Change from SelectList to Popup LOV, Onchange Javascript breaks. Apex 3.2.1

Hi,
I have a pretty standard piece of Javascript that populates two page items based upon the result of a select list.
I'd like to change the select list to a Pop-Up LOV, but this breaks the functionality.
I presume that I need to use a different var get function, however, have had no luck in trialing different solutions.
Can anyone help?
Details Below.
Regards-
Ronald.
Function Overview:
Select List P4_PRODUCT_ID selects two product parameters: area and item, and puts them into P4_AREA_ID and P4_ITEM_ID.
P4_AREA_ID and P4_ITEM_ID are pop up LOV's and happily accept the text input.
I wish to change P4_PRODUCT_ID to also be a pop up LOV, but when doing so, it breaks the dynamic functionality.
CODE:
Select List: P4_PRODUCT_ID
HTML Form Element Attributes: onchange="pull_multi_value(this.value)";P4 Page Header:
You'll see that I've tried several methods, none worked. Am I using the wrong one?
<script type="text/javascript">

</script> Application Process: Set_Multi_ItemsDECLARE
v_area VARCHAR2 (200);
v_item VARCHAR2 (200);
CURSOR cur_c
IS
SELECT AREA_ID, ITEM_ID
FROM PRODUCTS
WHERE PRODUCT_ID = TO_NUMBER (v ('PRODUCT_ID'));
BEGIN
FOR c IN cur_c
LOOP
v_area := c.AREA_ID;
v_item := c.ITEM_ID;
END LOOP;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P4_AREA_ID">' || v_area || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P4_ITEM_ID">' || v_item || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P4_AREA_ID">' || SQLERRM || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
END;

Looking at all that code, I can suggest one way of debugging the issue(Its a bit hard to guess what went in this case,particularly when the problem could be at so many places).
1. Run your PLSQL as an anonymous block and check if the generated XML structure is what you expect.
2. Check Firebug Console (if you have it) if an ajax request is send when the item is changed.
3. Print out the return XML as a string on the screen so that you can make sure it what you wanted(use alert function or append to some page element)
4. Now try your XML parser JS section starting with the obtained XML as a static variable, trying printing out the parsed out values at different stages
5. Setting the page items shouldn't be much of a trouble if everything else worked fine.
Some Observations: If you are on Apex 4.0 wouldn't a Dynamic Action save you all this trouble (Two SetValue processes). Even otherwise you seem to be fetching two id's from the Ondemand process..Can't you just concatenate them with some separator and send that as the result stream(htp.p), handling them in JS would be simple using the split function. If the data is more complex you could return it as a JSON string and parse it with fewer lines of code.
Found a problem with the code :
get.add('PRODUCT_ID',pValue)Do you have a page item by that name(PRODUCT_ID) ? else change it to
get.add('P4_PRODUCT_ID',pValue)and change the following in ur PLSQL process code
PRODUCT_ID = TO_NUMBER (v ('PRODUCT_ID'));to
PRODUCT_ID = TO_NUMBER (v ('P4_PRODUCT_ID'));But as I said earlier, Debugging it step by step might be easier.

Problems with popup lov in report in Apex 4.0.2.00.08 XE 11g is a bug?

I had a report in Apex 3.2 in XE 10g. The type of field was popup lov(editable)
i defined a trigger on change to load data from database and fill anothers fields.
to know in wich row change this field i have the nex javascript code
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
in this release works fine and return 1 (0001) for the first rows, etc etc
in the new version 4.0.2.00.08 in XE 11g the same code return 0000, but if i put a trigger in a field(column)(editable too) of the same row returns 0001, Is this a bug? or in apex 4 change the ordinal of rows for popup lovs only?
thanks
The current version of apex is 4.0.2.00.08 XE 11g (the release included with the database ) and runs in Windows Vista and internet explorer 8

when i put the mouse over the popup lov in release 3.2 , on the console bar i can see javascript:genList0_f01_0() for the first record and javascript:genList0_f01_1() for the second
in release 4 and 4.1 javascript:genList0_f01_$_row() for the first record and javascript:genList0_f01_1() for the second, i think this is my problem......

