Drop down list to refresh Tabular Form data

Hi,
I had to add a drop list with a few values in them. When user selects any one of them, the tabular form region should refresh and pick data only for the value selected in the list box.
For this I
1. I have created a Select item with list of values
2. Now when user selects a value from the list, I am guessing I just need to bind the value to the forms select query. However, do I need to use both the page item submit and return item option with this value? or only the return value?
Thanks,
Sun

It's my impression that people use Dynamic action in such a situation when they don't want to submit the page but just refresh the report region. If submitting the page is Ok, then doing it through submit seems more straightforward -to me anyway.

  • How do I use one drop down list to refresh the list in another drop down?

    I am using a drop down list full of years (i.e. 2008, 2009..etc). When I make my selection from this drop down list (say for instance I select 2009) I want it to update the available data in the second drop down list. I have the query statement set up within the JSP page but it needs to be a dynamic SQL statement based off the value I selected in the first drop down.
    String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
    The variable "year" is the value I need to figure out how to assign. Now this variable is a Java variable (attribute) and Im unsure how to get the value from the previous drop down and assign it to that. Basically I need the JavaScript value from the first drop down assigned to the Java attribute "year".
    Anyone able to help me with this???
    Thanks,
    Jed

    Here are my two drop down lists. As you can see I build the second list dynamically based off the value of the year. I want to be able to assign my year to the value I select in this first drop down. How do I do that?? I only want to show games for the year I select. I currently have the year hardcoded to "2009" as you see below. How can i change that to be assigned to the JavaScript value i extract from the first select box?
    <select name="season">
    <option value='2009' selected>2009</option>
    <option value='2008'>2008</option>
    </select>
    <select name="gameselect">
    <%
    try
    String year = "2009";
    String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ElmwoodExpos";
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "thejedster");
    String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
    Statement s = con.createStatement();
    s.executeQuery(sql);
    ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
    while(rs.next())
    %>
    <option value="1"><% out.print(rs.getString("GameDescription"));%></option>
    <%
    catch(Exception e)
    %>
    </select>

  • Value drop down list control in ADOBE Form

    We are on SP16 currently. We are developing an ADOBE interactive online
    form using ABAP WebDynpro.
    To display search help of a few fields like Vendor Number, G/L Account
    Number, Cost Center, we are using 'Value Help Drop Down List' control
    availalbe in WebDynpro Native group.
    After the form gets loaded on the broswer, first time the search help
    control works absolutely fine for any of the field. But only once. Once
    one search help gets displayed, none of the other search value drop
    down control gets clicked. But please note that normal drop down (with
    fixed values) gets clicked and allows to choose any entry from it. It
    also allows to enter values into other text box controls. Only Search
    Value Drop Down list stops working.
    For Example: We have 2 search help drop down list controls (one for
    LIFNR and another for WERKS) and 1 drop down list control (Fixed Values
    to be displayed for selection).
    After form gets displayed on ABAP WebDynpro, if we click on LIFNR, the
    search help for LIFNR will come and it will allow to select vendor
    number from it. But after that, it doesn't allow to select WERKS nor
    even to LIFNR. If we click on WERKS first, it will work perfactly fine
    but then, it will not allow LIFNR or WERKS after that. In any of the
    case, it will always allow to select the values from Fixed Value Drop
    down list.
    Please note that we dont have SAP Portal into the landscape.
    Is there any bug in the control?
    Please provide the solution ASAP.

    Hi Reema,
    We are using ZCI type of form. So, I dont think there is any need to run the report for ZCI_Update.
    And the display type of Interactive Form in ABAP WebDynpro is 'NATIVE' which is the same we dragged the control from (WebDynpro Native).
    Is there any work around to display search helps on ADOBE Interactive forms apart of this control?
    Appreciate your quick answer.
    Thanks & Regardss,

  • Drop down lists are active in form received by email

    Hello,
    I have a form with drop down lists and the form is set so that when the user submits it, the PDF form is sent, not the XML file. The problem is that when I receive the PDF form, the drop down lists are active and I can change the items in the list. Is there a way to disable this so that when the PDF form is received no changes to the form can be made?
    Thank you.

    I think you need to have a flag in a hidden field that indicates that the form has been submitted.  You could set that flag on the form's pre-submit event.  On the form's initialize event, check the flag.  If it's been set (i.e. the form has been submitted before), programatically lock down the form.  Here's a tidy little (untested) recursive function that locks down the form:<br /><br />lockDown(xfa.form.nodes);<br /><br />function lockDown(oNodes) {<br />     for (var i=0; i<oNodes.length; i++) {<br />          if (oNodes.item(i).className == "subform")<br />               lockDown(oNodes.item(i).nodes);<br />          else               <br />               oNodes.item(i).access = "readOnly";<br />     }<br />}<br /><br />Jared Langdon<br />http://www.jlangdon.ca

  • Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms

    Hi,
    We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
    Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
    Please provide suitable answers.

