Create text area item within code in PLSQL region

I want to embed a text area item within a region that is purely PLSQL. I want the text area to appear within the region at a specific place I am defining by my PLSQL. I have been able to create the look I want but haven't been able to process what the user enters into the text area.
What I have now is something like this:
p_string := p_string || '<table width="100%"><tr><td><u>Comments:</u> ' || '<textarea name="p_t06" cols="100" rows="4" wrap="virtual" id="P15_COMMENTS" value=' || a1.arb_comments || '></textarea>'' || '</td></tr></table>';
I get the display I want but I can't do anything with the contents of :P15_COMMENTS. I presume I need an <input> tag? Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.
Bill

any replies on this?

Cant create text area

me and my friend created a website, him using adobe photoshop
with a .psd file, then he compiled it all and sent to me to be done
in dreamweaver.
the problem is i cant put any text over it because the images
mess up.
im not very good in dreamweaver. i tried putting a layer over
it and seemed to work, but when i look at it in firefox all the
text is to the left, i tried align but it still isnt where i want
it.
is there anyway i can put text over the images whereever i
want without messing up the design?
images are placed using simple table code
www.3x.tehcheese.com/test is the document

There's really no need to use positioning here at all.

Unable to create content area item for RDF-report

According to white paper "Security tips in Oracle Reports Services (release 6i with Portal 3.0)" I'm trying to integrate an Oracle Reports 6i RDF-module in my portal.
All goes well including running the report from de reports definition file.
However, when I want to create an item in the content area referencing the report, the report-application is not visible in the lov Application Components. The only aplication component I'm offered is "PEOPLE_APP: People".
Perhaps the following problems are related to this problem:
1) When looking for applications in the Portal Navigator, the report-application is missing in the applications list. However, after using the Find...-option the application is shown. Should report-definitions been shown ?
2) After installing rwwwvins.sql the package body WWV_RW_SB is invalid with errormessage "PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to SET_SSO_SESSION".
Can anybody help ?

One problem solved...
It appears that I should have stated the application as "Expose as Provider". After doing that the report appeared in the lov.
Unfortunately one problem still remains. The package WWV_RW_SB has errors causing the parameterform to fail. I've rerun the rwwwvins-script but the package body stays invalid.

Submit Query(SQL) from a text area from a form

Hi,
I have a form that has a big text area, while users can type in the SQL statement/query.
When user click on the button(say Submit). He/She should able to use the SQL query they input to query the tables.
In order to implement this, should I create a new page that will pass the value of the text area (SQL statement) and display it in that new page?
Or Is there a quick/easier way to do this?
Thanks,
Angela

Angela,
You could create a report region of type PL/SQL function returning SQL querry, and then return the value of your text area item, so you region source would be something like this:
return :PX_MY_QUERY;
When creating that report region, you'll have to use generic column names, since at design time, the query isn't known.
Regards,
Marc

Create todo & calendar items in mail

I have checked the customise toolbar and there are no options for this?
I hope you can help - otherwise i'll have to revert back to MS Office

Just drag a message onto the Calendar or Reminders icon in the Dock (or onto the open app).

Limiting char on a text area

If i use a text area item the form allows the users to type as much as they like which returns various DB errors. I would rather include some simple validation to limit the char of my text area than start messing about trapping errors and redirecting.
How can i limit the number of characters entered on my text area with some kind of validation.

this was for the apex forum pls ignore

Remove HTML tags from a text area

Hi, here is my problem:
I have a form with a text area item; this item is “Display as Editor HTML standard”. So it is possible to enter formatted text with tags HTML. Then I save the text in a table. In the column the text maintain the HTML tags. Afterwards I can put the text in a report, and I can see the formatted text with the tags HTML interpreted.
But I need also to use that text for other aims, (i.e. sending it in a mail) with the html tags removed.
Is there any way to remove HTML tags from a text item?

Limiting Char on text area

How can i limit the amount of char in a text area item. Can i do it with validation if so how. Trying to avoid DB error messages and trying to avoid having to catch them.

The javascript maxLength may work for your need.
Under element attributes for item you want to limit the text size enter the following in "HTML Form Element Attributes".
onFocus="javascript:this.maxLength=90;"
The example above will limit the text a user can type to 90 char for the item.
Read more about maxLength here.

Text wrap for a paragraph: How to define the width of a Text box / active text area? I simply need a longish text to wrap within the frame!

Hello, I've been searching for a good while in the forums now, but have found no solution or real mention of the problem – I hope some of you can help.
I want to very simply layout a text between scenes, a slightly longer text that wraps within the frame margins. Here's an example of how I want it to look:
Now, I couldn't for the life of me get the Custom Text to behave like that, as there are no parameters to set for the width of the text area. The Text Size, yes, along with the Tracking, Baseline and all that, but the width of the text box, no. The above was created by customizing one of the other Text Generator presets that happened to be left aligned.
However, this preset has a fade in/fade out transition, which I do not want. There's no way to remove this transition as it seems integrated into the Text Generator (meaning they are not really presets, but separate kinds of Text objects? Very silly.)
So I am asking you: Is there any way to get the Custom Text generator to behave like that? Just a text paragraph as above. Below you'll see all I can manage with the diffferent Custom Text parameters. Any kind of repositioning and resizing of the text just changes the position and size of the frame – but the actual text items are just cropped off where they extend out of that frame. Apparently the bounding box for the text is just some default length, and I can't find any way to adjust the width. See below my different attempts.
The same text pasted into a Custom Text generator clearly extends outside the frame:
Here Transform just moves – or resizes – the video frame that the Text Box exists inside:
The Crop gives similar results, and of course Distort doesn't get me closer to what I need, either. There should be simply a Text Box Width parameter to set somewhere, but if it exists they have hidden it very well. How do you do it?
Thanks for any help, this is a silly problem, but one of now many trivial problems that amount to me growing quite dissatisfied with FCPX. Hopefully I've just overlooked something.
All the best,
Thomas

Thomas...same kind of crap here.
I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
Set to 72 pt.
The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
Using Transform will not sort it!

