Date picker validation
Hello everyone,
I need help on the following.
i have date picker colum .I want a validation chk so that nobody can enter except MM/DD/YYYY) format and also nobody can cahnge the date
Hello:
Is the intent to prevent the user from entering a date directly into the text field ? If so, add the following to the 'HTML Form Element Attributes' of the Date Picker item
onFocus="alert('You cannot enter data into this field directly');this.blur()"For your validation you could use a simple pl/sql block like
declare
l_date date;
begin
select to_date(:date_picker_item,'MM/DD/YYYY') into l_date from dual;
return true;
exception when others then
return false;
end;Varad

Jquery Date Picker Validation - format issue
Hi ,
I am using 2 text items with Jquery dateicker for start date and end date items.
I have to now write a JS validation to ensure start date <= end date.
The dateformat of my items are 'd-M-yy' (02-Mar-2010) .....
When I try to use the Date.parse() function , it gives me an invalid date error....
If I change the date format to mm/dd/yy (03/02/2010) then there is no problem, I can use Date.parse() and compare the two dates, I get no error . However I need the date format to be : 02-Mar-2010
Below is a simple version of the JS function Iam using to compare dates and alert error
function f_validate()
var a = $v('P1_START_DATE');
var b = $v('P1_END_DATE');
var startDate = new Date();
var endDate = new Date();
startDate = Date.parse(a);
endDate = Date.parse(b);
// if I alert() startDate or endDate it says invalid date
if (startDate>endDate){
alert('error');
else
doSubmit();
} Has anybody done a similar validation with Jquery datepickers in the format 'd-M-yy' ?
Also how Can I use $.datepicker.parseDate function within my Javascript function so that I can convert the dates to the default format and then compare them....
Appreciate any ideas/pointers
Thanks,
Dippy
Edited by: Dippy on Mar 2, 2010 12:42 AMI've used the following without problems:
var gasDay = $v('P0_GAS_DAY');
var gasDayDate = new Date();
gasDayDate = $.datepicker.parseDate('dd-M-yy', gasDay,
monthNamesShort : ['JAN', 'FEB', 'MAR', 'APR', 'MAY', 'JUN', 'JUL', 'AUG', 'SEP', 'OCT', 'NOV', 'DEC']

Hi,
I need help with understanding dynamic actions. I have two date pickers, I want the value of the first date picker to be the minimum date of the second date picker. To achieve this I have a hidden item whose value I want to reflect the selected date in the required format. In the dynamic action on the date picker I have no condition, and the true action is set to execute the following pl/sql code
:P200220000_Y_MIN_DT := TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P200220000_Y_STR, 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'YYYYMMDDHH24MI');. The items to submit field contains both the first date picker and the hidden item.
The "P200220000_Y_MIN_DT" is now passed into the minimum date field of the second date picker. The problem is when the date is changed the hidden item does not get the value until the page is refreshed.
Am I doing something wrong or just have not mastered the use of dynamic action or are my colleagues right use AJX call backs not dynamic actions.
Thanks
AderemiHi Aderemi,
first of all as already explained, the min/max values are already used on the server side when the necessary code for the date picker is rendered. When you changed the referenced values in the browser, these values will not change the behavior of the client side date picker widget. But when you submit the page, the new min/max values will be used by the date picker validation check on the server.
To over the client side date picker display issue, you could directly call the date picker JavaScript code and pass in the new min/max values. Have a look at http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/
So for example you could have a dynamic action of type "Execute JavaScript code" which executes the following Javascript code.
apex.jQuery('#P200220000_MY_DATE_PICKER').datepicker("option", "minDate", "-1m");I think that should work. Note: I haven't tested if that really works and it's also some kind of unsupported, because it uses the underlaying jQueryUI APIs the APEX date picker is using. This could change in the future and would invalidate your code.

