Adding a dummy row in the tabular form

Hi
'm an ApEX newbie.
I'm in need to add a dummy row in between a tabular form to make it more appealing at the user end.
A representation of my Tabular Form having 3 columns (i.e Sr No & Skill is of display only format and Remarks column is of text area) is depicted below:

Link column from an interactive report to insert a row in a tabular form

Hi, I need your help, i'm new on APEX and i really need to make a "link column" from an "interactive report" to insert a row into a "tabular form".
I mean that when you click the "link column" instantly create a new row in the Tabular form with the information of the linked row on the interactive report. Its something like that.
I really appreciate your help.
Ricardo Capuz

Hi Ricardo,
You can use the following code as per your requirement (this is just an example),
(In this case IR report is in Page#1 and Tabular form is in Page#2),
On Page#1, Create a hidden item (i.e 'P1_ID')
IR Report query as like the below,
select empno,
ename,
job,
mgr,
hiredate,
sal,
comm,
deptno,
empno "copy"
from empUse the below JS code in Page HTML Header section,
function f_insert_row(pSub)
$s('P1_ID',pSub);
doSubmit('ADD');
Edit Report Attribute -> copy column -> Under Column Link
Link Text: Select your column name (i.e. #EMPNO#)
Target: URL
URL: javascript:f_insert_row(#EMPNO#);
Then create a process to insert like below,
BEGIN
insert into emp_test (select * from emp where empno=:P1_ID);
END;Process condition as * Request=Expression1* in Expression1 as 'ADD'.
At last, create a branch to Page#2, Check 'include process success message' and with the same condition as * Request=Expression1* in Expression1 as 'ADD'.
Thanks,

Adding a button to each row of a tabular form

Hi,
I'm new to APEX. I've searched the forums high and low for a couple days, but no go on a solution to my problem. Perhaps I'm not phrasing my search right.
I have a tabular form. The columns in each row save to a table called STORE. At the end of each row, I'd like to have a button/hyperlink that takes you to another page wherein, for that store, you can check/uncheck the items they carry. So, here's the main tabular form:
The Hardware Shop -- Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5 Link
Bob's Nuts and Bolts -- Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5 Link
Suppose you click on the link for The HW Shop. Now you're in a screen where you have a list of 20 items (coming from another table). From that list, you can check/uncheck the items carried by that store, save changes, and return to the tabular form. Checking/unchecking would insert/delete records from a junction table (using a trigger I guess).
Back in the tabular form, you should still be able to save data at that level (i.e. the col1, col2, etc., above). I have this latter part working, and I know how to write triggers, it's just the button link concept that I can't understand.
I'd be much obliged if somebody could point me to some sort of reference/example.
Thanks,
Max

Hi again,
I'd like to add some functionality to this, and would appreciate any input. I can't post this app for security reasons, and it would require a lot of reworking to 'genericize' it, so I'll just devote that same energy to being as detailed as possible in my explanation of the issue.
Part of my app has 2 pages that interact with each other. Page 1 is a tabular form, and at the end of each row there is a link column, which I created with Arie's help. This link opens up page 2, which is also a tabular form.
Clicking 'Save' in page 2 should launch a javascript function to do some calculation, and then this calculation should be sent back to page 1, and stored in a text field located on the same row as the link column that was clicked in page 1.
There's a lot of different ideas floating in the forums regarding javascript calls via buttons, and I'm currently researching that. More important to me is understanding what row number was clicked on page 1 (i.e. f01, f02, etc.).
I think this posting is similar to what I'm trying to do: Re: Trying to attach onclick event to a pagination link But, the replies went a bit over my head. I managed to create a row selector, which added a checkbox column to my form. But the downside to that is I don't want to force the user to click a checkbox to activate a row, and then do the additional step of clicking the link column.
Thanks,
max

How can i add rows in a tabular form

Hi,
How can i add rows in a tabular form with out updating in database and after adding the rows one by one and after filling the data then iwant to submit them all at once.Please help me on this.
Thanks

Hello Leandro,
In the Add_Rows page process, there is a box for "Number Of Rows". Change that value and you change the number of rows that get added. The default is 1.

How to add a dummy row in the result set of a SELECT statement.

