Auto Submit in Tabular form

I have a tabular form in which I want a select list to auto submit. I have tried using OnChange but can't seem to get it to work.
What would I need to change on this select list to get it to auto submit the tabular form for me?
Thanks!
Edited to add -- I have added this code to the element attributes of the field and it does submit but the LOV then returns blank.
onchange="doSubmit('SAVE')"

Hi
How did you get it to work? I kind of have a similar issue. Thanks.

Checkbox in tabular form - help needed

I'm trying to build a tabular form, with a checkbox for a field that can have value 'Y' or 'N'. Adding the checkbox is no problem, with the htmldb_item.checkbox API.
However, processing it is.
On this forum I found a way to process the checkboxes, by looping through all the records (with the help of htmldb_item.hidden in which the id is stored) and reading the value from the checkboxes and updating the column if the checkbox is checked. (see Re: Report with updateable checkbox)
however, as soon as I add a htmldb_item.hidden item, I receive the following error when I submit the tabular form to the Multi Row Update process:
"Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. "
My query:
Select id
,htmldb_item.hidden(1,id)
,htmldb_item.checkbox(2,id, decode(field, 'Y', 'CHECKED', NULL))
from table
What am I doing wrong?
is there a better way to process a tabular form with checkboxes?
Or should I process all the rows manually by updating every record even if it hasn't changed (with a loop through all the records)?

Tonnie, did you ever get an answer to this question?

Disabling Popup LOV (named LOV) cell in my tabular form

Hello.
I have a tabular form.
I have a column where I insert values based on the named list of values. I make the field of "Popup LOV (named LOV)" type. However, ApEx allows the values to be either picked from the popup list or entered manually into the field's text field. I want to prevent the user from being able to manuall enter the values into the field and force the use of the popup LOV.
I know that selecting Popup LOVs for regular items in a region make the text field "disabled" disallowing direct entering of values. However, for tabular forms' fields, this does not seem to be the case.
Is there a style I can add to the attribute to make this happen?
thanks
Boris

Hi Boris,
I'm glad that you are learning things through this forum!
You can't validate tabular form items using the normal Item Level validation - as this is for page item names only (that is, P1_EMPNO for example).
You can do validation using PL/SQL in a Page Level Validation. There are a number of examples on how to do this on this forum. Here's one by Denes: [http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:41]
When you submit a tabular form page, Apex creates collections for each "fnn" set of items. "f01" items are stored in APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01, "f02" items are stored in APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02 and so on. To validate any item, you loop through one collection and check its value or the values in the same position on the other collections.
In Denes's example, he is looping through the "f02" items (that is APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02 from 1 to APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02.COUNT) and checks the values in the "f07" (APEX_APPLICATION.G_F07) and "f08" (APEX_APPLICATION.G_F08) items. The items are stored in their collections in the same order as they appear on the page, the first item in G_F01 is on the same row as the first item in G_F07 and so on. The validation(s) to perform will depend on your requirements.
In the example, Denes is using a "Function Returning Error Text" validation. In these, you either return a string containing the error or NULL (meaning no error has been found).

Re-enable column values in tabular form before submit

Hi,
I am using Apex 4.1. I have a tabular form. I created a dynamic action to disable some of the columns on page load.
It works fine and I am able to add new rows. But when I click submit, all the column values are null and it is throwing validation error.
I need to enable all the columns before submit. I invoked a javascript to enable all the fields, but still i get the validation error.
I also tried creating dynamic action to enable the values but still I get the validation error becuase the values are all null.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Per HTML standards, disabled items are not submitted. Therefore if they are disabled at the point of submit, their corresponding session state values will be null (as you discovered). Apex validates against what is is session state, not against what is on your screen, so since the values didn't get submitted (per standards for HTML disabled items) that's why Apex thinks they are null.
Before submit, re-enable the items/columns and it should work fine.
Edit: Sorry, looks like you are doing this already. But are you doing it in the right order?
How I have done it is:
1. Change the save/apply changes button (whatever is doing the submit) to call a URL.
2. Make the URL call javascript, such as:
javascript:formSave('SAVE');
3. Put a javascript function on your region or page (hypothetical example):
<script type="text/javascript">
function formSave(pRequest)
{ //Put all checking and processing prior to form save here.
var vRequest="SAVE"; //default value taken from orig. "apply changes" button
if(pRequest)
vRequest=pRequest;
enableAllCells(gMaintActionCol); //Put whatever code you have to re-enable your tabular form items here, must fire before apex.submit.
//Do the save
apex.submit(vRequest);
</script>Edited by: gti_matt on Dec 1, 2011 3:04 PM

MULTI ITEM ENTRY AT A TIME IN TABULAR FORM SUBMIT ONE TIME

MULTI ITEM ENTRY AT A TIME IN TABULAR FORM SUBMIT ONE TIME

No, it wasn't addressed to you but rather the OP - sorry for the confusion.
I try where possible to point out that without asking a sensible and clear question, posters are unlikely to get sensible and clear answers. A lot of time is wasted on this forum trying to get people to ask questions properly.

