APEX pop-up textarea on form

I am trying to create a "link" on a tabular form to an Impromptu pop-up for a textarea. I was using Dan McGhan's guide on his blog Dan McGhan's Oracle Blog: Popup In Report. Admittedly the explanation is a few years old. So maybe it does not work any longer.
It does display the pop-up correctly. But it does not update the database column. Nor does a value appear associated with the hidden field. I believe I have the code customized correctly. The ID of the column is F02. And the item for the text area is F10 in my case.
I've set it up here. The credentials are DEMO/DEMO. Thanks.

I checked using firebug. If i type something and clicked ok button in pop-up window means It (the value) should populate into the hidden item(f10) in your case. but the hidden item is not getting populated. I am not able to login into your workspace as a developer. Can plz check, how you are populating the value from pop-up text field to hidden item?..
If the value populated in hidden item then definitely it will store in database column.
Also i checked in Dan McGhan's example for this using firebug. There the value is populated to hidden item. I think you missed something for populating the hidden item. Plz check.
If you can share your workspace details as a developer.
Thanks

You cannot disable them instead make them read-only, but the problem comes if you have any form controls like select lists because they are already read-only
Create a dynamic action as follows:
Event: Page Load
True Action: Execute JavaScript Code
Code:
//replace the REGION_STATIC_ID with your tabular form's region static id
$('#TF').find('.uReport.uReportStandard').find('tbody').find('td[headers!="CHECK$01"] > :input').attr("readonly", true).css("background-color", "#F2F2F2");
$('td[headers="CHECK$01"] > input').click(function () {
     if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
          $(this).parent('td').parent('tr').find('td[headers!="CHECK$01"] > :input').attr("readonly", false).css("background-color", "");
     else {
          $(this).parent('td').parent('tr').find('td[headers!="CHECK$01"] > :input').attr("readonly", true).css("background-color", "#F2F2F2");
});

POP up TextArea ?

Hi ,
Is there any way to get POP up with text area window , like PopUp LOV .
I have tabular form with comment field which is set to display as text Area .Insted of setting online text area with in a row , I want to have POPUp text area, so that user can enter text there .
Is there any way doing this ?

[Please set your name in the user profile so we know how to address you. Thanks.]
If I understand your question, you have a tabular form that currently displays the comment field and allows updates. I'm guessing that, because of limited real estate, you don't want the comment field on the tabular form? If so, an alternative might be to show/hide that column using a small button on the form. This would have the advantage of keeping all the columns in the same transaction.
Carl Backstrom's sample Apex application shows how to do this with report columns, but I haven't tried it on a tabular form.
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:13
If you really want to do this in a pop-up, you're really just talking about a separate update form with the standard DML processes. Basic steps are to create a new update form, select the primary key and the comment column as updateable, no tabs or breadcrumb reagion, and change the page template to a minimalist style (like popup). Then you'd need to edit the tabular form to pass the primary key. The difficult thing is that the row to be edited would need to already exist when they open the popup. That's because the popup update form would need to have a row to actually update in a different transaction . So this couldn't work with a new row before it's saved.
I hope this helps.
Good luck,

Apex 3.2 Textarea disable but scrollbar enable

Hello,
There is a requirement in my project for disabling textarea of apex field but enabling scrollbar for that field.
Please let me know how to do it?
Pramila

Use the <tt>readonly</tt> attribute. Set the HTML Form Element Attributes property for the textarea to
readonly="readonly"(Please update your forum profile with a better handle than "814338".)

On Windows 8.1 and Firefox 36.0.1 the textarea in forms has no carriage returns. Earlier versions the forms work. Is there a fix for this?

Prior to this version of Firefox 36.0.1, the <textarea> in my HTML forms was working; displaying carriage returns. In version 36.0.1 they no longer function properly. Instead when I enter a carriage return, it displays a space instead of a newline. I went to the most basic textarea testing
<textarea> name="comments" cols=20 rows=10 </textarea>
to make sure I wasn't introducing anything with other languages.
I am using Windows 8.1 Pro. I rolled back to Firefox 35.0 and everything works fine. I install 36.0.1 and it stops working.
I have access to another Laptop also running the same version of windows and Firefox and it appears to be doing strange things as well. I am suspicious in that I started noticing this immediately after a windows upgrade last night. The laptop also experienced the issues it is having immediately after a windows update yesterday evening.
I have yet another PC running a different version of windows and Firefox and it too works fine. It looks like the issue is where there is windows 8.1 Pro and Firefox 36.0.1.
Do you guys have any idea what is going on here?
Thanks

The current release supports the white-space property for a text area and it is possible that the website uses white-space: pre instead of white-space: pre-wrap.
The former will prevent Firefox from wrapping the text.
You can check that in the Inspector via the right-click context menu.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Page_Inspector
See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/36#CSS
<blockquote>The white-space property is now working on <textarea> HTML elements (bug 82711).</blockquote>

APEX4-How can I see the insert sql apex is creating to insert form into db?

