Dynamic Action on change automatically submit

Hi,
I have a tabular form (manually handled) with a text item that can be changed (Apex 4.0.2.00.07).
Each time the user changes the value of the text item, the changes automatically will be submitted.
Therefore I defined a dynamic action:
event:onchange
selection type: region
with javascriptcode: apex.submit({request:'SAVE'});
When I leave changed text item with tab-key everything works fine.
But when I leave changed text item through a button Click only the submit of dynamic action is performed and the button functionality is ignored.
The button click initiates the onchange event at the changed text item and then ignores everything after this event.
The enduser will not be able to understand the behavior of the application.
I have less experience in Java and JavaScript.
Is it possible to get the information if and which button was clicked, so I can decide at javascriptcode of the dynamic action what is to do?
Thanks,
Brigitte

Region static id shouldn be in bracketsYou missed the '#' informt of the region id.
why my original PL/SQL process did not work
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f08.COUNTThis works only when the application array has values and that happens only when the page is submitted.When you submit the dynamic action , it isn't.
This script combined with script to detect changes makes apex page running very slowIf you use that PLSQL code(assuming it works as expected) , then its going to take a server request every-time you change a field in the tabular form and loop though all the array values(if they would be submitted before) and recalculate and compare the checksums . Isn't that going to be very inefficient.
As for that JS code, it only runs at the client side. You can do all the server side checks on submit, when the user expects some delay due to processing.

Dynamic Action On change tabular form question

Hi guys!
I've wanted to add dynamic action on change (tabular form) to execute PL/SQL which checks if column of the tabular form has changed and if yes it changes walue of text field to Y or N. It doesnt work...and I don't know why. If I create validation with this PL/SQL it works. Can you help?

Dynamic action to change item label

Hi All,
How can I use dynamic action to change item label?
thanks.

Hi,
fac586 wrote:
Why and when do you want to dynamically change a label? This would have a detrimental effect on usability and accessibility.
Consider a visually impaired user of your app using a screen reader. The screen reader identifies a checkbox labelled "Free Cake". They like the sound of that, so navigate to the checkbox to tick it. Your dynamic action fires when it gets focus and changes the label to "Give all my money to Fadi".I think this would confuse even a sighted user! I don't know the OP full requirements or constraints but I can bet the OP does not want to change the item label when the user navigates to it.
I have to say that I don't like forms that change as the user enters data. I think that enabling and disabling fields is OK, but not hiding or showing or changing labels or field types.
In any case, if you have to do it, an alternative to changing an item label is to have 2 separate items: one hidden and one shown. Then, using some triggering event, you can hide one and show the other.
Because there are built-in dynamic actions to hide and show items but not to change item labels, one might thing that one approach is more acceptable than the other. However, if those 2 separate items occupy the same spot in the page, from a user point of view (or screen reader for that matter) I don't see any difference between those two approaches (in my view, both bad practices.)
And because of its lots of nested tables, lack of headings etc, apex pages are not screen-reader friendly anyway... This is an interesting plugin for firefox that shows how your page would be read by a screen reader:

Issue in execution of Dynamic action on change event

Hi,
Greetings.
I have scenario, where I have one select list (P_CATEGORY) and one shuttle control (P_ROOMS) on page.
The values of the shuttle list is being populated based on the selected value in select list.
The left pane of shuttle control's value based on LOV and source of the shuttle item is a plsql function, which returning colon separated value list.
So that returned values shown in the right pane of shuttle.
The LOV values are getting being populated using cascading LOV i.e based on the of Select List item. But the Shuttle source values not getting auto refresh and for achieving that I've created a dynamic true action on change event of Select list.
The dynamic action is with :
Action : Set Value
Set Type : PL SQL funciton body
Page items to submit : P_CATEGORY (this is select list)
Escape Special Character : Yes
Suppress Change event : Yes
Affected Elements -
Selection type : Item(s)
Item(s) : P_ROOMS
This is perfectly working on Firefox but not working on IE9 & Google Chrome.
I've debugged in both IE9 & Google chrome and found the dynamic action get executes ajax call and the values get back but not rendering on the screen. i.e not assigning to the item.
So can you please advice me what will be a workaround for this issue?
I am using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32 .
I'll appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks & Regards,
Jaydipsinh Raulji

