How to Build an Auto-Expanding Select list

Hi everyone,
I want to know if it's possible How to Build an Auto-Expanding Select list ?
I saw some discussions which tell us to use Jquery to acheive this. Is it the only solution ?
I want a solution that it is easy to implement.
Thanks in advance. Bye.

Hi,
Not sure what you've seen before, but anywhoo:
In my select list, i set element attributes of :
style="min-width: 130px"Just because some of the smaller values were getting truncated.
Then I add this onload javascript code:
$('#P10_AUTO_EXPANDING').change(function(){
$(this).width($('option:selected', this).text().length*10)
})It's not perfect for getting the right size (i.e. i think it increases exponentially, but you can play around with the multiplier)
Which you can see: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=45448:10:

Probably best to add this line of code:
$(this).width($('option:selected', this).text().length*10)
into a dynamic action for a change event of the item, of which the true action is to execute javascript code.

How to enter values in the selected list by pressing f4

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem can any one help me in solving this?
When we go to any table thorugh se11 or se16 to display all the records based on the selective fields like pernr, company code, benefit plan in a Z-table
Here when I want to display records of selected benefit plans by using the field bplan. here when I go to that bplan field and press f4 then gives me a list of benefit plans, from that list I have to select proper benefitplan for selected records of that plan
1. Question:
I have two new plans , can any suggest me how to add in the f4 list of that field. Is it done through any program?
Another issue,
I have a report program, when I execute it gives me selected list fields like pernr, date, and some more fields. if you select some fields with the help of f4 , we can choose correct value,
2 Question,
I have two new parameters to be added in the f4 list of the fields in the Needed very urgent?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi
You can create a search for that field with more than one fields and yu can add the search help for that field
see the doc
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
where left position when displaying and spos = search position
and then save and activate ..

How to get the value from select list to text box

Hi,
I have a select list i want to retrieve the value from select list to text box.
How can i do that???
Regards,
Sakthi.

Hi Sakthi,
Yo can use the Java script for that..
Dynamically the value will come into text box.
Use the below script.
<script type="text/javascript">
function disFormItems()
var lReturn = $v(here your select list name)
alert(lReturn);
document.getElementById(here your text box name).value =lReturn; }
</script>Cheers,

How can I get two column selection list in my html form

I required to have two column selection list in my jsp page to show name and description of a product. How can i achieve this functionality or is there any other alternative to do so.

If i understand correctly: you can't actually create two columns in a list because it can only hold one value. The only way to achieve what you want is by concatenating the two values you want to display and put this as the value of the listbox.

How to fix the length of select list box?

Halo, i am doing the research. I need to find out what is the method to fix the length of select list box. This is b'cos i can set the length of select list due to different length of record(s)/data(s).
Another question to select list box. What is the maximum length of the select list box?? Can i enter the character with 255 lenght??
Thank you very much..... a prompt reply will be appreciate!!

Thanks for ur reply! actually that answer that you gave is right, but i also need to know what is the maximum lenght of character in the select list box?? any idea to that??
Meanwhile, i also need to know how can i make the character display in select list box dynamically?? that means i can change the font style or font size??
Anyway, thanks for ur answer.

How to set width of a select list?

Hi,
another newbie question from me :-)
When I create a select list the default width is 30, no matter what I set this value to the width of the select list stays the same, it gets as wide as the widest element in the list. This messes the design of the page. I f I have three select lists in a column I want them to have the same width. How do I accomplish that?
/Magnus

Edit the item and in the HTML Form Elements Attributes field type the following:
style="width:120px";adjust the 120 to whatever width you like

Auto find Select List

I'm using a Select List (with submit) in my application and it's a long list, the available select list search by the first letter (if I pressed two letters it would search for words begins with the second letter)....
Can we find or create a Select List with more than one letter search facility.
Regards
Saad

This does work in IE7, but you have to type quickly!!
If you have a list of:
Andrew
India
Martin
Michael
Richard
And type 'M', pause, 'I' you will jump first to Martin and then to India.
Type 'M','I' and you will jump first to Martin and then to Michael
There does not seem to be a limit on how many letters you can type - just don't pause.
Hope this helps,
Martin

How to write a PL/SQL select list with submit page?