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 Error when not valid date
I have a field with a date picker. I have an inline validation of type pl/sql error that checks to see that the user actually entered a valid date
l_date := todate(:P1_MYDATE, '&PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK.');
Works fine, except, next to the field (between the field and the date picker) I get this "junk"
Unable to cast value "03/35/2004" to date format mask PICK_DATE_USING_FLOW_FORMAT_MASK
This is pretty ugly, especially as I am already telling them they made a mistake.
Would you like me to log a bug?
Also . . . it would be great to have a built in validation for dates. Any thoughts there? Perhaps an enhancement request?
Thanks,
a-Anton,
This is definitely pretty ugly and should be handled more gracefully. As it stands now, there is no way to suppress this automatic casting to a date value.
You can work around it by clearing session state for that item if the validation fails. You could do this in a validation of type Function Returning Boolean with:
declare
l_date date;
begin
l_date := to_date(:P1_MYDATE,'&PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASTK.');
return true;
exception
when others then
:P1_MYDATE := NULL;
return false;
end;
The idea for a built-in validation for dates is a great one. HTML DB has all the information (what type of date picker, any format masks, NLS settings) to determine the validity of a date value.

Date picker for af:inputDate is not picking up the correct input date
view source:
<af:inputDate value="#{bindings.DateField.attributeValue}" label="#{bindings.DateField.hints.label}"

Date picker,first day/last day of month
Hi All
i have two items on my page
:p80_from_date
:p80_last_date
both of them are defined as date picker (dd/mm/yyyy)
i want that the form_date will contain allways the first day of the month the the user is picking
example suppose that the user picks in the :p80_from_date : '20/07/2009'
then the date suppose to be '01/07/2009'
if the user picking :p80_last_date '01/08/2009' the date suppose to be '31/08/2009' .
i've tried to do it with computation with no success.
i rather that after the user is picking the date he will see that the default is always the first date.
how shall i do it ?
thanks in advanced
NaamaHello Naama,
Now you are actually raising a new issue of date validation, which should pertains to every date field on your application.
>> the problem is that the function is not returning Boolean
It seems to me that you are mixing Computations and Validations. The first can set the value of an item; the second can raise an application error and include options of using a function that returns Boolean or an error text.
The problem in your specific case is that you need to validate the date prior to using it in your Computation, however the APEX engine fires Computations before Validations. The solution might be to use a PL/SQL process with a firing point of “On Submit – Before Computations and Validations”.
As I mentioned before, date validation should apply to all your application date items. Personally, I’m using a client side validation, fired by an onblur event, to give the user a “fair warning”. The following code matches your date format, and I’m using it in a Right-To-Left application (In the example it includes Hebrew error messages that can be changed to any text in any language you need). This function can deal with a fully formatted date string (e.g. 31/01/2010) or a string of numbers representing the date (e.g. 31012010).
function dateValidation(pThis){
var monthDays = [00,31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31];
var date_len = pThis.value.length;
if (date_len == 0){ // Date field is empty
return true; // or an error alert if date is mandatory
if (date_len == 10) {
pThis.value = pThis.value.substr(0,2)+pThis.value.substr(3,2)+pThis.value.substr(6,4);
else {
if (date_len != 8) {
alert('DD/MM/YYYY התאריך חייב לכלול 8 ספרות במבנה');
pThis.focus();
return false;
var DD = parseInt(trimLead0(pThis.value.substr(0,2)));
if (DD < 1) {
alert('מספר הימים אינו חוקי');
pThis.focus();
return false;
var YYYY = parseInt(pThis.value.substr(4,4));
if (YYYY < 1900 || YYYY > 2050){
alert('טווח השנים המוכר 1900-2050');
pThis.focus();
return false;
var MM = parseInt(trimLead0(pThis.value.substr(2,2)));
// Checking for leap year if MM=02
if (MM == 2) {
var leap = (((YYYY % 4 == 0) && ( (!(YYYY % 100 == 0)) || (YYYY % 400 == 0))) ?1:0);
if ((leap && DD > 29) || (!leap && DD > 28)) {
alert('מספר הימים בפברואר אינו חוקי');
pThis.focus();
return false;
else {
if (DD > monthDays[MM]) {
alert('מספר הימים בחודש זה אינו חוקי');
pThis.focus();
return false;
if (DD < 10) { DD = '0'+DD; }
if (MM < 10) { MM = '0'+MM; }
pThis.value = DD+'/'+MM+'/'+YYYY;
return true;
function trimLead0(str) {
return str.replace(/^0*/g,"");
}Best Practice stipulates that client side validation is not enough and you should use server side validations. In your specific case, if an end user tricked the client side validation he/she deserves to receive a system error message. Still, if you want to prevent it, you need to add some PL/SQL code that validates the input date before you use it in your Computation.