How to assign the output of a function to a text area: a PLSQL challenge

I have a function that returns a PLSQL table of varchar4(4000)
Here is its signature in a package:
create or replace package researcher_request_pk
is
TYPE query_table_type is table of varchar2(4000) index by binary_integer;
FUNCTION RequestSQL(P_RRQ_ID in number) return query_table_type;
end;
I use this to get around the 32k limit on clobs and varchar2 variables
I want to assign the output of the function to a text area. I've tried the following PLSQL in a dynamic action and also as the source attribute of the Text Area but it doesn't populate the text area.
Here is the code i'm using
declare
v_table researcher_request_pk.query_table_type;
begin
v_table:=researcher_request_pk.RequestSQL(:P64_RRQ_ID);
for i in 1..v_table.count loop
htp.prn(v_table(i));
end loop;
end;
Any ideas on the correct syntax to do this?
thanks in advance
PaulP

Thanks for your reply
The function does populate the PLSQL table with data. e.g. If I place that exact code in a PLSQL region it generates the output on the screen with no problems. The problem is just generating the output into the text area.
I want the text area to display the output of the PLSQL table (-a dynamic select SQL statement) which I then plan to execute to return records.( i.e. I've build my own runtime query builder)
My plan is to allow the user to edit the SQL output first before sending the statement for execution.
Funnily enough I do get the very first word of the first cell appearing, namely 'SELECT' but nothing else. Maybe the "||" that follows has something to do with the rest of it not appearing?? hmmm... will experiment more.
thanks

Request For Quotation - ME41 - Item texts are not getting copied

Hi,
I created one RFQ (Request For Quotation) by copying from the existing one (through t-code ME41). But item texts are not copied.
How can this issue be resolved..?
In menu path ( Item --> Texts --> Adopt Text ), "Adopt Text" option is available. But its in disabled mode.

just use F4 to get a valid entry, it is only grey to prevent manual typing

How to Create Free Text Area

Hi all,
I have a requirement where i need to create some 70 Z-fields inside Incident line item where user just enters data and will save the form.
i have achived this by adding the fields into ORDERADM_I and is working fine.. i am able to bring the fields in the Incident line item.
Now i have a requirement where i need to create 2 Free Text areas (like notes where user can enter unlimited text) .
how to achive this.
as of now i have created 2 more Z-fields in ORDERADM_I with 255 characters length and increased the line numbers into 4 in the GET_P method. but by doing this, user can enter only 255 characters and this is not a free text area.
can any one give me steps to create a new free text area.
Regards,
Amshu

Hi Steve,
i have already tried this. it works fine
look at my code below
method GET_P_ZZAFLD0000AL.
CASE iv_property.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_fieldtype.
      rv_value = cl_bsp_dlc_view_descriptor=>field_type_textarea.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_textarea_rows.
      rv_value = 4.
ENDCASE.
endmethod.
this code will make the field as text area with size 4 lines . But the field length will be same as what we declare in the domine.. (max 256) . i cant enter unlimited text in this field though it looks like a text area.
i guess v need to create a standard text somewhere in configuration and assign the same here...
if anyone hv worked on this please revert back
Regards
Amshu

Problem Writing to text area reposted forgot my code

I have 3 seperate Classes Main, GUI, and FileChange.
The Main class runs and constructs the GUI class. The GUI class builds my application. Then the program stops until a user action is committed. If the user opens a file the FileChange class gets the selected file and manipulates it. I tokenize the stings in the file and send the info i want back over to the JTextArea in the GUI class but nothing prints out. The program compiles but informaiton is not written to the text area, why?
The file change makes a call like such:
g.outputText(genre, composer, artist, albumTitle, trackNum, songTitle, count);
the the method that is called does this:
mainText.append(gnr+" ");
if(count==1){mainText.append(cmp+" ");}
mainText.append(art+" "+alb+" "+trk +" "+st.substring(3)+".mp3");
I dont understand why I cant append text to the JTextArea. I can place text in the TextArea during constructor initialization of the GUI class but not when i call the method that appends text from the FileChange class.The Code is posted below
Thanks in advance for your help

//File toSaveAs = a.dialogBox.getSelectedFile();
return a.dialogBox.getSelectedFile();
}//end fileSaveAs()

For instance in your main you can have:
public class Main implements WindowListener {
public static GUI f;
public Main(){
    super();
public static void main(String args[]) {
    f = new GUI();
    f.setSize(800,600);
    f.setVisible(true);
    f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
      //Window Adapter Stuff...By the way if you use the WindowAdapter
      //You don't have to stub out the methods you don't use, just write
      //the ones you do use, that is what makes adapters better then
      //listeners...
public static GUI getGUIInstance() {
    return f;
//then in the fileChange methods that need to use the GUI do:
GUI g = Main.getGUIInstance();Steve
