Calling a page from a button url

Can you give me a hint how to call (branch to) a page from a button which is placed behind an item in a region. If I choose button to be a HTML button this should be possible. I think it's documented in User Guide Page 6-22. But description is not very informative. It's easy to do if the button is in a region position.
Regards Christoph

Christoph,
For buttons in region positions the branches can be associated with the button by picking the button from the "When Button Pressed" select list. For buttons displayed among the region items, you need to conditionally branch based on the request send by the button. Assuming you already created the button and a branch that takes you to the target page, edit the button, scroll down to "Button Request Value" and type in your request string, e.g. BUTTON_PRESSED. Then edit your branch, and make it conditionally based on a request "Request = Expression 1" and type in your request string BUTTON_PRESSED into the Expression 1 field.
Hope this helps,
Marc

Calling a Procedure from a Button? (REVISITED)

Hi All,
I once asked a question Re: Calling a Procedure from a Button? & that problem was resolved when i was working on the online ApEx.
On my application, requirements have changed a bit: I have one form based on two tables. One table contributes two fields (name & surname) to the form while the remaining fields are contributed by another table to make a total of 17 fields on the form.
My process is in such a way that a user enters an id number & clicks Search button, if the apllicant exists then both name & surname corresponding with the id number will be retrieved from the database. If the applicant does not exist then an error message will be displayed inline with the id number field. Here's the PL/SQL anonymous block to that:
DECLARE
vNAME APPLICANTS.name%TYPE;
vSURNAME APPLICANTS.surname%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT count(*)
INTO :P2_COUNT
FROM applicants
WHERE id_number = :P2_ID_NUMBER;
IF :P2_COUNT > 0 THEN
SELECT name,surname
INTO vNAME, vSURNAME
FROM applicants
WHERE id_number = :P2_ID_NUMBER;
:P2_NAME := vNAME;
:P2_SURNAME := vSURNAME;
ELSE
apex_application.g_print_success_message := '<span style="color:red">Applicant does not exist.</span>';
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
apex_application.g_print_success_message := '<span style="color:red">Exception Caught.</span>';
END;The PL/SQL block works except for error displaying part (but that's a problem for another day).
NB: On my application, there’s already Automated Row Fetch & Automatic Row Processing (DML) processes for one table. Furthermore, there is also a javascript for verifying the validity of an id number. As a result, I decided to include Automated Row Fetch & Automatic Row Processing (DML) processes for the other table. When I click a Search button the javascript is activated even though I did not specify a URL target for the button - because this is a simple button among region items – it does not have Optional Url Redirect section.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here - any help is appreciated.

Kamo

Hi Dan,
Sorry for causing confusion with my post - it's just that I was asking the same question (with different constraints) as I had asked before so I didn't feel like going to details was necessary because in my post I included a link to the previous thread. Interestingly, I was working on apex.oracle.com when I posted the original thread - the only problem came to be when I started to move the solution to my application on my machine.
Anyway, thanks for the response!

Calling a Procedure from a Button?

Hi All,
I'm using Oracle Application Express 11g & I'm currently working on an application. One of the requirements for this particular application is that a user has to be able to enter an applicant's id number (in the id textfield) & if a user clicks a button then they should be able to check in the db whether the applicant exists or not. If the applicant exists then name & surname textfields should be populated with values from the database corresponding to the id number & all these three textfields should be read only. If the applicant doesn't exist then the user will be directed to a page where he/she will fill in new applicant's details.
So, I wrote the following procedure to do that:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE search_applicant(
P17_APPLICANT_IDNUMBER IN FIR_APPLICANT.applicant_idnumber%TYPE,
P17_NAME OUT FIR_APPLICANT.name%TYPE,
P17_SURNAME OUT FIR_APPLICANT.surname%TYPE,
P17_COUNT IN FIR_CURRENCY.currency_id%TYPE) IS
BEGIN
SELECT count(*)
INTO P17_COUNT
FROM fir_applicant
WHERE applicant_idnumber = :P17_APPLICANT_IDNUMBER;
IF P17_COUNT > 0 THEN
SELECT name,surname
INTO P17_NAME, P17_SURNAME
FROM fir_applicant
WHERE applicant_idnumber = :P17_APPLICANT_IDNUMBER;
dbms_output.put_line('Name: ' || P17_NAME || ' & Surname: ' || P17_SURNAME);
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('Applicant does not exit.');
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Applicant does not exit.');
END;
So far I have not been able to find any help in this regard. I know how to invoke a javascript from a button but I'm not sure how to go about this one.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
THANK YOU
Kamo

Thanx PaulD & Chris,
Sorry for the delay in response - I couldn't implement the solutions you recommended for me. My ApEx instance is down (& has been for the past week). It finally dawned on me that I could recreate my problem @ apex.oracle.com. Please take a look at the following application & see if you can help:

PS: I have tried to call a Procedure from a button using a page process but it still couldn't work.
THANK YOU!

