thanks..I've used a netui:anchor tag with a nested netui:parameter tag thatpassed
the
"hidden" field to an action in the pageflow. In the pageflow, use the
getRequest
method as below...
IN JSP:
<netui:anchor action="toNextInCatalog"><%=category.getName()%>
<netui:parameter name="categoryName" value="<%=category.getName()%>"></netui:parameter>
</netui:anchor>
IN PAGEFLOW:
String catName = this.getRequest().getParameter("categoryName");
hope this helps,
D
There is a <netui:hidden> tag which is intended to have an equivalent to the HTML
hidden fields. However I couldn't achioeve to set a defaultValue ([dataInput="dataInput"].

Upload file input type="hidden" to server

I have a file that is on a user machine. The file is always in the same location. I want to have the user click on an upload button without selecting a file and have it sent to the server for processing. I have tried to use <input type="hidden" name="fileupload" value="c:\filepath">. When I run it this way I get no file found. Please help!

I am sorry, I will move it. Didn't notice it was in Acrobat, I was wanting Coldfusion.
Edit: Since I am unaware of how to move it I'm just going to mark it as answered.

Input type="hidden" value="....a chain of rubbish letter......"!!

Why are you always so negative in your questions/postings? In every post you're just complaining and throwing around with too much exclamation marks. It's getting annoying. You risk to become placed in the ignore list.
Anyway, you have configured JSF to use client side state saving. This isn't a default setting.

Using a form with two input type="submit" ... buttons...

Hello All!
I'm using a form to add and remove parameters for a service definition.
<form action="serviceinput.jsp" method="post">
               <table>
                    <tr>
                         <td><b>Level</b></td>
                         <td><b>Fieldname</b></td>
                         <td><b>Stucturename</b></td>
                         <td><b>Type</b></td>
                         <td><b>Format</b></td>
                         <td><b>Optional</b></td>
                         <td><b>Semantics</b></td>
                    </tr>
     <%
                    for (Iterator iterParameters = parameters.iterator(); iterParameters.hasNext();)
          Parameter parameter = (Parameter) iterParameters.next();
     %>
                    <tr>
          <td><%= parameter.getLevel() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getFieldname() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getStructurename() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getType() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getFormat() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getOptional() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getSemantics() %></td>
                    </tr>
     <%
     %>
               </table>
               <input type="submit" name="<%= parameters.addParameter() %>" value="add"/>
               <input type="submit" name="<%= parameters.removeParameter() %>" value="remove"/>
          </form>
The special thing about is, that I'm using two <input type="submit"...> buttons.
The idea is, that I'd like to add one more row with attributes by clicking the "add" button and removing one row by clicking the "remove" button.
If I use just one of them, it works fine. If I use both of them, nothing happens at all.
Isn't it allowed to use two <input type="submit"...> fields?
Is there an alternative? How can I implement my form the correct way?
Thanks a lot in advance to all!

Tomi

Hi,
Hai Tomi ,
As swati already Explained U can try it with buttons,
But u have to make a Hidden field and set the value of the hidden field
with the Javascript code after pressing the button , Call a client side function which has an argument as given below
Validate the Flag field in the JSP file
<script language=javascript>

Building hashtable for INPUT types dynamically

In my jsp I want to define a method which can build and return a hashtable of all the input types defined inside a form. For example if my form looks like :
<form name="detail_form" method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="asset_name" size="15" value="ABC">
<input type="text" name="asset_desc" size="45" value="Laptop">
<input type="hidden" name="employee_id_key" value="58975">
<input type="hidden" name="asset_id_key" value="15">
</form>
then my method will be like :
<%!
public Map getCurrentData()
Map paras=new HashMap();
paras.put ("asset_name", "ABC");
paras.put ("asset_desc", "Laptop");
paras.put ("employee_id_key", "58975");
paras.put ("asset_id_key", "15");
return paras;
%>
Now the problem is :
since the code inside the form can be dynamic (like there can be different number of INPUT types with different names) so I want my method getCurrentData() to be dynamic. That probably means some sort of loop to go through all the INPUT types in the form and storing it in hashtable. But I dont know how to do it in java. Can anybody help me please. Thanks

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "input types" but you could use the request.getParameterMap() method after the form is submitted. So for example you would have your form like <form ... action="nextpage.jsp"> and on nextpage.jsp you could call request.getParameterMap() to create a map of all the paramaters and their values. Here is what I mean...
<form name="detail_form" method="post" action="nextpage.jsp">
<input type="text" name="asset_name" size="15" value="ABC">
<input type="text" name="asset_desc" size="45" value="Laptop">
<input type="hidden" name="employee_id_key" value="58975">
<input type="hidden" name="asset_id_key" value="15">
</form>
then on nexpage.jsp you could say
<% Map myMap = request.getParamaterMap(); %>
Good Luck

