ADDT Dependent Dropdown SB with Spry Repeat Lists

Hi,
I first want to say that this forum is fantastic and full of very bright folks willing to help us not so bright types.
Next, of course, I have a problem. I'm using spry repeat lists as dropdowns in a form. There are 3 that need to be dependent on each other. I had been using the ADDT dependent dropdown SB and it works great for normal selects. It doesn't seem to work at all on spry repeat lists. I was hoping these two would play nicely together, and maybe they do and there's some trick to this.
If the ADDT SB's don't work with Spry repeat lists, maybe there's a way to do this using javascript?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Tony Galfano

Hi Gunter,
Thanks for the help. I've decided, based on your accurate assessment of the work involved in getting all this to work with spry, to ditch that and just refresh the damn page after all new entries are made. I appreciate your help, probably saved me many hours.
I do have a wierd issue with the ADDT editaqble dropdown behavior. I actually use this one a lot and it always works well. I have one dropdown that only showsw the first 2 characters of the contents. A swcreenshot is avaiable here: http://www.zenwebguru.com/editabledropdown.jpg
All of the other editable dropdowns on the page, and the site, work fine, but this one is shruken for some reason. I'm wondering if there is a size limitation in the css or the js that can't handle larger records? The largest field in the table contains the value:
"Flat Guarantee; Purchaser to provide one Fender Amplifier (see rider for list of amps) at no cost to Artist."
This really shouldn't present a problem, but maybe it's something else?
Thanks, as always for your great help.

Spry repeat list break DW insert transaction?

Hi,
Does anyone know if spry repeat lists are recognized by DW as input devices? I added a few to a form, which uses the builtin DW insert record wizard, and they don't show up with the other controls in the server behavior list and they break the transaction (red ! on the insert transaction).
Are there configuration issues? Or are these widgets only for search and display forms?
Thanks for any help,
Tony

Hi Tony,
I´m sure that the SPRY repeat lists you´re creating would need some heavy modification in order to become "regular" ADDT dropdown menus -- what they would need at least, is some embedded string comparison (aka PHP´s "strcmp" function) for displaying an existing column value as "SELECTED", like ADDT´s menus do:
...and I don´t think your Spry lists provide this for each list option.
and they don't show up with the other controls in the server behavior list
it seems as if those lists have one or more required elements missing which DW needs to accept them as valid "control". You can actually check the differences by opening an other ADDT form containing a valid control and taking a look at the HTML/PHP code of that list -- what does it have what your Spry list doesn´t ?

Spry Repeat List does not appear in Google Chrome 28

Spry repeat list works in IE8 and Firefox 22. However in Google Chrome 28 no data appears (data is blank). This is the code:
<div>
              <p><span class="headline">events</span></p>
              <div spry:region="Events">
                <dl spry:repeatchildren="Events">
                  <dt>{date}</dt>

Adding a Counter to Spry Repeat List

Hi, this might seem like a relatively simple problem but after spending some time, I haven't yet arrived at an appropriate solution.
1. I have spry repeat list.
2. I want add a counter (required by a javascript function nested within the repeat list).
I have tried ds2.getCurrentRowID and that failed.
One simple way of thinking of the problem is: how would you modify a spry repeat list to display each row, numbered 1 through n down the left-hand column?
            <tr spry:repeat="ds2" spry:odd="evenRowVenue" spry:even="oddRowVenue" spry:hover="hoverVenue" onClick="MM_callJS('GEvent.trigger(venue_list[INCREMENTING COUNTER HERE],\'click\');')">
              <td align="left"><a href="venue_show.php?vid={@vid}">{@name}</a></td>
              <td align="left">{@street1}</td>
              <td align="left">{@city_suburb}</td>
              <td align="left">{@state}</td>
              <td align="left">{@country}</td>
              <td align="left">{@rating}</td>
            </tr>

              <td align="left">{@rating}</td>
            </tr>
{ds_RowNumber} is what you are looking for.
So in you case:
onClick="MM_callJS('GEvent.trigger(venue_list[{ds_RowNumber}],\'click\');')">

No Form Submitting with SPRY:REPEAT?

After getting more and more spry in my code, I run into a
problem while combining a <tr spry:repeat> with a
<form> generated for each row:
Idea / Code is like this:
<table spry:region="dsSample">
<tr spry:repeat>
<form name="myForm" action="detailPage.php?ID=hiddenID"
method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenID" id="hiddenID"
value="{dsSample::ID}">
<input type="submit" value="Show all infos" >
</form>
<td>{dsSample::ID}</td>
<td>{dsSample::column1}</td>
<td>{dsSample::column2}</td>
</tr>
</table>
The problem is that the submit button doesn't submit! I tried
also with <input type="button" onClick="sendviaJS();")
I would like to use this for a list/detail view.
Ist posting a HTML-Form with a sry:region not allowed /
possible?