Can we have the 'select list with submit' type within a tabular form?

An item can be the "Select list with submit' type so a form has no problem with it. However, when I built a tabular form manually, I couldn't find this type. There are only three types avaiable: "named", "static", and "dynamic".
Is it possible to have the "submit" type so columns of the tabular form can be dynamically rendered based on the user inputs?
Another question I have is how to dynamically build the tabular form with decode func. For example, if the value of col_1 is 'val_1', then build a select list in col_2; otherwise null in col_2.
I tried to use
select col1,
decode (col1, 'val_1', select htmldb_item.select_list_from_lov(2, first, 'lov1') from dual, null)
from....
where....
But it didn't work.
I'd like to know whether it's feasible to have something like that.
TIA.

You could use a region of type PL/SQL function
returning SQL query to dynamically build this kind of
tabular form. However if you want to use the built-in
multi-row insert, update and delete processes, all
items in a column must have the same display type. Marc, thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it.
I got your idea. However, I need to have the javascript 'ToggleAll' as the heading so the form works as same as the built-in one. If I put the query definition into a pl/sql procedure, where I can put this html tab attribute? It can not be inside the checkbox function, otherwise the checkbox of any row would act as same as the header.
I hope I've made this clear.
To Vikas: It's our clients who want this, not us. :(

Tabular Form - submit custom data and insert/update records

I have a tabular form with 2 columns representing table data and 5 more custom columns.
Task ID
Task Name
10/7/2013 to 10/13/2013
10/14/2013 to 10/20/2013
10/21/2013 to 10/27/2013
10/28/2013 to 11/3/2013
11/4/2013 to 11/10/2013
1
TASK1
2
TASK2
3
TASK3
I use an sql which returns null values for columns 3 to 7. Then I use the html formatting option of apex and jquery to add change the headers to weeks and add checkboxes.
My sql: select task_id, task_name, null week1, null week2, null week3, null week4, null week5 from <table name>
My table has the columns task id, task name , start_date and end_date.
When the user clicks the submit button, i need to send the checkbox data to my stored procedure and insert records into the corresponding table. I am unable to find out how to send a mapping of the task_id, date headers in each column and the checkbox data to apex back end and process them. For example, if the first check box in first row is checked, i should insert a row with values "1, TASK1, 10/7/2013, 10/13/2013". I also have to read the data from the table and display it in the same format. Please let me know how to accomplish this in apex.

instead of using null, you can use apex_item api to create check boxes
read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_item.htm#CHDDCHAF
you can set the value of check boxes using apex_item api and then the value can be captured in your process
check this: Martin Giffy D'Souza on Oracle APEX: APEX Report with checkboxes (advanced).
let me know if this answers your query in the current thread

Auto submit virtual form on change (not the whole form)

If you tick the "auto submit on change" option of a drop down, it submits the whole form, thus all the required fields have to be filled. Are there any way to submit only the perticular virtual form on change?
Thank you very much.

I don't see the problem... Are the files being digitally signed? If not then there's no difference at all between submitting the form data and using it to populate a local copy of the file and submitting the entire file.
It's technically impossible to extract a page from a PDF viewed in Reader.
Another alternative: Split the file in two parts and put a link on the last page of the first file to the second part, which will contain only the page with the form fields. You can add a link and some text to the page saying that it is a continuation of the first document.

Auto submit a form

In my form processing pages, I have some values I'd like to
pass as hidden form fields. On this page I create hidden form
fields based on info defined in the URL. The fields are created and
then a cflocation takes the user to the next page. Since everything
on this page is automatic, is there a way to get the form to auto
submit so the hidden values are usable on the next page? Thanks for
the help!

Session variables are simply variables that are 'remembered'
for the duration of that particular user's session. So, when you
have the value you want, you use <cfset session.yourVariableName
= yourValue>. Then, for the rest of the session, you can call on
that variable to use in your code.

Auto Submit the form..

Hi
I am developing an application where I run a timer using javascript..
All I want is to auto-submit the form when my timer comes to zero..
whenever the form is submitted I should get all the values from the HTML file..
The user is given a submit button where in which the user can submit the form before the time runs to zero..
How can I auto submit the form..??

BalusC wrote:
The forms[0] returns the first form in the document root. I'd rather to use the form name instead.
document.formname.submit();
I personally use getElementById() :)
And by the way, isn't the 'name' attribute for form deprecated? At least, that's what an IDE I used to use kept displaying as a warning; I never bothered to actually look it up.