Struts 1.1 Iterate through input types of image

Hi everyone,
I'm using struts 1.1, and specifically the logic:iterate tag. Basically I'm looping through a List of Users. I print out username, userAccessLevel, two image input types (edit or remove). My actionForm associated with the JSP contains the List of Users.
A User object has an AccessButtons field (among other things),
an AccessButtons object contains two Buttons objects named edit and remove,
a Button object has 3 String fields, x, y, and name, and a "pressed()" function
Essentially I want the Action class to be able to pick up what button was pressed on the ActionForm. Specifically both the user and edit/remove action associated with the button. The code I have so far in the JSP is:
<logic:iterate id="users" name="accessForm" property="users" indexId="index">
<bean:define id="ssn" name="users" property="ssn"/>
<bean:define id="accessButtons" name="users" property="accessButtons"/>
<bean:write name="users" property="fullname"/>
<bean:write name="users" property="accessLevel"/>
<html:image property="accessButtons.edit" src="images/edit.gif" border="0" alt="edit" indexed="true"/>
<html:image property="accessButtons.remove" src="images/remove.gif" border="0" alt="remove" indexed="true"/>
</logic:iterate>
This displays the desired output, but it doesn't help be differentiate the user for which the button was pressed. I left out some of the HTML formatting stuff to keep the code clean.
Anyone have any ideas? I hope I explained what I wanted clearly and concisely...

yes, this is a problem, isn't it...
I would suggess make each user iterration include a separate form tag set and have a hidden field with the user id. but I think this will still have a problem of knowing which of the 2 buttons were pressed. There is a problem here, cuz Netscape 7 sends the button name of the button and button.x and button.y, whereas IE 6 only sends the button.x and button.y, and not the button as is... which presents a problem to figuring out what was clicked. (Plain submit type buttons seem to be fine for submitting). At least, I guess just check for the existance of the button_name.x to see which was pressed, but you still need the user ID in the forms.

INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" ??????????

<INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" SRC="SOMEIMAGE.GIF" NAME="SALES" VALUE = "2000">
How hard I try this,the above statement never returns a value ..infact it returns SALES.x and
SALES.y coordinate value but never returns 2000 (which is what i am interested in)....
Please help me.

<INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" SRC="SOMEIMAGE.GIF" NAME="SALES"

Hi,
The <input> tag of type image will not return the value. It will return the x & y coordinates of the image. the other workaround for this is, have a hidden field, and in the onClick() event of the image, populate the hidden field with the value using javaScript.
hope this helps u....

How do you stop an MBP headphone-in from constantly re-detecting input type?

I'm a professional music producer - I work for majors.
I only use "regular" ("studio quality") headphones in my MBP, for reference on-the-move.
I have had the same issue on two consecutive MBP's now.
Every time there is the slightest movement or slight strain on the jack - the MBP silences the input (and, I assume tries to detect what type of input there is at the socket). This can happen when adjusting the MBP in ones lap, table... it can happen at every movement of machine or cable.
The jack doesn't have to visibly move. I have to take out the jack wait a second and re-insert. This doesn't even work every time.
So: How does one manually set and lock the input type?

Vogon wrote:
Indeed it would, thanks.
I have a number of USB related devices but I don't want to carry extra equipment around or want to use headphones other than those I am used to in the studio... Ones you can wear for extended periods too. Unless you know of studio quality USB headphones?
Especially when my >$2500 MBP claims to have a usable headphone socket. ;-)
So, there is no user option to turn off a feature which interupts work like this?
I don't think that it is a 'feature' my bet is on 'failure' instead.
I think that the connection between the 3 pole connector on your studio quality headphones (a model would be nice to know) and the 4 pole socket on the Mac is not good. Can you reproduce this with a standard pair of Apple earbuds (a test only) or is it limited to whatever your headphones are?
I will also suggest a USB interface, they are very small (put it in your pocket, buy 2) the Logitech version is in the picture below.
If you do choose the 3.5mm to USB option this one (Turtle Beach Amigo II) is the best I have used.
Requiring no drivers (on a Mac) it sounds at least as good as the internal audio does.

Is there an easy way to run an Ajax function from input type=file to test the file name in DB?

