How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms?

Hello all,
How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms? This might sound trivial but I have a problem with a PL/SQL Validation that I have written.
I have one select list (P108_CLUSTER_ID) and one Text field (P108_PRIVATE_IP). I made P108_CLUSTER_ID to return null value when nothing is selected and assumed P108_PRIVATE_IP to return null value too when nothign is entered in the text field.
All that I need is to validate if P108_PRIVATE_IP is entered when a P108_CLUSTER_ID is selected. i.e it is mandatory to enter Private IP when a cluster is seelcted and following is my Pl/SQL code
Declare
v_valid boolean;
Begin
IF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
END IF;
return v_valid;
END;
My problem is it is returning FALSE for all the cases.It works fine in SQL Command though..When I tried to Debug and use Firebug, I found that Text fields are not stored a null by default but as empty strings "" . Now I tried modifying my PL/SQL to check Private_IP against an empty string. But doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how I need to proceed.
Thanks

See SQL report for LIKE SEARCH I have just explained how Select list return value works..

How can I format a field in the form creator?

How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure to assign unique form field names.

How to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)

hi
can any one tell me how to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)
i want to add expenses field to system a/r invoice form and connect data base also.
i used the code of samples\11.system form manipulation(vb.net) but i'm not able to get it....so can any one help with code or concepts.
reply soon plz..
thankQ

If I understood you correctly, you are just trying to add new fields to the invoice form and then use them in your form. you should first go and add the field to your tables, which you would do by going to Tool --> User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields. There are different documents or categories given. For ex. for invoices, Sales Orders you would add your field under the Marketing Documents. If you want the field to be just one per invoice, add it to the Title, otherwise if you want a field per invoice or Sales Order line, add it to the Rows section. Once you have done that then you can just create a edit box or drop down to represent the field and set the datasource for that to your field. If you want example code to do that, let me know.

How to validate input fields as the user is filling up a form with jQuery?

How can I Validate all fields of the form and show validation summary?

Hello,
I am building a dynamic form with livecycle. I need to implement two fetures:
1. Show the user all invalid fields of the form when he tries to submit it (show him validation summary) and guide him to correct the errors.
2. Remove the highlight frame from mandatory fields after user enters his input.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Peter.

Okey once more a try...
Normally you don't get a list of the fields that didn't pass the validation. So, you have to script the list by yourself!
If you put the validation script in the exit field that means if the user doesn't enter the field, the script won't be executed.
You could make an additional script into presave, presubmit, validate or whatever that will force the user to go to the field.
For example make a field only mandatory if the user doesn't enter anything.
Way to make mandatory fields that won't be shown if the user had provided response
if (this.rawValue == null) {
this.validate.nullTest = "error";
this.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
this.assist.toolTip.value = "This field is mandatory, please provide a response...";
xfa.layout.relayout();
else {
this.validate.nullTest = "disabled";
this.border.edge.color.value = "255,255,255";
this.assist.toolTip.value = "This field is optional...";
xfa.layout.relayout();
Will JUST get mandatory if the user doesn't provide response. (Is an older script I got here and changed slightly for you.)
Do the parts in the event that should "fire" them. Probably divide it into two parts with two if statements instead of the else...
Think good about the event!
Way to make a list of what things the user has forgotten!
You can make an invisible TextField that will be shown AND populated if the user tries to submit something invalid.
Calculate Event of the Textfield:
this.rawValue = " "
if (Dezimalfeld1.rawValue == null)
{this.rawValue = this.rawValue + "*Please enter something into Dezimalfield1, Page1,... ";}
if (Dezimalfeld2.rawValue == null)
{this.rawValue = this.rawValue + "*Please enter something into Dezimalfield1, Page1,... ";}
(Of course you've got to name the fields exactly.
All scripts are JAVASCRIPT!)

