Bug in Date Picker..urgent

Dear All,
I ma working with OAF 5.7h.
I am facing a strange problem.
I hav a date picker,the one where u hav a date icon on clicking of which the dâte picker opens up in a secondary modal window with the month and year in individual pulldown lists, [Month] in first pulldown list, [Year] in next pulldown list.
Now whenever i scroll thro the Month pulldown list and try selecting February from the Month [first] pulldown list,it alwayz returns the next month (ie ) March in the list(whenever we choose any month from the month pull down list the secondary date window refreshes and puts the selected month as selected in the pulldown list).
The year pull down does not cause any such behaviour.
Its fine with all the months except February.
So unfortunately the user can never select the month Feb,it alwaz return March in the list.
I tried to see the html code in the explorer.View ...Source and i saw that the value attribute in the HTNL tags for both the months Feb and March is same.
So whether i choose Feb or March it displays March...
How can i change this because what i understand the value is generated dynamically for each month in the javascript for the date pop up.
Any help would really be great..
Thanks

Hi Sharon,
So, It's not a bug it's a feature … :)
IMHO, or to be more exact, in my users opinion, the current behavior is not good enough from a user interface point of view. We are all use to see some noticeable reaction when we are pressing on a link, button etc. The current response to choosing another day is not noticeable enough, and can cause some confusion. I would expect the newly chosen day to be colored. If you think that the current date should also remain marked, you can use another color.
If you use this in a form with a value already set you will notice that it is not the value of the item that is in grey, it is sysdateYes, I've notice that, and in the case that sysdate is not in the current displayed month, nothing is colored. I find this behavior also to be a bit confusing. I think the date picker value should be marked.
I would appreciate if you'll consider this thread as an enhancement request.
Thanks,
Arie.

  • Problem with date format using date picker

    In my application I provide to user ability to change date format. When using "MMM dd yyyy" format, the date picker paste to the inputbox something like "1111 07 2008" instead of "Nov 07 2008".
    To set the date format I use the following code:
    wdContext.nodeDateNode().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("date").getModifiableSimpleType().setFormat("MMM dd yyyy");
    I know that is known bug of date picker. But there should be other way to implement this functionality. Isn't it?

  • Select list and date picker on one line  -  is this a bug?

    I'm using: Application Express 3.2.0.00.27
    Is the following a bug? If so, how do I get it reported so it will be fixed in a future release of APEX? If not, how do I do it so it ends up the way I want?
    1. create blank page
    2. create html region
    3. create "select list" item (Begin On New Line - Yes, ...Field - Yes, ColSpan - 1, Row Span - 1)
    4. create date picker item (Begin On New Line - No, ...Field - No, ColSpan - 1, Row Span - 1)
    There will be other items displayed in more columns above what I just had you create above. I want the select list and the date picker to display next to each other on same line, so I placed date picker item on same line in same field as select list item.
    HOWEVER... the date picker ends up displayed under the select list item (kind of), instead of next to it on the same line.
    Here's what I get:
    ...................... [Select List Field] Date Picker Label
    Select List Label
    ...................... [Date Picker Field]
    Here's what I want:
    Select List Label [Select List Field] Date Picker Label [Date Picker Field]
    Thanks,

  • Date Picker BUG on APEX 4.2.1

    Hi all could you please open a ticket for the following bug.
    Reproducing the bug very simple.
    Apex specification :
    version 4.2.1.00.08
    I'm not using HTML 5 template but the classic "Blue and Tan" one.
    1) Create a page with date picker with mask (DD-MON-YYY HH24.MI).
    2) set as default value the SYSDATE using the PLSQL expression (not specifying the mask to_char()).
    3) Try to use it and you will see that the year shown is not the correct one but is something like 1911.
    I fixed using to_char(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYY HH24.MI') in the PLSQL expression.

    Hi Zere,
    one very important thing to remember when dealing with session state (the value of a page item) is that everything is stored as string.
    If you specify SYSDATE as your default expression, then the Oracle database will evaluate that as date data type, but as soon as it's stored in session state, the database will do an implicit data type conversion using the default format mask specified for your database session.
    That's why it works when you do the TO_CHAR with the explicit format mask.

  • Editable and Read-Only Date Picker have different display formats -- Bug?