Hi Gunter,
Thanks for the help. I've decided, based on your accurate assessment of the work involved in getting all this to work with spry, to ditch that and just refresh the damn page after all new entries are made. I appreciate your help, probably saved me many hours.
I do have a wierd issue with the ADDT editaqble dropdown behavior. I actually use this one a lot and it always works well. I have one dropdown that only showsw the first 2 characters of the contents. A swcreenshot is avaiable here: http://www.zenwebguru.com/editabledropdown.jpg
All of the other editable dropdowns on the page, and the site, work fine, but this one is shruken for some reason. I'm wondering if there is a size limitation in the css or the js that can't handle larger records? The largest field in the table contains the value:
"Flat Guarantee; Purchaser to provide one Fender Amplifier (see rider for list of amps) at no cost to Artist."
This really shouldn't present a problem, but maybe it's something else?
Thanks, as always for your great help.

Help With Spry Repeat Regions

Hello everyone,
I've recently started using Spry for a project I've been
asked to work on and I've run in to a few issues since my spec
changed on me today. So any help or advice anyone has is very much
welcome as I'm very much out my comfort zone at the moment.
Original Spec
The idea originally was to have a drop down of roles which
was created from the role tag within a xml file which I was able to
do as you can see below in the attached code. Once the user had
picked a role it would then
ds2.setCurrentRowNumber(this.selectedIndex) and this would trigger
the spry detail region I have to populate the fields I setup to get
out of the xml the role, process and info.
At the time I was told a role would only appear once in the
file but this is now not the case :(
My problem / New Spec
Unfortunately with the xml now having a role more then once
I've been asked to include a dynamic region which will display the
process and info fields from other records which have this role
name. Which is the bit I'm having problems with. I've been playing
with creating a spry:repeat for each field and then using
Spry:if="'{Role}'.search(^/myVar/) != -1; but I've had no luck
getting a value into a variable and I'm lack of experience is
running out of ideas.
Hope I've made sense this is my first time using spry and
JavaScript, so any help is greatly welcome.
Thanks Nick.
Example of the XML file - Please note this is very much a cut
down version.

tried changing the Region HTML table cell attributes to width:75pct, but this has no effect.Unsurprisingly. Use a valid CSS length specification.

Limiting Items Displayed in Spry Repeat Lists, Tables, Etc.

Is it possible to limit the items shown in Spry repeat
region? For example say I have 20 items in a list and only want to
display the first three items, not the entire list. If so how is
that done?

Hey Oscar,
Glad that works for you.
Kin and I were thinking that {ds_RowNumber} might be better
for that particular looping, but you get the idea.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_set_overview/index.html
That was our first overview doc and it was definitive at the
time. We no longer update it but it's a good intro to Spry.
You can find the built in data references in that doc,
granted almost at the very bottom.
The API doc
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/index.html
is a good start but we still have a lot to add to it. I have
plans for it for sure.
We are doing a big push for 1.6 towards progressive
enhancement, unobtrusive js and things like that.
Expect docs and samples and some cool utilities to come out
this summer and for 1.6.
And we won't charge for it, but we also won't return any
cash-laden envelopes... ;)
Let us know how to improve any part of Spry.
Thanks,
Don

AIR: Problem with Spry Repeat and JavaScript Action

Hi there,
I've tried to convert my Spry Intranet application to AIR but
there are some issues with my "hacky" JavaScript function calls.
AIR does not allow to execute them. How can i solve that problem?
It seems to that AIR Runtime don't like the generated Functions by
Spry:repeat.
code:
<div spry:repeat="banCategory" id="{ban_cat_name}"
class="{ban_cat_name}"> <img src="pic/{ban_cat_icon}.png"
/> {ban_cat_name}, {ban_cat_colorcode}, {ban_cat_icon} <a
href="#" onclick="editCat('{ban_cat_id}')">edit </a>|<a
href="#" onclick="removeCat('{ban_cat_id}')"> remove</a>
</div>
</div>

Which version of Spry are you using?
We made changes in 1.6.1 specifically for AIR compatibility.
Have you seen this?