Restricting data entry to a particular language in the form

Hi,
I created a multilingual form in which all the fields of the form are in a particular language . Now am trying to restrict data entry in the form to that language at the client side only . Say if it is a form in french, can we restrict the data entry to french only . The approach i was trying to implement was adding a script against the change event of all data fields and see if the characters lie in the range of the language unicode character set . But have not been successful in it yet . Can anybody help me find some way or provide any sample for it ?
Thanks

Hello, I'm German
Probably you can restrict the characters used for text entry, so for example ü is allowed in the German form but not in French.
But you will NEVER be able to restrict the users staying only writing French in French forms 100%.
1) You sometimes, not often, do encounter letters that are not typical for the language. (Though it can appear in any kind of word, it's quite regular for names.)
2) Let's say I fill the French form. I encounter a problem when I type in the word "Müller". This word wouldn't be French at all. The text will be delted and probably given an error message. Well... I learn out of this error message. Next time I'll type Mueller. ^^
(I knew several pages were people were restricted to talk English by forbidding letters that were not used in English very often... That didn't stop us violating that rule. The only error that really bugged us wasn't the restriction in not using letters that don't exist in English but the "please don't swear or insult so." error that kept appearing for ex. when we used the German word for "that" (= "dass"). They just didn't like the last 3 letters.)
3) Many countries have the same or include other countries unicodes. For example English could be written in the German form or in the French form.
4) You can't get out the syslanguage as far as I know. This would be a great hint which language the person is using.
5) I don't think you can use the spellcheck in any way... great violation against spellchecking could also be a hint for another language.
I know a quite big internetcommunity which did try to accomplish the same as you do. After about 2 years and a lot of experiments they stopped their efforts and were content by popping up the random error-messages warning that you don't have to insult, just like those other communities mentioned above. ^^ (Though they tried to restrict the insulting parts to the language used that didn't work out. Too many people knew how to insult in other languages ;D or which words were similar to insults.)
People just never do what they are supposed to do and are quite nasty finding workarounds...
My advice to you would be:
Don't make the effort.
Sorry for not being able to provide you with a solution, but the opposite.

Dynamically adding fields to the form when button pressed

Hi all,
In my application, there is a form from which I need to be able to insert data into 7 to 8 tables...
Creating a view and inserting data into 5 table sis fine but there are 2 table whose structure is as follows.
server_app_rel : server_id, app_id
server_jack_rel : server_id, jack_id
Here each server can have any number of applications and any number of jacks...
I am not able to create a view ( to create a form on this view).. since the number of appllication and jack columns are not fixed. The user should be able to associate all the applications and jacks to the server in the same form...How can I insert multiple rows into tables from a single form when I dont know how many application and jacks(app/jack columns) the user will associate to the server..
Also, How can we add fields dynamically to the form?
Our requirement is by default we have to show only one application field and one jack field in the form..And when the user clicks on 'Add more Jacks' or 'Add more Apps' button, respective fields should appear on the form to add data..( this is like 'Add column' button when we create table)..
Can someone please give me inputs on how to proceed..Am stuck with this from 2 days..It would be really very helpful if someone can give me atleast the links where i can find this info..
Thanks,
Nehal

Hi,
You are receiving XML message within a field. To access a particular field from that XML message, you could create a User Defined Function, as suggested by many already.
You could write UDF using some of the String operation functions. This could include following:
1. If you need to access field Employee PersonnelNumber, you could get last index of that within string using function lastIndexOf(String str). Pass string "Employee PersonnelNumber="" for this function.
2. This function would return an index of rightmost occurance of this string.
3. after this you could get the index of next occurance of ", as the value of field is within quotes. You could use function indexOf(int ch, int fromIndex) for getting the same. You would pass Character as " and index as the one received by previous function.
4. Now you have index for starting and ending point of value string for desired field.
5. After this you could use substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex) function by passing first and second index values to retrieve the needed string, which contains value of field.
Hope this would be helful.
Thanks,
Bhavish
