Javascript not working in APEX

Hi
I am using the following javascript in HTML Header under Page Attribute
<script type="text/javascript">
function test()
window.alert('This is a Home Page');
</script>
But it's not showing any result.
Can anyone help me on this?

Hi,
You do not mention which version of apex you are working with.
But when you edit the page there are 3 sections for javascript.
You could use the Function and Global Variable Declaration and Execute when Page Loads.
Put the function in the declaration part (no <script> tags necessary)
And test(); in then Page Loads part.

Oracle dbms.set_role does not work in APEX application

Hi, in our j2ee applications, we use secure application role. Basically, the data source use the app user schema to connect to the database. the app user only has create session privileges. the database logon trigger will copy a set of attribute to the local secure context. (ip address, session user, client id, application name). The applications explicitly invoke the stored procedure sec_mgr.set_role before any DMLs are executed.
the sec_mgr.set_role will check the local context attribute , authorize the ip, application name, and set an appreciated role to this session based on session user.
we want to apply the same framework to the APEX application. First, we change the paring schema to the app schema which only has create session privilege. then we put the plsql code in which sec_mgr.set_role is called in the application builder --> shared components ---> edit security attribute ---> Virtual Private Database (VPD).
however, we got the error ORA-06565: cannot execute SET ROLE from within stored procedure
the sec_mgr.set_role is defined as invoker's right(AUTHID CURRENT_USER)
do i missing something in APEX to get it work?
Thanks

Please explain it does not work in APEX? Is the application updating tables that have a trigger? APEX does NOT override trigger actions. Is it possible the values your trigger is looking for are NOT available in your APEX application? Can you post the trigger code here for review?
Thank you,

Help! Javascript not working when object moved from one page to another!

Hello all:
I am new to Adobe Livecycle Designer (version 8.0). I have created a 3 page interactive pdf form with numerous objects (text fields, radio buttons, drop-down boxes, etc.), that our business wants to begin using soon.
I am having difficulty with some of my Javascript not working with a few of my objects on page 2 of the form. Specifically, there is a drop-down box for "Country" on page 2 of my form. When the user selects, for example, "United States" from the list, I have Javascript that is supposed to change the "Currency" drop-down box rawValue to "US Dollars" accordingly (upon the change event).
I think my Javascript syntax is proper, but I am not certain. Here is my simple Javascript associated with the "Country" drop-down box (Note: rawValue 80 = "United States" and rawValue 105 = "US Dollars"):
form1.Page1.cmbContactInfoCountry::change: - (JavaScript, client) -
if (this.rawValue == 80) {
     cmbCurrency.rawValue = 105;
This seems pretty straight forward and it WORKS when my "Country" drop-down box is moved to page 1 of the form, but it WILL NOT WORK when I move the "Country" drop-down box back to page 2 of the form (which is where it belongs).
Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? I have spent probably 6-8 hours racking my brain trying to figure out why it works when on one page, but it does not work when move to a different page. I am guessing that I may have corrupted something OR that I am not fully addressing the proper name of the object?
Please help!
Frustrated and helpless near Chicago!

Hi Jono:
Thank you for your quick reply.I was able to obtain the full name of the cmbCurrency object using the method you taught me. That is brilliant! Great short-cut tool.
Unfortunately, I am still having issues with getting Javasript for the cmbCountry object to work with the cmbCurrency object. I haved pasted my new Javascript below.
JavaScript for cmbCountry object:
//UNITED STATES
if (this.rawValue == 1) {
          xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform[1].cmbCurrency").rawValue = 1;
else
//CANADA
if (this.rawValue == 2) {
          xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform[1].cmbCurrency").rawValue = 2;
I have checked the "Specify Item Values" checkbox of the cmbCurrency drop-down object and Value 1 = "US Dollars" and Value 2 = "Canadian Dollars".
When I select "Canada" from the cmbCountry drop-down object, the rawValue of the cmbCurrency drop-down object is changed to "US Dollars" (when it is clearly defined as "Canadian Dollars"). When I select "United States" from the cmbCountry drop-down object, the rawValue of the cmbCurrency drop-down object stays blank for uknown reasons. Very strange.
Since I am not able to further explain in detail on what I am experiencing, I have posted a link to my file below (I just signed up for an account at ShareFile). I would forever be indebted to you if you can help me figure this out!

Authentication function not working in APEX but works in pl/sql

Greetings, Jim here.
I have written a very simple authentication funtion which uses the dbms_ldap package to authenticate using the userid and password from the login page.
I've tested this function thru pl/sql and it returns true and false accordingly.
I've created a custom authentication schema and in the authentication function I have return myfunction;
The problem is, when called thru APEX, it appears to always return true and lets the login proceed, even if the password is correct. I know its using the function due to the fact that if I enter a bogus function as the authentication function, APEX spits up a message saying so.
So, I know the function works, but I don't know why it does not work with APEX. Posting function below.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ODBS.CUSTAPEXLOGIN (p_username IN VARCHAR2,p_password IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN AS
retval PLS_INTEGER;
emp_session DBMS_LDAP.session;
ldap_host VARCHAR2(256);
ldap_port VARCHAR2(256);
ldap_user VARCHAR2(256);
ldap_passwd VARCHAR2(256);
ldap_base VARCHAR2(256);
BEGIN
ldap_host := 'oraldap';
ldap_port := '389';
ldap_user := p_username;
ldap_passwd := p_password;
ldap_base := 'cn=users,dc=company,dc=com';
emp_session := DBMS_LDAP.init(ldap_host,ldap_port);
retval := DBMS_LDAP.simple_bind_s(emp_session,('cn=' || ldap_user || ',' || ldap_base),ldap_passwd);
if retval = 0 then
return true;
else
return false;
end if;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
begin
if sqlcode = -31202 then
return false;
end if;
end;
END;
/