I don't understand why this is not working withouth seeing an example, there might be multiple processes working on the item.
Anyway if the value is returned check if the value is in the session aswell. If it is in the session but not on the page that means you will need to find a way to bring it from the DB to the page. You can do this by adding an action to your DA:
Action: Execute PL/SQL code
PL/SQL code: NULL;
Page Items to Return: your shuttle item

Dynamic action on "Change" of Radio group value

Hi,
I'm using Apex 4.1 on XE 11G.
If I create a simple dynamic action which shows/hides a field on the change of an item of type select list this works great.
So for example if the value of the select list is 1 then show another field and otherwise hide this other field.
If I change the type of the first field ( the select list ) to a radio group the dynamic action stops working. It looks like the value of the radio group does not get changed when I click another value in the radio group.
I'm somehow able to bypass this by using a dynamic action which fires when the radio group is clicked and then evaluatie it's value via JS, but that's not really the ideal solution.
Is there some basic difference in radio groups and select lists when it comes to storing values and/or dynamic actions which are based on the change event on that item ?
Regards
Bas
Edited by: Bas de Klerk on 31-mei-2012 6:42

Take a look at the Radio group item in HTML DOM using FF/Firebug or IE/DevTools, and you will see the difference.
If you have neither of the 2 debug tools , time you get one.

Unable to create a dynamic action ALERT to be generated on a Select List when particular value is selected.

Hi everyone, this should be so easy, yet I am stuck.
I have a form region with an item P110_VESSEL_ID. This item is a select list. It is based on the query:
select distinct v.vessel_name, v.vessel_id
from vessels vessels v, frequent_fishermen ff
where ff.dea_permit_id = :G_PERMIT_ID and
ff:vessel_id = v.vessel_id
UNION
select v.vessel_name, v.vessel_id
from apex_collections a, vessels v
where collection_name = 'SUPVES_COLLECTION' and
a.c002 = v.vessel_id
If the user decides against the values in the select list query, they may opt to SELECT ALL VALUES. This SELECT ALL VALUES is a POST ELEMENT TEXT on P110_VESSEL_ID.
<a id="popVessels" href="#"><font color=blue>Select from ALL Vessels</a>
This all works fine.
The issue is that when the user selects a vessel name = 'UNKNOWN' and it's corresponding vessel_id value, I would like an ALERT to appear indicating that they should double check that the vessel is UNKNOWN and not that the is no vessel.
I created a dynamic action
event= change
select type = item
item = P110_VESSEL_ID
True ACtion #1 is the ALERT.
I currently have no other logic, but cannot even get this to work. Any thoughts. I have also tried the SELECT TYPE = jQuery Selector = select[name='P110_VESSEL_ID'] but that does not work either (though I am not certain if the value should be P110_VESSEL_ID or the static name of VESSEL_ID).
Any help is appreciated.
ps. the page is not submitted when the vessel is changed. There is other data that needs to be entered both in this region and others and many validations run when submit, so the submit would not be an option.
thanks again,
Karen

This should work. Sometimes I've see where there is other javascript on the page that may have some errors and is causing the dynamic action code to not be executed. Use your favorite browser script console to try and determine if this may be the case.

P.S. Your jQuery selector can be: select#P110_VESSEL_ID

How to abort tasks in a Dynamic Action when apex.confirm = Cancel

I have a text field that has a Dynamic Action attached to it. When the field is changed, the Dynamic Action fires. There are 6 separate tasks in that Dynamic Action.
The very first task is a call to apex.confirm. I want to make sure that the user understand the implications of changing the value in this field. So, up pops the dialog, the user reads the information, and decides to click OK or Cancel.
If OK is clicked, I want to continue through the rest of the tasks in the Dynamic Action. If CANCEL is clicked, I want to just abort out of the Dynamic Action.
Is that possible?
Apex 4.1.1.00.23
Edited by: Mark T. on Mar 1, 2012 9:49 AM

