AJAX Select Lists on Updateable Reports

All,
I have followed the examples from Karl and Sergio's blog on how to use AJAX to contol dependent LOV lists in a form. My question is, can this be done in an updateable report? I'm having difficulty in determining how to reference the column names of the dependant lists.
What I basically have is a time app. User selects his project from a picklist and then his associated tasks for that project will appear in the task list. I have used the updatable report option to build this rather then a form, because I liked the prebuilt add row and processing functionality.
Anyway if anyone knows how to use AJAX dependant select lists in an updateable report it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

Select list within interactive report.

Hello y'all,
I have a need to develop an interactive report and am lost in how to proceed. I am asking for your help. The report requirements are as such:
- There are 3 types of records that will be in the report
- The is a checkbox to associate the records to a particular event.
- If the record is of a certain value, 3 of the columns in that record have to show as select lists.
- The records with the other 2 values should not have the select lists, just show a null in those columns.
- The checkbox must be checked for the select lists to appear.
- The select lists are based on a list of values. The values are populated with an existing common function used in many of the application pages.
I am having no success in trying to get the select lists in the report. Has anyone developed an interactive report that uses select lists within the report? Is this even possible?
I am using application Express 3.2.0.00.27. Any help that you can give is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
*** Got it. It has to be a tabular report with updateable columns. ***

Hi,
I am not sure if the "equal to" condition applies to a DOM object... after all, a DOM object can be anything (any HTML element) not only a field.
Try using a javascript expression instead, like this:
$v('P6_IR_SELECT_LIST')=='Delete'UPDATE: Sorry, I just tested and "equal to" condition works for DOM objects... should have tested before posting!

Is it possible to change values in pagination select list for a report?

The values showing up in my pagination select list for a report are 10,15,20,30,50,100,200,500,1000,5000.
Is it possible to not have this list show the 1000 and 5000 values? I've tried setting various row values in the layout and pagination section of the report, but nothing changes in the select list. Is there a way to change this, or is it set up in a template somewhere that I can change?
APEX version 3.0
Thanks

Figured this one out. Using the P1_ROWS item, added a static LOV with the correct values to override the one APEX was providing. The P1_ROWS item goes in the Number of Rows (Item) field in the layout and pagination section of the report.

How to set "Display as Text" field with AJAX select list

thanks Denes for your posting. I'm trying to use the Denes Kubicek code to populate a "Display as Text" field. It works for Text Field (disabled), but not "Display as Text" field(saves state) . In my applciation I need to show this field only (not the disabled text box) when a select list value is changed. any ideas to modify the code below are appreciated.
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:80:3418128396960418::NO
here is the code from the url above
1. Create an Application Process - getDet:
DECLARE
my_det VARCHAR2 (200);
BEGIN
SELECT ename || CHR(10) || job || CHR(10) || mgr
INTO my_det
FROM emp
WHERE empno = :P80_EMPLOYEES;
HTP.prn (my_det);
END;
2. Put the following in the Region Header of your page:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_getDet ()
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getDet',0);
get.add('P80_EMPLOYEES',html_GetElement('P80_EMPLOYEES').value)
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn)
{ html_GetElement('P80_DETAILS').value = gReturn }
else
{ html_GetElement('P80_DETAILS').value = 'null' }
get = null;
</script>
3. Put the following in the HTML Form Element Attributes of :P80_EMPLOYEES:
onChange="f_getDet()";

Arie,
this works fine on normal page, except page zero. I have the AJAX select list and "Display as Text" field on page zero. The "Display as Text" field doesn't show the the value when AJAX select is changed. I'm using similar code as used in my other APEX page on OTN site. I tired to display the gReturn value, just before calling "setDisplayOnlyNode" function in the code below and it's showing correct value, but fails to display the value in the APEX field on page zero. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Surya
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setDisplayOnlyNode(pItem, pValue)
{ var textNode = pItem + '_DISPLAY'; $x(textNode).innerText = pValue; }
function f_getDet ()
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getDet',0);
get.add('P1_EMPLOYEES',html_GetElement('P1_EMPLOYEES').value)
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn)
{ setDisplayOnlyNode('P1_DETAILS',gReturn)}
{ html_GetElement('P1_TEST').value = gReturn }
get = null;
</script>