Problem with Spry:Repeat and Slide Effect on IE6

I run the website for my kids' hockey association and I'm not
a web programmer. I am trying to display events in a Spry region
using spry:repeat. The data is coming from a Google Calendar . I
display the event date and title on the main page. I have the
onclick set to call a javascript function that exposes the details
using the spry slide effect. It works ok except in IE6.
The following creates my dataset from a method call to a
Coldfusion component that returns the XML I need:
<script type="text/javascript">
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org/Events.cfc?method=EventXML",
"events/event",{distinctOnLoad:false});
</script>
The following function slides open the detail:
<script type="text/javascript">
function startBlind(rid) {
var contentdiv = document.getElementById('panel'+ rid
+'Content');
var panel_height = contentdiv.clientHeight;
if (panel_height<100){
var bd = new Spry.Effect.Blind('panel'+ rid +'Content',
{duration: 800, to: '100px', toggle: true});
else {
var bd = new Spry.Effect.Blind('panel'+ rid +'Content',
{duration: 800, to: '0px', toggle: true});
bd.start();
</script>
Within the repeat I have:
<div class="EventPanelLabel"
onclick="startBlind({ds_RowID});">{startDate} —
{title}</div>
I think the XML looks OK but for some reason when the page
loads, IE6 returns:
Exception caught while loading
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org/Events.cfc?method=EventXML:
[object Error]
The page seems to work fine in Safari and Firefox on the Mac
and IE7 as well as Firefox on Windows. Just IE6 seems to be having
the problem. Could you please take a look at
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org
and provide any suggestions you may have?
Also, is there a way to hide the {startDate} - {title} I'm
seeing while the page loads?
Thanks,
Kevin

Kin:
Thanks for your reply. I made the changes you suggested but,
unfortunately, IE6 is still giving me the same error when the page
loads:
Exception caught while loading
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org/Events.cfc?method=EventXML:
[object Error]
Could this be part of the problem an need to be changed as
well? :
<div id="panel{ds_RowID}Content"
Any other ideas? The page is live if you'd care to look...

ADDT Dependant Dropdowns 3 deep...

Hello,
I'm trying to get 3 drop down list's to work together, basically i have 1. Vehicle Type list 2. Make List 3. Model List. My database has a join table (type_make_model) that basically joins every modelID to a makeID to TypeID.
So the flow would be Select Vehicle Type -> populates Make List -> Select a Make -> populates the Model list
Do i need to create 2 separte DB queries? 1 that selects the Makes based on the vehicle type selected and 1 that selects the models based on the Make and Vehicle Type selected???
I can get the Makes List to populate no problem when a Vehicle Type is selected, the problem comes in with the 3rd drop downlist.
Juat wondering is there any example showing how to accomplish this type of scenerio?
Thanks,
Cory

Günter
Well, here was my solution... basically what i ended up doing was have the first DDL (Vehicle Type) post back to the page with a Vehicle_TypeID so that i could filter the other 2 recordsets accordingly.
//1st RS populates Vehicle Type List//
$query_rsGetType = "SELECT * FROM vehicle_type ORDER BY vehicle_typeID ASC";
//2nd populates Vehicle Make list filtered by $_POST[vehicle_typeID]//
$vTypeID = $_POST['vehicle_typeID'];
$query_rsGetMakeModel = "SELECT ms.makeID, ms.make, tmm.vehicle_typeID FROM type_make_model AS tmm INNER JOIN makes AS ms ON tmm.makeID = ms.makeID WHERE vehicle_typeID = '$vTypeID' GROUP BY ms.makeID ORDER BY ms.make";]
//3rd populates Model List similair//
$query_rsGetMakeModel2 = "SELECT md.model, md.modelID, tmm.makeID FROM type_make_model AS tmm INNER JOIN model AS md ON tmm.modelID = md.modelID WHERE vehicle_typeID = '$vTypeID'";
// the 3 select lists you'll notice the first one uses a simple javascript to post the form back to the page//
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function sender(form){
form.submit();
</script>
<select name="vehicle_typeID" id="vehicle_typeID" onChange="sender(searchDB)">
<option value = "">Vehicle Type</option>
<?php do { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_rsGetType['vehicle_typeID']?>" <?php if (!(strcmp($row_rsGetType['vehicle_typeID'], $_POST['vehicle_typeID']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_rsGetType['vehicle_type']?></option><?php
} while ($row_rsGetType = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsGetType));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsGetType);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($rsGetType, 0);
$row_rsGetType = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsGetType);
?>
</select>
<select name="makeID" id="makeID">
<option value = "">Make</option>
<?php do { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_rsGetMakeModel['makeID']?>"><?php echo $row_rsGetMakeModel['make']?></option><?php
} while ($row_rsGetMakeModel = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsGetMakeModel));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsGetMakeModel);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($rsGetMakeModel, 0);
$row_rsGetMakeModel = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsGetMakeModel);
?>
</select>
<select name="modelID" id="modelID" wdg:subtype="DependentDropdown" wdg:type="widget" wdg:recordset="rsGetMakeModel2" wdg:displayfield="model" wdg:valuefield="modelID" wdg:fkey="makeID" wdg:triggerobject="makeID" wdg:selected="Model">
<option value = "">ALL</option>
<option>-----</option>
</select>
I'm sure there is a more elegant way to do this without needing to post to the page the Vehicle_TypeID... but this does what need well enough
Thanks for your time.