Hello, maybe someone could figure this one out.
I have a file that I have done on CS5.5 and everything works fine, just simple ActionScript 2 and a script: on (release) { getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://xxxxxxx.html','thewin','height=800,width=800,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,top=560,left= 140')"); }

Select lists empty or POPup LOV needed with redirect

Hi all,
I have a form where i need 6 select lists with redirect or 6 POPup LOV with redirects.
These select lists are separated in three groups
like this
group 1
departments select list with redirect
employees popup lov (query based on the value of department)
group2
Order select list with redirect
OrderItem popup lov but needs a redirect here for employees (query based on the value of countries)
employees popup lov (query based on the value of department)
group 3
some status select list with redirect
When I choose the first select list the popup LOV is populated with good values
when i select a value from the second select list the value in the first list disappears, including the value of the first popup lov. etc.
How is it possible to keep the values stored in the first selects list when selecting some value of the second list.
How is is possible to make a popup lov with redirect so that the values are in session
and can be used in another popup lov?
Is someone there who have experiences with this issue?
thanks in advance,
Hugo

Hi Hugo,
I don't think that you need a redirect for that. Check out my AJAX cascading popup lov solution.

Change Popup LOV template to put more spacing between rows

I am trying to change the popup lov template to include a bit more spacing between the rows in the result set. So instead of seeing
Test 1
Test 2
I want to see
Test 1
Test 2
Looking at the html produced the rows are returned from a bit of javascript (using arrays and passback) and I can't figure out where to add anything that will change the spacing ie cellspacing doesn't do anything.
The line I am interested in is - replace ( for < and ) for >
document.writeln("(br /)(a href=\"javascript:passBack(v[1], v2[1]);\")Test(/a)");
If I could just add a br at the close a tag...
Does anyone have any ideas on this. I'm not keen to code a new popup lov, I was just wanting to tweak the existing.
many thanks

Hello,
" I know this style isn't directly related to the t5PopupBody as you have suggested but it doesn't seem to make a difference"Your syntax will apply the new style to every link on your pop-up window. As there is non-others then the results, in this case it will make no difference.
" I did something slightly different so I didn't have to worry about changing the css"That is OK, as long as you remember all the changes you are making to the original templates, because after upgrading – like in the near future to version 3 – some of the changes might disappear. That is why I prefer to use my own CSS file, on top of the original one.

How to get the value from one Popup lov column to another popup lov column

Hi,
I am new to oracle apex development and having the below issue.
In my application, there is a tabular form with 15 columns ( c1.. c15).
I have to populate the value of column C5 based on the selected(from popup lov) value of column C3, tried to use onchange, but didn't help much.
Any help please.
Thanks and Regards,

Oh boy, this is a fun one.
onchange should work theoretically (in this example, assume that f05 is the target column that should be set and "this" is the source item whose value is to be transferred to f05 on the same row (row 2)):
onchange=$s('f05_0002',$v(this));
BUT the catch is of course that needs to be different for every row (can't hardcode the '2'), so you need something to dynamically create the row number component.
I wrote this for an app I'm working on that uses master-detail forms heavily (I also wrote a lot more code to read the fmap array that is in v4 so that I can reference my cells via their column name and not the numeric position (so "f05 can be determined w/o hard coding), insulating against columns moving around, columns being made display-only etc. but I won't bore you with that here unless you really need to know).
function getRow(pObj)
{ //Pass in an object reference to a tabular form cell and get back an integer
//derived from the object ID.
var vRow=pObj.id.substr(pObj.id.indexOf("_")+1);
if (isNaN(vRow))
    return (null);
return (parseInt(vRow,10));
function formatRow(pRow)
{ //Pass in an integer and it'll be returned as the tabular form cell ID suffix
//(e.g.: pass in 1 and get back string "_0001").
//Used in building ID references to tabular form cells.
if((isThingEmpty(pRow)) || (isNaN(pRow)))
    return(null);
var vRow=pRow.toString();
while(vRow.length<4)
    vRow="0"+vRow;
return("_"+vRow);
}Therefore:
onchange=$s('f05_'+formatRow(getRow(this)),$v(this));
So in essence, pass in "this" which will be a reference to the current item, largely to determine what row we're on. getRow will return 1, 2, 3, etc. formatRow will take that and return 0001, 0002, 0003, etc. Once that is done, it'll concatenate with the f05 and f04 to refer to the correct columns (determining f05, f04, etc. dynamically is another matter if you really need to but I didn't want to complicate this answer too much at once).
Note: above I also use a isThingEmpty() function that I wrote. It does nothing other than check the item for an empty string, if the item is null, etc. Just do your own evaluation of empty-string, no-value, etc. there.
It would indeed be nice though if Apex had a better way to delclaratively access the tabular form items though. Despite all the v4 enhancements, tabular forms were not entirely upgraded to the same full functionality of page items.

