Hidden fields in a form Dreamweaver 8

I have a problem I can't resolve. I have with a bunch of
hidden fields in a form. The problem I have is that some of the
anchor points are not showing in design view for all the fields,
just a couple show up. I have View Invisible elements in Visual
aids turned on.
Fields 1,2,3,9,10,11,15 don't show
Fields 4,5,6,7,8,12,13,14 show
Here's the code, can someone tell me what I did wrong?
Any help will be appreciated

Hi Max,
This is possible in portal forms.
The code to get the value of a field is some thing like this.
You need to generate this javascript function using pl/sql in the Additional pl/sql Section - ... before displaying the page or ... after displaying the page.
htp.p('
<script>
function myFunc(ele)
var l_form = ele.form;
var win;
var val;
var l_url = "<url>?";
for (var i = 0; i < l_form.length ; i++){  // This is the way you traverse along all the form elements.
if (l_form.elements.name == "<field to be refered>"){   //something like this for the field you wish to refer ==> QUESTION_RESULT.MASTER_BLOCK.QID.01
val = l_form.elements[i].value;
l_url = l_url+val;
win=window.open(l_url);
</script>
Then call any fiels you wish to for the purpose of set or get of values.It can be even a hidden field.
Hope this helps,contact for further clarifications.

  • How to set hidden field value in form?

    I've encountered a problem while developing a forum using JSF. See this code:
    <h:form id="commmentForm" formName="commentForm" >
         <h:input_hidden id="pageId" valueRef="CommentBean.pageId" value="${article.id}"/>
         <h:input_text id="userName" valueRef="CommentBean.userName"/>
         <h:input_text id="userEmail" valueRef="CommentBean.userEmail"/>
         <h:input_text id="userURL" valueRef="CommentBean.userURL"/>
         <h:input_textarea id="content" valueRef="CommentBean.content"/>
         <h:command_button id="submit" label="Leave A Comment" commandName="submit" actionRef="CommentBean.createAction" />
    </h:form>
    I was trying to specify a hidden field that represents the unique ID number of the current article using <h:input_hidden> tag above. But RI complains that runtime expression is not permitted in 'value' attribute. So I set the attribute 'value' to arbitrary number such as '2', but it seems that CommentBean.pageId is still null.
    So the question is:
    1. Why can't I use EL in JSF tags attributes?
    2. How can I resolve my problem mentioned above?
    Thanks very much in advance!

    To solve the problem, you have to use two hiddenfields, say:
    <h:input_hidden id="pageId"valueRef="CommentBean.pageId" />
    <h:input_hidden id="articleId" valueRef="article.id"/>
    I want to set the value of CommentBean.pageId to
    ${article.id} (article is not a managed bean) and to
    let CommentBean.createAction insert a database row
    whose page_id column is ${article.id}, so I think the
    tags you suggested won't work for me.Why can't you interrogate your ComponentBean for its pageId property during your invoke() method? By the time your invoke() method is called, the value from the hidden field will have been pushed to the model, so this should be no problem. You could do Application.getValueBinding("ComponentBean.pageId").getValue() to do so.

  • Very Strange Problem... Missing hidden field when deployed on JBOSS

    This problem is driving me nuts. Here it is... When I deploy my app to TomCat it works fine. When I deploy to JBoss everything works except the links . When I select a link rendered via JBoss the directory containing the JSP is displayed. I can also see that my filters are not being called in this case. I compared the HTML produced by TomCat to the HTML produced by JBoss and there was one minor difference. This hidden field was not rendered in JBoss:
    <input type="hidden" name="contentView:contentForm:_idcl" />When I manually include this in the JSP and run JBoss.. It works.
    I have spent a full day trying to figure out when the hidden field is not being rendered when deployed to JBoss... I would very much appreciate any suggestions.. Thanks in advance. Paul

    I have the same problem under deployment to WAS, all <h:commandLink>s are out of order. The hidden form field '...:_idcl' is missing in the generated JSP, but will be generated under Tomcat.
    Have you found a solution?
    Cheers, Ralf.

  • Hidden field in form returns null value

    Hi all - I searched for this but found nothing that fit my problem although various other problems came up.
    I have a Login jsp, with a simple form for username and password:
    <form name="login" method="post" action="servlet/ControlServlet"
    onSubmit="return validateForm()"><table width="180" border="0"
    cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                <tr>

                  <td width="84"> </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                  <td><input name="username" type="text" size="15"
    maxlength="15"></td>
                  <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                  <td class="logintext">Password</td>
                  <td> </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                  <td class="logintext"><input name="password" type="password"
    size="15" maxlength="15"></td>

