Formating of simple text item

Hi
Where does a simple text item pick up it's style from? (if you use the H1 etc. for example).
I am using 9.02
Thanks
Dave

Items get their style from the page or the region, if the region has been configured to use a different style. The portal-supplied styles do not define the standard browser styles (H1, strong, etc.), so you are most likely seeing the browser default if you use these styles in text items.
If you want to define your own style sheets, you can do so in an Unstructured UI Template.

Css and js in simple text items.

Portal 9.0.2.3
I've read in other threads that you can add javascript and css into simple text items by clicking the 'View HTML Source' checkbox and adding the js or css code.
When I do this then apply it the code that I have added disappears and therefore has no effect on the item.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers,
Steven.

That's a known problem with the IE rich text editor that would require a fix from Microsoft. In 9.0.2.6 we allow you to disable the editor at the page group level as a workaround to this problem, but then all users have to enter plain HTML.
As an alternative, you can use the HTML portlet or a dynamic page portlet to enter script and other problematic HTML code. In 9.0.2.6, you can disable the editor for a page group that is used to maintain banners and nav bar, and then publish those pages as portlets.

What is best format for simple text animation in iWeb?

I want to use a simple text animation "movie" in my site using iWeb. I don't want the controller visible -- and I want the animation to play automatically. I went to Inspector and checked for it to start automatically, but no effect. I still have to manually click on it. The mov file plays fine, but not automatically.
Second question: is mov the best file format for what I'm tryin to do? I admit to getting lost with all these formats/codecs.
Thanks.

Its not so much the movie format that matters as the way in which you decide to play it on your page.
Dragging a movie file onto the iWeb page requires that the visitor has the QuickTime plugin - which a lot of people don't. Flash is not the answer anymore due the fact that iOS devices don't support it unless you provide fallback to HTML5.
Here are some alternatives...

Numeric Format Masks on Text Items

Hello all.
I've been struggling to find the best way to use format masks for numbers on text items.
So far, I've found that the property "Format Mask" on the SOURCE group does not work. Am I correct?
I am trying to use To_Char to format the number, but I always get "NUmeric or Value Error".
In short, what is the easiest and most widely used way to format numbers (my language is pt-br). Ex.: 12500.00 becomes 12.500,00.
Thanks

Peter's solution shows you the syntax for to_char to get what you want; just replace the hard-coded number in his example with the value (or the expression giving the value) you're trying to format. So, something along the lines of:
select to_char(t.value, 'FM999G999D00', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='',.''') val,
    to_char(t.factor, 'FM999G999D00', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='',.''') fct,
    to_char(t.value * t.factor / 100, 'FM999G999D00', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='',.''') rslt
from table t
where...Or, in a slightly more readable manner (I don't like having to constantly escape quote marks):
select to_char(t.value, 'FM999G999D00', q'{NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=',.'}') val,
    to_char(t.factor, 'FM999G999D00', q'{NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=',.'}') fct,
    to_char(t.value * t.factor / 100, 'FM999G999D00', q'{NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=',.'}') rslt
from table t
where...-David

Number format mask of text item is not applied

Hello all,
I want to format a number like 999G999G999G999G990D00
Is specify the format mask under source of the item. But it is not applied and I don't understand why.
See http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=53873:2 for example
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers in the application at once? I want to have a thousand separator in most cases.

Hello Jacob,
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers
in the application at once? I want to have a thousand
separator in most cases.I am using substitution strings for things like that. You can define some "global" substitution strings on page application definition.
So you just have to put in the format (999G999G999G999G990D00 ) in there once and give it a name. Let's say NUMBER_THOUSAND.
Afterwards you can reference it wherever you need the format e.g. this way:
to_char(10000,'&NUMBER_THOUSAND.').
This way you just have one place where to change the format model.

Tine

Mass Formatting for Repetative Text Items

Recently I was working on an InDesign document that had a Atlas section higlighting each state on a seperate page. Each page had the same headers and this was repeated throughout the document. So in the case of this particular document the 8 headers on each page were repeated 50 times throughout the document. As I was applying styles to each of these headers I thought to myself, man it would be nice if you could define a set of conditions to InDesign character styles. Kind of like setting an email app to auto-sort certain messages if they contain a phrase or word."
For example you could create a condition that says:
If text after hard return reads "Quality Improvement Process" apply style "Subhead Style 2"
If you wanted "Subhead Style 2" to be applied to several different paragraph headers you could simply add a new condition. Then it would be just a matter of going through the document to make sure that condition didn't get accidentally applied where it shouldn't have. What is a 3 to 4 hour formatting job could become a half hour process.
Thoughts anyone?

