How to avoid focus issue while navigating via Browser Back button

Hi
I'm facing some problem in setting focus on Buttons.
Please refer application: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=47869:2
login credentials:
Workspace: vsanthanam
user: vijay
pswd: apex_demo
In this application, i have 2 pages.
Page#2 has Submit button
Page#3 has Cancel button
Both buttons are HTML based and can be accessed using access Key ALT + s and ALT + c.
The problem is:
When i go back to previous page (pgid#2) of the application using IE Browser's Back Button from pgid#3,
because of onFocus event set in Submit button, control comes back to pgid#3.
Is there any possible way to set the focus to other items. so that whenever IE brower back button pressed, application would remain in
page#2.
Approaches i took:
If we use onclick, instead of onfocus then again the problem remains since we have to have onfocus = "this.click();" to incorporate Accesskey features.
Another way is onKeyup event. if we use onKeyup, we can avoid this browser back issue, but vanishes access key features.
Any pointers on this would be of great help.
Many Thanks
--Vijay
Please NOTE: I intentionally created two buttons in each page. This is required to have HTML buttons with access key features,
otherwise application gives some flaws in HTML-accesskey.

Thanks a ton Andy!
This is what exactly we require, to change the focus to other items when we move away from page.
application works perfect now.
Thank you once again for your handy solutions.

If you don't have a SIM card in the phone, you must put one in. It's required for activation.
If you do, then your phone was probably hacked to unlock it from the original carrier. Contact them and see if they will unlock it. If they will not do so, then you can't use that phone.

The browser back button is not working correctly when using the search funtion in ProBoards forums. Is there a known issue with ProBoards & FF?

I have submitted a bug report to ProBoards, but they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, so I am submitting this here in hopes you can find a solution.
At ProBoards Support and another PB forum while doing searches I found this problem, which continues with repeated testing over the past week or so:
url: http://support.proboards.com/search
1. enter perameters for the search (posts only by staff for the last 2 days)
2. choose one of those post results & click on it (choose a post on page 14 and not on page 1 of the results)
3. using the browser back button, attempt to return to the previous page of search results
4. rather than being taken back to the search results with my parameters, the search parameters have been removed and the page show 1000 results of posts by everybody.
I have tested this over and over again, disabling plugins, and nothing seems to alter the malfunctioning of the back button when I am doing this search function at ProBoards.
I have tested it in Internet Explorer and find that in IE the browser back button works properly with ProBoards searches. I always get the result I expect, so it's a problem with how FF interfaces with ProBoards, I think.

To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.

Browser Back Button and form navigation

Some times when you use browser back button and adf-taskflow navigation buttons, validation on form fails, witout having made any change even with enabled token validation.
Reproduction steps on HR schema:
1. Create QueryDepartment and EditDepartment Views and navigation rules in adfc-config.xml
2 Create ADF view only table page for QueryDepartment selectable, and add navigation button to go to EditDepartment
3. Create EditDepartment form with navigation buttons and button to navigate back to QueryDepartment
test:
1.Run QueryDepartment and select a department
2.Go to Edit Department using navigation button
3.Navigate to next department pressing the 'Next' button
4.Navigate back using the Browser Back button.
5.Try to navigate back to QueryDepartment using the navigation button.
My result is validation error on DepartmentId field 'Error: JBO-25013: '
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

Hi,
maybe I don't get it, but as I understood you have problem with focus on select button. So why don’t you set focus onLoad on another element of your page?
Something like onload=”$x(‘ELEMENT_NAME’).focus()”;

How to avoid duplicate data while inserting from sample.dat file to table

Hi Guys,
We have issue with duplicate data in flat file while loading data from sample.dat file to table. How to avoid duplicate data in control file.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
LKR

No, a control file will not remove duplicate data.
You would be better to use an external table and then remove duplicate data using SQL as you query the data to insert it to your destination table.

How to avoid Duplicate Records while joining two tables

Hi,
I am trying to join three tables, basically two tables are same one is like history table, so I wrote a query like
select
e.id,
e.seqNo,
e.name,
d.resDate,
d.details
from employees e,
((select * from dept)union(select * from dept_hist)) d
join on d.id=e.id and e.seqno=d.seqno
but this returing duplicate records.
Could anyone please tell me how to avoid duplicate records of this query.

Actually it is like if the record is processed it will be moved to hist table, so both table will not have same records and I need the record from both the tables so i have done the union of both the tables, so d will have the union of both records.
But I am getting duplicate records if even I am distinct.

Parallel Device Creation - How to avoid Locking Issue

Hi All,
I am using 'ENQUEUE_EIMASE' and 'DEQUEUE_EIMASE' to lock the MASE table inorder fetch the current serial number for a particular Device Category . Then this serial number is increased by one and FM 'READ_MASE' is used to save the new serial number in MASE database table.
This works when we are creating just one device at a time for a particular device category.
But if for the same device category am trying to creat devices parallelly through same program or differrent program, then its not working properly.
For Eg:
I am trying to 3 create devices for the same device category simultaneously through different programs, then only for first one which has obtained the lock on MASE table am obtaining the serial number . And for the other 2 locking of table fails.
Could you guide me to solve this issue?

