Maxlength of HTMLDB_ITEM

I successfully created a tabular update form. I set the length of the popup_from_lov to length of 60, but the maxlength of the editable area never increases past 20. This also occurs for popup_from_query. I looked at the html source and its maxlength value is set at 20. Is there anyway to override the maxlength value generated from HTMLDB_ITEM? I checked core.css and the templates and couldn't find anything.
htmldb_item.popup_from_lov(3, a.Trail_name,'LOV_TRAIL_NAME',60) Trail_Name

HTMLDB_ITEM report with 'Drill Down'

I have created a report using the HTMLDB_ITEM Package and I would like to link to a form to add more detail. I have tried to create this using the tools but it assigns the value of the hyperlink to #column heading# which is not working. Am I missing something or is there another way of doing it?
Thanks
Simon

Simon,
Have you tried to contruct the link manually like so:
select 'detail' link,
htmldb_item.text (1, ename)
from emp

Reports not retaining carriage returns from htmldb_item.textarea

Im created a tabular form for multi row updates using htmldb_item.textarea for one of the fields. When I update the tabular form it keeps any carriage returns in this field, which is good. I then created a PL/SQL function body returning a SQL Query report for printing purposes. The problem is that the field populated by the htmldb_item.textarea does not retain any of the carriage returns in the report.
I enter the following in the textarea on the tabular form:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
The report I created then displays the data as:
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
I need the report to display the data the same as it appears on the tabular form.
I tried this in my report from reading other similar situations on this forums, but didnt work.
replace("TEXTAREA",''||chr(13)||'',''||
||'') as title
Anyone know of a solution?

How about this?
Go the page where you can edit the report column attribute - here is the bread crumb to help you figure out what I am talking about
Home>Application Builder>Application 99999>Page Definition>Report Attributes>Column Attributes
The second box in this page is Column formatting, you will find 4 text boxes (Number / Date Format, CSS Class, CSS Style, Highlight words) and a text area (HTML Expression). In the text area replace #COLUMN_ALIAS# with <PRE>#COLUMN_ALIAS</PRE>. You will get your newlines without tweaking the query or removing Strip HTML. Strip HTML is a security feature that I would not disable. On the down side you will loose some of the ability to format like fonts etc (:-(,
Here is why you loose the newlines in the report. When browsers render html they have the liberty to reformat it. When reformating they can play around with whitespaces including new lines. To force a new line you have to use the BR tag or you can say the text is preformated using the PRE tags.

Values for htmldb_item.text field do not display in CSV output

HTML DB experts,
I have a report query with the following 2 items in the SELECT statement:
wwv_flow_item.display_and_save(2, DOC_CD, 10) DOC_CD,
htmldb_item.text(3, DOC_DESC, 50, 255) DOC_DESC
I have enabled the CSV output for this report. The problem is, when I generate a csv file, only the DOC_CD (wwv_flow_item.display_and_save) displays. The values for the DOC_DESC (htmldb_item.text) do not display. What do I need to do to get the DOC_DESC to display?
Thanks for your help.

Items rendered using htmldb_item generate HTML tags on the form, not plain text. You are right, the CSV export excludes them.
Your best best is to create another report region on some other page with the same query except replace all the htmldb_item() calls with regular columns i.e. make it a read-only report and use the "export: CSV" template and put up a link to this page at the bottom of your editable report (instead of the builtin CSV link). This way when you click on this link, it will generate your report and immediately offer to export it to CSV
Hope this helps.