Hi Jim,
Can you clarify this -
The problem is, when called thru APEX, it appears to always return true and lets the login >proceed, even if the password is correctThat implies you're saying your authentication function ALWAYS returns true? Is that correct? Also 'even if the password is correct' doesn't read correctly to me, did you mean 'even if the password is incorrect'?
You then say -
now the function works, but I don't know why it does not work with APEX.So by 'does not work' you mean in APEX it is always returning true therefore allowing you to login regardless of the username/password you use? Is that correct?

Switch Theme is not working in apex 4.2.Plz help me out.........

Hi.......
Switching from one theme to another theme is not working in apex 4.2..............
Thanx in advance

Hi!
Same problem.
Upgraded from 4.1 -> 4.2.
Change theme from slightly modified Green theme (in mine case 101 is number and original was 11, One level Tabs) to Theme 25 Blue Responsive.
Login page for instance doesn have "Login Region" for instance (not in LOV). And all pages are softly said strange.
All have DISPLAY problem described on "http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GzseTk6Lpes/UHvJkg9GulI/AAAAAAAAHRQ/Wt406GGZADQ/s640/Screen+Shot+2012-10-15+at+10.25.29.png", but without many parts that Dmitri describe.

Select count(*) not working in Apex

Hello,
The following sql works in both SQL*Plus and Toad but not in apex. The variable seems always to be 0 no matter what data I have on the table.
Basically I try to flip the status from "Inactive" to "Active" only when there is no "Inactive" status left on the table. Say there are 2 inactive statuses.
If I delete one inactive status, the overall status should still be "Inactive". However, with this code, it flips to "Active" status regardless.
I tried manually assign the variable to 1 and the status was not flipped. Therefore, it sounds to me that the count(*) is not working in APEX.
Does anyone experience this before?
Thanks in advance,
Ning
===================================
DECLARE
v_status_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
UPDATE LGR_APP_STATUSES
SET DELETED = 'Y'
WHERE LGR_APP_STATUS_ID = :P42_LGR_APP_STATUS_ID;
commit;
select count(LGR_STATUS_ID) into v_status_count from LGR_APP_STATUSES
where DELETED = 'N'
and LGR_APPLICATION_ID = :p42_application_id
and LGR_STATUS_ID in (3,8);
IF (v_status_count = 0) THEN
update lgr_applications
set lgr_application_status = 'ACTIVE'
where LGR_APPLICATION_ID = :P42_LGR_APPLICATION_ID;
commit;
END IF;
END;

Hi,
In query you have used p42_application_id.
Other statements use P42_LGR_APP_STATUS_ID
Do you have that item? What is session state for that?

Obfuscated JavaScript not works in safari 5.0.2

Javascript not working in any browser except Opera! Please help!

I don't know for what particular reason, javascript has stoppped working in all the browsers I have, (Safari, Firefox, Camino, OmniWeb,)except on Opera. Can anyone direct me in the right direction to solve this issue?

Ok...
1.) Unless it is a horribly designed site javascript not working would not prevent you from at least opening said site. You might not be able to use some of the features, or in the example of acual applications like gmail or then new yahoo mail you might not be able to use those at all since they are written soley for js. But for sites like VersionTracker it shouldnt make a difference.
2.) Javascript is an interpeted language run on the client - ie the web browser. There is nothing to install. its part of the web browser youre using. You can uninstall and reinstall the browser itself but javascript is not a seperate component or something that is shared across applications that utilize it.
Javascript is not the issue here at least in the case of versiontracker and 1010wins. I turned JAvascript off in my browser and visited both and they load jsut fine. Your eChalk mail might need js but i dont know about all that.
So.... what happens when you try to visit one of these sites in one of the problem browsers???? Do you get a balck white screen? A server Error message? a DNS error? Does the app crash? etc..

