Dynamic Select List / Radio Buttons triggering conditional display of field

Hi HTMLDB Team,
I wanted to mimic this very nice and useful HTMLDB 'select list feature' at the HTMLDB "Create Application ... from Application Export file " ... option .
ie when you hit the form that asks you to "install the application", i,e
Builder - Application >Export Import>Export Repository>Install Application
you have the the following radio Options :
Install As Application
X Reuse Application ID 401 From Export File
X Auto Assign New Application ID
X Change Application ID
New Application
The "New Application ID" field appears only when I select "Change Application ID" radio option. That great and that's exactly what I want.
How do you do that ?
I am currently using a select list instead of radio list. It's the same thing ... I
I tried " many options of the "select list with redirect .... with submit .... but I was not successfful. All I am trying to achieve is to offer a list of departments ... but when the user select "other", I want to show a text field for the user to type in the "other Department" ... without losing what I had already entered in the form previously and without actually Submitting the form . I still have other fields to enter after the select list .
Is that possible with pure HTMLDB ?
Or do I have to craft up some Javascript .
I'd prefer pure HTMLDB .. I do not want to use javascript, to avoin a maintenance nightmare once I submit the code to other developers ...
Can you pls help ?
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
Take a look at these built in javascript function
they should give you what you want.
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:39
CarlCarl,
if I understand it right, these functions are already built in Apex 2.2.1.
I need to show an item with label when user selects certain radio button. This sounds like the opposite to f_Hide_On_Value_Item_Row function.
Can this task be done with apex built-in javascript functionality at this moment?
Thanks

Dynamic select list with display,return val & join condition issue.

hello,
I am having a dynamic select list with display, return value
say for example my select statement is
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt
right join emp e on (e.deptno=dt.deptno)
where (condition)
when i tried this query for my select list, it is not working. It saying that
" LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query. "
I am not able to understand the problem. Can anyone help me out with this issue?
thanks.

Shouldn't your join have dept as the driving table?
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt
right join emp e on (dt.deptno = e.deptno)
where (condition)
Or using older Oracle standard join
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt, emp e
where (dt.deptno (+) = e.deptno) AND (OTHER WHERE condition)
OR
(Since a right join is just getting the values from the driving table that are NOT in the associated table)
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt
WHERE dt deptno NOT IN (SELECT deptno FROM emp) AND (OTHER where condition)
Thank you,

Is it possible to make a fillable form have variable fields - so if you select a radio button it triggers a different form field to be seen depending on which radio button is selected??

Is it possible to make a fillable form have variable fields - so if you select a radio button it triggers a different form field to be seen depending on which radio button is selected??

Yes, one needs to use some custom JavaScript code to control the other fields' properties.

Connecting selection of radio button to a text or numeric field

Hi. I am using LiveCycle Designer 8.0 and I am trying to define object properties that will allow the selection of a radio button to populate in a numeric data field at the bottom of the page. I was able to write the script to have that happen with drop-down lists, but I can't figure out how to write the script for the radio button. I also don't know if the script is supposed to apply to the radio button itself or the numeric field where I want the result to show-up. Can you please help me with some sort of an example script? Thanks.

Hi Jen,
I would recommend that you amend your workspace in Designer. You can show/hide palettes from the Window menu.
Here are some pointers (which are optional):
This is the hierarchy palette and is very handy when working with forms. You can select objects quickly and drag objects around.
This is the Object palette, which makes it easy to drag objects onto the page.
The main space with tabs for Design View, Master Pages, XML Source (you should not need this) and Preview.
You can select objects in EITHER the page or the hierarchy view and then change properties in other palettes.
The Script Editor is very important when you start to add functionality to your form. It is visible on your screen shot, but it is limited to one line in height. So I would recommend that you drag this down so that you can see a few lines of script. The Show dropdown in the Editor allows you to look at the script in various events. In the example I posted, there is script in the click event.
Object palette (and Font & Paragraph palettes). These will allow you to make changes to various properties, depending on the object that is selected.
You will see from the screenshot that you can position and stack the palettes to suite your screen and workflow.
Now, in relation to your screenshot:
You have selected a single radio button in your group. You need to select the whole exclusion group, this is easy in the hierarchy palette.
In the Object > Binding palette you have ticked the Specify Item Values (good), but you need to edit the values to match the Display Items. For example for item "$85", the specified value should be "85".
For starters, I would recommend that you open a few of the palettes and then have a look at my example and the screenshots. Hopefully that will clear it up for you.

Dynamic table with radio buttons

I need to load a dynamic table with radio buttons that allow
the user to select an item in the table. I need to have it add a
radio button with a unique identifier for each table item.
For example: the table will load all of the seminars
locations available in a certain state, the radio button will allow
the user to select the city in which they would like to attend and
that value will get passed to the registration page. The value of
each radio button would be equal to the location_id in the database
for each of the locations in the table (The table includes the
date, day, venue, address, hotel info, etc. details for each city.)
When I add dynamic radio buttons and set the value to the
location_id in the database, it allows the user to select multiple
radio buttons. I cannot find any information on how to
resolve.....??
Any help is appreciated.

