )'
Regards
Seán

I have 2 regions, a tree and a form. The form was created with the wizard and I added the tree afterwards.
The tree nodes are links which branch to the same page and set the value of the primary key field .
I've copied the event view of the page below...

Can't Set Session State from the Login Page

I have a dilema. On the standard login page I enter values in 2 fields namely, CAMPUS (Select List) and USERNAME (text field).
After clicking on the login button I want to navigate to PAGE 1 and use the values of CAMPUS and USERNAME to filter data. I have created two APPLICATION Level items (A_USERNAME,A_CAMPUS) to which I assign the values of USERNAME and CAMPUS in two AFTER SUBMIT computations on the login page.
When I arrive on PAGE 1 the session state values of A_USERNAME,A_CAMPUS are still both null therefore the query returns null. It seems that the login process does not issue a SUBMIT for session state to be saved. How do I save the values in session state on login?
In the Login PROCESS, can I specify the Page 1 items to be set and the values to set them in a URL somewhere? Is it here?
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':1' <<========here?
If so what is the correct syntax?
If I revisit the login page a second time, a submit is issued and the values are set in session state.
Anyone got any ideas??
I tried creating a standard position button which issues a submit but this didn't work either.
regards
Paul J Platt

Unfortunately your solution is causing problems with retrieving cookies that I try to get for the campus and username during a "Before Header Process" as well. The cookies are normally set on an "After Submit" process. When I return to the login page I get
Error ERR-1029 Unable to store session info. session=10760914996048113736 item=8561939526127479
ORA-02291: integrity constraint (FLOWS_010600.WWV_FLOW_DATA_FK) violated - parent key not found
But if I turn the cookies off, it seems to work OK.

Items not in session state when column link used and prevpage not submitted

I have a report on page 2 (cemetery lot info) with a column link to page 3 (burial info).
There is a process on page 3 that updates billing information using items from page 2, and billing code selected on page 3. The problem is, if the user does not submit page 2, session state is null, or has values from previously submitted page 2. How do I make sure the billing info is correctly updated from items displayed on page 2, if they are not in session state?
begin
if :P3_BILLING_CODE = 'OWN' then

Hello,
If I understand you correctly, it seems like your page logic is a bit problematic. The scenario I see is that the user is populating the form part, submiting the page, and the report region is being displayed (as the where clause depends on an item from the form region). Now, the situation you are describing, where the billing information is not correct, is possible if the user changed some of the form items on page 2, didn't submit the page – hence didn't update the report region – but still chose to branch to the next page, using the (non-updated) report link column. If I understand it correctly, you should first correct this situation. If the user is changing some details in the form section, the page should be re-submitted. This will resolve your problem, because as part of the page submit process, session state will be set correctly.
I believe this is the simplest and correct solution. Other options, like updating session state per changed item (using JavaScript) will be much more complicated.
Regards,
Arie.

Dropdown List in Second Page Not Displaying First Page's Selection

Hi,
I have two pages. The first displays an employee hierarchy. So the first page displays several employee ids. When you click Edit, the second page only displays the emp_id because of this code in my dropdown list.
e.emp_id=:P2_X_EMPDROPDOWN;
The other dropdown lists do not get populated with the previous page selection. So my questions is how do I get the dropdown lists in page 2 to display the previous page's selection. So the focus of each of the dropdown lists should highlight the previous page's selection.
Thanks in advance.