I've had the <input type="file"> ... <cffile ...> thing going for a few years now.
There is a database where the uploaded file names are stored once the files are uploaded to the server. It sees things in terms of problems and stores uploaded file name accordingly with the ProbID prepended onto the file name; e.g., MyPicture.jpg would end up in the designated directory and databawe as P416_MyPicture.jpg. This allows user to store pictures with the same name in different problems without a conflict. There has been an issue with certain characters (e.g., spaces, +, #, etc.) causing problems when they are in file names so we have come up with a way using the <cffile ... rename> to replace these chars with _. This means that MyPic+.jpg would end up being P416_MyPic_.jpg.
     This is where the problem appears. If someone were to upload MyPic+.jpg after someone else uploaded MyPic_.jpg in the same problem, then the + file would overwrite the _ file before the system knew they had a problem. And there is now way to restore the original file without going to the system backup and doing so – which is a whole other story … especially, if the person doesn’t tell anyone.
     The logical solution would be to be able to test the new final file name (the name after making the substitutions mentioned above) against the existing files in the database before you went from the page where the <input type=file> control to the associated _action.cfm page where the <cffile> object is located. Given that this seems to be the province of Ajax, this would seem like a natural use of the really interesting technology. I have can determine the file name from the onChange action on the <input type=File> so that this would be the place for Ajax to come to the rescue by looking up the final file name and then letting the user know whether the resultant name is a unique within the database or not. If so, I'll just enable the Add button which sets right next to the <input > control and let them upload it. If not, I'll put up an error message telling them that this file already exists in the system.
     This would be the perfect solution. It would let me do some Ajax stuff like I've wanted to do for the past year, but never have had the time to do because this is the project that won't go away. This is, in fact, the last thing of any consequence that remains to do on this 2-1/2 year nightmare – be careful what you wish for. If I can get this done this week, then maybe I can finally take a weekend off … maybe it will finally come to an end.
     Which finally leads to my question: I'm looking for some tips on how to get this thing going since I can barely spell Ajax. I've got a book and looked at some stuff online about CF and Ajax, but a good example or two or three would be worth a day's worth of poking around on the web and in my books.
     Thanks in advance for any suggestions, ideas, help, whatever.
Len

Adam,
     Thank you for your suggestion, but, after spending the night working with Ben Forta's CF8, vol 2, Chap 34, working with <cfajaxproxy>, I was able to do exactly what I wanted and it appears, after some testing, to work exactly as I had envisoned it should.
     I am now calling a JavaScript function (testFileName) from the onChage event on the <input type="file"> or Browse button, which calls my proxy.cfc that contains the server side of the equation. This funciton testFileName (I've run out of cleaver function/file names). The query contained therein hits the database to see if the passed in parameters can pull up an existing file. If they do, the particulars (file name, data attahced, etc.) are returned to the JavaScipt procedure that puts up the error notice. The user can then chose to either overwrite the file or quit. Quiting leaves the your on the Attachment PopUp where he/she started with nothing being uploaded.
     Thanks again for your suggestion. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

can u please help me.

Here is sample code which we have used in one of our projects with org.apache.commons.fileupload.*.
You can find String fullName = (String) formValues.get("FULLNAMES"); at the end that gives name of file.

<%@ page import="java.util.List"%>

Uploading a file using input type=file

Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm in the right place or not. If not can you please let me know where to find and answer for my question.
I'm trying to upload a file in oracle self-service (online page) and I found that the input type=file will let me select the file so I place the input type inside my htp.formopen command.
I used the following when opening the formopen
htp.formOpen(my_link, 'post',null, 'multipart/form-data');
then I created the <input type="file"> tag
But when I send the link to my second page to see if the input type works I get the page not found error.
I'm thinking that maybe is because my 2nd page doesnt have a parameter that will hold the file but right now I'm not sure how to declare the file variables.
Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks

What does your form do when you submit it? Handling file uploads is a bit of a convoluted process. I'd recommend starting here for some guidance:

There's no reason to install a smaller hard drive. In some cases, it may decrease performance.
Your MacBook Pro comes with a 5400 rpm hard drive, so what you can do is to install a smaller, 7200 rpm hard drive, so you will get a better performance. Any 2'5" SATA hard drive will work, but you can have a look at OWC for hard drives > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
HGST and Seagate hard drives have a good reputation, so you can purchase one of them

Input type="image" only works in Safari, but not IE or Firefox?

Having accidentally discovered a form on a site I am working on was only working in Safari, I've just spent about five hours retracing my steps, before eventually discovering that the code that was making the form fail was my submit code.
The page I was looking at had quite a bit of validation, CAPTCHA code and some jQuery to style some drop downs, so I figured something there was the issue.
But it turned out just to be the submit button.
I've just tried it on my contact page, and its failing in Firefox (Mac) too (and so I assume IE as well.)
Should this work, or is using input type="image" on a form submit button a big no no?
This code works:
<input type="submit" name="KT_Insert1" id="KT_Insert1" value="Post your query" />
But this code does not work (except, it seems, in Safari):
<input name="KT_Insert1" type="image" id="KT_Insert1" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('KT_Insert1','','../images/buttons/post_enquiry2.jpg',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" value="Post your query" src="../images/buttons/post_enquiry1.jpg" border="0" />
Or am I missing something here?

Thanks for that - might have realised this a lot earlier if it didn't work in Safari!
I assume I just need some CSS like:
.formbutton
background-image: image1.jpg;
.formbutton :hover
background-image: image2.jpg;
And:
<input type="submit" name="KT_Insert1" id="Send" value="Send message" class="formbutton" />

Input type hidden