Calling ASP script from APEX button passing Bind variable

I am looking for some examples or best form for calling asp script from apex button that will pass apex bind variable to asp script to process.
Thanks,s
Bob

I am surprised by the degree of no replies. I have solved this by using asp redirects such as:
Response.Redirect("test.aspx?UserName="&user)
My formulated solution contains a page with a manually built interactive report. I have a number of bind variables at the top of the reoprt where users can query the information they want based on desginated database columns for this particular report. Once they have the "manual" interactive report displaying what they want, they click a button where a asp script is called with parameters passed that calls a Java based Crystal Reports plugin with the called correspnding report displayed with passed parameters.
Works like a charm!
This solves our reporting needs without having to resort to Bi Publisher (much too expensive) and other third party applications that kinda indicate it can work with apex but provide limited help or best form for doing so.

Why is Firefox no longer displaying Google's "Pages From Australia" button

Just wondering whether anyone could tell me how to restore the "Pages from Australia" button on the left-hand column of Firefox when you do a Google search. Being an Australian user, without this button Google just searches the entire web, instead of local sites only. There has always been a pages from Australia tab to narrow the search, and that tab still appears in Explorer and other browsers...so what happened to it suddenly in Firefox!?

Forget it! I found the answer in an old discussion. Just needed to turn off banner blocking in my anti-virus software.

Can I call JSP page from forms6i C/S?

Hi.
How can I call JSP page from forms6i Client/Server?
Flavio.

What is your problem with a host command? You can use:
host('c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe http://server/page.jsp');
There a disadvantage indeed: you have to close the browser before you can return to the form.

How to Call jsp page from plsql??
Please its urgent
Edited by: 883730 on Mar 19, 2012 12:05 AM

The best approach would be to change the behavior of your site so that it includes index.jsp as one of the default files. Typically that is done using the upper-level control files of the site. Here's a link from Sun that describes their approach.
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/WebApp4.html
Actually, you don't say what type of webserver you're using, so it's really hard to guess. But if you were using an Apache webserver, you might want to review the "DirectoryIndex" directive here...
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html
In fact, if you were using Apache and didn't want to do that, you could do a redirect to another page using the "redirect" directive in the webserver control files as described here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/en/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

How to popup a page from a button not in a region position

Hello.
I am using Apex 2.2.1. I have a form (not a report) on which I've placed a button that is positioned "among the items" as opposed to being placed in a specific region position.
When the button is clicked I would like to have another page popup. The problem is that I can get this to work only if the button is placed in a region position. With the button in a region position, I define the target to be a URL and then place a call to the popUp2 function, as in:
javascript:popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:32:&SESSION.::NO:::', 900, 700);
This works fine.
However, I need to position my button on the immediate right hand side of a form item. But when I create a button in such a position, I have no field in which to place the call to the popUp2() function. Instead, I have to create a "Branch to Page or URL" and then place my javascript call in the Branch field. Unfortunately, when I click the button, Apex wants to branch to page zero instead of the desired page. I saw that when I move the mouse over the button, Apex shows:
javascript: doSubmit('MY_BUTTON_REQUEST');
And, as mentioned, Apex tries to branch to page zero.
How does one call the popUp2() function from a button that is not placed in a region position?
Thank you for your help.
Elie

Hi Elie,
I had the same problem ... I only got it solved with creating a hidden item and adding the input-tag into the "Post Element Text" field.
Just have a look in the source code of your page, how a button is build and copy the necesaary code to the mentioned field. So you get a button with ApEx layout and can add your javascript call.

Calling Forms/Reports from a button

How to call a Report or a Form which had been developed using the Wizard from a button created in a region of a page flow?
National Steel
Harirajan

There are two ways to achieve this.
1) Assign a URL for the button to redirect to. You will have to use the f?p syntax to do this, so for example, if your FlowID is 100 and your page ID is 4, you could redirect to:
f?p=100:4:&SESSION
Note the use of the substitution variable for the user's session.
2) Create a branch that is fired by the button when the page is submitted. A branch is an instruction that tells the Flow which page to go to next. You only need to specify the page ID which has your form or report on it when you create the branch.