Yes, I do see a different behavior.
I've set up an app on apex.oracle.com, #60312. Workspace is mavericksolutions. Login pwolf. Password A1B2C3 change on first login.
The first field is tied to a dynamic action. The first task in the DA is an apex.confirm. Type something into the first field then click TAB to bring up the dialog box. Whether I click OK or click CANCEL, the 2nd task is still occurring. It appears that the only difference is that if I click OK, I also get a submit of the page.
What I want, in fact, is twofold:
1. If I click CANCEL, then STOP the execution of the remainder of the tasks in the Dynamic Action.
2. If I click OK, go ahead and process the rest of the tasks in the Dynamic Action, but DO NOT SUBMIT.
Basically, I want to ask the user if it's OK to go ahead and make the on-screen changes, but I do NOT want to do an auto-save. I want the user to look at the results on the screen and click the actual SAVE (or CREATE) button after ensuring their accuracy. Right now, it appears that the apex.confirm is firing a page submit when I click OK (the fields get cleared out). I don't want that page submit.
I THINK I can accomplish goal #1 with a workaround, by splitting the DA into two pieces. Piece #1 would have only the confirmation dialog. Piece #2 would be fired from the same field change, would have a sequence number AFTER piece #1, and would be conditional on the value of the expression returned by the apex.confirm. So if the apex.confirm returned 'DOTHIS' when I click OK, I would look to see if Expression = DOTHIS for piece #2. If not, then piece #2 wouldn't fire.
The remaining trouble, then, is that if I click OK to fire piece #2, the page submit will subsequently fire following the completion of piece #2. And no matter what, I definitely do NOT want a page submit. Is there a function similar to apex.confirm that does not do a page submit?
Anyway, take a look at the app. It's not performing the way that I anticipated, which is the same behavior that you described. I expected that it would do exactly what you said. Alas...

Logic for Dynamic Actions

Can any one tell me the logic for implementing Dynamic Actions.
Regards
vamsi.

What are dynamic actions and how to configure it?
Ans) Dynamic actions are performed automatically by the system, depending on certain conditions. If maintaining one infotype has an effect on another infotype, the system automatically displays the second infotype for processing.
Dynamic actions can run in the background i.e. the user does not see the run on the screen.
A change in one field of an infotype might require, that certain other infotype be updated at the same time. The details can be specified as a dynamic event. It is automatically triggered by the system.
*Examples: *
The Personal Data infotype is newly created, and the Number of children field is filled. Once the record is saved, the system automatically displays the Family/Related Person (0021) infotype and the Child subtype (2) for processing. An employee is hired, and the probationary period is entered in infotype Contract Elements. Once this information is saved, the system automatically displays a record from the Monitoring of Dates (0019) infotype and the subtype Expiry of probation (1) for processing.

Help with Dynamic Action Construction

I want to create a dynamic action that will disable a field called P1_TBRN when any of the following conditions in the form are true:
:P1_TRIAL_STATUS in ('Off-Trial','Unknown') or
:P1_DIAGNOSIS_MAJOR ='UNKNOWN' or
:P1_INSTITUTION ='Unknown' or
:P1_CONSENT_EXISTS <> 'Y';
I assume I use a "Change" event but I can't work out how to enter the 4 condtions so that they are all checked each time. If I create 4 separate dynamic actions, when I change one of the fields, it does not take into consideration the other field values.
An alternative I've tried is to set up a Read Only condition on P1_TRIAL with the above condition. The only problem is that I have to submit the page each time there is a change in one of the 4 fields above. It would be better if I didn't have to submit the page each time so I'd like to use a Dynamic Action.
thanks in advance
Paul P

Hi Paul.
If you want to evaluate 4 variables in 1 dynamic action you have to post the value of these 4 items on each change of one of these items as far as I know.
I had a form with multiple checks of this kind and ended up having serieus performance issues.
My way around was to evaluate in javascript. You creat a dynamic action on change of any of these 4 fields and set the condition to a javascript expression. The expression looks something like (quick edit so there might be some typos):
$v('P1_TRIAL_STATUS')=='Off-Trial'||
$v('P1_TRIAL_STATUS')=='Unknown')||
$v('P1_DIAGNOSIS_MAJOR')=='UNKNOWN'||
$v('P1_INSTITUTION') =='Unknown'||
$v('P1_CONSENT_EXISTS') == 'Y'
If this evaluates to true the true action of the dynamic action is executed, otherwise the false action.
Cheers
Bas

Dynamic action not working

Hello All,
I have created a dynamic action for cascading select list.
I have a select list(List_1) item and and a tabular form containing a select list(List_2), this tabular form List_2 is dependent on List_1.
So I have created a dynamic action on change of List_1, this is the code I used
var l_Return = null;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
'APPLICATION_PROCESS=SELECT_DRUG_QUANTITY',0);
var treat_id = document.getElementById('P533_TREATMENT').value;
//alert(treat_id);
get.add('TABU_CASCADING_ITEM',treat_id);
gReturn = get.get('XML');
var l_Count1 = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("qntity").length;
var l_Select = html_GetElement('f30_1');
l_Select.length = 0;
for(var i=0;i<l_Count1;i++){
l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("qntity");
appendToSelect(l_Select, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'),
l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue);
If you can see there is a alert in between, if I enable it cascading list is working but when I comment that alert it is not working.
As I can see we don't have "Page Item to Submit" for Execute javascript Action.
Please let me know where I am going wrong.
Thanks
Tauceef

