How to Testrict Maximum Characters in tabular form

How can I restrict user for maximum character length in tabular form ? in master forms we can define maximum character lenght by using option "Maximum width"
Thanks,
Suhaib

Andy,
I've tried to put the following in my "Element Attributes" of a tabular form "text" element:
maxlength="5" onChange....
A test of the tabular form does not restrict character entry to 5 characters. The page source actually shows both maxlength="2000" and maxlength="3' for the input type tag. It looks as if the first maxlength is used and the maxlength that I added is ignored. It's curious that a tabular form element does not have a "maxlength" attribute to set like a non-tabular form "text" element.
Any suggestions on what else to try?
Alex.

How to fetch the value of tabular form item in javascript

Hello all
I want to do some calculations on the value entered by the user in the textfield of a tabular form, how can I fetch the value of tabular form item in the javascript?
I am using normal tabular form, not using apex_item tabular form.
I can pass the current textfield value to the function using "this" as a parameter, but how can I fetch the value of other rows of that same column?
Thanks

Hi Alistair
jQuery is still not working, but I got it done through some other means, this is the code:
function total(pThis){
var l_Row = html_CascadeUpTill(pThis,'TR');
var l_Table = l_Row.parentNode;
var l_Row_next = l_Row;
var n_rows = l_Table.rows;
var lInputs;
var v1;
var sum = 0.0;
var temp;
var i = 0;
var j = 0;
//alert(n_rows.length);
while(j < (n_rows.length - 1))
temp = 0;
if(l_Row_next != null){
lInputs = html_Return_Form_Items(l_Row_next,'TEXT');
v1 = lInputs[0].value;
//alert(v1);
sum = parseFloat(sum) + parseFloat(v1);
l_Row_next = l_Row_next.nextSibling;
temp = 1;
if(temp == 0){
l_Row_next = l_Table.getElementsByTagName('TR')[1];
lInputs = html_Return_Form_Items(l_Row_next,'TEXT');
v1 = lInputs[0].value;
sum = parseFloat(sum) + parseFloat(v1);
l_Row_next = l_Row_next.nextSibling;
j= j+1;
$x('P78_TOTAL').value= parseFloat(sum);
I am calling this function onblur event of the textfield.
Still I am having one problem, I want to perform this calculation on load of the page also, how can I do that? because while calling onblur of the textfield I can pass that textfield to this function but on onLoad how I will pass the textfield to call this function so that I will be able to get the textfield value in the function?
there may be some rows already existing, so I want the total of the existing rows to be displayed in my P78_TOTAL textfield that is why I need to do this calculation on onLoad of the page.
Thanks

How to use SQL function in Tabular Form

Edited by: JuniorNewbi on 03-Nov-2009 08:15

Hi
I want to have a Tabular Form in which the Report Source sql statement is retrieved via an SQL function, so that the resulting report can show a variable number of columns and column names.
The following great web site shows just the kind of thing i'm trying to do (Tabular Form Dynamic):
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:195:518536699796436::NO:::
However, as an Apex newbie, i don't know how to invoke the SQL function from within the page. The "Report Source" appears to only allow a static "select...." style of entry.
I don't have access to the Denes Kubicek's workspace so don't know how he would have invoked his PL/SQL Function.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

How to clear Success Messages on Tabular Form

In my tabular form I created a manual process for Update/Insert I have disabled the standard APPLYMRU process in order to use mine instead. I've done this so that I can set some column values that I don't want the user to enter. This is a Tabular Form type process with Execution Scope set for Created and Modified Rows. The process works fine.
I created 2 hidden page items P20_UPDATE_COUNT and P20_INSERT_COUNT. I use these as counters in the sql to count number of rows updated and inserted. I then use these as substitution variables in the success message. I set the values for P20_UPDATE_COUNT and P20_INSERT_COUNT to zero in the computations: Before Regions and also After Submit computations ( I realize may not need to reset in both). After submit the branch is to the same paqe.
The problem I am having is that the success messages do not get cleared out. If I update one row then click the Submit button row is updated and success message appears 1 row updated, 0 rows inserted - Fine. I then update 2 rows and insert one row and the message appears as: 1 row updated, 0 rows inserted. 2 rows updated 1 row inserted. It seems the messages keep getting appended to the previous message if they are different. This does not occur if I use the standard APPLYMRU process. Is there a way to clear the prior messages? Note; this is happening in my application on the Oracle Apex site so the version is current version.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Therese,
Not sure what is going wrong, but I remember I at one point had to make custom success messages. There is a function that lets you print the message yourself:
apex_application.g_print_success_message
I don't think there is any oracle documentation on it, but here's an old blog post that explains how you can use it:
Using individual error/success messages in APEX - APEX-AT-WORK by Tobias Arnhold</title><meta content='text/htm…
You can use it to overwrite/bypass the standard success messages.

