Javascript firing on disabled button also

Experts,
I have a button which has a clientListener who fires a javascript. The js disables the button. So far its good, but the issue happens if the user clicks on the disabled button the js fires again.
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Update Profile" id="ctbUpdate"
                                       actionListener="#{viewScope.CustomerProfilePageBean.toggleButton}"
                                       binding="#{viewScope.CustomerProfilePageBean.updateButton}">
                <af:clientListener method="toggleSplitter" type="click"/>
              </af:commandToolbarButton>Isnt this strange ?
thnks
Jdev 11.1.1.5

It is not strange but stupid...
Also happens when using af:showPopupBehaviour with type="click"...
I would like to know where is it useful to work like this???
Try using type="action" on af:clientListener, it works for af:showPopUpBehaviour...

How to create a disabled button without javascript

Hi,
I have to create a disabled button in apex 4, without using javascript due to some security reasons. I have edited the button template to give a disabled look, but still an action eg. submit is associated with it. I dont want any action to be performed on this button.
Please suggest how can i achieve this or any alternative approach.
Regards,
Shweta

Disabled button getting focus

My problem is that a disabled button are getting focus, which is bad when the application are operated without a mouse.
I made this litlte demo to illustrate the problem.
Try pressing button no.1. This will disable button no.1 and button no.2,
but why are button no.2 getting focus afterwards?

Very courius.
I have made a little change in your code.
1) scenario
Simply changing .setEnabled(false) invokation, the class works fine.
so
jButton2.setEnabled(false);
jButton3.setEnabled(false);
jButton1.setEnabled(false);
2) scenario
the class works fine also using your .setEnabled(false) order invokations and putting after those:
FocusManager.getCurrentManager().focusNextComponent();
I do not know exactly why, I suppose that is there something not properly
syncronized in events dispaching.
In my opinion:
a) setEnabled(false) at last calls for setEnabled(false) of JComponent
that fires a propertyChange event
so:
scenario 1)
buttons 2 and 3 are disabled before of button1 that has the focus in
that moment (given by a the mouse click on itself)
When botton1.setEnabled(false) is performed buttons 2 and 3 are
just disabled, so focus is got by button4 (that is enabled)
scenario 2)
button1 that has the focus (given it by the mouse click) becames
disabled before that button2 becames disabled too.
So, probably, when the event of PropertyChanged is fired and processed, button2.setEnabled(false) invokation has not been
just performed and swings looks for it as a focusable component
So, using FocusManager.getCurrentManager().focusNextComponent(),
we force the transer focus on next focusable component.
This is only a my suppose, looking what happens.

How to disable Buttons based on condition.

Hi
Need your help to disable button based on condition.
Please refer the application:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34797:5:110582943383419::NO:::
login credentials:
workspace: vsanthanam
user: vijay
pswd: apex_demo
In the above application, i have 2 buttons in page 5, (Report1 and Report2)
Where i have to disable button based on the following conditon:
i) USER whoever has Admin value 'Y' in my table can access the button.
for this i've written a Button Condition : Type (EXISTS)
select 1 from apex_extra_values where rtrim(lower(empname)) like decode((select Admin from apex_extra_values
where rtrim(lower(empname))=rtrim(lower(V('APP_USER')))),'Y',rtrim(lower(V('APP_USER'))))
note: i have empname same as my APEx user name. with Admin access 'Y'.
By using this code i can able to hide the button for users who has no Admin access.
But my requirement is : i have to show the button even if the user is not Admin, but to grey out (disable the button - no action)
I tried using javascript function:
function disableButton(pThis)
pThis.disabled=true;
But either of this (exists condtion or JAvascript function) works in my case and not both.
Any pointer on this would be highlt appreciated.
Thanks
Vijay

Couple of things:
1. I would never use v('APP_ITEM') but :APP_ITEM - it is faster and there is no need to use this function within an application
2. The way you are doing this check is not the best approach. You should create an authorization schema and run this once per session. Whatever this authorization is returning as a result you can check using the following Function returning boolean:
IF apex_util.public_check_authorization ('MY_AUTH') THEN RETURN TRUE; ELSE RETURN FALSE; END IF;
See this example on authorization issues:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:148
3. As far as disabling a button is concerned I think I explained the options. I also have an example on that here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:143
whereby it is not disabling but hiding a button.

Conditionally Disable Button

I read this thread
Howto disable a button within APEX?
to conditionally disable a button in a form. And it worked as per the suggestion of user FFS.
But I want to do something similar to a button showing in a report region. There are different conditions which will show the button in the disabled mode.
When I tried to repeat the same steps as per the above thread(user FFS comments), I couldn't create a hidden item that will come after the button I want to disable.
I also wrote this in the page's html header section:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if ($x('P13_EMP').value >'0')
$x_DisableItem('SAVE');
</script>Did not disable the button either.
Please help.
Using apex3.2, it is an HTML button.
Thanks,
RN

I normally just jQuery to disable buttons. See the first response: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/577548/how-can-i-disable-a-button-in-a-jquery-dialog-from-a-function
I think $x_DisableItem probably isn't working for you because its not an Item. You can create buttons as region buttons or as items (if I recall correctly).
If you don't have jquery/want to load it it should be able to still do it.
(untested code, but something to the effect):
i.e.
var els = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (i=0;i<els.length;i++){
if (els.type == 'button'){
if (els[i].value == 'LABEL'){
els[i].setAttribute('disabled', true);
} Someone else might have a more elegant solution ;-)

Passing Javascript Enabled or Disabled value in a custom tag

Hi,
In my JSP I am using a custom tag.
This custom tag is having one attribute called status(whose value will be jsenabled means true or jsdisabled means false) depending on the browser's javascript enabled or disabled
How can i find the value of javascript enabled or javascript disabled and set the value of the attribute status in my jsp.
This is the custom tag
<t:tab summary="tabs" url="/services/eservicepac/registrationprocess/process.wss" tabNames='<%=tabList%>' currentTab="<%=currentTab%>" zone="WWW_ZONE" fetchText="false" status=" "
</t:tab>
The value of this attribute status=" " should be the value of jsenabled or disabled.
Since the user can visit any page at any time, the jsenabled value is not maintained in session or request, so i can't take from session or request also.
As this is urgent,
--I am expecting the reply

Hi Merlin,
In addition to what was written above, you must make sure that you tell your web application to run as a JSP 2.0 web application.
You do this by defining your web.xml a little differently. Like this at the top:
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee web-app_2_4.xsd">
That should be what you need to get it working correctly.