Let's we need some select list that are related with each other. I wrote such a code.
declare
gn_start_id number := 0;
glabel1 VARCHAR2(100) := 'Group ';
glabel2 VARCHAR2(100) := 'Property';
begin
htmldb_application.g_f01(1) := 100;
htp.p('<BR>');
htp.p
( glabel1 || ' : ' ||
     htmldb_item.select_list_from_query
     p_idx => 1,
     p_value => '--Select a value--',
     p_query => 'SELECT m.vproperty, m.NMAP_PK_ID
          FROM table m
          WHERE m.ngroupid = ' || to_char(gn_start_id),
     p_show_null => 'NO',
     p_null_value => 0)
htp.p('<BR>');
htp.p
( glabel2 || ' : ' ||
     htmldb_item.select_list_from_query
     p_idx => 2,
     p_value => '--Select a value--',
     p_query => 'SELECT m.vproperty, m.NMAP_PK_ID

     p_show_null => 'NO',
     p_null_value => 0)
end;
However, I am not able to submit page automaticly, when user select a value from the select list?
How can I do this? Thankz

I found such a solution.. thanks

How to build an ObjectName pattern to list all objs of type=ServerConnector

Hi,
I would like to list all the MX objects of type=ServerConnector. How to build the pattern?
The example below doesn't work (with pattern: resin:type=ServerConnector").
It works when I want to list all objects and use pattern ("resin:*") or when I choose a specific ("resin:type=ServerConnector,name=b");
Thanks for any advice,
Ala
{code}
Object Name pattern = new ObjectName("resin:type=ServerConnector");
MBeanServer mBeanServer = Jmx.getGlobalMBeanServer();
Set poolNames = mBeanServer.queryNames(pattern, null);
{code}
And here all listed MX objects:
resin:type=SessionManager,Host=default,WebApp=/
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=i
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=h
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=b
resin:type=Resin
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=j
resin:type=ProxyCache
resin:type=Host,name=default
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=c
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=e
resin:type=Port,name=192.68.1.50-6802
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=g
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=a
resin:type=ThreadPool
resin:type=WebApp,Host=default,name=/
resin:type=WebApp,Host=default,name=/mya
resin:type=ConnectionPool,Host=default,WebApp=/mya,name=jdbc/mya
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=f
resin:type=Cluster,name=cluster1
resin:type=ServerConnector,name=d
resin:type=SessionManager,Host=default,WebApp=/mya
resin:type=Server

You need to add a comma and asterisk to your pattern:
Object Name pattern = new ObjectName("resin:type=ServerConnector,*");The pattern you are using will only match a single MBean with that exact name. There has to be an asterisk in the string in order for it to match like-named MBeans which have key/value pairs other than those in the string.
For more on this, search in this javadoc for the string "property pattern":
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/management/ObjectName.html

How to display a value from Select List by default

I have a Select List on a form and I need to on page load show an entry from the SL depending on the user Id of the user logged on. For example, if the SL had 3 entries: 'Div1', 'Div2', and 'Div3', depending on the division the user belongs to (I can determine that from his user Id using a SQL), say, I need to display 'Div2' to the user in the SL instead of the usual NULL or '---- Select Div ----'. 'Div1' and 'Div 3' entries will still be part of the SL, but for user's convenience I need to display their division.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Ajay,
you need to specify your apex version, database version and so on to make our help specific.
Anyhow you can create a page process- for example one at On Load before header.
For example;
[code]
declare
v_division varchar2(32);
begin
--select default division
select my_division
into v_division
from my_division
where my_division=:APP_USER;
:P_DIVISION:=v_division;
end;
[/code]
Then in the default of your select list, specify P_DIVISION as the default. Using one of several methods

Anyone know how to copy an auto-complete dropdown list?

I'm on a website where a dropdown list exists for items I've typed in the past. I want to keep the list in a text file but I have no way of copying it. Anyone know how to copy such a list?

