Javascript: Open a Form

Hi There,
I really need some hep with this. I have spent quite a bit of
time on it already and have scoured the forums.
I am using v1.
I am trying to open a form at the end of a movie so I can ask
a couple of questions and have the results emailed. I know that
Captivate has the quiz/survey, but the resulting email is ugly and
my users are not happy with that. I have this working outside of
Captivate, but I am having trouble getting Captivate to run this.
within the Captivate .htm file I have:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
<title>nypro fsa</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
var gstrEmailTo = "";
var gstrEmailSubject = "";
var gstrEmailBody = "";
var myVar = 0;
function openform(){
document.write("I am in the function")
formwindow=window.open('fsafeedbackform.html','formwin',
'width=500, height=400')
openform is the function I have created. I have another html
file that contains just the form (fsafeedbackform.html) it is in
the same directory.
On the last slide I have a click box that when clicked has
the command-> javascript:openform();
However when I run the .htm on my website it doesn't run any
of the slides. I don't even see the "I am in the function" comment.
Can someone please help!!!!

Your example is a little confusing as the form seems to be in
the same file as the .swf, but you're opening a different page in
new window?
Also, can you clarify what you mean when you say "when I run
the .htm on my website it doesn't run any of the slides"? Are you
saying the Captivate movie itself doesn't run?
If so, make sure you have the browser set to notify you of
scripting errors (in IE, it's Tools | Internet Options | Advanced |
Display a notification about every script error). You may have a
JavaScript error somewhere that's breaking the page as it
loads.

Opening a form in a POP UP window from report

I would like to open a form in a new window from a
link on a field in the report .
Parameters should be passed from the report to form.
Is it possible to do this with a portal link?
Also After modification of the form & on click of save is it possible to close the newly opened window(form) & refresh the report to reflect the changes as both refer to the same table.
Any Idea pls reply,
Thanks in Adv,
Sajith.

Hi,
You can achieve this using by sql based reports. Here is a sample code snippet
select ''||
to_char(empno)||'' empno
from SCOTT.EMP
Please dont forget to change the display type of the column to HTML in the column formatting section of the reports,
otherwise the report will render the html code.
You can have a close button on the form on which you can write a javascript which closes itself. You can write this
on OnClick
self.close();
Hope this clarifies you doubt :-)
Thanks,
Sharmila

How can I create a custom button for opening a form?

I have a parent form having child forms. In my main form I want to create custom buttons for opening child forms. I want to use master-detail form but there are more than one child forms, and in master-detail form I can only create one detail form. So I will create a form based on a table and in that form I will call the child forms by custom buttons. Can I do that?
Thanx,
Gulsah.

This can be easily done. First open up two instances of your Portal. In one window, you will need to go into your component you wish to link FROM. In the other window you will need to go into your component you wish to link TO. In the component you wish to link TO there will be a moduleid. Note this somewhere. Then, you will see an area that says: "Call Interface: Show". Click on this. (In the window you are linking to.). In this window, you will see a bunch of stuff. At the bottom you will see a URL call. This is the call you need to use. At the top, it explains each piece of the URL call. Just subsitute YOUR appropriate information into the URL call. In the form you wish to link FROM, create a button. Once you create this button, it will appear at the bottom, click on it and you will see an area to insert a Javascript. Click the onClick and insert:
//this is the variable you want to pass from one form to the other
get_field_name = getField(this.form,'COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE');
//this is so you can open the "child" form
window.open('/pls/cc_prod/DAD_NAME.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=MOD_ID_HERE&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE&p_arg values='+GETFIELD_NAME+'&p_arg_names=_COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE_cond&p_arg_values=%3D');
In the fourth tab, where it says, "....before displaying form" insert the following: (This will tell the form how to handle the getField function.)
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
< !--
function getField(form,fieldName)
var objName = "";
var tmp = "";
var dAction = "";
var sel_idx = 0;
var cnt = 0;
var instance = 0;
var slicedName;
var fillData = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
slicedName = form.elements.name.split(".");
tmp = slicedName[2];
instance = parseInt(slicedName[3],10);
if (!tmp)
continue;
objName = tmp;
if (objName == fieldName)
return form.elements[i].value;
//-->
</script>');
I hope this helps.

Browser page still open ,adobe form is closed

Hello ,
We are facing browser issue in Adobe Interactive forms.We are opening the form from a thirdparty portal and whenever we click on submit button the adobeform is closed but the browser is not getting closed.
Can someone suggest me where should i write the code to close te browser.Is it in Webdynpro,or thirdparty portal or in javascript.
We tried bothe the layouts i.e ZCI and ACFx.We are uisng Adobe 8.1 version.The Adobe is processed by Webdynpro for ABAP.
Please help me.
Regards,
Sridar

You can use an Exit Plug in Web Dynpro ABAP to close the browser window, but there is no tell what will happen if you call this functionality in another portal. The other portal could be running the WDA inside some frame and JavaScript access to the top frame might not be possible.

Display Popup or Dialog Message window when opening planning form?

