Javascript alert wiping page clean - HELP

Hi - I am using the javascript alert function in order to tell a user that information entered on a form is incorrect - however, the alert makes the page go away when all I want is to return to that page so the user can correct just that piece of information and resubmit it
Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm scratching my head over this!!
Thanks!
Beth

Hi Savitha,
Yes, you are right, there is difference between alert and confirm. I will pose a small example, I have a page where the user / client must(!!!) enter his name, otherwise I don't allow him to go further (to my next page). Here in Javascript I will check for the name field,
if(confirm(document.myform.field_name.value)) {
//submit the form
}. Here user didn't enter anything and clicks on 'OK' in confirm dialog, then I am forced to take him to the next page. So, I don't want to provide that chance to the user and decide it programatically, but prompt the user to enter the name with an alert dialog.
Hope I am clear.
PS:-
I have shown a sample statement in the form of document.myform.field_name.length==0;
'You can do all your validations there', is what my point here.

How to verify JavaScript alert message display on page with C#?

Hi All,
I have a question about verify the JavaScript alert message on page. For example, I input the script in browser address like: "javascript:onmouseover=alert('popup windows')" . How to verify there's a alert message displayed on page with C#?
Thanks

Are you trying to use some automation or ? What the previous solution is they have put the text in the dom for you to pull out with C# or other languages.
if you are trying to automate this through a browser maybe look into WebDriver
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 2);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert(); var alertText = alert.Text;
alert.accept();

OBIEE 11g: Dashboard not invoking simple javascript alert

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to invoke one simple ALERT command with javascript in obiee 11g dashboard. The purpose is when it loads, it should print one ALERT message and also when we change something in the prompt and clicking Apply button.
Here is code written in a text item (Checked html markup option) after prompts;
<script language="Javascript">
alert ("Hello");
</script>
The Javascript alert message is showing when the dashboard page loads, but its not coming when we click the Apply button after changing the prompts.
Can anyone give helpful hint, how to check it and why its not showing up when we press Apply button?
Any hint or some useful links will b highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You just used code and I would say the default event is onload of the page, thats the reason you are able to see alert.
Since you didnt ask or written code onClick event to show alert, its not showing.
You need to tell to browser when to prompt alert message instead of onload.
Hope you are more confuse about 'how to do'
if yes, mark :)
give some more info about your actual req. that helps any other gurus to help.

How do i save the source code of a javascript alert in safari?

I am trying to save the source code of the javascript alert in safari but the menu items blank out.
Is this even possible?
dave

Eventhought it is a usefull function which i did not know about it is not helping me. This is what hapens.
I request an url and get a javascript alert back from the server. The javascript alert triggers that is i get a popup where I can only press ok. If i do not press ok i can not do anything else. the safari menu's are greyed out. if i do press ok i get redirected and i can not read the javascript page with your suggestion.
what i want is read the source for that javascript alert so i know what it says (my filemaker database that is) but because that option is greyed out i am stuck.
here is the link i use to get the javascript popup:
https://www.login.alex.nl/klanten/portfolio/portefeuille-xls.asp?print=true
the javascript says i am not loged in.
if i get this javascript alert in firefox i can ask for the sourcecode, read it and do stuff that is log in. I just do not understand how i can change safari so it does the same thing as firefox.
thanks again

On my ADF Form (af:form), I have set my attribute : required = true on the adf faces page. (on the entity object, mandatory = true)
But when I press Submit, I do not get any Javascript alert boxes fired, instead, I just see server side validation error.
Why the Javascript alert boxes does not get fired ?
Where is the setting ?
Thank you for your help,

Hi Frank,

I even try to change it to 'true', still no Java script alert, just the server side error.
What is the possibility ?
Thank you,

Invoke Javascript alert withing a PLSQL Function Block

Hello,
I am having trouble trying to achieve the following functionality. I have a page with an update button. On submit of this update button I have created a PL/SQL Function Body which returns TRUE for CASE 1, and FALSE for CASE 2. If CASE1 is achived then the process will update the data in the underlying table and will do nothing for CASE2. What I simply want to do is for CASE2, I also want to throw up an Alert informing the user that he is in CASE2. My existing PL/SQL function looks something like:
BEGIN
IF CASE 1 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
END;
I want something like:
IF CASE 1 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
javascript:alert('Update did not work!');
END;
Can anybody help me?
Thanks
Mitesh

If you have submitted the page it is too late for javascript to run, javascript runs in the client, and the pl/sql runs on the server. If you want that to popup at that point you will need to have it popup on onLoad of the resulting page. Or do all of the validation in javascript then have javascript submit the page.

JavaScript Alert functionality in PL/SQL

I'm in need of implementing the JavaScript "Alert" functionality (display message and wait for user to acknowledge) in the "before displaying the page" PL/SQL block of portal reports and forms. While I'm at it - How about the JavaScript "history.back" function as well?
Is this possible? Can you point me in the right direction.

