Change textfield to textfield (disabled, saves state) programmatically

How can a normal textfield be changed programmatically to a textfield (disabled, save state).
I do not want to use the HTMLDB "Read Only" implementation.
Thanks in advance

Change programmatically textfield to textfield(disabled) , no Read Only

By pressing on a edit link of a report column I enter a page with a form
and would like to disable some of the textfields
I do not like to make them READ-ONLY , but to switch from
Text Field --> Text Field(disabled, saves state).
Maybe this is possible by using javascript ?
Any ideas ??

Hello,
you were right this is a solution.
Only the textfield(disabled,save state) has not a database column as source but
the source is the normal textfield. Or else there is a conflict because two textfields
address the same database column...
I wonder if it is possible to change the html properties of a textfield (input) conditionally, caus there exists the html property "disabled".

Javascript not working with 'Display as Text (does not saves state)'

Hi,
We have these following items in P3 of our application,
P3_EDIT_ACCOUNT Display as Text (saves state)
P3_USEFUL_LINKS Display as Text (saves state)
P3_LAST_APPROVED Display as Text (saves state)
P3_ARCHIVES Display as Text (saves state)
And we are initializing these items in a pl/sql process under 'Page Rendering'
For example,
:P3_ARCHIVES := '<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> ';
When our environment was upgraded from HTMLDB1.5 to HTMLDB2.0,
instead of displaying the proper value of :P3_ARCHIVES,
it was displaying the tags,
i.e. instead of displaying 'Archives', it was displaying the whole
'<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> '
So, when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)' and it was working.
But then we have another problem,
We render the rest of the same page with another pl/sql block,
Here is a portion from that pl/sql for your reference,
htp.p('
<script>
//Script to check the status change.
//The script source is rendered through PL/SQL.
function checkStatus()
var promptStr = someString;
if(ans.toUpperCase() == "AMBER" || ans.toUpperCase() == "RED")
          var cnfm = confirm(promptStr);
          if(cnfm)
          do something....
</script>
htp.print('
<td width="5%" bgcolor="#ebebc5" height="19" align="middle" >
<input TYPE="radio" name="'||l_g_fnumber||'" value="GREEN"');
IF l_allow_update THEN
     htp.print(' onClick="checkStatus()"');
ELSE
htp.print(' disabled onmousedown="return false;"');
                    do something....
Now the issue is , when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)', the checkStatus() function is not getting called in the onClick
event of the radio button and hence the confirm window for the call to
confirm(promptStr) is not coming up.
But if we revert back the items to 'Display as Text (saves state)',
the checkStatus() javascript function is getting called properly but html tags are displayed against the items instead of the proper value (as mentioned in ********)
Please do let us know a possible solution to this issue.
Thanks & Regards-
Rupak

Thanks Varad for your response.
This is the error i am getting.
1 error has occurred
PLSQL anonymous block source type can be used ONLY with Display Text (based on PLSQL) item type.
yes i am using in the source..
I also tried with the PL/SQL Expression of FUNCTION in this case it is executing the query but once i run the page ora- 06550 error occured.
Thanks

Display As Text (Does Not Save State) Render Behaviour

I suppose this is directed more at the Oracle team members (as most of my posts are...) than anyone else, but others might find this interesting.
It would seem when an item has a type of "Display As Text (Does Not Save State)" the item's value is output as pure text which shows up as text nodes under the TD cell. However if there is anything in the "HTML Form Element Attribute" text field on the "Edit Page Item" page, the APEX rendering engine will output a span tag with those attributes around the value of the item. If the attribute is left null, no span tag is output.
Further more, the span tag does not have an ID attribute. One can also not set the "HTML Form Element" text box to contain the text 'id="" ' as APEX will throw an error stating that you can not specify the id attribute. So if someone would happen to want to access/change the value via JavaScript (say after an Ajax request of a hidden id change), it requires a hack (setting the TD cell's ID to the page item's name), DOM inspecting/sniffing, outputting an ugly disabled text element, altering the flows user's tables, or altering the render cache.
Is there any reason, why this span tag is not always output with the ID attribute set?

Hello Andrew,
You are, of course, correct. The APEX engine does not use the item ID for the "Display as Text (does not save state)". However, if you need to manipulate the item, using JS, you can use the "Display as Text (save state)", which does use the item ID. The on-screen effect is the same, but the JS use is easier.
Your original question though, remains open.

Arie.

Display as text (based on LOV saves state) : possible border ?

