Advance Table Width Formatting

Hi
I have created a shared region having a advance table.
I added the shared region in the page using personalization.
The table width changes as per the data contained in it.
Sometimes, the user has to horizontally scroll on the browser.
I want to data to be displayed in table without the need for horizontal scrolling.
I tried to specify the column width, but it does not work.
Also, the cell No Wrap property is all set to default "False".
is there any way to control the width and cause the data to wrap instead of horizontal scrolling.
Thanks
Gopal

No, you can't handle this.
See this note from dev guide:
No matter what value you specify for the table width, if the width is not large enough to accommodate the table content, the value is overridden at display time to take up the minimum amount of necessary space.

How to display fixed width column in Advanced Table?

Hi,
This is probably a newbie question for OAF. My requirement is quite simple but I couldn't find the answer in either the OAF developer's guide or anywhere else so I turn to the experts here. I have a region of type Table or Advanced table with three items in them. One of the Item is of type comments which could be up to 4000 characters.
I wanted to show all three on the first page but only have fixed width for the comments section like only show the first 50 characters for example and then if they want to see more detail they can click on a link to see full comments.
The problem is I cannot figure out how to make the comments item fixed width. I have played with the table width properties but it keeps displaying the comments in multiple lines (I don't want that...). I have also tried putting the Table in a Row Layout but it doesn't seem to help.
Since this is new development I can change my region style to anything to meet my requirements.
I hope this is an easy question and if someone can help me that would be great....:-)

Hi,
Thanks but I was not wanting to change the VO attribute length size since I want to have a link on the first page which would enable to see a user the full 4000 comments using the same VO object. Then if I limit it to 50 characters in the VO, I will not be able to display the full comments on the second page.
Isn't there some way in the UI that I can limit it? I know one workaround I can use for now is to have another column in the VO with the 50 character value such as substr(comments, 1, 50) and then have the full comments selected also in the VO and then show this subtr value in the first page and the comments value in the 2nd. I just thought there would be an easier way about it then doing all this workaround.
Any ideas?
Thanks

First thing is as Tapash has pointed out, How did you do it which is not working? Second point is that there is straight forward mention of this scenario in Advanced table section of the Dev guide. Have a look.

Adjusting with Width of Advanced table column

Hi,
I have used Advanced table in my results table.
One of the Column Header values is "Max Pressure (PSIG)" and appears as
Max Pressure (
PSIG)
I need to show it show as either "Max Pressure (PSIG)" or
Max Pressure
(PSIG).
I have not used Attrinbute Sets for columns.
I even tried programmetically to put spaces between[b] Max pressure and (PSIG).Didnt work out.
OA Page sets the width of the columns as per screen size
Any other idea to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Gowtam.

Hi Gowtam,
Try to increase the width of ui item under this header. Also try to increase the width of advanced table.

Advanced Table - Query on formatting column

Hi all
I want to achieve some thing like this in my advanced table.
Employee# Name salary
1 ABC $12,000.00
2 XYZ $10,000.00
3 RTY $2,000.00
Salary column in DB
12000 , 10000, 2000
1) I need to display currency symbol ($) prefix to amount with decimal points.
2) user must be able to sort on salary column.
(If i convert salary to string for requirement 1, Sorting will not work on properly)
what is the best way to do this ?
Thanks in advance

Preethi,
I will guess from your reference to using "Advanced Table" that you are talking about OA Framework, in which case, you should be asking on the OA Framework forum.

I've never used dynamically changing popup items variable before, and I'm not sure it will work(?)
But, if it's displaying a long string, it does not sound like 'items' is being assigned a proper table yet.
I don't know what you mean by a "chunk" of values. I assume you mean table.
In any case, if SYPNEventResults[1].title is a string, then SYPNEventResults[1].value can be any legal lua type.
Likewise for SYPNEventResults[2], SYPNEventResults[3], ...
If you can index/display the title with this syntax, e.g. LrDialogs.message( SYPNEventResults[1].title ), then the popup should be initialized thusly:
viewFactory:popup_menu {
       items = SYPNEventResults,
       value = LrView.bind('eventname2'),
       width_in_chars = 40,
if a function is returning multiple values, then to get it into a table "array", do this:
local tableArray = { myTableArrayFunc( myTableArrayParameters ) }
Does this help?