Read-only textbox and/or disable buttons in Infopath 2013

In a InfoPath 2013 custom list form, my requirement is to make textboxes read-only, disable buttons, and/or create new buttons so users can not update fields in a custom list once the user has updated data in the list. Basically after the user hits the 'save'
button so that the data is saved.
The requirement is not to set up custom permissions since my SharePoint administrator said I should find another option. This administrator said he does not see a reason for only an 'add' permission.
Thus can you tell me how to meet my requirements? Can you show me screen prints, pictures, or urls on how to solve the problem?

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to prevent users from editing the existing items.
There are two workarounds I can provide as below:
As the first workaround, you can remove Ribbon from SharePoint InfoPath List Form via modifying the OOTB settings of InfoPath Web Part.
Here is a link about more details, you can use it as a reference:
http://the-north.com/sharepoint/post/Remove-Ribbon-from-SharePoint-InfoPath-List-Form
As the second workaround, you can apply the CSS code below to your page, it will hide the “Edit Item” button in the Ribbon:
<style type="text/css">
#Ribbon\.ListItem\.Manage\.EditProperties-Large{display: none !important;}
</style>

Accidently installed NoScript, can't get rid of it and JavaScript has been disabled even though it says it's enabled - help!

I accidently installed NoScript when trying to remove adverts/pop-ups. Now it's causing problems on various sites I regularly use and I can't get rid of it. It doesn't show up on Tools/Add- ons so I can disable and JavaScript has been disabled, even though it shows as 'Enabled'.
Help would be appreciated.

The usual method for uninstalling extensions and themes is by using the Add-ons manager for your Mozilla application, as follows.
# Click "Tools -> Add-ons
# Click on the Extensions or Themes button on the top.
# Click on the extension or theme you want to uninstall.
# Click Uninstall.
# Restart your Mozilla application.

Disabled button fires an event ?! :-O

Hi, friends!
I've never thought about the next issue: why desabled button can fire an et_Click event?
I havn't no idea to check that!
I thought before that enabled=false is the method to prevent et_Click event for that item, but...
<b>Is it a bug or feature?</b>
I'm talking now about v6.5, what can you say about that situation on v6.7?

It is not a bug, the SDK is simply informing you that the user clicked on something. You can click on other disabled items such as edittexts and they will also generate the click events for you.
The important difference with a disabled button is that the et_ITEM_PRESSED event won't be triggered. The et_ITEM_PRESSED event is the correct one to use to detect the user pressing a button.

Disabled button to look like selected button

I have a set of toggle buttons. If I wanted to disable a button the moment it was clicked, but not have the user know that this was done, how could I set the disabled button to look like a clicked button?
I tried using
ImageIcon disabledIcon = (ImageIcon) button.getIcon();
button.setDisabledIcon(disabledIcon);
button.setDisabledSelectedIcon(disabledIcon);But this made the button look like an unclicked button. The clicked button has the exact same icon in the middle, but the rest of the button is darker.
Any help appreciated!

may be you want like this,
<a id="btnLink" class="brnLink" href="javascript:Form.submit('myAction')"/>
<img id="next" src="/images/next.gif" />
</a>

How do I get the Manged bean and Taskflow logic for Disable button in User details Modify page

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to add to custom buttons like "Terminate" and "Reinstate" in the users detail page. Terminate is closely modeled with "Disable" button of user details page. Before I develop the custom beans and register the task flow for the custom button, I just want to understand the logic written in the managed bean for "Disable" button and understand what is there in its associated task flow. Am trying to get these details from OIM. Not sure where exactly I can get the code for this and customize as per my requirement.
Please suggest the exact location?

Thanks for the information - I still was hoping that the article Mario mentioned above was accessible (perhaps just moved)? Somewhere on the BC system? Just so I can add it to my BC help folder - as well as even share it with clients who want to try things on their own (best to give them some help in that direction so they don't fumble through things).
I have the checkout form populating information, if they have purchased in the past it will populate their address - but I am also trying to get their "account page" to do the same (basically show them what their current information in the system is - then allow them to update whatever might be wrong or need changes). We have a login page, for people to sign up without having "bought" something - so the CRM won't have their billing/shipping info in the system yet. Trying to capture that without a purchasing being made.

How to enable or disable buttons on an interactive ALV report

I have two buttons on Interactive ALV report. Before displaying the ALV report, I want to enable or disable buttons on ALV depending on some conditions.I dont want to make the buttons visible or invisible. This is not an OO ALV report.
Please suggest !!!

Then you have to use the event set_pf_status or parameter I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET for this pass the form name.
You have to Implement the form Routine.
FORM PF_STATUS using status type SLIS_T_EXTAB.
SET PF-STATUS 'STS' excluding status.
ENDFORM.
First create the pf-staus using SE41 or double click on the status name and create . By default you make them Disable mode.

Your backlight is out, it's a hardware problem and you'd be best served to take it in for an estimate. Or you could purchase an external display and use it as a desktop computer. You'll have to decide if repairing a 6 year old computer is worth it.