Is there a way to setup a planning web form to display a dialog box or message when the user opens a planning web form or expands a folder in planning? Or, is there a way to change the background color on a web planning form (input is yellow and would like to change it to some other color (light orange))? We are currently using Hyperion v9.3.0.1 on Unix Solaris. I tried attaching a Biz rule with runtime variables but the form errors with message indicating can not have run time variables on the form load option when opening a form.

Hi,
You can use custom javascript to add an alert message in a web form, you will need to read up on using custom javascript in planning, have a read here
As for the colors used in web forms you can customize the css being used, have a read here
Ok?
Cheers

Javascript problem for form created in Adobe Designer 8.2

I have redesigned the form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and tried to do merging of xml values into the form. But not successful. Below is sample of the javascript
trustedImportXFAData = app.trustedFunction (
function (xmlfilenamename)
app.beginPriv();
var re =".pdf";
var filename = this.path;
this.importXFAData(xmlfilenamename);
this.saveAs(filename);
this.closeDoc();
app.endPriv();
This code works find with form created in previous version but not in the new version. I believe it has something to do with the privilege but I do know where I should change.
For you information, I don't get any error from javascript.
Thank you

Hi Paul Guerette,
I just remembered. I better inform you this as well so you can see the real picture.
Desktop - OS / Vista Home
I created the PDF form using Acrobat Livecycle ES 8.2, Then I opened the form in Acrobat Professional 9.0 to enable the save features. Then I open in Reader 9 to make I will be able to save data. Successful
Laptop - OS / XP Professional
I have vb.net that calls the js passing xml as parameter.
jsCode = "trustedImportXFAData(""" + SOURCE_XML + """);"
Fields = formApp.Fields
Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript(jsCode)
In this machine I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. The javascript is inside the \Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Javascript\.
I wonder could this also be, because of the compatibility between 2 different versions.
Thank you

Opener.document.forms.wwv_flow.supplier has no properties

I'm trying to pass a value from a Popup page to a multi-row report (tabular form).
and I'm getting the error, which you can read in my subject line of this posting.
I don't know what the error is telling me when it reads: SUPPLIER has no properties.
the javascript is as follows:
opener.document.forms["wwv_flow"].supplier['f01_0008'].value = passVal1; close()...
where SUPPLIER is the item in the Tabular Form to receive the value I'm passing back from the popup page.
and
f01_0008 is the identifier for the row in the tabular form to passback to.
Can anyone help me here?

Hi Carl. Thanks for your reply. I'm really floundering around here with this.
I don't really know how to write javascript, but am using what I find available and trying to adapt it to my application.
I found an example in the forum that seemed to be an exact match to what I was trying to do, but it was incomplete.
This is the code that I've got in the HTML header of my Popup page:
<script language="JavaScript">
function passBack(passItem1, passVal1)
opener.document.forms["wwv_flow"].supplier['&P143_ITEM.'].value = passVal1; close();
</script>
P143_ITEM is a hidden item on the popup page that contains the rownumber from the tabular form on the calling page.
SUPPLIER is a column in the row of the calling page.
And is where I want to pass the value To from the popup page.
When I drag my cursor over the hyperlink text on the Popup page,
Then the information I see at the bottom of the page is this:
javascript:passBack('f01_0006','Graybar Electric Co.');
It appears to be correct.
Where F01_0006 is the row where I want to pass the value GRAYBAR ELECTRIC CO.
The problem seems to be that I cannot specify the Column where I want to pass
'Graybar Electric Co.' to. (ie: the column SUPPLIER)
If you have any ideas, it would be greatly! appreciated.
Thanks- Gary

Customized Workspace Cannot open PDF forms anymore

Hello,
I have customizaed my workspace with Flex Builder 3, Flex SDK 2 Hotfix 3. In previous months, everything is ok, and my workspace with IE 7.0 can open PDF forms inside processes. However, I do not know what is changed, my previous customized workspaces and new customized workspace can not open PDFs inside IE, but works on Mozilla Firefox. I have also tested workspace source without changing anything and deploying my server. However it still can not open PDFs, blank part is shown inside the PDF frame.
It gives an javascript error, 'undefined' is null or not an object is given
Line: 35
Character: 2
Code: 0
Error Message: 'undefined' is null or not an object
URL: http://lctk2:8080/WorkspaceTK/pdfContainer.html?Resource_78CC71E9-E28E-54CE-1451-B5E26744 9195&%2Fworkspace-server%2Fdocuments%2F8129227453799326550-310.pdf&application%2Fpdf
What can be the problem,
Any prompt answers will be appreciated.
Asiye

PDF forms can be created using Acrobat or LiveCycle but the basic structure of the forms created are very different. If the form is created by Acrobat then Adobe Mobile Reader can open the form. If the form is created by LiveCycle then Adobe Mobile Reader cannot open the form and I suspect there maybe no iOS app that can process the form.
As noted, you need to use a computer to fill-in the form. You also might want to inform the bank about the issue.

Open Infopath form in Modal Popup.