Hi,
Where Portal says "before displaying the page" what it means is that it will run this code before it starts to htp.p() out the HTML of the page.
In WebDB this was actually what happened, in Portal there are some elements of HTML output BEFORE this block of code is run.
Anyway I don't think that you can have an alert that displays before the page is loaded. The page will still show behind the alert.
To get around this you would need a blank page to show your alert that forwards you on to the required page.
The history function can be called by the onclick event of a button or you can access Javascript through an anchor tag:-
link text

Javascript Alert on download setup

I just purchased Adobe Elements 6.0 for my IMac and have previously used a trial version. I have successfully downloaded the program, but when I run the setup file I get this error "Javascript Alert: Critical errors were found in setup. Incompatible payloads already installed. See setup log file for details." I am assuming this error is because I have had a previous trial version on my computer.... I have tried deleting/uninstalling the older programs, but I don't know if I have found all of the old files, or if this is even the problem...also, my serial number is not working...I think this is also related to the old trial version... can anyone help with this???

Hi,
There is a known issue with installing retail version of PSE 6 on trial version. Removing files manually doesnt actually remove all the files, there are still some files which we do not directly relate but still need to be removed.
You can follow the below link to get rid of the issue:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403796.html
Let me know if this helps.

Javascript alert script needed when calculation does not equal 100

I have created a fillable form and have a total box which I've set to calulate the sum of Field1, Field2, Field3 and Field4
which works well.
I would like to add a javascript alert if the total amount does not add to exactly 100 to stop the user submitting the form or moving to next question.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Hi try67,
I have implemented successfully the following:
event.value = ''; // clear field
// get the values of field 1 and 2 as string
var sField1 = this.getField("field 1").value.toString();
var sField2 = this.getField("field 2").value.toString();
// adjust for a field being 100 and the other is null
if (sField1 == 100 & sField2 == '') sField2 = "0";
if (sField2 == 100 & sField1 == '') sField1 = "0";
// do only if field 1 and 2 are not null
if(sField1 != '' & sField2 != '') {
event.value = Number(sField1) + Number(sField2);
if (event.value != 100) app.alert("Fields 1 and 2 must sum to 100!", 1, 0);
} // end not empty
Just wondered if you can let me know what I need to add to stop the form being submitted(email submit button) if the amount is not 100?
So the same alert appears ("Fields 1 and 2 must sum to 100!")
Currently if the fields exceed or are below 100, then the alert message ("Fields 1 and 2 must sum to 100!")
appears once and you can still tab to next field, or click on next field or submit the pdf.
I was hoping to add validation on submitto be similar to required fields where you are alerted if not filled in and cannot submit until you imputted the correct calculation sum up to 100?

Javascript:alert(1);

javascript:alert(1);

The first thing you have to do is to remove the ColdFusion conditional logic. ColdFusion runs on the server. JS runs on the client.
The next thing is to call the function from an event that happens on the web page. form onsubmit seems like a good choice.

Javascript alert in Web Planning - timing when it pops up?

Hi all,
Javascript alerts such as
alert('Layout not available, check your header combinations?')
are easy to set up using the text component (html=true) in the web interface builder.
My problem is that when using 'Tabs' (tab component), if you navigate between the tabs and your alert condition is activated, then the alert appears BEFORE the rest of the screen is rendered.
Normally, the use of the 'onload' html statement in the <body> tag allows one to ensure some event only happens AFTER the entire page is downloaded/rendered into the web, but, because of the nature of our web BSP's used for planning web interfaces, it is really difficult to influence this html attribute.....!!
In simple words, on navigation from one tab to another, does anyone out there know how to make my popups only popup AFTER all images have been rendered into the web page.....rather than BEFORE......??
My guess is not one of you even know what I am talking about, eh?
Many regards,
Rael

Rael, there was a lot of requirements through my personal experience, which cannot be accomplished fully in WIB. And very often these requirements were very critical to client.
So just all web-planning applications, that I did, were extended through se80.
And this is quite normal approach, because even SAP itself recommends development of own planning interfaces in case of complex requirements to user interface.
>because the changes can be lost
The necessary additions: buttons, layouts and so on can be made manually in se80 at any time later.

Javascript alert stops button firing in IE

This isn't really an Apex issue, it seems to be the way IE works - but I wonder if anyone has a work-around?
1) I have an item with an onchange event that displays an alert - e.g. onchange="alert('Hello');"
2) I have a button SUBMIT that submits the page in the usual way.
If I enter some data in the item, then move the mouse over to the SUBMIT button and press it, the onchange event fires and displays the alert. However, the SUBMIT is not performed, so I have to press the button a second time. Annoying, really. In Firefox it works fine.

Tony,
I'm curious if this would work: onChange="javascript: return showAlert();"Or maybe even more simply back to your orginal onchange: onChange="javascript: Alert('Hello'); return true;"--Jeff