Hi,
I've a table with around 78 columns and a form to submit the values. Till around 68 columns it was working fine, when I added another 10 fields and modified names of few other, on clicking Create or Apply it throws duplicate column name error. I've given the exact error below.
How can I find out which is the duplicate column? or where the problem lies? The form is quite big and complex so I don't want to recreate it.
Is it possible for me to see the sql apex is generating to insert or update the value?
When I try to create a new entry, application throws this error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 79: PL/SQL: ORA-00957: duplicate column name ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
On editing an existing entry, application throws error:
ORA-20505: Error in DML: p_rowid=181, p_alt_rowid=RT_ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-00957: duplicate column name
Thanks for you time.
Thanks,
Hozy

Fixed, I was referring to same column name twice.

Creating a pop window in smart forms runtime with text entry

Dear Experts,
I Need to Create a pop window ( in run time of smart forms ) in which the user can enter some text and that text needs to be populated in the smart forms ouput.

Pop up appears when form is opened?

I am new to JavaScript and I have the following script that I hope someone can help me with.
I am using LiveCycle Designer 7.0 from Acrobat Professional. I am trying to validate the entry in a test field. I want to make sure that the four digit year is not less than the current year and can be a year in the future.
My problem is when the form is opened in Reader the alert box pops up before the actual form. When I key in the field the validation seems to be working. What do I need to do to stop the alert from showing when the form is first opened?
----- form1.Alabama.Yr::validate - (JavaScript, client) -------------------
var today = new Date();
var year = today.getFullYear();
if (this.rawValue === year || this.rawValue < year)
app.alert("Year is not correct.");
Yr.rawValue = null;
Much thanks in advance.

Hélène-
Thanks for the detail regarding validation script, but I still am having a problem with it.
I have tried what you told me (remove reset the value) the popup no longer appears when the form is opened. But the validation does not seen to be working. It is not working either in the validate or exit event. This is what I have now on that text field.
----- form1.#subform[0].Y::exit - (JavaScript, client) ---------------------------------------------
//Verify year is current or year+1
var today = new Date();
var year = today.getFullYear();
if (this.rawValue == year || this.rawValue == year+1)
app.alert("Year is invalid.\n\nOnly current or next year is valid.");
----- form1.#subform[0].Y::validate - (JavaScript, client) -----------------------------------------
//Final verification
ScriptObject.ValidateField(event.target, this);
This final verification script I have taken from the samples on the
LiveCycle Developer Center (Validating field content in a form hosted in Adobe Acrobat).
The alert only displays when 2007 or 2008 is entered. I am really confused now. I thought I had a handle on this with your explanation.
I do not know where to go now. The Object Pallet is setup as:
Field Tab
Allow Plain Text Only and Limit Length are checked with a Max Chars: 4. Edit Pattern: 99999
Value Tab
Type: User Entered - Required
Validation Pattern: 9999
Validation Script Message is checked - in Message box Invalid Year.
Binding Tab
Default Binding: Normal
Data Format: Plain Text
I am hoping that you can explain what I have wrong.
Thanks so much,
Confused Nancy

Problems with trying to create a dynamic pop up list on Forms 9.0.4

Here is the scenario I have:
I have a form with multiple tab pages. On one of those tab pages I have a list item that is intended to produce a list of options when a user clicks on the down arrow icon common to these objects. This list item is not going to be using a LOV to produce its values. Rather: <p>
<br>
-We have a query record group, that looks something like:<br>
<i>Select <b>variable1</b>, <b>variable2</b> from <b>table1</b> where <b>variable3</b> = '<b>value1</b>'</i><p>
-We have a WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger in the block with the following code:<br>
<i>Declare<br>
     Status NUMBER;<br>
Begin<br>
     Status := populate_group('<b>record group</b>');<br>
     populate_list ('<b>block name.list item</b>', '<b>record group</b>');<br>
End;</i><p>
-We have the list item itself with no elements in its palette list, with its type set to List item, with style set to poplist, set to the right tab page, and database column name set to: <b>table2.variable4</b><p>
There are other things set up too that I can provide info on, but basically you can get the picture of how this is set up. I finished this and it will still not produce any values in pop list. Any ideas how to fix it?