Hi,
I use these instructions to create an AJAX lov, hope they help
1 - Under shared components create an item called TEMPORARY_ITEM
2 - Under shared components create an application process
declare
l_counter number;
l_o_name varchar2(2000);
begin
owa_util.mime_header('text/xml', FALSE );
htp.p('Cache-Control: no-cache');
htp.p('Pragma: no-cache');
owa_util.http_header_close;
htp.prn('<select>');
for rec in (select VALUE_HEADER_ID as "VALUE_HEADER_ID",
LOV_VALUE as "LOV_VALUE",
LOV_VALUE_ID as "LOV_VALUE_ID"
from TST_LOV_VALUES Where VALUE_HEADER_ID = :TEMPORARY_ITEM )
loop
htp.prn('<option value="' || rec.LOV_VALUE_ID || '">' || rec.LOV_VALUE || '</option>');
end loop;
htp.prn('</select>');
end;
Change the select in bold to match the sub LOV
3 - Add the following javascript to the html header of the page
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
4 - Create the first LOV abd in the HTML Form Element Attributes add the following text
onblur="get_AJAX_SELECT_XML(this,'P2_CHILD','APPLICATION_PROCESS=CHILD_Select_XML',false)"'
5 - Create the sub lov
Ensure the List of values definition relates to the main lov in the where clause e.g.
select LOV_VALUE d, LOV_VALUE_ID r
from TST_LOV_VALUES
where VALUE_HEADER_ID = :P2_HEADER

Ajax select list with an updateable report

Hi,
I have an updateable report where the first 3 columns are all select lists and where the values in each of the select lists are dependent on the value selected in the previous select list.
I've been able to implement this for the first 2 columns using ajax ie. the values in the select list for the second column are based on what value has been selected in the first column, but I have not been able to apply the same logic to the list of values for the 3rd column, which should be based on what has been selected in the second column.
Also, when the value of the first column is changed, it should be blanking out the values of the 3rd column, until the new second column value has been selected, based on the change to the value of the first column.
Any assistance/advice would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Marquita

How did you do that for the fisrt 2 columns, I could only do it in a form not in a report, appreciate your help

Slight AJAX select list issue, hopefully....

I have probably looked at every example that uses AJAX to populate select lists that is out there and finally got one almost completely working.
In my app I use a Form on page 23 to create a record and then also use a form on page 22 to update a record. On both of these pages i have 2 select lists that use AJAX to populate each other. On my Create Form page, these two select lists display properly and submit properly to a report page.
Now, when i click on that record that i just created from the report page, i am taken to the update page(page 22) where all items that i just submitted are properly displayed except the second select list. The second select list does display the correct list of items within the select list, just not the one that i had just selected. What is being displayed is the very first option in the select list, no matter what i had selected when i created the record. What in my code would always make the first option display no matter what?
Thanks
Deanna

Hello Deanna,
Is the "select cause, cause" statement a typo?
for rec in (select cause , cause
from cause where categ = :WORK)
loop
htp.prn('<option value="' || rec.cause_number || '">' || rec.cause || '</option>');
end loop;
htp.prn('</select>');
end;If not, the list you're seeing could possibly be the result of the LOV defined for P22_CAUSES, assuming there is one.

Help with Select Lists in Classic Report

Hello,
I working with APEX 4.1. Oracle 11.
I have a simple classic report with 4 columns (Username, Role, Read, Update). The Read and Update columns are Select Lists with values of "Yes", "No".
Report looks like this:
Username Role Read Update
JSmith Admin Yes Yes
LJones Dev Yes No
My requirement, is that when a user selects Yes from the Update select list, the value of the associated Read column needs to change to Yes as well for that particular Username. The change has to occur upon selection of Yes from the Update select list.
Im not very strong with javascript, but for testing purposes I applied: onchange="alert('hi');" on the Update column. When I make a change to the Update select list, the alert does pop up.
Can anyone suggest how I can implement the change to the associated Read value of Yes if the Update value chosen is Yes, for that particular row.
Thank you,
Laura

The complexity in this case is that you're using items in a report rather than standard page items.

Conditional Select List in a Report maintained using a Multi Row Update

I have a SQL Report that is maintained with a "Multi Row Update" process. One of the columns needs to be ether a "Select List" based on a named LOV or just "Text" (Read Only) based on the value in the column. I have the UI working using a case statement and apex_items in me SQL but the Report Column is not marked "Edit" and the "Multi Row Update" process just ignores changes.
Any help would be great!

Just curious, why is the first parameter to in third TEXT_FROM_ITEM invocation NULL instead of 20? Also check your first parameter in your ELSE. Shouldn't it be a global number as well?
Did you try adding a hidden item to your SELECT statement? Something like:
(case
when CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID = KT_UTIL_PKG.get_kttr_uid_from_ref_val('SESSION_BILL_STAT','SESSION_BILL_STAT_1') then
apex_item.select_list_from_lov(20,CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID,'KTTR_SESSION_BILL_STAT_PRPR','','NO')
when CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID = KT_UTIL_PKG.get_kttr_uid_from_ref_val('SESSION_BILL_STAT','SESSION_BILL_STAT_2') then
apex_item.select_list_from_lov(20,CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID,'KTTR_SESSION_BILL_STAT_PRPR','','NO')
when CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID is null then
apex_item.text_from_lov(20,'KTTR_SESSION_BILL_STAT')
else
apex_item.text_from_lov(20,CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID,'KTTR_SESSION_BILL_STAT')
end) as KTTR_BILL_STAT_DISP,
apex_item.hidden(30,CSSN.KTTR_BILL_STAT_UID) MIRRORThen in either an Javascript onBlur event on KTTR_BILL_STAT_DISP or in a Page Process assign the value of KTTR_BILL_STAT_DISP to MIRROR.