Dynamic Select List in Reports

Hi,
I have come across solutions to implement dynamic Select Lists. But can the same be implemented in a report.
I have a report of 2 columns which are select lists. The Value of one depends of the other.
Can this be done?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Abdullah,
Thanks for the Tip. However, couple of queries.
1) The first modification involves changing the query to : select lov_pkg.savekey() , colA, colB, ... But the function savekey takes a value.
Ideally, I need this function to be called while loading and when the first select list is changed. How can this be done.
2) Also, To make this change in query, I had to use (Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)) option. Now my Add Row button doesnt work? Can you tell me how that can be customized.
Thanks,
Sunil

Creating dynamic select list

I have a dynamic select list populated by site names and URLs from a map; when a user clicks on an entry the site name and URL will fill two text boxes. There are also buttons to add, update, and delete entries. These buttons lead to actions within my JPF file.
          When I select an entry to delete, the script runs a delete SQL statement again my Ora db instance, then the page content is repopulated. I want to know how come when I do that I always get the sequence ID of the just deleted entry at the end of my select list.
          Here is a snippet of what I've got:
          JSP:
                    <netui:select
            dataSource="{actionForm.siteList[0]}"
            optionsDataSource="{actionForm.itemOptions}"
            size="4"
            tagId="siteList">
          <netui:textBox
            dataSource="{actionForm.title}"
            size="30" maxlength="200" tagId="title"/>
          <netui:textBox
            dataSource="{actionForm.url}"
            size="30" maxlength="200" tagId="url"/>
          <netui:hidden dataSource="{actionForm.key}"
            tagId="key"/>
          <script language="javascript">
            
          </script>
                              JPF:
                    Connection conn = null;
          query = "delete from stlnt_other_ref_sites " +
                  "where stlnt_ors_site_id = " + form.getKey();
          try {
            pstmt = conn.prepareStatement( query );
            pstmt.executeUpdate();
          } catch (SQLException ex) {
          try {
            Map map = new LinkedHashMap();
            while ( rs.next() )
              map.put(new Integer(rs.getInt(1)), rs.getString(2));
              jsArray += "siteArray[" + rs.getInt(1)
                + "]=new Array(\"" + rs.getString(2)
                + "\",\"" + rs.getString(3) + "\");";
              hasResults = true;
            options = map;
            getSession().setAttribute("jsArray",jsArray);
            getSession().setAttribute("hasResults",
              String.valueOf(hasResults));
          } catch (SQLException ex) {


OK I got it working... Mostly... I don't know if it was a combination of changes that made the difference, but I'll put down what I did. First, I switched my select object in the form bean into just a string type from a string array (it was allowing the selection of one entry anyways). Second, rather than just blanking out the options map, I also blanked out the select object [eg form.setSelect("")].
          Now when I select an entry and click delete, the resulting select list is short one visible element. However, you can still select the blank spot where that last entry used to be. However, this is not a huge issue for me now; I will investigate this at a later time.

Dynamic select list with one static 'not_listed" option

Hi guys,
I want to create a dynamic select list with one static 'not_listed' option.
One possible alternative is to add the 'not_listed' record into database, but I really dont want to go that way unless there is no other way around.
Can anyone shed some lights on this?
Many thanks,
William

As usual : "It depends"...
If you have a foreign key defined on that field, Scott's reply won't work - unless you define '0 - Not listed' in the database. You can use selec 'not listed' d, to_number(null) r from dual though...
Another - more declarative way - is in the on 'Edit Page Item' page, in the 'List of Values' region set 'Display Null' to 'Yes' and 'Null Display Value' to ' - Not listed - '.

Creating a dynamic Selection List based on a View Object

Hello,
I'm new to JDeveloper and I would like to create a JSP Page with dynamic Selection List based on a runtime query or based on a view object (BC4J). The selection made by an user should serve another dynamic query with the necessary parameters that I built using createViewObjectFromQueryStmt(). By now I tried this using the InputSelectLOV from the Component Palette in JDeveloper. But without success. By the way: the selection list is not very large (5 values), so it's not necessary to have a form finding the desired value.
Maybe someone had experience about creating this already. Please give me a tip or a little example.
Thanks.

show how this is set up, then the questions:
The set up:

</cfif>

</cfmail>
<cfinclude template="thankyou.cfm">
THANK YOU PAGE:
Now on this page is where I get lost. I need to bring the
selection from the radio buttons over to here and serve up a button
according to the radio button selected back on page 2. Is this how
I do that? The same as I did in the sendmail?
<cfif "form.sponsor" = "1">
they get this button and info
</cfif>
<cfif "form.sponsor" = "2">
they get this button and info
</cfif>

Those are my questions, as well as this.
On page 2 I need to make it impossible to pass that page
without making a selection. How do I do that with radio buttons?
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.

hi phoenix!
ok, let's see...
your "thank you" page is cfincluded in the "sendmail" page,
so it will
have all the passed form vars available to it, which means
you do not
have to store the radio button selection in the session scope
or
anywhere else...
i think a cfswitch/cfcase construct to check for selected
radio button
will serve you better than lots of cfif/cfelseif/cfelse...
as for preventing submission of page2 without selecting a
radio button
first:
a) pre-select one
b) use client-side javascript to make sure one is selected
(use an
onsubmit event in the form tag or onclick event in the button
- you will
have to change the button type from submit to button, and
change its
name from submit to something else - there are possible
issues with
having a button named submit in your form if you are
suibmitting the
form through js...
c) you could also use server-side cfml to check that a radio
button is
selected but it requires a lot of extra code and changes to
your
forms/pages...