My code turned out fine, but the biggest help was that when you mentioned the fact about "at run-time". Reminded me of something and ultimately, I found the problem at the procedural level in one of the program units. Thanks again for all the help ^^.

Create pop-up windows in forms 10g

I have an application in which several formal controls are made before insert/update a record. Some of them are blocking, some others arent.
Actually, at every constraint violation, a message is displayed with an alert. So, the user may got one or more alerts before he succeed in inserting/updating a record. And it may be annoying to click on 'OK' a lot of times!
So, I wish to collect all error message and display them in a window, which is to be displayed in a pop-up way (something like the alerts that appear at the bottom-right corner of our screen when we have new mail).
The issue is that the pop-up window must not disturb the user, i.e it should be displayed and iconized after few seconds, leaving the focus on the main window.
I tried several solutions, but each of them have some issues.
External HTML page: maybe its the easiest solution. But bluring it, the focus doesnt return to the form application.
New window: I can run and iconize it. But, as in the previous case, the main window lost the focus.
New canvas: I put a text item LOG_ERRORS in a new canvas, in the same main window. But when I run it, the main canvas disappear.
does anyone know how to create popup windows in forms 10g (if it is possible)?
thank you

You can use a new window and set "Window Style" to "Dialog" then you can show the window without the main-window loosing the focus

Pop Up menu - Oracle Forms

Hi there,
I am stuck with a pop up menu, not displaying correctly the columns, when it launches the designated report - via oracle forms and is there any way to ensure that the items displayed on the form are displayed the same way in a report through the pop up menu?
Example :
ets say on the screen(oracle forms) if you see "Name, place, animal, thing" and when you click on block report all(block report all is the pop up menu on my form), I am seeing "place,animal,thing,name" as opposed to "Name, place, animal, thing" . Is there any way to ensure consistency.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
S

Sorry, but i didn't get your requirement? What is "Name, place, animal, thing" is this the order of items shown in your form, or is it the order of records queried into your form?
And what is the thing you want get the same sorting for. Is it the same set of data to be displayed in the report. If its for sorting data, you will have to provide an ORDER BY both on your forms-block and your reports-query.

Master/Detail/Lookup functionality - ApEx and AJAX vs Oracle Forms

I'd like to build a master detail form with some lookup functionality and have some of the fields automatically populated. I come from an Oracle Forms and PL/SQL background so I was hoping for some guidance in ApEx and Javascript for how to achieve the same effect.
If you look at the default Sample Application (DEMO_APP), page 29 has the master record and the corresponding details on the same page.
The functionality I'd like is:
1) when a new product is chosen from the Product Name select list, I'd like the Unit Price to be populated.
2) when the Quantity is updated, I'd like
a) the Extended Price to be recalculated and
b) the Order Total to be recalculated
all before submitting the page. This is pretty trivial in Oracle Forms but I've had limited success with ApEx.
I've been able to achieve 1) in a single record form but not a tabular form using the techniques from Scott's AJAX generator http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33867:2.
I've been able to achieve 2a) in a tabular form using the techniques from Vikas in this thread Tabular form with Ajax
I haven't had any luck getting 2b) to work.
So, is my wish list possible?
If it is, I'd appreciate some pointers and/or code. I don't speak Javascript but I can copy and paste ;)
Cheers,
Bryan.

Hi Carl,
Ok, thanks for the tip - take a look at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24745 login as demo/demo and edit one of the top orders. This will take you to page 29.
I've changed the 2.0 Sample Application to allow both the unit_price and the quantity to be overtyped. Each column has the 'Element Attributes' property set to onChange="calcTotal(this)" to call the javascript code.
This recalculates the extended_price (feature 2a above) but the order total (or the report total) is not affected (feature 2b) - how can I change the code to achieve this?
If I change an existing line item and choose another product from the select list, I'd like the unit_price and the extended_price to change appropriately (feature 1 above) - having to wait until after the form is submitted is not acceptable to my users.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this - I really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Bryan.

Need help with pop up notice when form submitted

Hello,
I created a form that has a submission button at the bottom for the application to be emailed upon 'mouse up' action to an email address.
I want to put in a pop up of 'Thank you! Your Application has been submitted'.
Can this be done within the pdf form somehow?
Any guidance or person who can do this is much appreciated!
Dena Price

Hello,
I believe you have helped me in the past!!! I am sorry your name escapes me!
So what would the action be to make sure it comes up IF the form goes thru? Is this something you can do for the person I do the forms for?