Htmldb_item.date_popup and sort options in reports

I use the htmldb_item.date_popup in a report (PLSQL returning SQL). Everything works fine unless I provide the option to sort columns. If I allow a column to be sorted, the date_popup does not return the date to the corresponding field but to another field of the same column. However, the users want to be able to sort the report due to several columns. Can anyone provide a work-around?
The query is as follows:
DECLARE
statement VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
statement := '
select
htmldb_item.checkbox(47, ID, ''onClick="javascript:doSubmit()"'', :P3_FREISTELLUNG_SELECTED, '':'') as CHECKBOX,
htmldb_item.hidden(11,ID)||
htmldb_item.hidden(12,ID_VERTRAG)||
htmldb_item.date_popup(13,null,VON,''DD.MM.YYYY'',13,10) as BEGINN,
htmldb_item.date_popup(14,null,BIS,''DD.MM.YYYY'',13,10) as ENDE,
htmldb_item.date_popup(15,null,ERTEILT,''DD.MM.YYYY'',13,10) as ERTEILT,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_lov(16,decode(FLAG_CANCELED,null,0,FLAG_CANCELED),''LOV_FREISTELLUNG_NULL'',null,''NO'') as FLAG_CANCELED,
decode(FLAG_DELETED,1,''direkt gelöscht'',2,''indirekt gelöscht'',''aktiv'') as WERT_DELETED,
htmldb_item.text(17,BEMERKUNG,20,4000) as BEMERKUNG
from VERTRAG_FREISTELLUNG where ID_VERTRAG = :P3_KOPF_ID';
if :P3_FREISTELLUNG_NEU = 2 then
statement := statement||'
union all
select
null as CHECKBOX,
htmldb_item.hidden(11,null)||
htmldb_item.hidden(12,null)||
htmldb_item.date_popup(13,null,null,''DD.MM.YYYY'',13,10) as BEGINN,
htmldb_item.date_popup(14,null,null,''DD.MM.YYYY'',13,10) as ENDE,
htmldb_item.date_popup(15,null,null,''DD.MM.YYYY'',13,10) as ERTEILT,
null as FLAG_CANCELED,
null as WERT_DELETED,
htmldb_item.text(17,null,20,4000) as BEMERKUNG
from dual';
end if;
RETURN statement;
END;
PS: I know that the problem already has been discussed in the forum, but I did not find a solution for the problem.

I have this issue as well with popup_from_query compunded with sorting.
Wondering if there is any workaround from anyone ?

HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_QUERY Populating Previous Text Field

I have manually created an updateable report from an SQL Query in which I manually index each editable field. I also include some hidden values which I also attempt to control the index values. The rows to be displayed on this page are the result of an adhoc search page (P30). Everything works fine except when I have more than one row returned and try to edit any row other than the first. When I do, the previous row's corresponding field is affected and the last row popup fields can never be changed. My listboxes work fine and appear to be indexed correctly. Am I missing something? Thanks in-advance.
A condensed version of my SQL:
select
NULL "CHECK$01", -- index 01? -- Checkbox for multiple updates is first index
"TRANSACTION_NUMBER",
"H_RID", -- index 02?
"DUTY", -- index 03?
"IC", -- index 04?
"IS_NEW", -- index 05?
"SUBMIT" -- index 06?
from(
select
'0' AS "TRANSACTION_NUMBER", -- to be replaced with dynamic value
HTMLDB_ITEM.HIDDEN(2,PE||FO) AS "H_RID", -- could hiddens be the problem?
HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY_XL(3,DUTY,'SELECT DUTY||'' - ''||NVL(TITLE,''None Selected'') a, DUTY b FROM PDM.DUTY ORDER BY b') AS "DUTY",
HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_QUERY(4,IC,'SELECT IC||'' - ''||NVL(TITLE,''None Selected'') a, IC b FROM PDM.INFRA_STRUCTURE ORDER BY b') AS "IC",
HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(5,'N','Yes;Y,No;N') AS "IS_NEW",
HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(6,'N','Yes;Y,No;N') AS "SUBMIT",
HTMLDB_ITEM.MD5_CHECKSUM(duty,ic)
from fd.pe
/* Where condition to address previous search page values to determine number of rows to return for editing */
where (:P30_DUTY = DUTY OR :P30_DUTY IS NULL)

Scott,
I had indicated the example was throwing errors associated with the HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_QUERY items. Although this is not the same error I am encountering in version 2.0 it does indicate that either there is an issue with my SQL or a bug with version 3. The SQL used to generate the reports is almost identical to the query I am running on my development site. The table and column names are different and I have provided a "Reader's Digest" version of my actual SQL.
I can eliminate the LOV errors on this site by replacing the POPUPs with LISTs, but that defeats the point. For efficiency of time, I need to implement POPUPs because the data behind them can potentially result in hundreds of records. Compound this with the number of fields per record which might also employ POPUPs and I could very quickly exceed memory limitations of HTMLDB.
Again, any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Ed
PS. I have edited my SQL for the POPUPs. Apparently, the init LOV errors associated with them were generated by a simple concatenation of data fields within the inner select. I originally had:
HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_QUERY(4,IC,'SELECT IC||'' - ''||NVL(TITLE,''No Title Available'') as a, IC as b FROM BORG_CUBE.IC ORDER BY b') AS "IC",
by changing the above to read:
HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_QUERY(4,IC,'SELECT IC as a, IC as b FROM BORG_CUBE.IC ORDER BY b') AS "IC",
the init LOV errors went away. Now, there are no errors and no ability to replicate my error for you. Upgrading is not an option at this point, so I will begin recoding. :-(