Multiple selection lists in abap report

I need to populate a multiple selection list and then read the selection in an ABAP report. A parameter with list box is not solving my purpose.
Please give any suggestion on this.

Hi
If you can't use the SELECT-OPTION statament, there's no standard solution.
U can only try to create a table control with only one colunm and every hit of the table control is a single hit for the selection.
To insert a table control in a selection-screen u need to use the statament:
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF TABBED (see the help)
In order to create a TAB where u can load a subscreen where u can insert a table control.
The u need to transfer the hit from table control to a range.

Select list within a report

Hi All
I need help creating a report with the first column as a select list and the other columns (4 of them) will auto populate based on the selected item. This is a report region on form that will update a table when submitted.
My Table: Cost Center
Cost Center Id - PK
Cost Center
Variable
Object Code
Department Accumaltor
Year
The user would select a cost center from a dropdown within the report and the other values would be filled in.
So far I have created the select list and created a tabular form.
I'm sure if I need to even use this type of report because the user will be able to add a new record if necessary.
I think I need a process to retrieve the rest of the info from the table once the user made a selection. But where would I put that?
I've read many posts that are similiar but I need some guidance.
Thank You
Moe

Select List beside Interactive report

Hi All,
I am not able to place a SELECT LIST item beside an Interactive Report.
What is happening:
<selecting columns to search> Go Action SELECT LIST*
I n t e r a c t i v e R e p o r t
Even though I am able to place a button beside the Interactive Report using the Button Position attribute for the button.
<selecting columns to search> Go Action Button
I n t e r a c t i v e R e p o r t
Sadly there is no such attribute for a SELECT LIST.
What I want:
|<selecting columns to search> Go Action SELECT LIST
I n t e r a c t i v e R e p o r t
I tried using the Grid Layout Attributes but to no avail.
Thanks,
Sombit

Hi,
I do not know is that possible without styles or JavaScript.
You can try this.
Place to page JavaScript Execute when Page Loads
$("#apexir_TOOLBAR").append($("#Px_YOUR_SELECT_LIST"));Change Px_YOUR_SELECT_LIST to your select list name

Add a Select List to a Report, for Updating a table.

I am working on Apex 3.0. I had to allow the Report could update a table. I added two checkbox to the report, and now I should add a Select List. I've tried a lot of ways but I don't know how can I pass the value selected, related to the ID of the row. I've tried with a JavaScript but I couldn't. A process should update the row on the DB when the user change the value on the select list. There is a save button that perform the process. How I could pass the ID of the row and the value to a PL/SQL process?
Many Thanks for your suggestions.

Multiple Select Lists on Tabular Report

I am trying to build a tabular report to allow users to edit records within a table. This tabular report has several non-editable columns on it as well as two select list boxes. Theh user would select a value from the first list box. That value would then become part of the where clause of the next select list box. However I have not been able to pass the new value to second list box.
My application deals with metadata, so here's how the screen looks: (Field names in {} are select lists)
Select File to Edit: {this list works fine}
[Field Name] [Derived] {Parent file} {*Parent Field*}
The Parent Field drop down is never getting populated. Parent file dropdown works fine.
I don't think the problem is with my select statement. I think the variable I am using in my select statement is never having it's value set.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hope this makes sense.
Don

there's currently no easy way to handle your request in html db. it might be doable using a few hacks here and there, but it's almost not worth getting into because of the complexity of the approach. my recommendations are that you...
a) consider setting your form up as a single-row update rather than a multi-row one. with a single-row form, it's a much simpler matter to have your {Parent Field} lov be driven by your {Parent File} one.
b) if the values in your Parent File lov aren't too great in number, you might consider handling this with javascript added to your tabular form page. i don't know that exact javascript, but you should be able to find it pretty easily on the web.
hope this helps,

AJAX Select list implementation

Hi,
I'm trying to implement the AJAX Code Generator from Scott ( http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33867:2 ) using dept no select list and dept name text field. When I change the Dept# selection from the options, all I get is a huge chunk of html code in my dept name text field and it doesn't contain the result.
Can any one help me out with what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
- Richard

Carl,
Thanks for helping me out.
Important thing I missed to mention in my original post.... I'm using HTMLDB ver 1.6 copied the js files needed, from htmldb.oracle.com
Here is the url for the page I created in htmldb.oracle.com. But, when I recreated it, the onchange gets me "null" in department name field instead of huge chunk of HTML code.