                  <td> </td>
                  <td><div align="center"><a href
    ="Register.jsp"><i>Register</i></a></div></td>
                </tr>
              </table>
              </form>Nothing complex in that form. my hidden field is actionCode and it should pass a 0 to my ControlServlet servlet.
    Here is a snippet from my servlet:
    import java.io.* ;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    public class ControlServlet extends HttpServlet {
      public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
                        HttpServletResponse response)
          throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html");
                //get the printwriter to output for debugging
                PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
                //read in form variables
            //String formUsername = request.getParameter("username");
            //String formPassword = request.getParameter("password");
            String action = request.getParameter("actionCode");
            //convert String to int for action
            //int actionInt = Integer.parseInt(action);
            //add action variable to request
            request.setAttribute("aktion", action);
                //debug point 1
                //use requestDispatcher to forward session info to JSP
               RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
               request.getRequestDispatcher("/mvcoutput.jsp");
               dispatcher.forward(request, response);I have commented out a bit for debugging purposes, but basically, the form variables are read in, the username and password don't give me any problems, but the actionCode does. Upon forwarding to a basic jsp for testing my output displays value "null" when using the command:
    request.getAttribute("aktion")Any reason why the hidden field is playing silly buggers ??
    cheers

    Anyone ???
    If I have a field in an html form which is hidden, do I retrieve it in the SAME WAY that I retrieve the non hidden form fields i.e. using the request.getParameter() method ??
    Cheers.

  • Gaps appear in IE 6 browser window for hidden fields in Create User form

    Hi,
    I need an urgent input on this one.
    I hid an OIM default attribute for users in the 'Create User' form by modifying clear_all_fields.js
    The field is hidden from the 'Create User' page fine!
    But if I open the page from Internet Explorer 6 it shows a gap in the place of the hidden field.
    For Mozilla 3.0.5 the gaps are not appearing.
    I tried removing these gaps by deleting the tags and the field in the clear_all_fields.js
    or, by reducing the dimension of the spacer.gif in GenerateCreateUserForm.jsp.
    But it reflected no change in the form look n feel.
    The requirement is to hide the fields and not remove them.
    Any suggestion as to what may be the way out?

    Thanks for the update Leonard. This would be an extremely useful plugin. I've been looking for it on http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/ under the plug-ins tab but have been unable to find it. It wasn't even there in the Pre-Release Programs. Is it located somewhere else or with a different name? Please let me know.
    Meanwhile, I've been trying to write my own VB script to get the button clicked. Here's what I've come up till now-
    FindText
    HiliteList.Add->CreateWordHilite->SetTextSelect->GetBoundingRect->PointToDevice
    The last function seems to be deprecated. Also there's nothing to connect the text highlighted by findtext with HiLiteList.Add. I guess
    I may have to use the JSO word search method.
    Any advice, as always, would be much appreciated.

  • Manual tabular form and hidden fields

    Hi,
    I have a manual tabular form with some hidden fields, one for the primary key and one to handle my checkbox.
    The checkbox handling I got from here:
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:123:4202825883202781:::::
    Here you can see my very simple example:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=22968:3:4142231640027285:::::
    My query:
    select
    to_char(dag,'day dd mon yyyy') dag
    , HTMLDB_ITEM.HIDDEN(1,pk) pk
    , htmldb_item.text(2, ben1) ben1
    , htmldb_item.text(3, ben2) ben2
    , htmldb_item.text(4, ben3) ben3
    , htmldb_item.text(5, ben4) ben4
    , htmldb_item.hidden(6, cb1) cb1_hidd
    , htmldb_item.checkbox(7, ROWNUM, NULL,DECODE (cb1, 'Y', ROWNUM)) cb1
    from dummy
    My problem is that I don't want to show the columns hidden_pk and hidden_cb1. But if I set them to not shown they are not parsed in my html page. Maybe that's all natural but how do I handle this problem??
    Any ideas?
    Regards Daniel

    Stick them to another item, like this
    select
    to_char(dag,'day dd mon yyyy') dag
    , htmldb_item.text(2, ben1) || HTMLDB_ITEM.HIDDEN(1,pk) ben1
    , htmldb_item.text(3, ben2) ben2
    , htmldb_item.text(4, ben3) ben3
    , htmldb_item.text(5, ben4) || htmldb_item.hidden(6, cb1) ben4
    , htmldb_item.checkbox(7, ROWNUM, NULL,DECODE (cb1,
    'Y', ROWNUM)) cb1
    from dummy

  • Form Letter Report - How To Format Date and Number Hidden Fields

    Hi
    Is it possible to format date and number fields in a form letter report. This case were Paper Design shows fields as $<hire_date>. The examples in reference book only print character values which do not require formatting. I cannot determine how to achieve this. Cannot select fields from Paper Design view as per other report styles where can apply formatting. Do I have to perform formatting in the query to return date as string in format I wish for? This is not case for other report styles.
    Thanks

    you could add a field, set the source of the field to hire_date (assuming hire_date is a column in the data model), and put a format mask of whatever format you want. then set visible to No.
    then instead of &<hire_date> you can instead type &<name of your new field>.