Arie.

Inserting a Value into otherTable using an App. Proc. from a Date Picker
I'm trying to call an Application Process that will insert an Attribute of a Row, into another table, after selecting a date from a Date Picker cell.
I don't know why this shouldn't be possible. I think I've got all of my "Ducks in a Row", so to speak,
but the Value that is being inserted into the other table is this:.. [object HTMLTableCellElement]
(Ultimately, I'd like my Application Process to include Page element values with the insert as well, but I'm trying to handle one problem at a time)
Here's a list of all the steps I've covered:
1. I've Created an Application Process, (popDevices). The Process Point is "On-Demand". The Type is "PL/SQL Anonymous Block".
The Process is defined as such:
BEGIN
Insert into P_DEVICES
NAME,
IP_ADDRESS,
MODEL
) values
'Unassigned',
'Unassigned',
:P153_MODEL
COMMIT;
END;
2. I've Included the Javascript in the Page HTML Header.
The Javascript is written as such: (minus the tags)
function popDevices(PART_NO)
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=popDevices',0);
get.add('P153_MODEL',PART_NO);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
3. I've included the following in the "Element Attributes" field of the Date-Picker Item (Date_Delivered).
The Region Type is "SQL Query (Updatable Report)"
onChange="javascript:popDevices(PART_NO);"
THE RESULTS
A. A row does get inserted into the other (P_Devices) table,
But the value of the Attribute from the Page Region is not valid.
The Inserted value is this: [object HTMLTableCellElement]
B. I have tried Every conceivable combination of characters in the "Element Attributes" field, such as:
...(PART_NO), (#PART_NO#), (||PART_NO||), (+PART_NO+)
C. The Javascript in the Page HTML Header appears to be correct, since I have written it this same way for other applications without any problems.
D. If this simply cannot be done by referencing the "onChange" Javascript from the "Element Attributes" field,
Then can you help me to write the code into the Select statement of the region.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
-GaryThis may not be the most direct approach to the solution. But, none the less, it is a solution.
For those other novices, like myself, I hope this can be useful at some point in your development:
MY DESIRED RESULT:
A. To Insert into another tablle values derived from both; Page Item (i.e. P153_x) and Attributes of a Row in an Updatable Report from which I have selected the Date-Picker.
B. I want the insert to occur automatically after the user Selects the date from the Date-Picker.
SOLUTIONS:
1. I usea Javascript prompt window to prompt for information and store the information in Pre-Created Page Items.
This is the Javascript as I've entered it into the Page HTML Header region: (Minus the Tags)
function received_javaprompt () {
var Serial_Number = prompt("Enter the Serial Number");
var Bldg_Id = prompt("Enter the Bldg_Id");
var Clst_Id = prompt("Enter the Clst_Id");
$x('P153_SERIAL_NO').value = Serial_Number;
$x('P153_BLDG_ID').value = Bldg_Id;
$x('P153_CLST_ID').value = Clst_Id;
2. I needed to identify the (Manufacturer and Part_No) Column Attribute in the Row from which I selected the Date-Picker.
A. To do this, I enumerated the Columns in the order they were listed in the Select Statement of the region (Click on the Region Definition Tab).
B. Then (Click on the Report Attributes Tab). Count, In the numerical order which these columns are selected, ONLY the columns that are Editable.
C. When I counted down as far as the Column I wanted to capture the value of, Then I made a mental note of that number and used it in the following (2) Javascripts (findMaker and findModel).
3. findMaker (Minus the tags)
function findMaker (pThis) {
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
var Maker = html_GetElement('f15_'+vRow).value
$x('P153_MAKER').value = Maker;
4. findModel (Minus the tags)
function findModel (pThis) {
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
var Model = html_GetElement('f16_'+vRow).value
$x('P153_MODEL').value = Model;
5. I added one more Javascript, to the Page HTML Header, that references the Application Process which will Insert the values into the "Other" table:
function popDevices(P153_SERIAL_NO,P153_BLDG_ID,P153_CLST_ID,P153_MAKER,P153_MODEL)
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=popDevices',0);
get.add('P153_SERIAL_NO',P153_SERIAL_NO);
get.add('P153_BLDG_ID',P153_BLDG_ID);
get.add('P153_CLST_ID',P153_CLST_ID);
get.add('P153_MAKER',P153_MAKER);
get.add('P153_MODEL',P153_MODEL);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
6. I added the "onChange" process to the Element Attributes field of the Table item which utilizes the Date-Picker:
A. Click on the Report Attributes Tab of the Region.
B. Click on the Edit icon of the column which utilized the Date-Picker
C. I added this "onChange" reference to the Element Attributes field, which is found in the Tabular Form section.
onChange="javascript:received_javaprompt();findModel(this);findMaker(this);popDevices((P153_SERIAL_NO).value,(P153_BLDG_ID).value,(P153_CLST_ID).value,(P153_MAKER).value,(P153_MODEL).value);"