  • Drop down list in Adobe forms

    Hi All,
    I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
    I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
    Any idea????
    Thanks,

    Hi ,
    Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
    Hope my explanation makes sense
    Thanks !

  • To pass the selected data to a variable from the drop down list in abap wd

    On selcting the value from the drop down, we have one event ONSELECT.

  • Drop-down list in interactive form go up and sounds weird

    Hello everybody,
    I've a problem with a drop down list in an interactive form in my webdynpro java application.
    I've an interactive form in my view, display type is "native".
    I've put a drop down list in the pdf and filled it with some elements taken from a bapi.
    It looks like this
    IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeListePoste().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("ListeTypePoste");
              ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
              countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
              IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
              countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
              for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeListe_Poste_view().size();i++){
                   IPrivateFDIView.IListe_Poste_viewElement element = (IPrivateFDIView.IListe_Poste_viewElement)wdContext.nodeListe_Poste_view().getElementAt(i);
                   countryValueSet.put(element.getPoste_Code(),element.getPoste_Libelle());
    then I've binded my drop down list with the element of the context "ListeTypePoste"
    When I run the application I can see the list in my drop down but it goes "up"
    Like this:
    http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7263/20111207170807.png
    Instead of having my list going down it goes up.
    And when I click the arrow to open the list I've a weird BEEEEEP like an error.
    At the end the list works well and if I choose an element it's well selected, but I would like to take of the BEEEP and to have the regular list going down.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    I think you problem can be traced to the place where you put your drop down.
    As far as I understand your drop down funcions well.
    Try to move it into another container or best put it under RoorContainer. Test it.

  • What are the XFA properties for a drop-down list?

    I am having trouble distinguishing between the "Text" and "Value" for a drop down list.
    I have a data drop-down list that is being populated by a database at runtime. I am using the "addItem" event while looping though the recordset. The "addItem" event takes 2 parameters:
    param1: A valid string representing the value to display in the field.
    param2: (Optional) A valid string representing the new items bound value. If empty, the default value is an empty string.
    What is the corresponding XFA properties for param1 and param2?
    If I want to reference "param2" somewhere else in the form, is it dropDownList.rawValue? is it dropDownList.value?

    reviewed the sample.zip form and xml file. The XML format is different from my file. Your file has one field named "item" with 3 records. <br /><data> <br />- <field> <br />  <item>1</item> <br />  <item>2</item> <br />  <item>3</item> <br />  </field> <br />  </data> <br /><br />My XML file has multiple fields and records. I need to populate the dropdown list with 1 field from XML file/DataConnection and bind the remainder of the DataConnection fields to the form fields.

  • Populating 2nd drop down list based on the selection of the first using Access DB...

    I have a form that I would like to have the user select the first drop-down list as populated from a data source, but them have the subsequent selection choice dependent on the first. For instance, if they select "administration" for their division, the department numbers shown in the second box would only contain those with "Administration" listed as their division. I have all of this information in my Access table.
    I've seen this possible by storing all of the information in a script. i.e.- listing each division and department. The only problem is that we have over 300 departments and making any changes would be very tedious in an in-form script. Is there any way to have this automatically reference a table in Access?
    Thank you,
    Mike

    In the current version of the portal, it is not possible as you cannot do code-behind on postbacks. If you want more flexibility, you need to write your own front-end that uses the FIM Service webservices...

  • How do i customize a drop down list in adobe muse without css?

    I'm a complete noob when it comes to anything code. I tinker in design and ran into a bit of a snag. I'm involved in a start up and our coders apparently only know how to code software and back end stuff. I know it's probably not the best route to go, but i'm trying to use adobe muse to do the front end of my companies website that will have a few fields such as drop down lists and sign up forms, etc. Is there a way to customize the look of a drop down menu without using css? Or if i do need to use css how do i use it in muse? Really do appreciate any help you guys can provide!

    You would need to know CSS. If you need to change Muse CSS you can use Firebug in Firefox to find the element ID. Then you would need to add your custom CSS to the head section in your page properties.

  • Selecting Top N records in a table using a slider or drop down list

    Hi Experts,
    I have a query that  displays 1000 records ( say) in VC iview.
    Can i have a drop down list in the variable form to control the number of records displayed in the output table by the user .
    or can i have a horizaontal slider ( Min value is 2 -max 1000)  to display the number of records in the output table  selected by the horizaontal slider.
    basically iam having a requirement to give the user the capability to select the Top N records of the output table...where the user enters the N value in Drop downlist of variable form or user slides the N value using Horizontal slider
    Thnaks
    P.Navakanth

    Hi
    Yes it is possible. First you need to create 'Condition' in BEx query where you have to create 'TOP N' & 'N' should be a variable input. Then you will get this in 'Variable Screen' of a query. In VC for this same variable you can use slider. Use 'Select' function in the 'Action' of the slider & pass it to require table/graph.
    Try this, this will give you the required result.