Hello Everyone -
I have requirment to add a dummy row in the result set of a SELECT statement.
For e.g. lets say there is a table Payment having following colums:
Payment_id number
status varchar2(10)
amount number
payment_date date
so here is the data :-
Payment_id Status Amount payment_date
1 Applied 100 12/07/2008
2 Reversed 200 01/ 06/2009
3 Applied 300 01/ 07/2009
Here is my SQL
Select * form payment where payment_date >= 01/01/2009
Output will be
2 Reversed 200 01/ 06/2009
3 Applied 300 01/ 07/2009
My desired output is below
2 Reversed 200 01/ 06/2009
3 Applied 300 01/ 07/2009
2 Reversed -200 01/ 06/2009 ------(Dummy Row)
Thrid row here is the dummy row which I want to add when status is "Reversed"
I would be very thankful for any kind of help in this regard ...
Thanks,
Gaurav

Cartesion joining against a dummy table is a useful method of creating a dummy row:

                select 1 cust_id, 2 Payment_id, 'Reversed' Status, 200 Amount, to_date('01/06/2009', 'mm/dd/yyyy') payment_date from dual union all
                select 1 cust_id, 3 Payment_id, 'Applied' Status, 300 Amount, to_date('01/06/2009', 'mm/dd/yyyy') payment_date from dual union all
                select 2 cust_id, 1 Payment_id, 'Applied' Status, 100 Amount, to_date('12/07/2008', 'mm/dd/yyyy') payment_date from dual union all
                select 2 cust_id, 2 Payment_id, 'Reversed' Status, 200 Amount, to_date('01/05/2009', 'mm/dd/yyyy') payment_date from dual union all
                select 2 cust_id, 3 Payment_id, 'Applied' Status, 300 Amount, to_date('01/06/2009', 'mm/dd/yyyy') payment_date from dual union all
                select 2 cust_id, 4 Payment_id, 'Reversed' Status, -400 Amount, to_date('01/06/2009', 'mm/dd/yyyy') payment_date from dual union all
                select 2 cust_id, 5 Payment_id, 'Applied' Status, 500 Amount, to_date('01/07/2009', 'mm/dd/yyyy') payment_date from dual),

                select 'Reversed' col1, 2 rn from dual)

NB. You may have to mess around with the ordering if that's not come back in the order you wanted. You didn't mention what the rules were for any expected ordering though, so I've made up my own *{;-)
Also, I added an identifier (cust_id) to differentiate between different sets of payments, since that's usually the case. Remove that if it's not applicable for your case.

Help needed in row selection in Tabular form across pages

Hi,
I have a tabular form report similar to http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:95. I want to select some rows from first page and then use the pagination to get to the next page, select some more rows and hit the submit button for processing. The rows selected in the last page alone are picked up for processing, and the ones selected in the earlier pages are lost. I see the same behaviour in Denes' example as well. I picked a row in the first page and a row in the next page, and then click "Pick Records", i see only the record i picked on the second page.
I did play around with "partial page refresh" setting for the tabular form region, but that does not help.
Is there a way to select across pages in a tabular form?
thanks,
Rams
Edited by: rams1234 on Jan 22, 2009 10:19 AM

Okay. I could make this work, but this seems to be a roundabout way for me. In my case I dont have any database related query to get the values, hence the Application level process may not be needed.
When I select the checkbox, i get the value. I am hoping that I should be able to send the value to a javascript function and update the filed value in the function itself. Please see the function below..
function setFileID(pThis) {
var chkvals=pThis.value;
var fldValue = new $x('f_FILELIST').value ;
if (fldValue != 0)
{ $x('f_FILELIST').value= fldValue+'-'+chkvals;}
else
{ $x('f_FILELIST').value = chkvals ;}
This function works fine in making up the list. The issue is, when an already selected row is unselected, the value of the checkbox gets added one more time :) If I detect the checkbox status and subtract the corresponding value, this will be perfect..
Thanks for the link anyway. I am marking this question answered.
regards,
Rams.

Can't add row to sorted tabular form

I have a very basic tabular form created using the wizard. The only significant change I made was to the sort order. When I click on the add row button, the new blank row is created at the top of the table. When the number of rows in the table grew beyond the page size (10), the blank row seems to be created at the top, but the form goes to the last page of data so the blank row is never displayed.
If I remove the ordering then the blank row is added at the bottom and the automatic navigation to the last page shows the blank row.
How can I modify this behaviour - either add the blank row at the end, or display the first page when adding rows.
Table Structure
dt_id (populated by trigger)
dt_date
dt_meal_type varchar2
dt_food varchar2
Sort order is (dt_date desc, dt_meal_type)
Apex 2.1.0.00.39 on XE

Vikas,
I've had a look at your javascript idea. It took a little bit of figuring out but I think I understand it. I had to modify it a bit so that it cleared the values (I'm not trying to clone anything - I just want a blank record).
After spending a whole morning on this I still have 2 fairly serious outstanding issues:
a) When I enter some values into my new blank record and hit Submit nothing seems to be saved and the record just seems to get lost (I suspect I have cleared out some important hidden fields or something)
b) It doesn't work if the table is blank and I am trying to enter the very first record.
I'm sure it's possible to fix these issues but I am no javascript expert and I have come to the conclusion that it just isn't worth investing any more time.
The benefit of Application Express to me is that it is a simple declarative development environment. There are many things I need to be concerned about and javascript just isn't one of them.
Whilst I wait for the tabular forms functionality to mature, I think I will go back to the good old report + Edit button style.
Thanks,
Alastair
PS. Here is the script I added to the region header (I removed everything I didn't understand and added it back in as and when I needed it):
<script>
function addRow()
var col = html_GetElement('NAME'); // NAME is just an arbitrary column in my table
var tab = html_CascadeUpTill(col,'TABLE');
var row1 = tab.rows[1];
var clone = row1.cloneNode(true);
var elements = clone.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var j=0;j<elements.length;j++) elements[j].value="";
myNewRow = tab.insertRow(tab.rows.length);
myNewClone = myNewRow.replaceNode(clone);
</script>