Hello Tauceef,
I am having similar issue.. see following thread.
Report refresh, Strange behaviour
The DIRTY work-around I have used is to put some delay using setTimeout function.
Try to put following code in other JS function and schedule it to run after 30 secs.
var l_Count1 = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("qntity").length;
var l_Select = html_GetElement('f30_1');
l_Select.length = 0;
for(var i=0;i<l_Count1;i++){
l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("qntity");
appendToSelect(l_Select, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'),

Help using a dynamic action to update tabular form items (specifically radio button) based on collection

I am struggling with one item in my tabular form. It is a radio button. The choices all appear properly, but the value is not saved in the collection (and hence, not saved in the table). All other items in the tabular form save properly.
here is what I have for the query.   It is item c024 (which maps to ;'f03'), which is defined as a radio LOV based on an existing LOV.

I have noticed the following:

P110_ID = f11_1
P110_VALUE = whatever I change the price to.
when I change the column C024 (hms_flag), the following values are set:
P110_ID = f03_0001
P110_VALUE = whatever I change hms_flag to.
the region is refreshed in my dynamic action, and the change for hms_flag does not hold. I have tested the SQL query that generates the value for v_SEQ in the dynamic action.   In both a change to price and HMS_FLAG it appears valid
select ltrim(substr(:p110_ID,5,4),'0') into v_seq from dual;
if f11_1, v_seq:= 1
if f03_0001, v_seq := 1
thank you!

solved. sort of.
field c024 references f03.
the Dynamic ACtion, step 4 calculates v_member by taking a substring of P110_ID...and in all other fields, the column and the field (fxx) are the same value....except for c024.
I am not certain exactly how to resolve, but see the problem.

Dynamic Action on new row in Tabular Form

Hi Guys,
APEX version is 4.1
I created a dynamic action on change of a select list, if changed then disable the related fields on the same row.
This is working fine for all EXISTING rows on the tabular form.
However, if I click on ADD ROW button, a new row is added to the page, but the change event on select list is
not triggerred from the dynamic action.
Is there any thoughts or workaround on this interesting problem?
Thanks in advance,
Frank

I got it working by adding a onchange event which is triggering js function on the page.

Execute javascript from plsql in a dynamic action.

Is it possible to execute javascript with htp.p from a plsql block in a dynamic action (on change).
I have tried it but I get a JSON error.
The reason I want to to this is:
I have to check something with plsql and depending on the result I want to do something in javascript.
I now going to try it with ajax from javascript, but if somebody has a other way to do this i like to hear it.
Thanks,
Fred.

Very neat, many thanks.
I now have a 'Set Value' 'Javascript Expression' action of 'this.triggeringElement.id;' to set a hidden *but unprotected* page item. This is followed by the 'Execute PL/SQL' action which simply calls a package procedure and passes the name of the triggering item. The procedure then sets the session state(s) as required.
Thank you!

I Have a Dynamic Action
Event: Change
Selection Type : Item(s)
Item(s): P2_RETURNED_FILE_TYPE_CODE,P2_REQUEST_TYPE_CODE
Condition: JavsScript Expression
Value:
$v('P2_RETURNED_FILE_TYPE_CODE')=='2D POSTER'||
$v('P2_REQUEST_TYPE_CODE')=='POSTER'
When my user chooses “P2_REQUEST_TYPE_CODE (“POSTER” )”it needs to displays Address Columns and it does. When my user chooses “P2_RETURNED_FILE_TYPE_CODE (“2D POSTER”)” It needs to display address Columns and it does. Everything works fine except when in “P2_RETURNED_FILE_TYPE_CODE” all checkboxes are checked the address columns don’t get display, any idea?
Application Express 4.1.1.00.23
Thanks

Hi JC,
If you check multiply checkboxes the value will be a string with the value separated by a colon.
You shoudl use something like indexOf.
$v('P2_RETURNED_FILE_TYPE_CODE')=='2D POSTER'||
$v('P2_REQUEST_TYPE_CODE').indexOf('POSTER') != -1Regards,