Hello Guys,
I am having SP2013 and I wanted to open my Infopath 2013 forms in to Modal popup in SP2013. At present if I am trying open info path forms, it redirect to the page instead of opening form in to modal popup.
Do anybody have idea how can we open Infopath form in to modal popup instead redirecting to the page.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Suhil,
You can use SP.UI.ModalDialog.OpenPopUpPage to open a InfoPath form in a model dialog, format is like below.
http://marriedtosharepoint.com/2012/01/15/open-an-infopath-form-in-a-dialog/

Javascript for exporting form-data from spawned pages in csv-table

Hello,
I need your help with a problem concerning acrobat.
I created a form. The user can spawn new pages from a template.
The fields have the format Pn.templatename.fieldname, for example: P0.form.kosten1
The user fills the form, saves the file and sends it to me.
Now I have to get a CSV- or Excel-Table from this Data.
The Export-Function doesn't work, because of the different fieldnames.
Does Javascript work?
Perhaps I can create a 2-dimensional array and then write it to a csv-file??
Has anyone a good Idea?
Thank you for helping.
Many greetings,
Thomas

The only way I've found to do this is to open the form in Acrobat, click Forms, mouse over Manage Form Data, then click Export Data. Your only options are to save as .xml or .xdp. I saved my data as .xml. I was then able to import the .xml file into excel by clicking Data, mousing over xml, clicking Import... and browsing to the Acrobat generated .xml file. I know this is convoluted but it's the only way I've found to get the data into a spreadsheet. Acrobat exports the data as filename_data.xml, i.e. a form named contacts will export it's data as contacts_data.xml. Be aware, I've only tested this on a form that had a table in it and nothing else. If your table is part of a form with other fields in it I have no idea how the other data will look after exporting.

Open list form across host header site collections via Modal Dialog window

Hello, I have a web application that has two host header site collections in it. When a user is on Host Header A, I need to open a list's display form that's located on Host Header B. I'm using the JS function SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options)
to open a dialog window to the host header B list's display form. It loads and shows all the columns, but there are a couple issues.
1) The scroll bar on the dialog window is not active (can't scroll up or down to see all the columns). This is an issue on all browsers (IE 8 &9, Chrome, FF)
2) In IE, the SP ribbon does not display. In Chrome and FF the ribbon does display and the buttons work fine.
There's no errors in the ULS logs, and if I use IE8, there's a JavaScript "Access Denied" error. I've confirmed the user account has permissions on both sites & list.
My first thought had to do with anonymous access being turned on at the web application level (not the site level) and the credentials not being passed to the new site collection. But this isn't the case because in Chrome, the ribbon shows and the
buttons are security trimmed correctly based on the users permissions. So I know the credentials are getting passed through the dialog window. And when I use the "Edit' button on the ribbon in chrome, it opens a new dialog window and everything
works correctly (Scroll bar and ribbon).
Has anybody been able to successfully open a list form across two separate host header site collections?

I ended up getting around the cross site collection in the modal window issue by using a custom ASPX page that works as a redirect using JS.
The link the end user clicks pops open the aspx page in a dialog window. I then pull the URL of the list item I want to open from the URL and have JS open that form in the modal window. The key seems to be to open the redirect aspx page under
the same site collection as the list item you want to view.
Here's the JS that's in the aspx page.
<script type="text/javascript">
// We name the current dialog windown
window.name = "newSiteWindow";
// wait until we know the the JS lib is loaded
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(loadNewSite, "sp.js");
function loadNewSite() {
//grab the list item URL from the URL of the dialog window using a pre created function
newURL = GetUrlParmByName("listItem");
//append our dlg query to the end so everything displays correctly. If you do not use IsDlg=0, the ribbon does not display and the window will not scroll.
newURL = newURL + "&IsDlg=0";
//use the current window to open the list item we want to go to.
window.open(newURL, "newSiteWindow");
</script>

Error while opening a form after R12 install

Hi,
I have installed EBS R12.0.4 on linux. The install is successful and i am able to login. But when I am trying to open a forms session I am getting an error "Unknown plugin (application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.5.0_13)". I am using Mozilla Firefox 3 beat 5. The browser is unable to find the java plugin required to open a forms based session.
Can anyone let me know the reason & provide the steps to install the required plugin?
Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,
You need to have a valid entry in the hosts file (under %Windows%\system32\drivers\etc directory) as follows:
<IP Address> <hostname.domainname>
IP Address: is the IP Address of the machine where Oracle Apps is installed
hostname.domainname: is the hostname and the domaninname where Oracle Apps is installed
From IE, add the application URL to the trusted sites list and access the login page from the following URL:
http://<hostname>.<domainname>:<port>/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
To access the application from Firefox, install the missing plugin from the following URL, then you should be able to access the application using the URL posted above.
http://<hostname>:<port>/OA_HTML/oaj2se.exe
If you have Metalink access, please refer to the note referenced in my previous reply for more details.

Hussein

TNS Listener error while opening a Form !

Hi all,
I have installed Form/Reports 11gr2 with Weblogic 10.3.6 64-bit & database 11gr2.

I searched on google, but didn't clear my error. I also checked Oracle services, all are started.
So please guide me !