Add rows to a tabular form (v1.6)

I have 2 tabular forms on a single page (It started as a master and detail with detail). The second add button which is adding empty rows at the end of the report region keeps adding the empty rows to the first tabular report.
I don't see a setting that will allow me to adjust this behavior.
Is having 2 tabular regions on a single page not supported?

Hi Helen
>
I am using APEX 4.1.1 on 11gXE and Windows Vista.
I have created a tabular form on a page. When the page loads I want the addrow() to be called x number of times where x is the value returned from a select list(1 through to 10) off another page. So if the value 3 is selected addRow() is called 3 times. This is similar to Denes Kubicek's example but I'm looking at using a dynamic action instead. Here's the link to Denes's
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:209
I've created a dynamic action that fires when the page loads and executes the following code:
var i=0,z=$v('P1_NO_ITEMS');
>
JavaScript works only on elements in the HTML DOM. Once you have navigated away from Page 1 the P1_NO_ITEMS cannot be accessed in JavaScript.
>
while (i<z)
addRow();
i++;
When I set P1_NO_ITEMS to 3 and go to the tabular form page it loads but doesn't add 3 blank rows to the form. I've tried hard coding a value into the javascript and that works fine. eg
var i=0,z=3;
When I add an alert into the code the value of P1_NO_ITEMS seems to be undefined and I get a blank for its value. If I check session state P1_NO_ITEMS has a value of 3.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong? I have a feeling it's something simple...>
Change z=$v('P1_NO_ITEMS'); to z='&P1_NO_ITEMS.';Cheers,

Add row button on tabular form works from time to time

Hi!
we have two environments (dev & prod) with 10gR2 and APEX 3.2.1.00.12 (installed from one and only setup file)
we have developed application on dev and moved it to prod,
and on prod it was discovered that - from time to time (not always) -
when you press 'add row' button on tabular form,
tabular form does not display new record on the page,
if number of records exceeds number of records allowed to show
(i.e. with 10 records maximum it works fine when you add records from 1 to 10 and can't add record 11)
but - interestingly - increases number of rows in pagination by 1
(e.g. "rows 10-20 of 35" changes to "rows 10-20 of 36").
on dev this tabular form works correctly.
what is it and how to heal it?..
I recall I had same issue in prior releases (3.0 - 3.1), is it known issue?

It seems to be true:
- if there is ascending order on columns which fields are null in new line (have no default value), new row is visible in current "pagination" page
- but if there is DEScending order OR ANY sort order is set on columns which fields are NOT null in new line (have default value), new row is NOT visible in current "pagination" page
thank you!

Row selector in tabular form question

hi all,
i needed to use the tabular form for the report because i needed the row selector. i have around a 100 records on this. but each page shows only 15 rows which is fine. the problem i'm having is that if i wanted to select more than 1 record and these records are located on different pages of the report, how do i set the report to remember all the records i've selected?
i noticed that for example, page 1 shows records 1 - 15 then i checked record 1, then move to the next page for records 16 - 30. here i select record 20. then when i do a transaction, only record 30 is processed and record 1 is disregarded.
can anyone help me with this?
thanks
allen

Hi,
You should perhaps use collections. Collections are session based and can be used in a similar way as having a temp table and what you could do is store your data within the collection and then save the "selections" you made to the collection which would make your tabular form remember what you have seelected and therefore you could retrieve 1- 10 rows and then paginate to the next 10 rows.

How to assign a URL in the Tabular Form

Hi,
I am using the htmldb.item api's to create manually,the Tabular form. I have got a column in the database(View) like
''||substr(DESCRIPTION,1,30)||decode(substr(DESCRIPTION,30,1),null,null,'...')||'' DESCRIPTION,
which displays as a URL and when the user clicks this URL, the page will have a popup page(in this case it is redirected to page 52).
My probelm is , if I use wwv_flow_item.display_and_save for this column, I dont see the URL, but it displays the above entire string (along with the HTML tags).
If I do not use wwv_flow_item.display_and_save, I can not use this item in the COllections as I am using the some validations to display an Error message (Inline with field and in Notification)
I cannot display the Validation error in the - On Error Page as I should prevent the user to use the browser buttons
Please let me know how to display the URL and to have this information in the Collection
TIA
Ravi

Ravi,
Can you fetch the column twice, once into a non-escaped display type that does not generate a form item and again into a hidden item for your collection?