How to use a function in Tabular Form?

I'm trying to build a tabular form maunally with a region of type "pl/sql function body returning sql query". The first column is a regular column in the table and in the second column is calculated column, I would like to pass the first column value to the function in second column and display that value. When I use the following query, it's passing "id" literally, instead of the actual value at the run time. any help is appreciated.
declare
query_str varchar2(1000) := NULL;
begin
query_str := 'SELECT HTMLDB_ITEM.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE(1,id)"id" , HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(2, test_function(id),10,100) "Name" from testtable';
return query_str;
end;

Hi,
the query looks ok. What happens when you run the query in SQL*Plus/Toad/... ?
SELECT HTMLDB_ITEM.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE(1,id) AS id, HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(2, test_function(id),10,100) AS name from testtable;Personally I wouldn't use the quote for the alias name of the column, because that makes them case sensitive. I know that the APEX wizard always uses quotes, also for tables/columns where it is not necessary...

How to get current rownumber of Tabular Form

I have created one tabular form having fields 'courseid', 'coursename', 'courseduration', 'clickhere'.
The last column is a link to next page. I have one textbox named p101_cid.
'clickhere' column display link "For participating click here."
Suppose user clicks on any row's last cell (i.e. 'clickhere')
1. p101_cid should get value of first cell i.e. courseid of current row.????????
2. next page should get displayed.
I am able to achieve second but not first.
I tried to write jscript onclick of last column but could not succeed.
Edited by: TEJU on Apr 24, 2009 3:32 PM

I have used column link option and worked.
I have problem in achieving first part
i.e. 1. p101_cid should get value of first cell i.e. courseid of current row.????????
i repeat my requirement.
if user clicks on link column(i.e. 4th column) of nth Row. textbox p101_cid should get value of 1st column of nth row.

How to validate date columns in tabular forms?

Hi,
I have two date columns in a tabular form
1.Start_date 2.End_date so here i need to validate the end_date as should not be lesser value than start_date column
so any solution for this?

Hi,
use a validation of type "Function returning boolean" and the following code:
IF to_date(:YOUR_END_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD') < to_date(:YOUR_START_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD') THEN RETURN FALSE;
ELSE RETURN TRUE;
END IF;The date format is of course in your choice.
Hope this helps...

How to display dates dynamically in tabular form title

Hi,
I have a requirement of displaying dates of the week as title of each column heading in the tabular form dynamically (or) Is there a way to display the dates for each week as the titles for each column dynamically?Could anyone suggest me on this requirement?
Thanks & Regards,
Balaji.P.K.

Hi Balaji,
if you want to be very generic than create a report based on a "PL/SQL Function returning SQL Query" and set the Report Column Headers to "PL/SQL" and specifiy a function returning the Header Titles.

How to set maximum characters to TextBox?`

i have a textBox and i dont want that to user will fill in more than two
characters
Thanks

That only works on a JTextField. The OP is using a TextField.You're right - I hadn't seen that.
I've already asked the OP to be clear and precise with the question.I'm not sure what you mean - the question is not that unclear, is it? What I understand from it (and I like guessing) is that he wants to restrict the number of characters that can be entered into a text field.
It's been a long time since I last worked with AWT, but looking at the Javadocs, I don't see an easy solution. You could override processEvent and not forward key events if the maximum length has been met, but that would fail when text is being pasted. You'd have to look at the code if there is a single entry point for text inserts.
