Apex 4 - Javascript Code Editor??

Hi,
On the Apex 4 new features page , under additional new features (link below), one of the new features says "New Javascript code editor for use in the SQL and migration workshops".
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/4.0_new_features.html
Can anybody tell me how you access this as I cant find it?
Thanks.

Hi,
I think the way this feature is worded is possibly misleading you.
Are you expecting a code editor in which you can edit your JavaScript code? Because if that is the case (which I think is a fair expectation given the current wording), then I'm afraid this is not what this feature is about. This actually relates to a new PL/SQL code editor available in these modules, which now includes syntax highlighting for your PL/SQL blocks. The word 'JavaScript' in the current description relates to the technology behind the editor, rather than the purpose of the editor, but that is misleading.
I think it should be reworded to, 'New richer PL/SQL code editor available in SQL and Migration Workshops, including syntax highlighting' or similar. I will contact the relevant person in the team and get this updated.
Apologies for the confusion.
Regards,
Anthony.

Best strategy for creating a Code Editor (w/ syntax highlighting) in flash

I'm looking into creating a javascript code editor in flash. I would light to include syntax highlighting and am eliciting suggestings on how best to approach it.
Here are my thoughts so far:
I don't see anything pre-built, so I'll have to do it myself, am I wrong here?
I have seen as3syntaxhighlihgt which will take code and turn it into a highlighted HTML file, but not sure whether or not I could find a way to combine that with a text editor that could support html???
Thanks for any input that can help guide me.
David

After more research I've answered this one myself. For anyone else comming across this thread here is what I found:
as3syntaxhighlight is a good option for code highlighting in flash, see the demo at:
http://anirudhs.chaosnet.org/blog/2009.01.12.html
It embeds very easily and quickly.
Other options exist for editors built in JS that could potentially be ported:

Using !-- javascript code -- in an XSL file?

Hello folks,
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have an XML file and an XSL file.
I pass theese to the Oracle's XSL/XML
processor and get an HTML file which
contains a javascript code and CSS code
in the comment tag
.
OK, but when I use the &;lt; it gets
converted into &;#60; thus preventing
the javascript and css (in the resulting
html file) to work?! It is viewed properly
but when I open the page source the
corresponding character is not < but
&;#60;
My question: Is there any workaround to this
problem? Do I always have to use the &;lt; for < char.? Some other chars also
get converted (as single quot. - &#39 .
Is there any other way to do this? Could you
send me some example xsl file demonstrating
a solution to this problem? Thank you so much
in advance!

Using TLF as basis for code editor?

Hi,
I want to develop a editor, which can be used as code editor(not fullscreen, embedded in HTML view) - that means it shall support syntax highlighting, code completion (simulated with other Flex controls) during the maintenance of the code(tokens), you name it. It would also be important to have the possibilty to add (invisible) metadata (like IDs) to the tokens, since there shall be an automatic mapping (user enters tokens and on the fly they are mapped to internal IDs).
Performance, accessiblity and other related issues (RightToLeft) are also quite important. Undo/Redo of course also .
Do you think TLF would be of help here or was it designed for another purpose? Another alternative would be the use of the TextArea control (supports HTML).
Thanks for your feedback!

ok, thanks for your explainations.
I've forgotten to describe one further requirement. For some usecases, the user shall only enter coding/tokens in a template.
Example:
IF <userInput>
THEN <userInput>
ELSE <userinput>
So, the user shall not be able to delete the template structure (IF clause in this example, "ReadOnly Area").
I guess also you get low level events (for example, the user hovers the mouse over a token, so that you can provide a tooltip, etc.)?
There is the need for prototyping, no question. But from your gutfeeling, would you prefer TLF instead of using the standard TextArea control to implement such a code editor?
I know the TextArea control a little...I think its strength are the (memory) footprint, using of full(?) HTML...but I think using this control results not in a clean architecture because there would be the need to rely hevily on html/javascript (eg. using <A> tag to mask ID ) etc.
In contradiction, TLF can directly interpret XML if I've understood the concept correctly.