Well, I hope this may help someone else like me.
I usually arrive at my solutions by getting help here on the Discussion Forum and also Google. Google inevitably points me to a previous Apex Discussion Forum session.

I would like to use Date Picker on the OBIEE Dashboard. Is there any standard control/mechanism that I can put to use ?
hi....can you explain it a little more???
i created 2 dashboards prompts. from 2 dummy collums
i set CAST ( NULL AS DATE ) and CAST ( '11/12/2008' AS DATE ),i choose calendar and i set 2 presentation variables,start and end
in my reports i creates a single collumn(measure column from fact table) QTY where i want to se the quantity of the specified period of time.
i set in the function...
FILTER(fact.QTY USING (CALENDAR_DIM.CALENDAR_DATE BETWEEN '@{start}{04/01/2007}' AND '@{end}{06/01/2007}'))
(i did that because i want to have 2 colums of qty in order to represent 2 qts of 2 different periods.
i made a simple test only with one period but the result was...
Κατάσταση: HY000. Κωδικός: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 1843, message: ORA-01843: not a valid month at OCI call OCIStmtExecute: select T622.KATHGORIA_ID_DESC as c1, sum(T525.QTY) as c2, T409.CALENDAR_DATE as c3 from DWADM.PRODUCT_DIM T622, DWADM.CALENDAR_DIM T409, DWADM.FACT2007 T525 where ( T409.CALENDAR_DATE = T525.CAL_DATE and T525.PRD_SK = T622.PRODUCT_SK and T409.CALENDAR_DATE between '04/01/2007' and '06/01/2007' ) group by T409.CALENDAR_DATE, T622.KATHGORIA_ID_DESC order by c1, c3. [nQSError: 17011] SQL statement execution failed. (HY000)
any help???
i manage to do my scenario with dropdown list but it is not what i want.
the one tha o notice is that the field from the calendar is acceptin the dates onlu in format of yyyy-MM-dd.