Javascript not working in htmldb

Hi,
I am using HTMLDB Release 2.
The time I put some java script in page html header section and click on apply changes, it redirects me to wwv_flow.accept page can't be displayed.
Please let me know how to correct this as I want to use javascript in my page.
even the most simple script is not working
==============================
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
==============================

JavaScript is an event driven language; simply putting code on the page does not mean that it will be executed. You will need to have something call your code for it to run.
In order to do that, you will need to use the proper syntax for a JavaScript function. Your code should read:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>Now, you can call the JavaScript function jsDemo() from a button, for example. Simply create a button, and set it to redirect to a URL. For thre URL, enter this:
onclick="jsDemo()";There are many more ways to incorporate JavaScript into your applications - have a look on the APEX home page or this forum for some more examples.
Thanks,

Copied page has resulted in javascript not working

I have a page 6 that works great with its javascript functions in the HTML Header.
I wanted to try some different things on the page without messing up the master, so I copied page 6 to page 2006. The page definition's HTML Header code for page 2006 looks just like the page 6 page definition's HTML Header code.
However, when I run page 2006, my javascript functions do not work. NOTE: The javascript functions are simple and mainly show and hide functions for fields.
I used the copy wizard in Apex 3.0.
Does anyone have an idea what might have happened? Or is there a better way to copy a page?
Thanks in advance.
Maggie

Rutger,
You were right. Inside my javascript functions I had forgotten to change the code to reflect the items on page 2006 (i.e. P2006_NAP_ID instead of P6_NAP_ID).
So now everything is good there. Thank you.
I have another question though.....why would my new page's CREATE button not work properly after the page copy? I checked and compared the P2006 CREATE button and its Branch that returns to same page with the P6 CREATE button and its Branch. And it looks like it is correct. However, when I click the P2006 CREATE button, the data is submitted to database and an id is made for the new record; but, when the page refreshes after the submit, all of the fields are blank. There are no values displayed. It is in a state of being ready for a new record to be created.
What have I lost? Can you tell me what I should check out?
Thanks,
Maggie

Apex Essential application is not working in Apex 4.0

Hi,
We recently upgrated from apex 3.2 to apex 4.0. After the upgrade the apex essentials (developed by Patrick Wolf and team) is not working.
The application can be opened, but the pages look very odd as the icons are not displayed properly. The advisor and power search options can be run, however get the following error.
" ORA-20555: Unknown dictionary view APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_DA
Return to application."
Can it be only used in 3.x?. In order to run apex 4.0 what we need to do? We already deinstalled and reinstalled the application, but got the same error.
Advance Thanks,
Natarajan

I haven't used 4.0 extensively, but get the impression that all that functionality is now built into 4.0, thus not requiring an external application any longer.

SkillBuilders Modal Page is not working in Apex 4.2

Hi All,
I am trying to set up an example in apex.oracle.com of an application developed in Apex 4.1 and the SkillBuilders Modal Page plug-in is not working.
To show this situation, I created a simplified version of the application, with only two pages, in apex.oracle.com.
Workspace: EDIAZJORGE
Username: TEST
Password: test123
Application: 66464 - Modal Page Sample
When Page 3 loads, a Dynamic Action is executed to open Page 2 (Interactive Report) as a modal page, but it is not working (the modal page does not open).
Please notice that this is working in Apex 4.1, and the Embed in Frames property in my application is set to Allow.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Erick
Edited by: ediazjorge on Jan 30, 2013 3:20 PM
Bump!

Erick,
This is due to a change that was made to the Dynamic Actions framework in 4.2. The workaround for now is to change your event to resource load on the DOM window object.
It's working now. In the next release of the plug-in you'll be able to go back to the Page Load (ready) event.

Dan

Javascript not working in Firefox on Mac OS 10.9.2

I am trying to learn Javascript from a tutorial. I'm using Text edit to create a simple .html file that calls a .js file using the script command. The .html file opens normally in the default browser and can print a message to a simple page. It looks like a window tries to open the .js file but it vanishes before opening. I have checked that Javascript is enabled in Firefox. Opening Firefox in Safe mode does not fix the problem. It also fails to execute the .js file in Safari and Chrome.
This problem happens on three Macs, all running Mavericks 10.9.2. When I try this on a Windows PC the .js file executes as expected.
I've tried everything I can think of including turning off the Firewall in Security Settings. It seems like it has to be something system-wide since it happens in all three browsers. Has Apple implemented some type of blocking of Javascript in Mavericks? Any suggestions for why this is not working on my Macs and what I can do to fix it would be greatly appreciated!

Cor-el: Thank you for noticing that! Turning off smart quotes in Textedit which I am using to create the scripts solved the problem. Everything working as expected now. I hope others using Mac OS 10.9.2 will benefit from this as well.

External Javascript not working with C# and XAML windows phone app

I've added a WebView into my project. If I navigate to the html file that contains external javascript files they don't work. Bit if I write the javascript code hardcoded into the html file it works properly.
Here is the html portion:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="testjs.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="abcd"></div>
<br/>
hello! this is a simple html block.
</body>
</html>
Here is the javascript portion:
document.getElementById("abcd").innerHTML = "New text!";
When I open the webview it shows
hello!
this is a simple html block.,
but if the javascript code worked it would show
New
Test! hello! this is a simple html block.
And in the C# code the uri is called this way:
url = onlineTestWebView.BuildLocalStreamUri("myUrl", "problem_page/test.html");
StreamUriWinRTResolver myResolver = new StreamUriWinRTResolver();
onlineTestWebView.NavigateToLocalStreamUri(url, myResolver);

I assume this is because you are using NavigateToString. Please see

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
objects and unknown namespaces.