Dynamic Select List - XML and umlaut

Hi, I've recently implement a dynamic select list as per [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=327306], however it seems to break if I have any words containing an umlaut. I've tried setting the header on the Application Process to UTF-8 (OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE, 'utf-8');) but it doesn't seem to make any difference. The word in particular giving me problems is Kühne - it's the only non english entry so far, but I would expect others in the future.
Does anyone have any ideas how to allow this character to be parsed correctly? Short of using replace to check for this and every other possible character I'm not sure what else to do.
Thanks

Hello
I would like to create a dynamic select list where you can start entering a name and select list reduces with each character entered.
E.g. A list of towns in the UK where you want to select London. This list is delay as normal and as start typing by the time you have entered “Lon” the list only has few names starting with “Lon”
I expect I need a JavaScript to active this?Not in APEX 4.x. Use a Text Field with autocomplete item.

Dynamic select list crashes with php

HI All,
I can't seem to get a dynamic select list to work in
dreamweaver. It completly crashes everytime I try adding it to my
page. I found someone else in the forum who had the same problem
but no one ever responded. I've tried several things including
putting just the record set and dynamic select on it's own page
with no other code on it. It still crashes DW. I also tried coding
it myself by making a listmenu and modifying it so that the option
value equals a PHP echo of a value. It crashed there too. Does
anyone have a piece of code with a working dynamic select list that
uses a record set that I could look at? That way I can see where
I'm going wrong. All I'm trying to do is get a simple drop down
select list of employee names so someone can choose their name to
get commission. It's a one table, 2 fields (first & last name)
record set.
Using DW CS3, php & MySQL.,windows XP Pro
Any help would be really appreciated!

Dynamic select list: link to another page

Hi
Have following dynamic select list at the bottom in "product.php" page (www.dolls.com.sg)
<div id="selectcat">
<select name="Categories">
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_rsCategories['categoryName'], $row_rsCategories['categoryName']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rsCategories, 0);
   $row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
?>
</select>
My target is, whenever a visitor clicks on a category in the pull down menu, he is forwarded to the respective "categories.php" page.
How can I do that?
Thanks
Helmut

Change your code to this:
<div id="selectcat">
<form method="get" action="categories.php">
<select name="Categories">
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?>">
    <?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rsCategories, 0);
   $row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="View Dolls">
</form>
</div>
In categories.php, use $_GET['Categories'] to filter the recordset.

Default value dynamic select list

Hi everybody,
I have a question concerning dynamic select lists.
I have a report of a table that shows some records. Each record has different versions of data. So when you click on a record you get to another page where you get some information about this record and where you can select the version of this information (with the help of a select list).
The select list works fine and is defined dynamically as follows:
select distinct a.name display_value,
a.version_id return_value
from cn_pl_version a,
cn_pl_std_peplanung b
WHERE a.version_ID = b.version_id AND
b.pe_id = '&P6_HELP_PRODET.'
order by a.version_id desc
My problem is that when I click on a record I always get the report filled with the oldest version of the current record, so I always have to choose the newest version in the select list manually. I would prefer always to have the newest version in the report.
The query for the report is as follows:
select
(select sum(stunden) from cn_pl_std_peplanung t02
where abt_id = '10'
and t02.pe_id = t1.pe_id
and t02.version_id = t1.version_id
and t02.idee_id = t1.idee_id) stunden_ir,
(select name from cn_pl_version u01
where u01.version_id = t1.version_id) Version
from cn_pl_std_peplanung t1, cn_pl_projektelemente z1, cn_pl_version u1, cn_pl_projektidee s1
where t1.version_id = '&P6_VERSION_WAHL.'
and t1.pe_id = z1.pe_id
and z1.pe_id='&P6_HELP_PRODET.'
group by t1.pe_id, t1.version_id, t1.idee_id
'&P6_VERSION_WAHL.' is the item of the select list
'&P6_HELP_PRODET.' is the ID of the current record
I'm not sure if you understood my problem, my english isn't the best...
Thanks for any kind of help!!

Hi Patrick,
what value does you select list show, when you branch to the page? Is it the correct one?
If not you should change your select list, that the correct version is selected as default. You can define a "default value" when you set the source of the element.
Otherwise you can maybe set up an example application at http://apex.oracle.com.