Jerry YangBut first setLenient(false), because to my mind
DateFormat it apt to be far too lenient
tending to accept things like 30 Feb.A web banking application had setLenient(false). Customers would call support because they got an error message when they tried to get transaction statements for the whole month by entering April 1 - April 31.
We changed to setLenient(true). Consider which leniency mode is right for you. And write better error messages than what we had...
Maybe: if non-lenient fails, parse with lenient; if that succeeds, give a specific error message explaining the situation (or execute with the lenient date, and present results with a warning message "we made a guess at what you meant, check results"). -
How to determine if the Date Picker was selected?
I have a tabular form with columns of date type that are displayed as APEX Date Picker.
A user can enter the date two different ways; 1. Enter date by clicking in the field and type it manually. 2. Click on the calendar icon next to the field and select a date.
The entered dates are validated, and if invalid, should be replaced with the existing date.
This works fine for case 1 when a user enters the date manually using the following code in the Element Attributes.
onFocus="savedData=this.value;" onChange="if( isDate3(this.value)==false){this.value=savedData}" The existing data is saved in the savedData field using the onFocus event and then used to replace the this.value if the validation fails.
But, for case 2, I get an error indicating that the savedData is undefined, which is true. This is because the user does not click into the field and triggering the onFocus event. Instead, the user clicks on the calendar icon next to the field that opens a calendar pop-up. For this case, if a user selects a date in the future, an alert is raised, and the date needs to be replaced with the existing date.
So the question is, is there a way to trigger an event to save the existing value if the user clicks the calendar icon next to the date field to populate the date?
Thanks,
DPATEL

Hi All,
Is there any date pciket UI element available . I am not able to see any in type of UI elements avaiable in my NWDS.
Thanks
Supriya.Hi Friend,
Binding the input field to an attribute of date type will automatically bring in the date picker and the standard validations for that. So, you needn't worry about it. In case you need to have your own date format and your custom validations over it, then I am afraid you would have to bind this input field with a string type attribute and have a dateNavigator UI element as popup on click of a button next to input field to browse for date, but it would unnecessarily be an overhead on performance of the application.

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!
PeteHello 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.

Is there a way to use the minimum and maximum dates in date picker in a tabular form? It does not appear that this is available in a tabular form and I am finding it very difficult to come up with a way to limit the date selection to a particular month when using the tabular form. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I hadn't accounted for the addRow, and datepickers on newly added rows are indeed not restricted. Datepickers on existing rows are still being restricted, but since you had no rows there anymore you could only add rows.
Could it be that in your local solution you have no rows too, and thus can only add rows, which has no date restriction?
To restrict the datepicker for new rows I changed the "Add Row" button's URL. In 4.2 I'd set it to be defined by a dynamic action, but since you're on 4.0 I set the URL to:
javascript:myAddRow();In the page edit i added this to "Javascript > Function and Global Variable Declaration"
function myAddRow(){
apex.widget.tabular.addRow();
$("td[headers='DETAIL_DATE'] input:last")
.datepicker("option","changeMonth",false)
.datepicker("option","minDate",$v("P2_MASTER_MONTH_MINDATE"))
.datepicker("option","maxDate",$v("P2_MASTER_MONTH_MAXDATE"));
};This will first add a new row, and then the restriction will be applied to the last input item matching the selector. Indeed, on your local instance you will have to change the "apex.widget.tabular.addRow()" to just "addRow();", since the apex.widget.tabular namespace is new in 4.2.
Some more notes of importance:
- the column header: in the demo your column is "DETAIL_DATE". If this column is called differently in your local solution, you will need to change the jQuery selector to reflect this!
- the P2_MASTER_MONTH_MIN/MAXDATE columns do some date arithmetic. It is important to take a look at their value if the datepicker is not being restricted, and also what language your application runs in. The default english application will set a date format for the jQuery datepicker to be dd-M-y, and it will take '01-JAN-2013' as a valid value. If your field however would contain something like '01/01/2013' it would not work. So for safety, take a look at the values of these items! -
