FORM MULTIPLE SELECT JAVASCRIPT

Some folks have posted that Javascript could be used to provide a multiple-select option on a form element (users can select multiple values, which are processed into one csv string by Javascript and sent back to the appropriate column in a table)
If you know how to do this, could you please post, step by step, how this could be accomplished. Say for a case where an employee in EMP could work in multiple departments, the DEPTNO value was a varchar and the form would enable something like 10,20,40 to be entered into the DEPTNO column via a multiple select
I'm using 3.09

I would also be interested in this. I've already done it the hard way...(actually it wasn't too bad after all) by writing my own function to parse the list of values and then validate them one at a time. It would be nice to be able to pick them from a list...

  • Get all the values from a multiple select in a multipart form

    Hi there!
    I am using a form with enctype="multipart/form-data" in order to upload files from the form.
    I have read this page: http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/using.html and everything works well for my form.
    The only problem is that I can't get all the values from a "multiple select" html object. I get only one value.
    Using servlets I have used this method:
    public java.lang.String[] getParameterValues(java.lang.String name) But now I have enctype="multipart/form-data" in my form and I can't use this way...
    Is there a way to get all the values of a multi-valued parameter?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Multiple Select boxes in one form

    Does anyone know if it is possible to have multiple select
    boxes inside one form? I have six different select boxes that are
    generated by six separate queries. The action page for all six
    select boxes is the same so I just want one submit button so users
    don't get confuse. I don't want to cluster up the page with submit
    buttons but I may resort to that option.
    My problem is the select boxes generate a number and when
    that number is submitted I want to pass two other variables with it
    to the action page. I tried putting a "Form" tag around the 6
    select boxes. Inside each select box I tried to add an "Input
    type="hidden"" and give thte name and values that I needed. That
    worked for the first select box but when I tried the second select
    box it used the hidden values for the first select box.
    If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you
    have any other suggestions I am open to any.
    Thanks

    Paross1,
    I wasn't thinking about that and you gave me a great idea.
    Here is how I changed my select boxes.
    <cfform
    action="Resolution_History.cfm?year=#year#&sessiontype=#sessiontype#&btype=res"
    name="form">
    <select name="SRINPUT">
    <option value="">SR
    <CFOUTPUT Query="findSR"><Option
    Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
    </select>
    <select name="HRINPUT">
    <option value="">HR
    <CFOUTPUT Query="findHR"><Option
    Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
    </select>
    <select name="SCRINPUT">
    <option value="">SCR
    <CFOUTPUT Query="findSCR"><Option
    Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
    </select>
    <br>
    <select name="HCRINPUT">
    <option value="">HCR
    <CFOUTPUT Query="findHCR"><Option
    Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
    </select>
    <select name="SJRINPUT">
    <option value="">SJR
    <CFOUTPUT Query="findSJR"><Option
    Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
    </select>
    <select name="HJRINPUT">
    <option value="">HJR
    <CFOUTPUT Query="findHJR"><Option
    Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
    </select>
    <INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Submit" alt="submit
    button">
    </cfform>
    On the action page I need the below IF statement to work so
    it will set the variables. It isn't working at this time. Its not
    bringing the values of billnumber, houseorig or the billtype.
    Do you have any thoughts? I know it is close. I need to set
    all of the inputs to input4 to generate my queries.
    <cfif form.srinput gt 0>
    <cfset houseorig eq "s">
    <cfset billtype eq "r">
    <cfset srinput eq input4>
    <cfelseif form.hrinput gt 0>
    <cfset houseorig eq "h">
    <cfset billtype eq "r">
    <cfset hrinput eq input4>
    <cfelseif form.scrinput gt 0>
    <cfset houseorig eq "sc">
    <cfset billtype eq "r">
    <cfset scrinput eq input4>
    <cfelseif form.hcrinput gt 0>
    <cfset houseorig eq "hc">
    <cfset billtype eq "r">
    <cfset hcrinput eq input4>
    <cfelseif form.sjrinput gt 0>
    <cfset houseorig eq "sj">
    <cfset billtype eq "r">
    <cfset sjrinput eq input4>
    <cfelse>
    <cfset houseorig eq "hj">
    <cfset billtype eq "r">
    <cfset hjrinput eq input4>

  • How to submit a multiple-selection list box in an Infopath Sharepoint form as multiple entries on a Sharepoint list?

    I would like to be able to submit an Infopath form with a multiple selection list box in Sharepoint as multiple entries on a Sharepoint list.
    For example, a user has to complete the following fields:
    First Name:
    Last Name:
    Favorite Color (can select more than one):
    [] Blue
    [] Red
    [] Yellow
    [] Green
    If the user picks blue AND red and submits the form, the Sharepoint list would feature TWO entries, both with their first and last names, but with different colors in the "Favorite Color" column.
    Please let me know if there is a way to do this. Any guidance would be helpful!