Javascript Code Assist Delay Time

How can I increase the delay time before code assist pops up when editing javascript in a .cfm file?
Under Preferences:Coldfusion:Editor Profiles:Editor:Code Assist
there is a setting "Delay before showing Code Assist" but changing this setting does NOT alter the javascript pop up delay.
Under Preferences:HTML:Editors:JavaScript:Code Assist
there is no similar setting.
So maybe I can edit this setting in a config file or something? I'm using coldfusion builder 1.0.0.271911 on snow leopard 10.6.3
thanks.

do I download Aptana plugin?
OMG please NO! Aptana is a bloated pig, and is what made CFBuilder 2 so slow.
I would suggest putting your JavaScript code in a separate file from your ColdFusion page, and using the <script> tag to load it in. If you need to pass ColdFusion variables into JavaScript, put a small <script> block on the CFML page wrapped in <cfoutput> just to create and populate the JavaScript variables, then add a second <script> tag to load your external JavaScript file.
By keeping your JavaScript separate from CFML code you achieve multiple benefits:
The built-in JavaScript parser/syntax highlighter will actually work, as those CF Builder features are somewhat dependent on recognizing the file extension to know which parser to use.
Maintenance of your application will be easier, because you don't have a mixture of CFML and JS code in the same file, and thus the files will be smaller and more targeted.
You can run your JavaScript file through "linters" to validate syntax.
You can minify your external JavaScript code files for better performance.
If you use build tools such as Grunt or Gulp, you can automate 3 and 4 without potentially breaking any CFML code in the process.
Probably additional benefits I'm not thinking of at the moment (someone will chime in I'm sure).

Acrobat crashed - can't enter Javascript code anymore!

I just had Acrobat (8.1.2) crash on me while I was working on the Javascript code I had in the file. When I opened the file after the crash, the javascript code was empty - everything had been obliterated in the code module. And even when I enter new code and close the editor, when I try to open it again, it's empty again.
I have Acrobat set to use an external app (I am using TextWrangler on a mac), so I don't know if that has any bearing on what happened, but the file now seems to be corrupted as any code I enter whether in an external app, or in the Acrobat javascript editor does not get saved. I tested the file on another computer, with the same results. Other files work properly on my computer.
Is there any way to recover the code from the file? I had spent several hours on several parts of the code, and am not looking forward to having to recreate my work.

How to use an if statement in javascript code

Hello,
I have a batch processing script to search for text "employee signature" on each page in a multiple page file and to then list in the console any pages that do not have the "Employee Signature" text included.
The script is not yet functional as an if statement needs to be included.
Can anyone please advise how to use an if statement in javascript code?
var numpages = this.numPages;
for (var i=0; i < numpages; i++)
search.query("Employee Signature", "ActiveDoc");
console.println('Pages that do not include an employee signature: ' + this.pageNum +' ');
Any assistance will be most appreciated.

Thank you very much for your assistance try.
I have modified the code as suggested and the page numbers are now listing correctly, thank you, but....................,
The console lists every page as having an "employee signature" when there are pages in the document that do not have an employee signature.
The code (revised as follows) is not processing the "getPageNthWord part of the statement" in the console report?
Can you please advise where the code needs reworking?
var ckWords; // word pair to test
var bFound = false; // logical status of found words
// loop through pages
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++ ) {
   bFound = false; // set found flag to false
   numWords = this.getPageNumWords(i); // number of words on page
   // loop through the words on page
   for (var j = 0; j < numWords; j++) {
      // get word pair to test
      ckWords = this.getPageNthWord(i, j) + ' ' + this.getPageNthWord(i, j + 1); // test words
      // check to see if word pair is 'Employee' string is present
      if ( ckWord == "Employee") {
         bFound = true; // indicate found logical value
         console.println('Pages that includes an employee signature: ' + (i + 1) +' ');
         break; // no need to further test for this page
      } // end Employee Signature
   } // end word loop
   // test to see if words not found
   if(bFound == false) {
         console.println('Pages that do include an employee signature: ' + (i + 1) +' ');
    } // end not found on page
} // end page loop
Thank you

Problem regarding writing javascript code within text field

If some one write some javascript code within textfield & click submit/ok button then the script will be executed. It will create a dengerous problem.
Suppose someone write a script within Test Box like
<script language='javascript'>
var fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
fso.DeleteFile('d:test.txt',true);
</script>
it will delete file from local drive of client machine.
Can you help me How to solve the above problem? ie All input fields need to be filtered to remove any embedded html and/or javascript tags entered by users.
Thanking you
Biplab

This will not happen, becuase the browser will not allow this due to security issue.