Tabular form - how to auto populate a column with the user name

Hi,
I have a tabular form with 3 columns - (customer name, notes, user). my users are allowed to enter customer details in the notes section... as soon as the user completes notes section and save the form, I want "USER" field to be auto populate with the user name so that I may track activity by the user...
Please advice how to accomplish it...
thanks in advance

Hi,
After user saves the forms that means commit to the database, so you can simply write a trigger like:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "AUDIT"
before insert or update on TABLE1
for each row
begin
:new.user_field := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
end;

Tabular form: run procedure with Submit button

I am trying to create a form (pulling from two tables) that allows for 'one' column to be modified. Once you hit submit I'd like the following procedure to run:
Begin
Ht_bpe.populate_schedule;
End;
This will update the associated completion dates (additional populated columns in the form) based off the change done by the end user for that 'one' column and return you back to the same page with the updated dates.
but i keep getting the following error when i test it out:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: no data found in tabular form
Error Unable to process update.
OK
please help!
Edited by: jclarke2 on Jun 15, 2009 3:58 PM

Hello:
What is the need for the MRU process ? It appears to me that you want to control the DML actions to be taken on submitting the form. If this is the case then all you have to do is to define a 'after submit' page to invoke the 'Ht_bpe.populate_schedule' procedure.

Dynamic Action on tabular form: to auto set value for all changes rows

Hi All:
I am using APEX4.2.3 and I am not very familar with JQUERY or Javascript.
I am having a tabular form to support Update and Delete action. The tabular form has 4 columns:
Column A: ID                      (Number)     : Read-only column
column B: Name                 (Varchar2)   : Editable
Column C: Age                    (Number)     : Editable
Column D: ChangeFlag      (Varchar2)   : Read-only column                             ==> however, I want this column been automatically upldated by my APEX application
Here is the requirement: First user update Column B, or C or both for # of rows; then user click "Save Change" button. For ALL updated rows, I need to automatically update Column D with below logic:
For a given row,
               IF Column D IS NULL THEN
                     set value = 'M'                           -- M means modified
               ELSE --- column D has a value already
                    IF last character of Column D is 'M', THEN
                           don't do anything;
                    ELSE
                          set value of D = existing value + 'M'                       (here + means concatenate
                   END IF;
            END IF;
I thought this can be done by creating dynamic action on tabular form ... I have researched this on this forum and can't find a good match example ..
I know I can implement this using a DB trigger; however, I want to learn if this can be achived via Dynamic Action.
Thanks!

Read only column in tabular form

There is a not null column ( say SEQ) in a tabular form that is getting an auto value from other process. 2 more columns need user input on each row.I need to make this column(SEQ) as read only.
If I make this column (SEQ) as standard report column then when I submit the newly added row , I always get ORA-20001 error- can not insert NULL into SEQ.. even though I can see there is a value there. Switch ithe column back to text field, the insert went just fine .
How do you solve this read only column issue ?
Thanks a bunch for your help.
Tai

thank you for your reply.
Nope, SEQ is not the first column. Primary Key is and I leave the pK alone.
When I press ADDROW button , tabular form is like the following: ( table alreay has 2 rows), I auto populate SEQ column and I like to make this SEQ column display only.
-- represents checkbox
PK      SEQ      col1           col2
--     1     890          test1
--     2     675          test2
--     3

Tabular Form to insert multiple rows at once

Reading the forum I see I should use a tabular form to create an insert page to create multiple records at once. However is there a way to do this without loading records from the table so it will just be a plain create page?
Any help is appreciated, thank you

Hi Marc,
That tutorial was pretty useful. And I have it somewhat working.
Right now I have it auto displaying blank rows by default which is good and my collection is being created and everything. However, where I am having the problem now is updating the collection with the values from each field.
Here is my script I am using:
declare
c pls_integer := 0;
begin
for c1 in (
select seq_id from apex_collections
where collection_name = 'INSERT_BLANK'
order by seq_id)
loop
c := c+1;
if apex_collection.collection_exists(p_collection_name => 'INSERT_BLANK') then
for i in 1..apex_application.g_f01.count
loop
APEX_COLLECTION.UPDATE_MEMBER(
p_collection_name => 'INSERT_BLANK',
p_seq => c1.seq_id,
p_c001 => nvl(apex_application.g_f01(c),''),
p_c002 => nvl(apex_application.g_f02(c),''),
p_c003 => nvl(apex_application.g_f03(c),''),
p_c004 => nvl(apex_application.g_f04(c),''),
p_c005 => nvl(apex_application.g_f05(c),''),
p_c006 => nvl(apex_application.g_f06(c),''),
p_c007 => nvl(apex_application.g_f07(c),''));
end loop;
end if;
end loop;
end
I made a process On Submit Before Computation with this and another one that inserts the data in to the table:
for i in 1..apex_application.g_f01.count
loop
if apex_application.g_f02(i) is not null then
insert into pinfo_t
(id,
name,
start_date,
end_date,
value,
database_id,
host_id)
values
(apex_application.g_f02(i),
apex_application.g_f03(i),
apex_application.g_f04(i),
apex_application.g_f06(i),
apex_application.g_f07(i),
apex_application.g_f08(i),
apex_application.g_f09(i));
end if;
end loop;
It keeps coming back with "ORA-01403: no data found "
Any ideas?