If I understand your problem right, this can be the solution:
In the list of values definition of the seccond selectlist, you set this:
select e.LST_NM||' '|| e.frst_nm d, e.emp_id r
from
emp_table ethen your default value must be the Id selected on the first page. You can do this as follows:
Default Value Type is set to PL/SQL Function Body
Default value is
return :P1_X_EMPDROPDOWN;

Select List & Pop-up Page

Hey everyone...
I am having some trouble with passing values to and from a pop-up window. When running the application the user must select a value from a select list (which appears in every row of a query report), then another page must pop-up displaying another query report. The user then select a row from that report and the window closes, returning the values of that row.
I am able to do everything, including returning the values to the original page, except for sending values to the pop-up itself. I need to send the pirmary key value to the pop-up.
The select list is a query based LOV. In the element attributes field I have:
onchange="triggerPopUp('#TABLE_PK#');"
The syntax for triggerPopUp is the following:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function onceYouPopYouJustCantStop(table_pk) {
var sendpk = table_pk;
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:30:&APP_SESSION.::::PK_30:'+sendpk;
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=320,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
The window pops up, but the value of TABLE_PK is not recognized. If the function call is used in the URL for a column link it works perfectly, but I need it to happen after the select list is changed...
any help would be great...

the onchange is on the dropdown column, which is not the TABLE_PK column. I can use this.value to find the value of the drop down, but not any other column. getElementById does not work. If I use getElementById or simply #TABLE_PK# in the HTML Expression field it will give me the value. But I'm trying to place it in the Element Attributes field, which seems not to work the same way.
If I could somehow refer to the drop-down item (which is a query LOV, not an HTMLDB created item) through the element attributes, I think it would solve my problem...

Select List field in Form not pulling correct record

I have a report that displays a Product Name and a Host Name. Each product can reside on multiple hosts and each host has multiple products, hence an associative table with product_host_asgmt_id, product_id and host_id is defined.
The report I created selects data from the associative table and presents the user the product names and host names without a problem. the same report has an edit link that when selected will open a form that should display the selected host name and product name. In the form both of these fields are defined as Select List. The issue is that the list shows all the LOV but does not focus on the one that was selected in the report to edit.
I unhid the product_host_asgmt_id, product_id and host_id in the form and the values contained are correct, so I think the Automated Row Fetch is working. This same form needs to be used for editing and for creating new values hence the Select List.
I I have the Source section of the Host_name select list field set to : Only when current session state is null and the Source Type is an SQL query selecting all host_name form the host table.
Any ideas how to get the values selected in the report to appear in the form?
Thanks and apologize if this is trivial. I'm a rookie Apex user (but I like it).

When you link to the form page, I assume you are passing the host_id value into a page item. Say you pass this value into item P2_HOST_ID, just make the select list item's Source Type Item (application or page item name) and enter P2_HOST_ID in the Source field.
This assumes that the lov query is of the form "select host_name d, host_id r from ...".
Be careful with Source Used "Only, ..." so that you never allow the page to display with a stale and unwanted value in P2_HOST_ID or that will produce an incorrect display value in the select list.

How to write a PL/SQL select list with submit page?

Let's we need some select list that are related with each other. I wrote such a code.

InfoPath 2010 - Multiple Selection List Box - Rule Does Not Run When Unchecking Value

I have a multiple selection list box on a form. I have a rule that sets the value of another field. There is not condition. Just any time item is checked or unchecked the value of the other field should
change. This works when checking an item in the list box but not when unchecking the item in the list box. My question is - do rules not fire for a multiple selection list box when unchecking an item?

Hi,
I have tested in my lab environment, the rules seemed only fire for the latest checking action, and it did not fire when uncheck multiple-selection list box. Here is a workaround for your reference:
http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/17850/62269.aspx
However, I’d recommend you use check box instead, since it is much easier to set rule according to value of it. We can set it as true when we check the box, and set it as false when we uncheck it as below:
Then it is simple and clear to make rule according to the value of check box.

Select list with URL redirect - not showing the same display value selected

Hi
I have several select lists with URL direct on my page similar to this
for p6_queries item the LOV is
select QUERY_NAME display_value, 'f?p='
|| :APP_ID
|| ':'
|| 6
|| ':'
|| :APP_SESSION
|| '::::p6_queries:'||QUERY_ID||'#qtables' return_value from .....
I am assigning a return value to the item p6_queries. But when the page is redirected, I dont see the selected value as selected in the list. Instead it goes to the null display text. Can any one help me on this?