Change Font in Popup LOV?

Hello All,
Apex 3.1
I need the font size for a value returned from a Popup LOV to be much smaller. How would I modify the popup LOV template in order to change the font of the values in the LOV, or if not the LOV itself, the font size of the return item?
Thanks!

Hi
Go to Shared Components > Templates > Popup List of Values
There you will find the name of CSS which is being used with this LOV. You need to change the CSS to get the required fonts.

Change Colour of PopUp Lov

I have the following code for a popup lov

order by res, a, bWhat I want to do is dispaly the result of the first select statement in red
and the second in blue

Apex 3.2Don't have 3.2 around to experiment with. If the above doesn't work in 3.2 then I'm inclined to think that it isn't going to. Which is odd as the indications are that the restrictions were introuced in APEX 4.0:
<li>{thread:id=1338180}
<li>{thread:id=2126522}
Part of the problem is that LOVs rendered as select lists (which is most common) cannot contain HTML elements ( +{thread:id=898835}+ ), but the less common Pop-up LOV renderings can.
If this is a critical requirement, then 2 possibilities come to mind:
1. Fairly complex modification of the Pop-up Page/LOV templates to include JavaScript/AJAX that will execute for this list, figure out how many entries need to be each colour, and iterate over the options adding the require styles.
OR
2. Use a report on a pop-up page rather than an LOV.
Both look like more trouble than this is worth.

Javascript error on List Manager (Popup LOV)

Hi all,
I have a problem with checkboxes and list managers (based on popup LOV).
I have a form containing several checkboxes and list managers; in a region of the form (the one before the last one) I have 10 checkboxes but just the first one work, the other ones give me this error when I tried to insert a record:
ORA-20001: Errore in DML: p_rowid=21, p_alt_rowid=ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-20001: Valore numerico :1 non valido per la colonna EDUCATION (it's italian, the translation for the last part is "numerical value :1 not valid for the EDUCATION column).
Furthermoe, I have problems with list managers too: when I open the popup for some of them and choose the value from the popup window, I get a Javascript error: "Obejct doesn't support this property or method"; some (just some) of the list managers works.
The strange thing is that if I delete a list manager or a checkbox, another list manager or checkbox starts to work, as if it was a rule about the max total number of list manager/checkboxes.
I want to highlight that the total number of items in the form is less than 100.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Matteo

Hi,
The issue is because Apex actually generates TWO items for each List Manager items and both of these count towards the maximum of 100 items per page. As an example - this is ONE list manager item from my test page:
<fieldset id="P222_LM1" class="listmanager">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary="">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<noscript>
JavaScript not supported
</noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<fieldset id="P222_LM1_ADD_fieldset" class="lov">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" id="P222_LM1_ADD_holder" class="lov" summary="">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="lov">
<input type="text" id="P222_LM1_ADD" value="" maxlength="2000" size="27" name="p_v99"/>
</td>
<td>
<a href="javascript:genList0_p_v99_()">
<img width="13" height="13" alt="Popup Lov" src="/i/list_gray.gif"/>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</fieldset>
</td>
<td>
<input type="button" onclick="appendToList(document.forms[0].p_v99.value.toUpperCase(), document.forms[0].p_v02);document.forms[0].p_v99.value=''" value="Add" name=""/>
<input type="button" onclick="deleteListElement(document.forms[0].p_v02)" value="Remove" name=""/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<select id="P222_LM1_LISTMGRDATA" width="225" multiple="multiple" size="10" prompt="" name="p_v02">
<option>8021
</option>
<option>8001
</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</fieldset>Note that the popup item is p_v99 and the list item is p_v02.
Question to the Apex developers:
Given that the popup item does not really need to be submitted with the page, could this not use a different naming convention?