Table width not displaying correctly in IE - Works in Mozilla / Chrome

I am working tirelessly trying to optimize my site for SEO purposes and I have been able to strip out over a hundred lines of extra code while maintaining my sites look. The problem is in doing so I messed something up - well at least Internet Explorer seems to think so. My site renders just fine in Mozilla and Chrome but for whatever reason, the width of the main table for my product pages is showing up a lot wider than it should. I currently have it set to 859 pixels but Explorer is rendering a much larger table. For the life of me, I can not figure out why this is happening. Our sites homepage The BlueDot is located at http://www.thebluedot.net is showing up as it should in Explorer, but if you click on any of the products it goes wider for some reason? I have limited code access in my store front whereas I have complete control over my home page. Again - it shows as it should in Mozilla and Chrome but not Explorer...
If you happen to decide to help and see anything else I can strip down in the code or make more Google friendly - please let me know - I would so much appreciate any help you could provide. I have tried stripping out any extra tables I could with my current experience with CSS, HTML and Div tags but I know I could probably strip out much more unneeded code if my skills were a bit better.
What am I doing wrong in my code that explorer is deciding to make the table width much wider?
Thanks so much in advance.

body {
     background-color:fff;
     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     color: #006;
Add a # to your background color above.
Also align="center" is deprecated code just so you know. It looks like the table is being populated dynamically from a database. Tables will expand to hold the content it's given - just make sure your dynamically created tables use CSS that constrains the width as you desire it. Potentially this is an ASP .NET control issue (it looks like you're using .asp) and you may need to change that (the control) through whatever CSS it uses.
Hope this helps.

Troubles with RH's transformation of FM figure titles' & table captions' formats... Same problem?

Source agent: FM 9.0p250, unstructured
Transformative agent: RH 8.0.2.208
OS: WinXP Pro V. 2002 SP3
CPU: Core2 Quad @ 2.4 GHz
RAM: 3.25 GB
Free Space: 12.6 GB
File Sys.: NTFS
Swap: D & E (system-managed)
Is anyone else experiencing problems with RH not correctly transforming FM figure and table titles? I can get most of my design to work, but I am having a problem with RH not following-through with some of my table title format and figure title format specifications.
I am having problems with RH not correctly applying, or inconsistently applying, figure title and table caption attributes ("Paragraph" settings) that I specify through Project Settings | Import | Edit | Conversion Settings.
For example (in FM Table Designer), I have a table title paragraph design, "TT.Table Title", in which I specify Title > Above Table, and specify a paragraph design (FM style) of Arial, 10pt, regular, bold, 0" indents, alignment left. It works fine direct to print or PDF; the same is true with figure titles.
In RH (through Project Settings | Import > Edit | Conversion Settings [FrameMaker Settings] > Paragraph), I specify that the FM style is to transform through an RH style that I define (through Edit Style button > Styles > Format > Paragraph). I set the alignment, etc., as is required through RH, but when I look at the Design view and/or generate the output (say...Webhelp), RH has not correctly interpreted one or more of my specification's attributes.
For example, in the case of my table titles, in Design view, RH has centered the title (or in RH terms, the ''Caption") above the table. Or sometimes the bold attribute is missing. In Project Manager, if I right-click and select View, the title/caption sometimes appears as specified; however, if I Generate the WebHelp (or HTML Help, or whatever), the bold formatting isn't there.
I thought that maybe RH defaulted figure and table titles to a Caption, as that is what it calls that part in the Design view. But when I set Caption to my specs, it made no difference.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

I may be off at a tangent here as this is a wild guess.
HTML recognises Table Heading and Table Text, RH does not recognise the Table Heading selector. Maybe with your knowledge of FM's table caption and that tidbit of information, you can change something in your FM table to avoid the problem, if indeed there is a link.

Hi,

Now the width is getting set for the cloumn which has values (data) but it is not setting the width for columns which has null value or no data.
Could any of you guide me on how to set the width for every column of a table region.

How to refresh bean value in advanced table from vo/database value in PR.

Hi,
I have requirement in which I have two OAF pages. First is the base page and second is popup page. Base page displays some values in table with messagetextinput. When user clicks button on the base page it is calling popup page. Now user changes value (Messagetextinout) in popup page and submits the popup page (which also closes popup page). Submit request in popup page does some calculation and also changes value of base page VO. But when control goes back to the base page, base page messagetestinput bean does not get changed even though VO is changed by submit request in popup page.
Note: Popup page is closed using java script with following code.
window.opener.submitForm('DefaultFormName'); // Submits base page to refresh the values in base page
window.close(); // Closes popup page