The problem is that your setting the item value to value of query_id. But your select list has the value of each item as the URL so it will never match and show you what you selected.
The best thing to do may be to change your select list from a "redirect to URL" to "submit page", make it a normal query:
select QUERY_NAME display_value, QUERY_ID return_value ...
Then create an "On Submit: Before Computation" branch:
Target Type: URL
URL Target: f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P6_QUERIES:&P6_QUERIES.#testing
Condition Type: Request = Expression 1
Expression 1: P6_QUERIES

Items on page not set when called via hyperlink from charts

hello anyone who can help me on this thorny issue,
i have a barchart on one page (page 39), where if you click on the bar chart, page 40 opens and variables are passed on to items on page 40. the variables depend on which bar was clicked. looks somethiing like this:
select 'F?P=102:40:'||:APP_SESSION||'::NO::P40_DATE,P40_JAHR:'||to_char(datum, 'yyyy.mm.dd')||','||to_char(datum, 'yyyy') link,
to_char(datum, 'dd.mm.yyyy') Datum,
Avg_mips
from ... some sql query....
this generally works - BUT, once in awhile, the correct page opens, but the items are NULL!
only when i press F5 to refresh the page, do the variables correctly pass to the items and the proper query is performed...
after some testing, it seems to happen when i click quite fast. quickly get back to the page 39, click a new bar and then i'm back at page 40 again.
if i do this slowly, maybe wait a couple of seconds, it generally works.
for ex., the URL would look something like this:
http://daidalos:7777/pls/apex/F?P=102:40:2118535974571692::NO::P40_DATE,P40_JAHR:2008.12.16,2008
- i know the variables are correct when i look at the URL
- yet the new graph on page 40 shows null values, and a click on the "session" button confirms that the items are null!
- once i press F5, the URL is the exact same, onle the items are now "refreshed" and the proper processing can take place.
so, can anyone tell me what is going on here and how i can avoid this?
the items are set as "hidden" (not protected). there are no computations or default settings to the items, and they are not reset to null at any time.
regards,
mike

Mike:
I suspect that the chart on page 40 is being rendered by an APEX database connection that is not the same one that renders the rest of the stuff on page 40. So, it is possible that the database connection rendering the chart does not see the new values for the page items set in the URL as these may not have been committed to the database yet.
You could try this.
Change the chart query to be
select 'javascript:setStuff("' || to_char(datum, 'yyyy.mm.dd') || '","' ||to_char(datum, 'yyyy') || '")' link,
to_char(datum, 'dd.mm.yyyy') Datum,
Avg_mips
from ... some sql query...Add the JS below into the HRML page header<script>
function setStuff(p_date,p_jahr) {
$x('P40_DATE').value=p_date
$x('P40_JAHR').value=p_jahr
doSubmit('XXXX');
</script>Define an 'After Submit...' branch to page 40. Make the branch conditional on Request = 'XXXX'

List of values population based on session state

Firstly, sorry if this is not too clear or just stupid, im new to this.
What I am trying to do is create a list of values on a page that goes to a lookup table and returns description of the code entered.
so far so good
however the tricky bit is that the codes meen different things when applied to different objects.
Now I have got a variable in the session state for the page that can id the object type as G or H namly P39_DISPLAY
Can you do something like ...
IF :P39_DISPLAY = 'G' THEN
select lookup_code||' - '||meaning d, lookup_code r from ip_lookups
where lookup_type = 'PRC'
and upper(enabled) = 'YES'
and start_date_active <= sysdate
and nvl(end_date_active, sysdate+1) >= sysdate
ELSE
select lookup_code||' - '||meaning d, lookup_code r from ip_lookups
where lookup_type = 'RRC'
and upper(enabled) = 'YES'
and start_date_active <= sysdate
and nvl(end_date_active, sysdate+1) >= sysdate
END IF;
I have tried this but getting ORA errors all over the place
Any ideas?

very true, but it is only my third post ;)
I have a table with
val1 val2 va3 val4
I'm using a select list to populate val4
value 4 is a two digit code
00-->99
the meanings of the codes are dependant on the object type. the object type value code is passed from another page into this page.
As far as the table is concerned the object type is irrelivent because its just looking for a code.
However the users require a description in order to use the right code.
So I'm using the variable to pull back the discription of the code based on object type.
I'm giving your idea a bash, created two LOVs. I will test to see if the condition statements stop database entry, I think it might.