Bold value from popup LOV

Hi,
style="font-weight:bold" or class="fielddatabold" in the element's HTML Form Element Attributes work perfectly for the text field. I cannot get the same result for field with disp.value from popup LOV (display value,return key). I can change font family for example, but cannot bold. Any suggestions ?

Thanks a lot for your answer. I got the same idea, but cannot see any place to manage returned values on this template. Description from pop-up key LOV seems to be turned "disabled", and will get the grey colour on the screen. However, if I will change to Select list, it looks fine.

Passing Request to a POPUP LOV from previous page

Hi All,
I'm stuck again :( and its urgent..
I have a popup LOV and i want to populate values in it based on REQUEST coming from first page.
If I click CREATE on first page POPUP LOV should display certain values and if I click UPDATE on first page, it should populate different set of values.
Also when I navigate further from this page and return back, the LOV's should have values based on previous request selected.
For this I have created an item P_REQ which stores value of request from first page i.e :P_REQ wil have values CREATE or UPDATE.
Now I'm able to pass this value to a select list. However a POPUP list is not able to fetch this P_REQ value.
MY query for LOV is as below
select d1 d ,r1 r
from
(select name d1 ,ID r1,'C' up_cr
FROM Client
'WHERE statusid in (1,3)
union
select name d1,ClientID r1,'U' up_cr
FROM Client_List)
where up_cr = decode(:P_REQ,'CREATE','C','U')
ORDER BY d1
Kindly help.. Its Urgent..

Hi,
If you use that computation to set the value of P_REQ it is actually also saving it in the session. The value stored can then be retrieved by the popup LOVs query using :P_REQ so you don't need to pass the value at all as it is already available.
To see this, go to: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33642:237] The list of employees has INSERT or UPDATE in the final column. This is used in the link on the EMPNO column as the "Request" setting. This link passes you to another page which uses the computation to set the value in P238_REQUEST (this is displayed on the screen). Then you have a link to "Open popup". All this does is open another page which has a region with a source of: Request value: &P238_REQUEST.

APEX 4.0 - AJAX not working with Popup LOV field

Hello,
In the application I have built I have three fields which are 'feeded' by selects via a AJAX construction.
All three fields are based on three others, which are PopUp LOV fields. Up to version 3.2 I had no problems: the fields were 'refreshed' as expected when in the 'parent' field a specific value was entered or choosen by the Popup Lov selector.
But since the migration to APEX-4 (lin a test-system) all the three fields are not correctly refreshed anymore: two of them give the value 'undefined', the third, which is a select-list shows values, but at the moment I try to click on the select-list down arrow to pick a value, the list is emptied and stays that way.
More specific about the third field:
item 1 is a popup-lov defined item in which a user can type a value, but can also choose a value from a popup-lov. Item 2 is based on item-1: it does a select based on the value of item-1 and refreshes a select-list. Item-2 is defined as a select list.
I got it all working when making item-1 also a select list, but since the list can become very large, I made a Popup lov of it. Most users do know what code they have to enter and in case somebody is not sure, the lov can be used.
In this forum I came across a problem with AJAX callback, which was answered by Patrick Wolf, saying that in an htmldb_Get ( ... ,0) the last 0 should be replaced by $v('pFlowStepId'), but this did not fix my problem. I have the feeling that the problem is somewhre else, since on first hand, after entering a value in item-1 I see item-2 refreshed with the correct values, but the moment I try to select one item, the list is emptied.....
I hope I made it clear what my problem is and that somebody can help me, else APEX-3.2 was the latest version for this application....
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Jan.