You can also use the SQLite Manager extension to create a CSV list of names.
* SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
# Open Profile Directory -> formhistory.sqlite -> Go
# Open Tables > moz_formhistory
# Hit the Execute SQL tab
# Use a Select like this: (moz_formhistory.firstUsed and moz_formhistory.lastUsed are available)
<pre><nowiki>SELECT moz_formhistory.id,datetime(moz_formhistory.firstUsed/1000000,'unixepoch'),fieldname,value
FROM moz_formhistory
WHERE moz_formhistory.id</nowiki></pre>

How to make columns in the select list dynamic

Hi
I need to make columns in the select query dynamic.I have three tables.Table 1 contains master information lets say name of group(A group consists of members of various skill sets) and its period(A group is of specific period lets say for 18 months).Table 2 contains different skill sets corresponding to a group i.e there is one to many relationship between table 1 and table 2.Table 3 contains months information of skill sets.For example if skill set 1 is required for 5 months then there will be 5 rows(for each month) in table 3 corresponding to a skill set i.e there is again one to many relationship between table 2 and table 3.Tabale 3 will also contain man month value for perticular month.I need to show all the periods of a group and its sum of man month value for all skill sets.
If group1 is of 6 months (starts nov2006 and ends Apr2007) and has 5 skill sets then there will be one entry in table 1 and 5 entry in table 2(For skill set).For each entry in table 2 there will be 6 entry in table 3(for each month).I need to write a query which would display
Group name nov2006 dec2006 jan2007 feb2007 mar2007 apr2007
Gr1 10 15 21 17 18 22--These are sum of man month of all skill set for a particular groupIf Gr 2 is of 9 months then it would disply all the information in respective months.i.e for group 2 nine months information and group 1 six months information
Pls help
Thanks in advance

How uninstall a printer from the selection list

Dear All,
I have installed a software called VipRiser, a PDF printer software but it did not work like I thought and so I deleted it again.
But there are still 3 "virtual printers" in the system:
Any idear how I can get rid of this.
The softwar has no uninstall function.
In the web I found this:
emove /usr/libexec/cups/backend/vipriser (you need be an admin)
remove /usr/share/cups/model/vipriser.ppd and /usr/share/cups/model/vipriser.icns (as an admin)
but I do not understand this unix?-commands
Can anyone help?

*DELETE*
Manually search your HD for all files w/the name VipRiser.

How to build an auto- range measurement?

I use a DAQ card PCI MIO 16E4 . I want to build an autorange measurement. My input signal is from nA to mA. I am a LabVIEW user, pelase help me.

hanh and Sean:
I have been thinking about this and it does not appear trivial. A nA to mA span is 6 orders of magnitude. WIth a single 1K resistor (value arbitrarily picked) this current range will generate 1uV to 1V. Not an ideal situation at the lower end for good resolution. Using a 10K is still 10uV to 10V, again 10uV is just a few bits of full scale max input. I think a better approach could be to switch various ranges of resistors (i.e. 1Mohm, 100Kohm, 10Kohm, 1Kohm) in circuit (via digital outputs driving a circuit to drive DIP reed relays) to bump the voltage up to get good resolution for whatever the current is. 'Autorange' could be applied by setting DAQ input level programmitically (do not know if this can be done with this card) at highest sensitivity, looking if overrange, and if so then switch to next lower value resistor. Repeat as needed until in a good usable voltage range.
Of course you need precision resistors whose actual value is known for optimal accuracy. And can the circuit supplying the current provide the voltage burden (voltage drop across resistor)? Will sense resistor load down circuit, etc....
If it were me, and the application constraints and accuracy demanded it, I would rather buy a higher end Fluke, Agilent, or Keithly meter with a GPIB interface.
Or, would a PCI-4070 suffice?
I am not trying to shoot down the use of the MIO 16E4, but without further details like accuracy, is it AC or DC, measurement thoughput, etc, I am pointing to some potential issues you may come across.

How to create Dynamic Selection List containg file names of a directory?

Hi,
I need a Selection List with a Dynamic List of Values containing all file names of a particular directory (can change through the time).
Basically, I need an Iterator over all file names in a directory, which could be used for Selection List in a JSF form.
This iterator has nothing to do with a database, but should get the names directly from the file system (java.io.File).
Can anybody tell me how to create such an iterator/selection list?
I am working with JDeveloper 10.1.3.2, JSF and Business Services.
Thank you,
Igor

Create a class like this:
package list;
import java.io.File;
public class fileList {
    public fileList() {
    public String[] listFiles(){
    File dir = new File("c:/temp");
    String[] files = dir.list();
    for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(files);
return files;
Right click to create a data control from it.
Then you can drag the return value of the listFiles method to a page and drop as a table for example.
Also note that the Content Repository data control in 10.1.3.2 has the file system as a possible data source.