Thanks for the prompt reply.
On base page, in advance table I am having a column called Value, it is either text field or LOV item based on the value of a list item called field type located in same advanced table, if value of the field type is FIELD we are displaying LOV else we are displaying text box. User can enter 4000 characters long value in Value column when field type value is not FIELD. Length of the Value text box in advanced table is limited so we have provided a link so that user can open the modal dialog box with the default value as base page's value column's value.
We have set the destination URI property of the link on base page to open modal dialog box:
javascript:var a = window.open('OA.jsp?page=/cummins/oracle/apps/perc/perc4681/g2config/webui/perc4681ValueModalDialogPG&retainAM=Y&pDetailSeqNo={@G2DetailSeqNo}','a','height=500,width=900,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no'); a.focus();
We have developed a page for modal dialog box, on PR of this page we are calling following method of AM to populate the default value.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
Serializable[] params;
params = new Serializable[] {pageContext.getParameter("pDetailSeqNo")};
OAMessageTextInputBean value = (OAMessageTextInputBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("value");
value.setValue(pageContext,(String)am.invokeMethod("getPopupValue",params));
public String getPopupValue(String pSeqNumber)
Perc4681G2DetailVOImpl vo1 = getPerc4681G2DetailVO1();
Row[] r1 = vo1.getFilteredRows("G2DetailSeqNo",pSeqNumber);
vo1.setCurrentRow(r1[0]);
Perc4681G2DetailVORowImpl row = (Perc4681G2DetailVORowImpl) vo1.getCurrentRow();
return (String)row.getAttribute("Value");
On modal dialog box we have a button (it is not submit button) called done, we have set destination uri property of the button as below:
javascript:opener.submitForm('DefaultFormName',1,{'XXX':'abc','Value':document.getElementById('value').value});window.close();
we are sending the value entered in dialog box as parameter to base page.
We have called below procedure of AM on PR of base page
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
Serializable[] params;
OAPageLayoutBean oapagelayoutbean = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
if (!pageContext.isBackNavigationFired(false))
some code
else
if((("abc").equals(pageContext.getParameter("XXX"))))
String pop_up_attr_value= pageContext.getParameter("Value");
params = new Serializable[] {pop_up_attr_value};
am.invokeMethod("setPopupValue",params);
enableDisable(webBean, pageContext);
else if (!TransactionUnitHelper.isTransactionUnitInProgress(pageContext, "G2DetailCreateTxn", true))
OADialogPage dialogPage = new OADialogPage(STATE_LOSS_ERROR);
pageContext.redirectToDialogPage(dialogPage);
else if (!TransactionUnitHelper.isTransactionUnitInProgress(pageContext, "G2DetailUpdateTxn", true))
OADialogPage dialogPage = new OADialogPage(STATE_LOSS_ERROR);
pageContext.redirectToDialogPage(dialogPage);
public void setPopupValue(String pVal)
Perc4681G2DetailVOImpl vo1 = getPerc4681G2DetailVO1();
Perc4681G2DetailVORowImpl row = (Perc4681G2DetailVORowImpl) vo1.getCurrentRow();
row.setAttribute("Value",pVal);
Everything mentioned above is working as expected whereas I am not able to see the value ented in modal dialog window in value column of base page.
Value is getting set in VO but it is not getting reflected in page.
Could you please let me know where I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Problem in alignment of cell content in Advanced Table

Hi,
I have a column which has some flag say 'Y' or 'N'.
I have created an advanced table and followed the dev guide for aligning the value in the center of the cell.But i m getting null pointer exception when I m using getColumnFormats method of advanced table.
OAAdvancedTableBean resultsTableBean =(OAAdvancedTableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("region2");
System.out.println("index"+pageContext.findChildIndex(resultsTableBean,"column1"));
OAColumnBean manuPartNoCol =(OAColumnBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("column1");
manuPartNoCol.setAttributeValue(ALIGNMENT_GROUP_ATTR,ICON_BUTTON_FORMAT);
resultsTableBean.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
// now get a handle on the array of Column Format Dictionaries
DataObjectList myColumnFormats = resultsTableBean.getColumnFormats();
System.out.println("myColumnFormats.getLength"+myColumnFormats.getLength());
// get a handle on the specific Column Format Dictionary you
// are interested in
oracle.cabo.ui.data.DictionaryData myIconColumnFormat = (oracle.cabo.ui.data.DictionaryData)
myColumnFormats.getItem(pageContext.findChildIndex(resultsTableBean,"column1"));
// set the CELL_NO_WRAP_FORMAT_KEY property to TRUE
myIconColumnFormat.put(COLUMN_DATA_FORMAT_KEY , ICON_BUTTON_FORMAT);
BUt if I use table bean instead of advanced table bean then the same code works.
Basically i have to set the alignment of the cells in the advanced table bean in the runtime.
Can anybody suggest something?
Thanks

Provide the error stack.