Adding an image to .xml for a spry repeating list or data set

How do I code my .xml so that as well as the text the spry displays an image for each entry? Do I need to create a seperate gallery rather than draw from my root images folder?

Filter spry table from repeater list

Using Dreamweaver, I am looking to find out how to link a
spry repeat list (Select Drop-Down) to a Spry table.
I have created a repeat list (Select Drop-Down) using a
distinct filter on a field in my XML data base :
The XML database is:
var ds2 = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("Data/NetballDatafeed190401.xml",
"NetballList/NetballProducts/SubType",{sortOnLoad:"SubType",sortOrderOnLoad:"as
cending",distinctOnLoad:true});
The drop down list is created by
<div spry:region="ds2">
<select name="select" spry:repeatchildren="ds2">
<option value="{SubType}">{SubType}</option>
</select>
</div>
I have a table which I want to show only the values on the
table where the subType that matches the value from the select
list.
This data is populated by:
var ds1 = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("Data/NetballDatafeed190401.xml",
"NetballList/NetballProducts",{sortOnLoad:"ProductPrice",sortOr
derOnLoad:"ascending"});
and is created by
div spry:region="ds1">
<table>
<tr>
<th>ProductName</th>
<th>ProductPrice</th>
<th>ImageURL</th>
<th>SubType</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="ds1">
<td>{ProductName}</td>
<td>{ProductPrice}</td>
<td><img src="{ImageURL}"/></td>
<td>{SubType}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
I believe that I need to create a spry:Choose statement in
the drop down list which runs a function that filters the DS1 XML
data.
I beleive that The function need to look like
var myFilterFunc = function(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
some funtion here that filters ds1 on {SubType}.......
I will then need to run ds1.filter(myFilterFunc);
Any pointers or examples most welcome.

to do the the spry:if="'statement" needs to be in the
<tr> rows you want to filter on

How to Display Repeat List In Spry Tab Content

Hello,
I am new to Spry. I thought I could just create an XML
dataset, Insert a Spry Tabbed Panel, and then insert a Spry repeat
list inside the Tabbed Content area of the Tabbed Panel. It is not
working at all for me. Is this doable at all? If so, how?
Thanks!

How to implement two dependent dropdown lists in an input table row?

Hi all,
I am new in Jdev 11g. I try to develop an input table with two dependent dropdown list. I can create independent dropdown list in such table. When I try to implement dependent one following some examples do it in a form using bind variable in the view object I get an empty listbox. How can I do this? Is it possible. I cannot find any documents about this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
it hasn't changed between 10.1.3 and 11. The basic outline of how you do it is
- use a managed bean to query the data
- populate the list with f:selectItems that point to the managed bean ArrayList<SelectItem> for the master and the detail
- obtain the master ID in the managed bean by parsing the #{row} variable when the table renders
- then bulild the detail list
- have the detail list referencing the ArrayList<SelectItem> you expose for the details
Note that without proper caching, the action is quite expensive

Dependency DropDown List for Multiple Rows in Offline Interactive Form

Hi I have 2 drop down lists.. in one dropdown list I have "Billable" and "Non Billable" , in second Dropdown list we will have Binding values with "Billable".... when we select "Billable" I need to get the data in Second Dropdown list from Database, and when we Select "Non Billable" then Dropdownlist should become a Inputfield (i.e Dropdown should turn to textfield)...and this should happen for each and every row....based on Index value....help me on this.....

Hi,
You can create one input text field and make it visible when a user choses non billable option in dropdown 1, using -
<this>.presence = "visible";
when billable is chosen from dropdown 1, I can think of two ways.
- Since you have binding 'billable' options with second dropdown, make it visible when billabile option is chosen.
- you can also populate the second dropdown using javascript (something like dependent dropdowns) when billable option is chosen.
if ( this.rawValue == 'billable' )
     seconddropdown = xfa.resolveNodes("xfa.record.ITAB.DATA[ *]");
     for ( var k = 0; k < seconddropdown.length ; k++)
      <your path>.addItem(seconddropdown.item(j).fieldname.value,seconddropdown.item(j).fieldname.value );   (to populate second dropdown)