Actually, I may have misinterpreted the question.
First, if the same information is repeated in the same place on many pages, it belongs on the master page. Type once - appears many, andy you only need to edit one place. Variables are valuable for making running heads on a master page as you use the variable tag, and it can pick up the correct text from the page.
If you need to style this text in order to work with variables (or for any other reason) you can use find/change to do it. Search for the text in question, replace it with itself, and in the change formatting options apply the style.

Report - Formatting text IN text items

I'm trying to create a report with (at the end of the report) a text field extracted from the (Oracle) database.
A user creates the value of the field, with a sort of HTML formatting on the text (to make text in BOLD is used and , for ITALIC and and to UNDERLINE...).
If I generate the report in HTML format everything is OK, but in PDF format I've got the tags written with the text.
This mean that instead of having:
"Hello World"
I've got
"Hello World"
Is there a way to let Oracle Report display a text item with some words in BOLD (ITALIC, etc) and some others not?
I've tryed the "Contains HTML Tag" without any result, I'm currently using 6i, but I can switch to 9i.
Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

OK I used the ' " ' to put your message into a box at the start of mine, but I don't seem to be able to use the ">" to "indent" my text... For example-- the following is not indented: >So now I am putting this text here in quotes, let's see via PREVIEW.
No, that doesn't seem to do anything...
Steve
You have to put the > character at the beginning of a line.
Alternatively, you can use this HTML to set off text as a blockquote without the background:
<blockquote style="margin-left: 50px;">Quoted text goes here</blockquote>
Which will render your text like this:
Quoted text goes here
You can add your own background color like this:
<blockquote style="background:lightblue; border:1px solid black; padding:3px; margin-left: 50px;">Quoted text goes here</blockquote>
Where 'lightblue' can be replaced with any CSS or HTML color name.
This will render your text like this:
Quoted text goes here

Text items not being refreshed by LOV items.

Hi all,
I've got a strange LOV behavior problems which I cannot solve and require your valuable time and efforts.
I've created a simple ADF JSF pages with 3 fields and the first field is LOV enabled. For all new row, after clicking the LOV icon, the LOV will show up and after selecting a particular value, it closes the LOV screen and replace it with a new row with the selected LOV data. It is all working well for all new rows just like a normal LOV should perform.
But I had problem with existing data. The row which I selected from the LOV somehow cannot referesh and overwrite any existing row (visually) but after commiting the data, it was actually written and refreshed with the correct data. Is there a property in the JHeadstart Application Definition Editor where I enforce the text items to be refreshed by the LOV items?
Thank you for your time and efforts.
Kind Regards,
John

Hi Guys,
I've performed the following scenarios attempting to refreshed Text items by the LOV Items.
Scenario 1: Create a new column called some_key load unique number into it. Set this column as the primay key and deselect existing primary keys as key attributes. Also, I've created a sequence and some_key is of type of DBSequence getting value from the new sequence starting from 1.
After generation when run and the result is:
JBO-27022: Failed to load value at index 11 with java object of type oracle.jbo.domain.DBSequence due to java.sql.SQLException.
## Detail 0 ##java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index
Scenario 2: Create a unique index for the some_key column, rerun and the result is:
JBO-27022: Failed to load value at index 11 with java object of type oracle.jbo.domain.DBSequence due to java.sql.SQLException.
## Detail 0 ##java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index
Scenario 3: Set some_key as number instead of DBSequence (from Entity Object Editor), rerun and the result is:
JBO-27021: Failed to load CustomDatum value at index 11 with java object of type oracle.jbo.domain.Number due to java.sql.SQLException.
## Detail 0 ##java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index
Scenario 4: Deattach the offending View Object from the Application Module. Remove the offending view link and view object. Recreate view object and view link. Reset some_key is of type of DBSequence getting value from the new sequence starting from 1 (From the Entity Object Editor). After generation when run and result is:
SUCCESSFULLY!!
So, I guess the bottom line is here are the following things which you need to perform in order to enable text item to be refreshed by LOV item (if the detail table has composite primary keys)
1.) Create a new column
2.) Load unique value to it
3.) Create unique index for it
4.) Create entity object, view object and view link object.
5.) Set the new column as primary key.
6.) Deselect the key attributes for all composite primary key columns.

John

Problem in formatting of long text -- line break not recognized.

Hi ,
We have a PO smartform in our SRM system and we are facing problem with formatting of long text on the smartform for long texts maintained for the PO.
for ex, we maintain the long text as --
"this is long text for item 1.
1. this is line 1.
2. this is line 2."
On the smartform it is displayed as --
this is long text for item 1. 1. this is line 1. 2. this is line 2.
So basically, the line breaks in the text are not considered in the smartform .
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue ??
Thanks.

Hello Harmeet,
Which Std. FM are you using to fetch the PO texts? If the PO doesn't exist in your system, i'm afraid you cannot use Include Texts as mentioned by Harsh.
As an alternative you'll have to create a table & pass the text lines to it! I don't think SmartForms are not smart enough to identify new-line character.
BR,
Suhas