HTMLDB_item.Date with row selector

Hi :

the problem wht i am facing is if suppose 10 rows are generated when i select 3rd row date and insert date picker date get populated in 2nd row similarly 2nd rows to 1st and so on
please try this query
SELECT
HTMLDB_ITEM.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE(2,NULL) "Project Objects",
HTMLDB_ITEM.DATE_POPUP(3,rownum,null,'dd-mon-yyyy',12,15) "date"
FROM
DUAL
UNION
SELECT
HTMLDB_ITEM.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE(2,SYSDATE) "Project Objects",
HTMLDB_ITEM.DATE_POPUP(3,rownum,null,'dd-mon-yyyy',12,15) "date"
FROM
DUAL
first change this query to sql updatable report and add row selector then try to select date from 2nd row ull find the problem wht i am facing
please suggest how to resolve this
thanks
sudhir

ya we it wont update when we use a rownum when we resort and update i did like this see if you can understand the code
DECLARE
vRow binary_integer;
BEGIN
for i in 1..htmldb_application.g_f01.count
loop
vRow := htmldb_application.g_f01(i);
UPDATE SCHEDULE_VARIANCES
SET
REVISED_START = htmldb_application.g_f02(vRow),
REVISED_END = htmldb_application.g_f03(vRow),
ACTUAL_START = htmldb_application.g_f04(vRow),
ACTUAL_END = htmldb_application.g_f05(vRow),
STATUS = htmldb_application.g_f06(vRow),
-- ACCEPTANCE = htmldb_application.g_f07(vRow),
COMMENTS = htmldb_application.g_f08(vRow)
where
PROJECT_NAME = :P25_PROJECTS AND
OBJECT_NAME = htmldb_application.g_f09(vRow) ;
end loop;
End;
here i am relating object name to row selector that is the check box so that when u sort the row also based on the object name that u select it will update this worked for me
thanks

Only use htmldb_item once per page?

Not sure how to word this correctly.
Am I correct in assuming that I can only use the htmldb_item once per page? I know it can be used multiple times within the tabular report, but if I used it again on the same page in a different region, how would it be distinguishable from a previous iteration?
Say I have two regions on a page, both with manually created tabular reports using the htmldb_item syntax. It's not apparent to me (if there is a way), on how using the htmldb_application syntax to distinguish between region 1 and region 2. They both would wind up with g_f01, etc. variables, but I don't see any other characteristics to differentiate between them, like maybe passing a region (or any other) name to the htmldb_item construct so the the arrays could be distinguished more?
This is all new to me, I've been out of loop for the last 8 years doing manual data cleanup from an old database that was basically a spreadsheet (a real mess!), so forgive me again if I'm missing anything obvious or just way off base.
Thanks.

Bill,
You are correct that you want to avoid populating values in the same global arrays g_f0n more than once by creating tabular forms in two regions. It would be hard to distinguish from which region values in a particular array came. You can, however use g_f01..g_f10 for one region and then g_f11..g_f20 for another region.
This assumes you're doing manual process of these arrays, because the processes used by the wizard can only deal with one tabular form per page.

CSV output selects all values returned by htmldb_item.select_list_from_lov

I have a report with several columns using htmldb_item.select_list_from_lov. When I enable CSV Output (export to Excel) All the values in each of the columns get exported to Excel, not only the one selected in the report. For example. A value of ABC is selected in the report (stored in the database and this is a valid value in the LOV). In the drop down I also have values of DEF, GHI and IJK. I would expect only ABC to be exported, but I actually get ABC, DEF, GHI, IJK (all possible values) instead all displayed in the same column.
Any ideas?

I was able to work through this problem. Thank You.