    Hi all,
    This is a follow on to a previous posting about getting a Date Picker field to display read-only (Date Picker and Read-Only Condition works on LAST state of element
    Now past that hurdle, I have noticed something about the date picker field when it is displays read-only. Namely, the date format is not the format selected, nor does the read-only date format comply with the format mask in the source section.
    I've modified my small test app to work as intended in order to demonstrate this feature. I also opened it up so everyone can see it <blush>. You can find it here: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42513: Please navigate to the Update Project tab.
    When a project in Program One through Four is selected (which has a Spec Committed date), the date is displayed DD-MON-YY format. When a project the other Programs (which do not have Spec Committed dates at the time of this writing) are selected, and a date value selected with the date picker, the date is displayed in the anticipated DD-MON-YYYY format.
    Anyone else notice this, or have I just missed something obvious?
    Thanks,
    Petie

    I'm not sure why this happens but to work around it I added this before header process code to the page:
    execute immediate 'alter session set nls_date_format = ''DD-MON-YYYY''';

  • Date Picker Incorrect time! URGENT HELP NEEDED

    Hello
    We have an application. In the application when you click a date picker the time is an hour forward. Where does the date picker get its time from?
    We have alot of date pickers and we are not wanting to set them by a query.
    The OS the machine application server is on is the correct time.
    Even if I create an item and select sysdate from dual the time is correct.
    Please help.

    From the SQL Reference manual:
    "The difference between this function and LOCALTIMESTAMP is that CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns a TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE value while LOCALTIMESTAMP returns a TIMESTAMP value."
    In your query, you're chopping off the timezone of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP (as it's of data type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE).
    Perform these two queries in SQL Commands:
    select current_timstamp from dual;
    select localtimestamp from dual;I'll bet you a million dollars that the query against LOCALTIMESTAMP is off by one hour from what you expect.

  • Problem with Date Picker Item

    Hello,
    I'm using APEX 4.2.2.00.11 and I have a problem with the Date Picker. I can't select any day of the second week of the month (it happens for all months).
    Someone know if there are any reason (and how can I solve it) or is an APEX bug?
    Thank you!

    Hi Chimanzee,
    try for : source value
    to_char(sysdate-7,'DD/MM/RRRR')
    hope this helps.

  • Date Picker problem in Apex 3.1

    Hi,
    I upgraded my apex to 3.1 and found that the date picker icon behaviour become quite strange.
    If I set the label of the date picker Horizontal/Vertical Alignment to Above, the picker icon will show below the text box instead of right side. And the pop-up calendar for Date Picker (DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI) also not high enought to show the Close and OK button, I have to manually adjust the pop-up calendar height.
    All this problems were not there in 3.01, is these some kind of bug?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Can you put an example of your particular layout on apex.oracle.com. The solution I had worked in most of the case's I tested , obviously yours is different.
    The next best solution would be to either shim the items with images, or to specifically set the widths of the containing table cells.
    The reason all this is happening is sometimes , depending on the region templates and CSS the regions will collapse down on the content, and the the browsers will do there best to fit the content in the smallest place possible, Unfortunately, in some cases the browsers ignore both nowrap="nowrap" and/or style="white-space:nowrap", why would I want to put nowrap on something and still have it wrap, I don't know it's not me it's the browsers.
    The solution in the patch I'm leaning towards is wrap item into a table. As it will work perfectly everywhere , and greatly annoy people that want tableless layouts, but that won't be available till the patch.

  • New Date Picker and JAWS

    I am trying to make my APEX applications more ADA section 508 compliant for the visually impaired without sacrificing functionality for the non-visually impaired.
    I would prefer to use the new APEX 4.0 Date Picker based on jQuery; however, it is not compatible/spoken by a Screen Reader such as JAWS. The classic date picker is compatible with a Screen Reader but is not nearly as nice or customizable.
    The APEX 4.0 Release Notes state:
    The new inline date pickers used in the Oracle Application Express are not usable with a screen reader.
    Workaround:The only workaround available currently is to enter the date manually into the date input field.
    This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 9740473.
    Are there any plans afoot to make this new date picker "screen readable"?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    we are a little bit dependent here when the folks of jQueryUI (http://www.jqueryui.com) are making improvements in that area. It might would help if you post in the jQueryUI forum as well.
    But what we could do for 4.1 if no newer version of jQueryUI is available which addresses this accessibility issues, we could fallback to the "Classic Date Picker" if the application is running in "Screenreader Mode". Sighted users would still get the nice jQueryUI based date picker.

  • Using Date Picker on form causes session values to be cleared on validation

    Got a really weird problem on a form (on a report). We have a basic form which has a date picker on. The form fires a number of bog standard validations when the Create button is clicked (values filled in, values are numbers etc).
    When a validation fails, the values inputted by the user are retained. So far so good. However, when the user selects a date, and a validation fails, all the session values are all cleared (not just the date picker) and they have to fill everything in again.
    At first we thought there must be a process resetting the page items - nothing. Also recreated the page from scratch and it still doesn't work. Strangely, the problem goes away if we change the date picker to a text field. Also, if the user doesn't select a date, the other session values are retained.
    Are we doing something daft here or is this a bug?

    Yes - we're using inbuilt validation to ensure it's a valid date. We tried turning this off and it makes no difference, the problem is still there.
    We tried changing the date picker to a text field and using the same validation (i.e. check it's a date) and this works fine. This is why we think it might be a bug.

  • Date picker not showing up in iOS Reader with multiple dates?

    Hi all,
    The date picker for iOS shows up for forms with a single date box. However, with multiple forms, the keyboard pops up instead of the date picker. It still handles correctly formatting-wise, but it's become a bit of hassle with having to type the date instead of simply filling out today. Is this a bug or by design?

    Hi jncasino,
    We are not able to reproduce this issue at our end. Could you please share the file having this issue to help us investigate and fix this issue?

  • Date picker in a popup window

    Hi all,
    There are 2 pages, page 1 contains a button, when user click on it, a new window will popup showing page 2 which is a entry form has a date picker item.
    The javascript behind the button in page 1 is like: (in target URL field.)
    javascript:popupURL('f?p=101:2:&SESSION.');
    It works fine except the date picker window wouldn't popup again in the second page. If I run the 2nd page individually it works well, it doesn't work only if I run it in a popup window.
    Is this a bug or something? How can we fix it.
    Many thanks!
    Pete

    Hello Pete,
    >> It works fine except the date picker window wouldn't popup again in the second page. If I run the 2nd page individually it works well, it doesn't work only if I run it in a popup window.
    You are using the ‘popupURL’ function, which uses a hard coded value – WinLov – for the ‘name’ parameter. That could be a problem in a recursive call.
    Patrick solution is of course valid, but if you want to use a popup window format, try using the ‘popUp2’ function. The function generates a “random” name, so the problem should be solved.

    Arie.

  • Apex 3.1 Upgrade Issue - dba_lock and date picker display

    A couple of minor issues I've seen with my upgrade from 3.0.1 to 3.1. Just wondered if anyone else has seen them and if anyone has a simple fix for the date picker problem :
    1. DBA_LOCK - the upgrade process itself complains about the SYS.DBA_LOCK view not existing - easily remedied by running catblock.sql before you start the upgrade (but not listed as a pre-req)
    2. DATE PICKER display - I have a date picker item in a navigation region - before the upgrade the calendar icon happily appeared directly to the right of the date cell, since the upgrade the icon has moved to underneath the cell, messing up the look and feel. (Also the size of the pop up calendar doesn't quite fit its contents now and you have to resize to see the close and ok buttons )
    Any confirmation that others can replicate the second issue or a quick fix would be very helpful.
    Many thanks,
    Rich.

    Rich,
    >> Unfortunate that something has changed between 3.0 and 3.1 then that will require us to change the formatting. Hopefully not too much work to sort out a form region that looks the same though.
    I know the templates were revised for APEX 3.1, but that should not have affected existing applications. So you're saying that application used a Navigation Template before just fine without issues? I'll ask Carl to investigate.
    >> The issue of the default size of the pop up window cutting off the buttons at the bottom still remains in your example however. (obviously users can resize it but not ideal)
    Well, that really sucks. The worst thing we can do is break the behavior of existing applications, and it appears we've done it here. I filed Bug 6864371 on this issue. We'll get it fixed in the very first patch set for APEX 3.1.

  • Date Picker (Application Format Mask) YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI

    I am experience what appears to be a bug with the Date Picker (Application Format Mask) that is causing the "DD" portion of the format mask to be interpreted as "CC" (when using a YYYY-MM-DD Application format).
    Within "Application Builder", "Edit Attributes" I have defined a "Static Substitution Strings" with the required Substitution String of PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK and a Substitution Value of "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI" (without the quotes).
    When this is used within the application, and I select a date of "January 15, 2008 @ 23:14", the date picker gives me a date of "2008-01-20 23:14". If I were to change the Year to 1957, the date I get is "1957-01-19 23:14". Note that if the century is 20, no matter what day of the month I pick, I get DD=20. If the century is 19, the day of the month is always 19.
    I have also tested this with a format of YYYY-DDD HH24:MI. With this format too, the DDD gets set to the century portion of the year.
    DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI format does work, however this is not the format that my end users want to see. They want to see the format as "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI"
    If I change the PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK to "YY-MM-DD HH24:MI" and pick "Feb 8, 1977" I get "77-02-28" and if I pick "January 9, 1921" I get "21-01-31" which just happens to be the last day of the month in each of those case.
    So, something really weird is happen with the "Application Format Mask" Date Picker.
    Please note, that because of a known bug (relating to the translation of the Browser Language of "en-ca" to the propery NL_LANG of ENGLISH_CANADA) refer to
    HTMLDB - HOWTO Work with Dates
    I am executing the following code in my first "On Load - Before Header" and my first "On Submit - After Computations and Validations"
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT=''YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI''' ;
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=''FRENCH''' ;
    Could you please investigate this problem.

    Paul,
    Thank you for the feedback and detailed reporting of this issue.
    This is a previously identified bug with the computation of the day component of the popup calendar.
    This correction will be available with the next HTML DB patch set and/or the release of HTML DB available later this year.
    Thanks again.