Hi,
Like mentioned in the subject, I have many Display as text (based on LOV saves state). I would like to have a frame or a border around this field eventhough it's read only, like a regular field. How can I do that ?
thank you.

Depending on your visual requirements, you could change the items to Text Fields (disabled or not) then simply make the Read-Only atttribute set to "always" or something that would equate to "always". It would look just like a text field (since it would in fact be one), but would be read-only.
Sadly, this would require you to change all your items to the new type which would take time.

what is the name of your hostname? 'pun-idmqa-vm1'?
Try changing the hostname for another one with 8 characters...
good luck,

Where is "Display as Text (based on LOV, saves state)"

I am developing an application using the version of HTMLDB that comes with OracleXE.
I have a tabular form, in which the default column for a particular item is sourced from a previously entered item on another page. This is a lookup item and needs to be non-changeable by the user. So I want to use the "Display As" option "Display as Text (based on LOV, saves state)". However, this option is not available in the pull-down for "Display As". The option "Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)" is available, but using this option means that the item is not saved to the database.
Does anyone know why the stateful display as option is not available.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Scott, thanks for the feedback. The problem is that although the value is displayed correctly, it is NOT saved to the database. Effectively, header information is entered in a previous screen, and one of the entered fields is written to each of the detail lines associated with the header. We are re-platforming an existing application (written in an obscure form of basic), and at this stage changing the schema is not an option. So this header item (which is a foreign key to a "store" table), is meant to be written down to each line, on the screen displayed as the store name, and written to the inserted lines as the lookup id. If I use the dispaly as text save state option teh database is updated correctly, but displays the id rather than name on the screen. The only display as lov option i can see is the one that does not save state. If I use this option the screen displays as I want but the database is not updated. I need to use the display as lov saves state option. but i do not see it.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

Annoying [ ] with "Display as Text (based on LOV, saves state)"

Hi all,
I've got a form where some items are shown as “Display as Text”. These values are displayed normally.
But I also have some items which are shown as “Display as Text (based on LOV, saves state)”. When I run the page and these items don't return a value (because it isn't filled in in another page), we get the annoying []-sings.
Is there anyone who knows how to fix this, I just want to display nothing when there is no value.

I've tried this one already.
I tried to leave it blank, & nbsp ; , text,... but the problem is that our lov is build by a function and it always returns a query, so the LOV is never null.
I figured something out: made a process after header that has some cursors to get the values from the database and changed the item to a simple display as text-field. There were only 4 that were wrong, so it wasn't to much work.

Display As Text (based on LOV, saves state) "p_t03" was assigned by APEX

Hi All,
I have an ITEM
Name: P36_INT
Display As: Display As Text (based on LOV, saves state)
Output in my HTML:
[input type="hidden" name="p_t03" value="YES" />[span id="P36_INT">Interior[/span>
'p_t03' was assigned by APEX
In my Javascript I have to access it as the following to get the "YES" value:
var lintObj = html_GetElement('p_t03');
Originally it was 'p_t01' but it changed from 'p_t01' to 'p_t03' somehow.. out of my control.
How do I assign an ID or assign my own name to the "hidden" item?

Scott, thanks for the feedback. The problem is that although the value is displayed correctly, it is NOT saved to the database. Effectively, header information is entered in a previous screen, and one of the entered fields is written to each of the detail lines associated with the header. We are re-platforming an existing application (written in an obscure form of basic), and at this stage changing the schema is not an option. So this header item (which is a foreign key to a "store" table), is meant to be written down to each line, on the screen displayed as the store name, and written to the inserted lines as the lookup id.

The only display as lov option i can see is the one that does not save state. If I use this option the screen displays as I want but the database is not updated. I need to use the display as lov saves state option. but i do not see it.

Save State Form - dirty when bar codes added on print.

Hi All,
I have a form that is in a saved state. When it is printed bar codes are added on the preprint and removed on the post print. This "dirtys" the form. I have tried many ways to reset the dirty flag so that the form is still in a save state but nothing has worked.
Has anyone ever been successful in doing this using "event.target.dirty" or any other way?
I can get app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); to work but not app.execMenuItem("Save");
Thank you,
Barry

Hi,
I have an sample form for a similar case.
It uses a fuction to reset the dirty flag eveytime a 'animated' button changes it's color.
Have a look, it may be helpful for you

You cna do this with the security options in the PDF file itself, which you can set with Adobe Acrobat, assuming you have access to the security options in the first place.