  • How to pass hidden field values on a click of a table row

    hi all,
    href = "bookAndNonBook.do"
    I am very new to struts. I have created a table using displaytable tag which displays results in a tabular format. In addtion, i have a hidden field (prodType), the table rows are getting highlighted when i get my mouse on a particular row.
    Following is the code from the results.jsp file
    <body
    onload="addRowHandlers('row', 'rowMouseOver')"
    bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="100" topmargin="50"

    </BODY>
    I am calling a funtion addRowHandlers which passes the table id (which is row) and the rowMouseover for highlighting the rows on mouse over.
    the code for function addRowHandlers is
    function addRowHandlers(tableId, rowClassName) {
    var previousClass = null;
    var table = document.getElementById(tableId);
    var rows = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
    for (i = 1; i < rows.length; i++) {
    rows.onmouseover = function () {
    previousClass = this.className;
    this.className = this.className + " " + rowClassName ;
    this.style.cursor="hand";
    rows.onmouseout = function () {
    this.className = previousClass;
    this.style.cursor='';
    rows.onclick = function (){
    var cell = this.getElementsByTagName("td")[0];
    var ProdType = cell.innerHTML;
    alert("value of prodType = " + ProdType);
    when i run the above code and click on a particular row it returns me the value in the hidden field i.e. prodType for that particular row
    Now where i am having problem is i want that on the basis of prodType my jsp file should call different actions for different prodType as returned....somwhat a function like this
    function submitProduct(prodType) {
    if(prodType == "BK")

  • Enable/disable fields in Workspace form

    Okay here is my scenario. I need to disable some fields on a form depending on which user logs onto workspace to open the same form.
    1. User1 logs onto workspace and opens leave request form, fields at the top of the form are enabled for the user to fill out, bottom fields which are for leave request administrator to fill out are disabled but visible.
    2. User1 fills out top portion of leave request form and completes form. Workflow sends form to leave request administrators "To do" list in Workspace.
    3. Administrator opens up submitted form in Workspace and sees User1's filled out data on the form and the bottom fields are now enabled for administrator to approve or dissaprove. Bottom fields only include two check boxes, two text fields and one date field.
    Now how is this done? I am sure their maybe scripting involved? if so what is it and at what events in the form? Is this whole process done in the form or through Admin UI or Workebench as well? Please help!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Rahat,
    You can use the same form and enable/disable some fields according to the user's role with only little scripting. Review the steps the below:
    1-First place a hidden field ("user_role") in your form
    2-Insert a script object into your form onder "Variables" in object hierarchy and write a script for enabling/disabling the fields (regarding the value of "user_role")
    3-On the initialize and change events of the "user_role" call your script object
    4-On your process design, put a SetValue service before User tasks. In the asssignment you should set the desired user_role to the form, so that the script is triggered in your form and the fields are enabled/desiabled
    Fro further needs on your form or process design you can contact us from: http://www.kgc.com.tr/company_Contact.html

  • More help with visible and hidden fields

    Looking for the script that will let me click a button and then show hidden text fields.
    Here's what I want to do:
    I have a text field on my form that if another text field is needed, the user clicks the "Add another Case" button and the hidden text field will appear.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.
    Basically, I have several needs on this form:
    First,  I only want a text field to be visible if the Add New button is selected.  Otherwise I need the text field hidden.
    Secondly, I have several text fields where I need to allow for multiple entries of the same type of information.  Such as Party Information (which consists of name, address, city, state, etc.)  There will be more than one party, so I would need the form to record the first information for the party, then the user clicks Add Another Party......which then clears the previous information allowing for the user to enter the next party info, and so on.
    I'm sure this is all basic stuff, but as I said, I'm new to this and just need to be set in the right direction.  Not sure how to get you the form.
    Thanks a bunch

  • Hiding Fields in Adobe Form

    Hi,
    I have some fields in my form that i want to hide. I added in some javascript into the button-click event. When previewing in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer, the fields are hidden successfully,but  when i press F8 button the fields are not able to hide.
    My JavaScript is:

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    you can use as below,
    below Scripting can be used to ahcive this.
    1. FormCalc Scripting.
    2. JavaScript.
    Combination of both is also allowed in same form.

    Hi sushmita,
    Thanks for ur reply.
    The solution which you have given i have  already tried but not working.
    my requirement is like MGR or HR can initiate the process.
    if only MGR intiates the process the solution which u have given will work.
    but here i have a diff scenario.i have created separate process for HR also but im not able
    to see that process on the process list.
    so i have to use only one process and resolve this.whatever im writing validation is working
    only when MGR initiates the process but fails when HR initiates.
    Hope u got my point.any suggestions will be helpful.