File not visible in Layout Editor, but okay in Source Code Editor & Preview

I just finished editing this page, and uploaded. It is visible on www, but when I go to edit it in Layout Editor, the cursor is blinking on a white background. Nothing appears to be there. However if I change to Source Code Editor or Preview, all my data is there. Here is the link to it - www.engraversnetwork.com/uls_lasers.html.

Wow! I figured it out. I was cleaning up my meta tags and left the ">" bracket off of the end of the line. Maybe that will help someone later on

How to add a font for use by the code editor

Version 3.0.04 windows
found Preferences -> Code Editor -> Fonts
Did not see the font I would like to use in the list. The font is terminal. The font can be displayed in Control Panel -> fonts in windows.
In the help I found Edit Font Location but could not find the dialog box described in the help
Is there a procedure to add the font so SQL Dev can use it?
Thanks

Hi Dag,
Apparently editing Font Location in 3.0 applies only to ...

How can I delete all javascript code from a file

On file open: "This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists."

I had an existing, functional datepicker in a web page.
Recently I downloaded the UI Datepicker in the Widget Browser and installed it in DW CS5. Now every time I load the file that calls the datepicker that I added myself, a warning opens with the following text:
This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists. If you don't remove the code, the browser might display JavaScript errors when loading the page. Would you like Dreamweaver to find all instances of this code for you?
Widget: $("#reservDateBegin").datepicker();
Widget: $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker();
Clicking "Yes" opens the file and shows the search box at the bottom of the window with [current document] in File and $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker(); in Matched Text. Clicking "No" just opens the file.
The error is wrong, since installing the widget is what caused the error in the first place!
How can I get DW to stop showing this message?
Thanks for any help.

I do understand you're trying to be helpful. I was just hoping providing the relevant code snippets would be sufficient so I didn't have to take the time to provide a "cleaned" version of the files and upload those to a public-safe location.
Zabeth69 wrote: If you don't understand what 'code at the bottom of the page' means, you have not used one of those systems. I don't know what causes the error code to come up (besides removing a Spry widget, I mean). So if it doesn't apply to you, ignore it.
This is exactly my point: I haven't used any of the DW "systems". I've always manually coded in DW, so I can't have removed a Spry widget in the first place. It wasn't until I installed the Widget using the Widget Browser that I started getting the error (I don't mean adding the datepicker widget to the code using the DW Insert menu - I mean installing the Widget into DW itself). Ignoring such an erroneous/incorrect error seems kind of silly, since every time I open the file I get the error message.
Anyway, as requested, the following are links to the contactUsCleaned.php page, and the php included headerCleaned.php file. Since these use php includes to complete the rendered HTML, they won't look right in the browser, but as you know viewing the source will show the relevant html, javascript, and jquery code. I didn't see any way to upload the files in this forum, which, due to the php code, would be preferable to see exactly what my code looks like...
http://www.eventidewebdesign.com/public/contactUsCleaned.php
http://www.eventidewebdesign.com/public/headerCleaned.php
The footer.php file the contactUs page includes is simply a set of HTML links to the pages on the site, copyright info, and the Google Analytics script. There is no other code in the footer.php file.

How to change background color in code editor?

Hi. Some of the pre-selectable Schemes under Tools->Preferences->Code Editor->PL/SQL Syntax Color (e. g. Ocean) have a "global" default background color that applies to all styles. How can I edit this color for my own color scheme?
(SQL Developer version 3.1.07)

Jeff,
if you try to change all the plsql keywords to the same background color (that is not either white or black or blue) via the options panel in SQL Developer (Code Editor > PLSQL syntax colors), you will get the new background color in the worksheet only for the areas with plsql text, while the areas without any text will have the same background color as the base color scheme you started with. This means that there is no way to change the "general background" color via the options panel, but you have to use the same background color of one of the predefined color schemes.
This seems to me a bug, but probably it's not considered high priority, so it will not be fixed for the time being.
I would like to stress the fact that being able to change the color scheme of the development environment that you use every day about 8 hours a day can make quite a difference on your eyes at the end of the day.
Thanks,
Paolo