Htmldb_Get() not updating session state?

Thankfully, I solved this problem myself before posting this, but I still have questions about why I ran into the problem in the first place.
Alright, I have a javascript controlled interface on an ApEx page that uses htmldb_Get() for retrieving the current state of a row in the database and for submitting the data back to a page process to update the database row. I've checked my values from the javascript function that saves the data and the strings do contain the updated text from the interface, but when my page process fires off the strings have reverted to what was in the session state from the earlier AJAX request when the interface was loaded.
* I've checked the session state and the variables in question are reverted, but I noticed that the item statuses are listed as "Updated".
* I've also tested this process by passing the request string and page items in the URL and the process functions correctly.
* I've double checked the item definitions to see if the items were being overwritten (they weren't).
* I've checked the item types to make sure that none were "protected" (they weren't).
* I haven't found any error messages in logs within ApEx.
At this point I noticed that the AJAX requests to load the interface were showing up in the "Recent Page Views" report, but the save requests were not. For no particular reason I decided to switch from using the request string in the conditional for the page process and use a page item to control the mode as so...
WAS:
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'save_asset_tracking_info',11);
NOW:
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'',11);
get.add('P11_FORM_MODE','save_asset_tracking_info');
...and magically the page items in the session state are being updated and all is well. There are few things more frustrating than spending hours debugging a process, then fixing it with an action that you are completely convinced won't change a thing.
This make no sense to me and I'm hoping someone can explain it or at least point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Apologies if I skipped a few details in my first post...
I haven't included much of my source code because I don't believe it's the key to this issue. If you disagree, I will post the source code for your reference.
On page 10 of my application, I have a floating div interface that appears in front of the page content. This div is initially empty, but I use JavaScript to make an AJAX call to page 11, strip out a specific region using the get.get() function. On the floating interface, there is a "save" button that fires off another JavaScript function that uses htmldb_Get() and get.add() to post all 21 of the items from the floating interface back to a page process on page 11. The "save" page process is at process point "on load - before header" and is extremely simple -- "if ID found then update record, else insert record".
The problem I had was that after the "save" button was pressed, all of the items sent via AJAX to the page process were always identical to the initial values from when page 11 was rendered and the floating div interface was populated. This seemed like some sort of quirk or issue with the session state cache overwriting the values that were being sent via AJAX. As I said before, I checked the values in JavaScript immediately before the AJAX "save" submission and everything was kosher, but the page process never got those updated values.
I managed to eliminate this "symptom" by simply...
1. Setting the htmldb_Get() request string to null ("")
2. Adding one more get.add() call for P11_FORM_MODE
3. Changing the condition on which the page process was fired from the request string to the page item
All of the other get.add() calls remained the same as did the PL/SQL in the page process.
Thanks,
Jason

Longer mobile page not scaling correctly

I am building a mobile version of a menu in muse and notice that my page scales in the iphone browser to accommodate the extra length:
http://glueks.businesscatalyst.com/phone/lunch-and-dinner.html
Anybody know how I can get the page to automatically fill the width and have users scroll up and down to see the rest?
Thanks!

The problem is not related to the height of your page.
The content on your page is 820 pixels wide. I expect you have one or more empty text frames (or other empty objects) far off the right side of your design and those are causing the mobile browser to scale down so the full width of the content fits.
In Muse Design view go to this page (and the applied master) and do a Select All (after doing Object:Unlock All On Page) and look for items you don't expect that are off the right of your design and delete them or move them onto the page.