This is not an issue, while the record is being locked by program 1, it cannot be locked by program 2 simultaneously. Thats why we use locking mechanisms. You need to intoduce some time based mechanism like waiting for the first program to complete, or event based method, like keep on trying to lock the record in a loop, untill it gets successfully locked (After the lock is released by program one). Also remember to unlock all the records you lock in your program at the last, though they get unlocked automatically.

BDC - How to ignore skipped screens when user click on back button

Hello all,
I am working on a module pool program. From this custom transaction I am calling a standard SAP screen using BAC call transaction. I am calling this screen by skipping 2-3 screens and user can directly see the 3 screen on an event on my custom transaction.
Now my issue is whenever the user want to back, he clicks on back button then user have to back from all the screens that I skipped.
Is this any way by which if user click on back then he can directly go to my custom transaction.
Please suggest.
FYI..
I am calling IA06 - Inspection characterstics screen from my custom screen using BDC.
Thanks,
Sanket Sethi

Hi Jovito,
I also think the same that it's not possible. Now my issue is how to get my requirement.
FYI..
To open Classification screen directly we have a function module CLFM_OBJECT_CLASSIFICATION. But if I want to open IA06
Inspection characterstics screen we don't have any FM or API to do the same.
So how will I get my requirement done. That why I use the BDC call transaction to open IA06 Insp. characterstics screen but here I am facing this Back issue.
Please advice if there is any suggestion.

How to retain the java applet generated code when back button is pressed!!

I've a jsp page in which i've wirtten the code which specifies the word which i write in the text box, then through the applet i'm showing the word which is written in the text box. It means my applet is running and it show the words which i've written in the text box. Now when i click on submit it goes to the next page and when i click on browser's back button then except the applet generated code everyone retains its values. Is there any way to find it out when it encounter the back button click then applet should be restarted. so in this way without writing the whole application form and in the applet generated code i can submit it again.
My question is how do i reatin the applet generated code when a click button is being pressed (b'coz for the textbox, textareas everything retains it)
any suggestions or guidance are most welcome.
thanks in advance....

you don't need to navigate explicitly. Just clear the back stack till your specific page and say goback. below is the code you can use.
protected override void OnBackKeyPress(System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
e.cancel=true;
RemoveBackStackTillSpecificPage("page2.xaml");
GoBack();
public static void RemoveBackStackTillSpecificPage(string pageName)
PhoneApplicationFrame frame = Application.Current.RootVisual as PhoneApplicationFrame;
var previousPage = frame.BackStack.FirstOrDefault();
if (previousPage != null && previousPage.Source != null)
while (!previousPage.Source.ToString().Contains(pageName))
frame.RemoveBackEntry();
previousPage = frame.BackStack.FirstOrDefault();
public static void GoBack()
PhoneApplicationFrame frame = Application.Current.RootVisual as PhoneApplicationFrame;
LastPageUri = frame.Source;
frame.GoBack();

How to get the values retained on clicking the back button in jsp page

Hi All,
I had two jsp's search and results. In the search page when i enter some values in the text fields, the rsults will be displayed for that search criteria. I had a back button in the results page. When i click on this back button i will get back to my search page. I am using the following code for this back button.
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE='Back' onClick="javascript:history.go(-1)" class="button">
Now the problem is when i get back to search page using this back button, i am not able to get the values in the search page which i entered, i am getting all blank values. What should i change to get these values back in the search page. Should i maintain any sessions for this?

You have no control at all over the back button process. To the server, it's indistinguishable from the user simply tying the URL of your search page. So, you need to store this data server side*.
When your search page is submitted and processed, store the values you received for each of the fields into the user's session. Then, when the search page is generated, check the session for these values, and for any values that are not null, put their values into the html as the default values for the textboxes and controls you are using. This lets you handle the whole matter on the server's side.
*barring convoluted, unportable, black-magic javascript trickery which you should definitely avoid

How to clear parameters defined in selection screen on back button

Hi,
I have a report with parameters, few being input fields, and check boxes. After report is executed when user selects the back button, the selection screen is displayed again but with the old selection values. I want to clear them.
So in the Initialization even I added the code to clear all these parameters;
CLEAR: p_aaa, p_bbb, p_ccc.
I debugged and control passes through this code but still the fields are not cleared and they retain the old input values.
How to clear them ?
thnks

IMO, he only wants to clear the selection screen parameters on the click of 'BACK' button
in the list screen. If the OP clears the selection screen variables in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT
even, the values assinged to the selection parameters in the INITIALIZATION and with the DEFAULT addition of the PARAMETERS and SELECTION-OPTIONS statements will also be overwritten even when the report is executed for the
first time.