    Hi redhotc,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set multiple default values for a multiple checkbox list in InfoPath form.
    I did a test with SQL database table. I set three default values for the checkbox list by adding three values field under the group field(Data->Default values), each value field is for a default value. Then publish it to my SharePoint site, everything
    was fine.Please have a try as the below link:
    http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/pre-select-items-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath-2010.htm
    Note: if you are using SQL databse table, you may need to enable ‘Allow cross-domain data access for user form templates that use connection settings in a data connection file’ in CA. More information, please refer to:

  • Multiple selections in an HTML form

    The option selector (<select>...</select>) in an HTML form allows the
    user to make multiple selections. However, when the form parameters
    are posted to an XSQL page, only the first value selected will be
    assigned to the corresponding XSQL parameter.
    This is very unfortunate, because I would like the selected values to
    be used in a query like this:
    <xsql:query>
    select ...
    from ...
    where ...
    and elem in ({@list})
    and ...
    </xsql:query>
    where 'list' is the name of the option selector. However, since only
    the first value selected is substituted, the query does not work.
    The <xsql:include-request-params/> will "rowify" the values selected,
    but this can only be utilized by a style sheet associated with the
    XSQL page.
    Does anyone know how to get access to all the selected values in the
    XSQL page?
    HELP!

    Hi,
    Here is an approach that may work for you.
    In the registration process, assign each individual a userid...  e.g. bob123.
    When they log into your site, create a SESSION variable, SESSION.userid = bob123.
    In your db, for every player have two fields, one is the userid of the person that is attached to that player, and another field for the jersey number.  You could also have a field for assigned/unassigned.
    Populate the grid with the unassigned players.  Have the empty jersey number field on the grid and make it editable.  When an individual assigns a jersey number to the person, (you can have them update after each person selected or at the end), you can let a cfc update the db and using their SESSION.userid, they become the "owner" of that player.  The update also will update the db with their jersey number.  The update can also turn them from unassigned to assigned so noone else can "claim" them.
    Now anytime the user logs in, they'll have their players, easy to get to using a WHERE sql statement = WHERE SESSION.userid = bob123.

  • Listbox with multiple selection in interactive forms

    Hello experts.
    I'd like to use a listbox in my form with enabled multiple selection.
    The form is part of a WebDynpro ABAP Application.
    Reading the context to get the content of the form fields works fine as long as I don't use a list box where
    multiple selection is enabled.
    When I use the box I only get the values of all other fields, but not the selected values of the box.
    My context node for the pdf looks like this:
    - *Node for PDF*  (Cardinality 1..1; Selection 0..1)
    -- Attribute 1
    -- Attribute2

  • 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.

  • Multiple select multipart/form-data + FileUploader

    There's nothing more dangerous than a resourceful idiot

    Multi-part requests are not packaged the same as regular requests, so the getParameter() method doesn't work on it (although I think it would get anything passed through the query string as part of the action parameter but I'm not sure).
    You can also try the com.oreilly.servlet class MultipartRequest. I don't know if that's the same one found in the www.servlets.com link, but it is REALLY easy. Essentially, it looks like this:
    MultipartRequest mr = new MultipartRequest(request, "[pathtosavefiles]'");
    String param = mr.getParameter("paramname");
    So instead of calling getParameter() on the request object, you now instead call it on the MultipartRequest object. When you instantiate the MultipartRequest object, it parses the request body for you, and also saves any uploaded files into the directory you specified in your path in the constructor.
    I hope that helps.

  • Multiple Selects on Form

    Several questions about multiple selects on Forms.
    I want to create a form with a multiple select list. I know I can do this if I based the form off a table, correct? I mean, I try but the form does not allow me to put multiple selects on a form based off a table
    So what I did was create a procedure that has a parameter of type owa_text.vc_arr, but the form freaks out. It just hangs at "Retrieving Form Data".
    So, what gives? Can I use multiple select lists on forms? If not, why have them in Portal?
    Rich

    Hi Richard,
    In Portal it's not possible to create a form with a multiselect.
    Oracle has remove this feature from Webdb. Don't ask me why.
    The Multiselect is now only available for the parameter forms or reports. You can use them in a where clause like WHERE DEPTNO in :v_dept.

  • Process multiple select form element in JSTL

    I am trying to retrieve the values from a multiple select dropdown. From searching the forums, I now know that I need to use getParameterValues instead of getParameter in JSP. However, how would like to do this in JSTL with the core tags? Here is the code I now have (but it only prints the first element selected from the multiple select.
        <c:forEach var="map_entry" items="${param}">
          <strong><c:out value="${map_entry.key}"/></strong>
          <c:out value="${map_entry.value}"/><br />
          <c:forEach var='stuff' items='${map_entry.value}'>
            <c:out value='${stuff}'/><br /><br />
          </c:forEach>
        </c:forEach>Notice the second foreach loop doesn't work (it only prints the first value). Any ideas? Thanks!

    use something like this:
    <c:forEach var="elem" items="${paramValues.multipleSelect}">
    <c:out value="${elem}"></c:out>
    </c:forEach>
    the key is "paramValues" instead of "param"

  • RE: Getting multiple values from more than one multiple select popup window

    I have a button on a JSP of mine that when clicked creates a popup window (right now it is called popup.html) with a multiple select menu.

    Use a form button instead of a link so that you can send it as a request parameter to the server. In the server side just use HttpServletRequest#getParameterValues() to obtain all values for the given parameter name. If you really need a link rather than a button, then use Javascript to submit the form on click of the link.
    That said, your design is bad. Java code belongs in Java classes, not in JSP files. Database access logic belongs in a DAO class. Business and controlling logic belongs in a Servlet class. Only presentation logic belongs in the JSP file. Avoid scriptlets as much as possible and use JSP EL and/or JSTL instead.

    what doesn't work... picking multiple options (you need to shift- or control-click), or the moving? The moving appears to be handled by Javascript, so you need to look at the MoveOption function, cuz maybe it only supports one value.

Maybe you are looking for