Hi Jan,
the problem is the
onBlur="javascript:f_P21_select_kostenposten(this,'P21_KOSTENPOST');"on P21_GBREKNR. This is getting attached to the HTML input text field but as well the the anchor link which opens the popup. So when you leave the text field the cursor will be put onto the icon to open the Popup LOV. When you press tab another time or leave the anchor link by clicking somewhere the above JavaScript function is fired again. But the problem is that "this" this time points to the anchor and not the text item anymore, so it will return an invalid value when you access this.value in your f_P21_select_kostenposten function which results in an empty result of your on-demand call.
I still have to investigate why the above JavaScript code is now added to the anchor link as well. But as a workaround, just change your code to
onChange="javascript:f_P21_select_kostenposten(this,'P21_KOSTENPOST');"which is better anyway, because it's just firing when the value really got changed. And because the anchor link can't really be changed, the event will never fire when you leave the anchor. BTW you can use the Application Search feature to search for all your onBlur events. onChange is much better than onBlur because it doesn't fire that often unintended.
But if you want to use some of the new APEX 4.0 features, you could use the cascading LOV feature of APEX 4 and avoid all this JavaScript and on-demand code which you have written.
I have changed your application to take use of it.
1) I changed the LOV query for P21_KOSTENPOST from
select '('||replace(lpad(gbreknr, 3, chr(1)),chr(1),' ')||') '|| omschrijving d, kostenpost r
from kostenposten
where vervallen is null
and bedrijf = :P21_BEDRIJF
order by gbreknr, kostenpostto
select '('||replace(lpad(gbreknr, 3, chr(1)),chr(1),' ')||') '|| omschrijving d, kostenpost r
from kostenposten
where vervallen is null
and bedrijf = :P21_BEDRIJF
and (:P21_GBREKNR is null or gbreknr = :P21_GBREKNR)
order by gbreknr, kostenpostas it was in your on-demand process. The query will return all values if P21_GBREKNR is null but will restrict it if the field is filled out.
2) Set "Cascading LOV Parent Item(s)" to P21_BEDRIJF,P21_GBREKNR Because based on your LOV query I assume "Kostenpost" should be refreshed if one of the two fields gets changed.
3) Set "Optimize Refresh" to No because one of your parent items (P21_GBREKNR) can contain a null value.
4) Removed the onBlur/onChange from P21_GBREKNR
5) Removed the *%null%* from the "Null Return Value" attribute of P21_BEDRIJF, because that will cause a ORA-1722 if someone picks "-- kies: --"
That's it.
Have a look at dynamic actions and the "Set Value" action as well, because I think that could remove your other on-demand calls as well without having to write any JavaScript code.
I will still investigate what's going on with the anchor link in APEX 4.0

Example: Cascading Popup LOVs (Solution using Ajax)

If you need popup LOVs to depend on each other, here's a way to do it:
Put this in the header text of the page:
<script type="text/javascript">
function clearFormData(data) {
var items = new Array();
items.push(data);
for (var i = 0; i < items.length;i++) {
var item = items;
document.getElementById(item).value = '';
if (document.getElementById(item+'_HIDDENVALUE')) document.getElementById(item+'_HIDDENVALUE').value = '';
return true;
function setSessionData(data) {
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,document.getElementById('pFlowId').value,null);
var items = new Array();
items.push(data);
for (var i = 0;i < items.length;i++) {
var item = items[i];
var tempObjID = (document.getElementById(item+'_HIDDENVALUE')) ? item+'_HIDDENVALUE' : item;
get.add(item, document.getElementById(tempObjID).value);
get.get();
return true;
</script>
These are some helper functions (makes it easier to port to other pages, you could also put them in an external js file).
Now on the second (or whatever) popup LOV (one that needs the value of another), put following code into the field "Form Element Option Attributes":
[i]onclick="setSessionData('P1_FIRST_POPUP')"
Change "P1_FIRST_POPUP" into the id/name of the popup LOV that the second depends on.
Now to clear the second one (if there is already something in it) you can put this into the "Form Element Option Attributes" field of the first popup LOV:
onclick="clearFormData('P1_SECOND_POPUP')"
Change the "P1_SECOND_POPUP" into the id/name of the popup LOV that depends on the first one.
If you need more than one item to be set in the session use the javascript functions like this:
onclick="setSessionData(['P1_FIRST_POPUP','ANOTHER_ITEM';'AND_SO_ON'])"
onclick="clearFormData(['P1_SECOND_POPUP','ANOTHER_ITEM';'AND_SO_ON'])"
This is the best solution I figured out so far for cascading popups.

If you need cascading select boxes it's better to use this solution: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:37 .
Edit:
- works now regardless of being logged in or not, I just forgot to take ou the 0 in the htmldb_Get call (=> always
sent the session id "0", which didn't exist)
- added a link to the demonstration

excellent tip for using ajax to update session state.
one small change to share:
function setSessionData() {
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,document.getElementById('pFlowId').value,null,null);
for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
var item = arguments\[i\];
var tempObjID = (document.getElementById(item+'_HIDDENVALUE')) ? item+'_HIDDENVALUE' : item;
get.add(item, document.getElementById(tempObjID).value);
get.get();
return true;
set 4th argument to htmldb_Get constructor to null.. causes the script to retrieve the value from the hidden form field, rather than being set explicitely.
just noticed this code is different from the demo, which does set a static value of 2. Tempted to hit cancel, but maybe this can avoid someone else a lot of head scratching.
also, was having issues with Array.push() during debugging to find the above issue.. and changed the way html form element id(s) are passed to the function; opted to use the implicit "arguments" array instead. Minor, but worth noting.
thanks again for the useful piece of code.
edit:
this wiki doesn't parse brackets well; added char escapes so they'll show.. will need to remove by hand.

Popup lov in a report is not working if I have an order by caluse

I created a form manually using the document from the url:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/tabular_form.html#MANUAL
I used the following query from that document.
select htmldb_item.hidden(1,empno) empno,
ename,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(3,job,'select distinct job, job from emp') job,
htmldb_item.popupkey_from_query(4,mgr,'select ename, empno from emp',10) mgr,
wwv_flow_item.date_popup(6,null,hiredate) hiredate,
htmldb_item.text(7,sal,10) sal,
htmldb_item.text(8,comm,10) comm,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(9,deptno,'select dname, deptno from dept') deptno
from emp
This works fine.
But if I add an order by clause to the query the popup key for mgr column doesn't work.
select htmldb_item.hidden(1,empno) empno,
ename,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(3,job,'select distinct job, job from emp') job,
htmldb_item.popupkey_from_query(4,mgr,'select ename, empno from emp',10) mgr,
wwv_flow_item.date_popup(6,null,hiredate) hiredate,
htmldb_item.text(7,sal,10) sal,
htmldb_item.text(8,comm,10) comm,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(9,deptno,'select dname, deptno from dept') deptno
from emp
order by ename
Is this a bug ?
Is there a work around ?
Thanks
Chandra.

Chandra,
Please refrain from asking the exact same question twice. It doesn't help the quality of this forum. If you have to, "bump" an existing unanswered question up (wait a day or two, please) in case it fell through the cracks.
Now for the answer:
select htmldb_item.hidden(1,empno) empno,
ename,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(3,job,'select distinct job, job from emp') job,
htmldb_item.popupkey_from_query(4,mgr,'select ename d, empno r from emp',10) mgr,
wwv_flow_item.date_popup(6,null,hiredate) hiredate,
htmldb_item.text(7,sal,10) sal,
htmldb_item.text(8,comm,10) comm,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(9,deptno,'select dname, deptno from dept') deptno
from (select * from emp order by ename)
Use an inline view like in the example above to do the sorting first. If you sort a result set that includes Popup LOVS, then the Javascript used to populate the text fields doesn't work anymore.

Change from SelectList to Popup LOV, Onchange Javascript breaks. Apex 3.2.1