Why I cannot process a disabled field when using htmldb_item

I have a report that has this in the select statement
case when c.sec_lic_status in (1,2,7,505,1002,1004,1005) then
htmldb_item.text(2,sum( distinct a.fee_variable),8,20)
else
htmldb_item.text(2,sum( distinct a.fee_variable),8,20,'disabled')
end "Quantity 1"
The above shows correctly. If there are 2 records one field is disable and the other is enabled.
I have a process that fires on submit - after Computations and Validations. But the records don't changed when updating the enabled one.
In debugging and writing to a file using the UTL_FILE package, I'm able to pinpoint that the disable fields are the problem.
Is there a trick on manually processing disabled fields?
I've found that when I uncheck the show box in the report, I cannot use the fields either. This is not a problem, just another comment.
My main problem is what do I have to do to manually process a disabled field.
Thanks for your help, comments, pointers, or anything that could help me or give me ideas.
juan

Juan - HTML items with the disabled attribute are not POSTed with the form so your after-submit processes never see them. Try 'readonly="readonly"' instead. Others may be able to suggest how to also give those cells a greyed-out appearance.

Change Value of HTMLDB_ITEM using HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKbox

Hello,
I've got a region with a 'pl/sql function returning sql query'
declare
q varchar2(4000);
begin
q:=' select htmldb_item.checkbox(1,t.jedi_ean_id) as Auswahl, ';
q:=q||' t.ean, j.artikelbezeichnung, ';
q:=q||' t.artikelmengeneinheit, ';
q:=q||' htmldb_item.text(2,t.iln) as ILN, ';
q:=q||' from malus.jedi_ean t; ';
return q;
end;
My Query return for example 10 rows. Now I want to check 5 of this 10 rows using the checkbox.
With the following PROCESS i am able to save the new values of the field ILN to the Database.
for i in 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT
loop
update jedi_ean j
set j.iln = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F02(i),
where j.jedi_ean_id = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);
end loop;
Now to my Problem:
I want to have an input field outside of this report where the user can manually set the value of the field ILN.
Afterwards the user checks 5 of the 10 rows and then he should have the possibility to click on a button
to assign these values to the 5 checked rows in the report, not in the database.
After this step the user should click on a submit button an start the existing process above.
Is this possible??

Hi,
I do not know can you do that with dynamic action or is there of of box solution.
But see this example
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=40323:30
You can bind onchange event to text field, and call Ajax to get emp name.
Then use sample JavaScript to set value to display only item

Issue with CSV export while using HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV in SQL

Hi,
I have created a SQL report with HTMLDB_ITEM package. IN that report, I have generated a report column using SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV, which can be used by the admin to update the column entry.
Here is the link:-
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=50508:8:
The update is working fine, The issue is, if you download this report as a CSV, it will export all the values of the select list for that particular column. Is there any way to restrict the export to the single value of that column( or the current value in the database). Please help/ suggest.
thanks

Htmldb_item.text_from_lov madness (bug)?

 Application shared LOV "TESTOVI_USERA" query looks like:
 SELECT NAZIV, TESTOVI.ID
FROM TESTOVI, TESTOVI_USERS
WHERE TESTOVI_USERS.TEST_ID=TESTOVI.ID AND TESTOVI_USERS.USER_ID = :G_USER_ID
ORDER BY 1 where ":G_USER_ID" is global application item assigned after login and certainly has some number value-reference of that variable works OK all over app!
 Result of that quewry looks like:
NAZIV ID
Opći test 1
56346 2 In Web app, I use radio group (called "P6_TEST_ID") based on that LOV-works OK!
 On next page I want to reference text value from that LOV (radio grup called "P6_TEST_ID"). For that I use "Before Header" process with code:
 :P7_TIP_TESTA := htmldb_item.text_from_lov(:P6_TEST_ID,'TESTOVI_USERA'); but I get error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 113: PL/SQL: ORA-00911: invalid character ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored I have checked on that page "P6_TEST_ID" value and it has correct value (1 or 2 as expected).
 Have to say that I use htmldb_item.text_from_lov function with great success on other pages, but here all went wrong!
 On this page there is another call of that function which works OK. What I can say that really distincts these two LOVs is that "problematic" one has call of application variable and "correct" LOV reference only table fields!
 I think I get in some Appex "trouble generation" and do not know how to get out of that?
 THX
 P.S.
 Haven't explain that in "Before Header" process 2 hidden items are assigned. They are used on the form in "Label" part of "Display as Text (does not save state)" control as. Here is example of problematic one (the correct one is similar):
_label: <_li>Test value: &P7_TIP_TESTA.<_/li"> Message was edited by:
