Dynamic Actions in Select List of Tabular Form

I have a tabular form in my application and one of the column A is Select List with lot of values. My requirement is, there is another column B in the same tabular column like Display text, which should appear when a user select A, B or C in the select list column A. Is it possible, how can I implement it?
I tried it through Dynamic Actions ->DOM Objects, but I am not sure what is the name of the Select List column value that needs to be specified, it is jst f06 or f06_???. Can someone tell me the exact steps that needs to be followed.

My mistake, Javascript (and DOM attributes/methods) are case-sensitive. The attribute in question is readOnly, not readonly
I fixed it on my example page at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:255
<script type="text/javascript">
function ro_Item(nd,a){
    var lEl = html_GetElement(nd);
    if (lEl && lEl != false){
       if(a){
      lEl.readOnly = true;
      lEl.style.background = '#cccccc';
    }else{
      lEl.readOnly = false;
      lEl.style.background = '#ffffff';
     return true;
function foo(pThis)
var lTD=pThis.parentNode;
var nextinput=lTD.nextSibling.getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
var nextnextinput=lTD.nextSibling.nextSibling.getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
if (pThis.value=="CLERK") {
ro_Item(nextinput,true);
ro_Item(nextnextinput,true);
else {
ro_Item(nextinput,false);
ro_Item(nextnextinput,false);
</script>

Multiple select lists in tabular form

Hi,
I created a tabular form with two select lists (Queries are same for both the select list and results around 300 records in the SQL).
I am getting the following error:
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
If I changed Select list to POP list, I am not getting error.
Please suggest how to user select list in this case.

Meda

Please suggest how to user select list in this case.It is not possible. There is a 32K limit on the HTML generated for select list items. (As a type of report, tabular forms are also subject to the 32K limit on the size of a report row.)
In terms of usability 200 options is about the maximum size I would consider sensible for a select list ( and for select lists in tabular forms, much, much fewer!)
Use Popup Key LOVs.

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.

Dynamic action on radio group in tabular form

Hi,
I'm very new to APEX and I've tried searching the web, but I can't seem to find a good answer for my problem. I have a page in APEX with a tabular form with 6 columns. The last column is supposed to show/hide a button for each row based on the value of a radio group (static LOV) with 2 options in column 5. I want to do this with a dynamic action on the radio group, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this. Since the radio group is in a tabular form it's not an item and so I can't just select it in the dynamic action wizard. I figure I have to use a JQuery selector here, but my knowledge of this is very limited.
I've created the button in the select statement for the tabular form like this:
select
"ROWID",
"DATA_COLLECTION_ID",
"ID",
"VARIABLE_NO",
"VARIABLE_NAME",
"DATA_TYPE",
'<a href="javascript:epf.dialog.open(''f?p=&APP_ID.:18:&SESSION.::::P18_ROWID,P18_ID:'||ROWID||','||ID||''',800,700);" id="Category" class="epf-button"><span class="epf-tooltip" data-epf-tooltip="Definer kategorier for denne variabelen"></span>Definer Kategori</a>' category
from "MATH_USER"."STA_VARIABLES"
where "DATA_COLLECTION_ID" = :P17_IDAny help would be greatly appreciated.

You must make the jquery selector based on column name (inspect your column using firebug/chrome and see the name attribute of the column form element, it will in format f0x).

It still doesn't work for me. From what I understood from the "Incorporating JavaScript into an application" page I should put the code in the JavaScript section. I tried that too, but nothing changed. So now I'm thinking there is something wrong with the code itself?

Two select lists in tabular form

I have two Select Lists which one of them depends on the another -the second one's query depends on the first one's - .....
This operation can be done in a form or a page, but how it could be done in a tabular form???
Saad

The simple answer is that to the best of my knowledge, it cannot be done because of how the tabular form works. If I understand it correctly, Tabular forms are populated completely at page load and cannot post back from items inside the form in order to refresh a list of values on the second select list. If you want to do this, you will need to build the form as a "Form and Report" page type where you have links in your report that populate a regular page form. Just tell it to put the form and the report on the same page them add a hidden page item that you set to 1 or 0 to display the form and setup the form processing so it is button tied instead of unconditional (You may have to duplicate auto processing processes).
The complex answer....there probably is a way to do this using AJAX as AJAX is good at this kind of stuff and every field in the tabular form has an HTML id of some kind....but I am not well versed enough in AJAX to give you a straight answer as to how to accomplish it. I used AJAX to do something similar to what your talking about but it was with regular page items (using a select list to populate a shuttle without a post back) and not items in a tabular form.

Can you order by label of select list in tabular form?

Imagine this scenario, you have an updateable tabular report based on a query like the following:
select emp_id
      ,ename
      ,dept_id
from employeesAnd you define the dept_id column as a query based lov, so you see a select list for departments.
select dept_name d
      ,dept_id   r
from departments
order by 1However if the user chooses to order by the department column by clicking on the heading to sort, they see the following order (note the H between A & B):
Accounting
Human Resources
BiodiversityWhich is because of the ID not being in the same order as the label
1 - Accounting
3 - Biodiversity
2 - Human ResourcesHow can I allow the user to order by the lov based column, but have it order by the label and not the reference id?
A colleague reckons she fought and lost this battle. Surely this must be a common issue? I can't seem to find any related questions.
Cheers,
ScottWe.

>
Option B: Convert to manual tabular form. Here is a sample of the report query (leave column display as at "standard report column").
select e. emp_id
      ,e.ename
      ,'<input type="hidden" value="'||d.dept_name||'" />'||APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(3,e.dept_id,'select dept_name ,dept_id from departments order by 1') dept
from employees e, departments d
where e.dept_id = d.dept_idI recently had problems when I had to apply a script to a page that used this technique: basically too many <tt>input</tt>s. Never understood why this element is used—guess it's the fact that it's "hidden". Anyway, an HTML comment works as well and is more out of the way:
select e.empno
      ,e.ename
      ,''||APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(3,e.deptno,'select dept_name ,dept_id from departments order by 1') dept
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno = d.deptno

Cascade Select list with Tabular Form

Hi,
I am trying to implement Cascade Select List functionality on a tabular form where users should be able to add multiple rows. The data should be saved to a temporary stage area, where users can review the data prior to saving to the table. Very similar to the shopping cart where one can Delete/Update rows by record. I believe there is a way to do it via APEX Collections. If anyone has an example it would definitely help. FYI, Running on APEX 3.2, so no built in cascade functionality.
Thank you,
Chandu

If you received a reply or figured out how to do this, can post? I need to implement exact same functionality and have not figured out how to do so. Have pinged Denes K. for source code on his demo app but not yet received response. Can this be done using wizard tab form or does it have to be a manually tab form?

OK, you didn't have the background process as an on demand process.
In the MRU and MRD process, you were referencing the wrong variables for the count. (as in deb's case, it's p176, but in your case its p35).
In the javascript function, the call that is supposed to assign : TAB_CASCADING_ITEM a value, isn't working (I believe).

Cascading Select list in tabular from

Looked at Denes example on Cascading Select Lists - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:119:2294401989620845.

a column in a tabular form in the same region. Is this possible?
The Onchange event is placed in the HTML Form Element Attributes for a page item but a column on a tabular form doesn't have this.

Multiple Select Lists on Tabular Report

I am trying to build a tabular report to allow users to edit records within a table. This tabular report has several non-editable columns on it as well as two select list boxes. Theh user would select a value from the first list box. That value would then become part of the where clause of the next select list box. However I have not been able to pass the new value to second list box.
My application deals with metadata, so here's how the screen looks: (Field names in {} are select lists)
Select File to Edit: {this list works fine}
[Field Name] [Derived] {Parent file} {*Parent Field*}
The Parent Field drop down is never getting populated. Parent file dropdown works fine.
I don't think the problem is with my select statement. I think the variable I am using in my select statement is never having it's value set.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hope this makes sense.
Don

there's currently no easy way to handle your request in html db. it might be doable using a few hacks here and there, but it's almost not worth getting into because of the complexity of the approach. my recommendations are that you...
a) consider setting your form up as a single-row update rather than a multi-row one. with a single-row form, it's a much simpler matter to have your {Parent Field} lov be driven by your {Parent File} one.
b) if the values in your Parent File lov aren't too great in number, you might consider handling this with javascript added to your tabular form page. i don't know that exact javascript, but you should be able to find it pretty easily on the web.
hope this helps,

Dynamic Population of Select List

I am stuck in a very frustrating situation at present, I need to dynamically populate select lists based on user choices.
There are three drop down menus, only the first one is pre-populated with the other two populating upon user selection of the previous one. I am using JSP and JavaScript in conjunction. I need to make a function call to a back-end library which exists on a servlet to get the data for the 2nd and 3rd drop down menus, the parameter for the function being the user selected option in the 1st drop down menu.
I know I cannot use the JavaScript "onchange" event handler as that won't help me call the back-end library functions. One way that I think is feasible at the moment is to do page refreshing, i.e. include other JSP's in one main JSP and refresh them as soon the user makes a choice. The other way is to embed an applet in a JSP page and use the JComboBox from the Swing libraries to detect events and make HTTP connections to servlets. I believe there is a possibility of using Struts to do this as well. Can someone tell me which would be the best method to use and a general overview of how to go about using it? I am also open to other alternatives...
Thanx for any help in advance

this can be done in two ways.
one way:- try generating a hidden form fields with the values comma seperated.
like <input type='text' id= id1 name = select1 value = 'coma seperated list of second select values' >
on on change event you can get the list of values which you need to populate in the second select box. generate the options dynamically by splitting the coma seperated list into the second combo.
second way:- while loading the jsp store all the second select box coma seperated list in java script array. and based on the change event of first select box get the corresponding values from the array and split them and generate the options dynamically and populate the second select box.
I guess this way you can solve your problem.

Select List field in Form not pulling correct record

I have a report that displays a Product Name and a Host Name. Each product can reside on multiple hosts and each host has multiple products, hence an associative table with product_host_asgmt_id, product_id and host_id is defined.
The report I created selects data from the associative table and presents the user the product names and host names without a problem. the same report has an edit link that when selected will open a form that should display the selected host name and product name. In the form both of these fields are defined as Select List. The issue is that the list shows all the LOV but does not focus on the one that was selected in the report to edit.
I unhid the product_host_asgmt_id, product_id and host_id in the form and the values contained are correct, so I think the Automated Row Fetch is working. This same form needs to be used for editing and for creating new values hence the Select List.
I I have the Source section of the Host_name select list field set to : Only when current session state is null and the Source Type is an SQL query selecting all host_name form the host table.
Any ideas how to get the values selected in the report to appear in the form?
Thanks and apologize if this is trivial. I'm a rookie Apex user (but I like it).

When you link to the form page, I assume you are passing the host_id value into a page item. Say you pass this value into item P2_HOST_ID, just make the select list item's Source Type Item (application or page item name) and enter P2_HOST_ID in the Source field.
This assumes that the lov query is of the form "select host_name d, host_id r from ...".
Be careful with Source Used "Only, ..." so that you never allow the page to display with a stale and unwanted value in P2_HOST_ID or that will produce an incorrect display value in the select list.

Dynamically changing the select list in an LOV based on the login user

We have a field in a form which is a combobox.The form is to be linked to different profiles of users.Based on the logged in user we would like to restrict the select list in the LOV.ie user1 should see a LOV which is different from that seen by user2.Is this possible.If so how can this be done?Kindly reply.
Thanks & Regds,
Jayanthi

Thanks for ur reply.But my problem is that i have a table having details of some products which includes spareparts also(Name,id,price etc).In my form i have the combobox field which should have a list of these products which the user can select.Now depending on the user's profile he should see only his related products(One profile of users should view only the products but not the spares while the other should view only spares.)The details of both the products and spares are in the same table.we have a criteria to differentiate between the products and the spares.The LOV should display at run time, either products or spares depending on his profile as he logs in. Hope u understood my problem.
Regds,
Jayanthi
Hello Jayanthi,
I had a similar situation in my last project.
While you can solve this by modifying your query, this will always come around as may be later some other criteria to restrict based on User/His Role/Something else. Hence I fixed it at design level itself. Though I can't give my situation I can tell you the solution applying my logic.
Altering your Product Table and adding one more database Column say Product_Category and updating the table with Product Category =1 for Products and 2 for Spares. You can extend this further for other types.
Create a new Table say User_Groups that will have
Group_id
Group_Name
User_Id columns and will contain all the User ids inserted groupwise.
Create one last Table Group_Product_Map
That will have
Group_id
Category_id
This will store each Group_Id followed by Category_id of Products to which these group members will have access to.
Now write a database function getCategory( p_User) which will query User_Groups table to get Group_Id
and further query Group_Product_Map Table based on group_id to get Category_Id.
This function will return category_id.
Huh!
So your LOV will have a query as select *(or whatever) from Product where category_id = getCategory(portal30.wwctx_api.get_user)
Hope this helps

Checked some items of multiple-selection list box when form loaded in infopath

Hi
I customize sharepoint list with infopath. I have multiple-selection list box and want to checked some items of that automatically when form loaded. how can do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to pre-select some items in the Multiple-Selection List Box.
I recommend to follow the steps below to achieve this goal:
Click Default Values under Data tab in InfoPath, expand the dataFields and navigate to the Multiple-Selection List Box field.
Set the Default Value of the Multiple-Selection List Box field.
Right click the field under the Multiple-Selection List Box group, then select Add another Value Below and set the Default Value for this field.
Repeat step3 based on the number of the items that you want to be pre-selected.
More information are provided in the link below:
