Modal Window Blues

I've read through the posts here and also tried to follow along with the blog post here: http://monkeyonoracle.blogspot.com/2010/07/modal-pop-up-with-dynamic-actions.html
I think I have the hard part covered, i.e. adding jQuery selector attirbutes, trapping them for events, etc. So, I am able to get to the dialog code when the desired column is clicked (in fact, there is conditional logic so only certain rows trigger the jQuery selector). All of this is working fine.
The issue is that when the modal dialog window is opened, the iFrame is always empty. Here is the (mostly plagiarized) code to popup the modal window:
/* prevent default behavior on click */
var e = this.browserEvent;
e.preventDefault();
/* Trigger JQuery UI dialog */
var horizontalPadding = 30;
var verticalPadding = 30;
$('<iframe id="modalDialog" src="http://www.google.com" />').dialog({
   title: "Select Margining Method",
   autoOpen: true,
   width: 700,
   height: 300,
   modal: true,
   close: function(event, ui) {apex.event.trigger('#P2_AFTER_MODAL','select',''); $(this).remove();},
   overlay: {
       opacity: 0.5,
       background: "black"}
}).width(700 - horizontalPadding).height(300 - verticalPadding);
return false; At first, I had created another APEX window with a report on it and put that link there. I then, as you can see above, hard coded it for google just to see if it was something about my page or my session or whatever. However, even this returns an empty iFrame. This is what get rendered when the code above is executed:
<iframe id="modalDialog" src="http://www.google.com" style="width: 670px; min-height: 0px; height: 270px; " class="ui-dialog-content ui-widget-content">
</iframe>The more odd part is that when I look at the HTML in Chrome developer tools, within the iFrame tag, I see a node named #document. Within #document, I see (empty) pairs for:
<HTML>
   <HEAD></HEAD>
   <BODY></BODY>
</HTML>Howver, since they are all empty Chrome may just not bother to copy them to the clipboard.
At any rate, does anyone know why the desired page is not displaying within the modal dialog window?
Thanks,
-Joe

Joe,
i tried your code but had no problems, except for google.com since i can't access that from my apex environment. Pages from the same application were no problem however.
Have you verified the application security attributes, and if 'Browser Security' --> 'Embed in frames' is set to "Allow from same origin" or "Allow"?
Also, if you want modal functionalities, have you taken a look at the Skillbuilder Modal Page plugin, which does most of the voodoo for you?

Is it possible to make a modal window resizable?

Is it possible to make a modal window resizable?
I am not sure that I have the best way to create modal windows in the first place.
I have a TitleWindow which is hidden, and when I want to display it I make it visible and add it to thePopUpManager.
For example here I have an "importing" window which is visible while the application imports some stuff:
    <mx:TitleWindow id="importingWindow" title="Importing Frame"
        layout="absolute" styleName="Blue"
        creationPolicy="all" visible="false"
        width="350" height="150"
        modalTransparency="0.3" modalTransparencyBlur="1" modalTransparencyColor="0x999999"
        modalTransparencyDuration="50">
            <mx:Label tabIndex="0" text="Importing... please wait!" left="55" top="45"/>
    </mx:TitleWindow>
            private function showImportingWindow():void
                importingWindow.visible=true;
                 PopUpManager.addPopUp( importingWindow, this, true );
                PopUpManager.centerPopUp( importingWindow );
            private function hideImportingWindow():void
                PopUpManager.removePopUp( importingWindow );
                importingWindow.visible = false;
How would it be possible for this window to be resizable?
If not through the TitleWindow, is there any other way to have a resizable window within the application? (i know the application window can be resizable, but what about windows within the application?)

Yes, but not as easily as you can make a normal window resizeable (AFAIK). You would need to handle it all yourself by adding a resize area with listeners, etc.

Windows Blue Screen Error Message Appears As Soon As IPod Connected

Everytime I connect my IPod to my computer, I get the Windows Blue Screen error message. Thought it was the cable, so plugged cable in by itself. No problem. Uninstalled IPod and ITunes software and then plugged in IPod, still got the Blue Screen. The Blue Screen says something about "recent plugged in device problem". It is not the cable, it must be the IPod. Did not have this problem when I bought it. Tried it on labtop and get the same error message. I can't do updater or anything that requires me to plug the IPod into a computer because the Blue Screen appears immediately. When I unplug, the Blue Screen remains and locks up the computer so I have to restart each time. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help.

Hi Mike thank you for replying,
I am not able to start the computer in safe mode, safe mode with networking, last good known configuration etc, Each time it quickly blue screens and restarts about two secs into the process.
I was unable to try a clean OS install from the disk as it gave the blue screen error shown in the original post. The same thing happened when I tried to use the repair option on the XP home disc. So i can't get into the computer at all to start diagnosing the fault, the only clue I have is the error message, and after searching the internet I haven't found much enlightenment from that yet.
If you can help me out or suggest where to search it would be much appreciated.
Thx

Adobe Form NOT getting displayed in WebDynpro Modal Window (Pop Up)

Hi,
I am trying to display the table data in a Interactive Form. I have used TABLE UI element in Interactive Form. When the user clicks on a EXPORT button this form is displayed in a pop up window (Modal Window). This form is not getting displayed for most of the users. In some PC's it is getting displayed, strange is all their browser versions and OS versions are same.
Portal Version: NW04s SP8
NWDS Version : NW04s SP8

I tried changing the display type (property of Interactive Form Element) to NATIVE, it is not working at all. If i change it to "activeX", then it works in some PC's.No logs are found in the server as well as in the client PC as well.
Please let me know if you have come across this problem, looking forward to your solution.

How do you open a modal window from an Edge Animate button?

I am trying to create an animated group of buttons that open a Bootstrap 3 modal window when clicked. The animation (OAM file) is placed on the Bootstrap page.
This code is added to Animate "CREATION COMPLETE" for button creation and button click:
// Button 1
var btn1 = sym.createChildSymbol("HomeButton", "menu");
   // Convert/store a reference to the symbol as a string representing the element name of the symbol instance.
var btn1_e = btn1.getSymbolElementNode();
   // Now can use that element string and convert it to a DOM element to use with jQuery to call its css properties
   // and adjust whatever you'd like, including its position property
   sym.$(btn1_e).css({"position":"relative", "margin":"10"});
btn1.getVariable("setLabel")("Print Work");
btn1.getVariable("setDescription")("Examples of Telex advertisement");
btn1.$("MyImageBox").css("background" , "url(images/telexads_full269x151.jpg) no-repeat");
btn1.getSymbolElement().click(function() {
          console.log("button 1 was clicked");
document.getElementById("myModal");
$('#myModal').modal('show');
The div for the modal is on the main HTML page. I want to have the modal open a larger image of the button. Basically a lightbox for the Edge Animate stage, but it has to access the div on the parent HTML document (not the EdgeAnimate.html).
Here is the error from the Chrome Javascript console:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'modal' portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
(anonymous function)portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
f.event.dispatchjquery-1.7.1.min.js:3
h.handle.i
I've tried Edge Commons Spotlight, but that doesn't open on the page correctly; it puts the image at the bottom of the main page.
Any ideas? Thanks

How do I include/show data from a child table in a Modal Window?

How do I show data from a child table in a Modal Window?
I have an application where each customer might have multiple addresses and phone numbers which are stored in child tables. When I show the customer in a record on a screen I can place a Modal Window button on the screen which can be pushed at runtime
to display detail information for the particular customer parent table which works great. However, I would also like to display the data from the address and phone number child tables. Is there a way to do that? Or can I just launch a hole separate screen
which would automatically display the needed data for the particular customer? If yes, how?
Thank you for any help.

I am not even sure how to describe my situation in such a way that this forum incident would be of benefit to other people as I think it is fairly unconventional.
The “add contactaddress” link does not show up on the right.
The contactaddress table is a child of the contact table.
The contact table is a child of the contactlink table.
And the contactlink table is a child of the person table.
I have it set up this way because the contact in the contact table may be a contact to multiple persons in the person table and I do not want to re-enter the contact info every time the contact is used.
In the list detail screen of the person table I can see the contactlink child collection so that I can see the name of the person in the contact table at runtime. However, the contactaddress collection is not related to the person table so it does not show
up on the right hand side of the design screen as an “add contactaddress”; nor is there “add contact” link.
What I would like to happen during runtime is that it is not necessary to switch screens from the person list detail screen to a contact list detail screen to see the addresses and phone numbers for the contact.
Is my setup unnecessarily convoluted? Is there a better way? Please see the two snapshots below.
Perhaps there is a way to call up a Detail screen from the List Detail at runtime?
Anyway, if you are still reading, thank you very much for your help.

The LOV modal window could not return value to the base page

when practicing the "create1" task in tutorial, met an issue.
when create an employee, manageName is a messageLovInput and managerID is a messageTextInput.
The issue is the LOV modal window could not return value to the mangerName, but can return to managerID .
If I remove the data boud porperties of the managerName (the bc4j porperties of view name-EmpFullVO and view attribute-MgrName), the lov works fine.
What is the reason?

James I would suggest to read the LOV topic in OAF developers' guide. Lov mappings are responsible for bringing pop up values to base page in LOV.

Windows "Blue screen of Death" when booting computer attached to LabVIEW PXI realtime system

Good Morning (at least in the western hemisphere)!
I'm having a problem on two test systems where intermittently, at least on one machine, I get a Windows "Blue Screen of Death" error message when booting the machine connected to a PXI RT system. I reloaded the RT systems software yesterday (LV RT 7.1.1, NI-VISA 3.3.1) and am having this problem on two different setups, two laptops, two PXI chassis. Our short term work around has been to boot with the network cable removed at one end or the other, but these are the baseline models for a larger test system in the design/construction stage that will not be used by knowledgeable engineers but by (probably more knowledgeable!) technicians. Any ideas would be a help
Thanks again,

Blue screens are almost always caused by drivers and not by applications, so chances are there's a problem on the driver level. The crash log file will be instrumental to diagnosing this problem.
Turn on the crash event logging as described in this Microsoft KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314084/EN-US/
...and then post the details from the crash found in the Windows Event Viewer here. That will help us narrow the problem down.

Dv6 Notebook "Black Screen" following "Windows Blue Screen" error message. Caps Lock blinking!

I have a HP DV6 notebook. I left my computer on overnight and the next morning I woke up to find a Windows Blue Screen error message. It said to restart my computer. I was in a rush so I just closed the lid. When I returned I opened the lid and the screen was black. I pressed the power button to restart it and I haven't been able to restart it since. I now have a power light, a black screen and the CAPS LOCK light is blinking twice then a pause! Please help!

Hi btgclark,
I understand that you are having an issue with turning on your notebook and the CAPS LOCK light blinks twice and then pauses. The following document 'Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps' will walk you through the steps that you need to follow. For your error code, it means that the BIOS has a corruption failure. This document will walk you through the necessary steps to get this resolved.
If for some reason this document does not resolve the issue please provide me with the model number to your notebook. I have included a document 'How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?'
Please let me know how this works out for you, thank you.

Windows Blue Screen "unmountable_boot_volume"

Hi!
I'm using Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro in order to install Windows XP Professional. After successful installation of Windows XP Professional (re-formated bootcamp partion by windows setup with NTFS file system) a Windows blue screen appears with "UNMOUNTABLEBOOTVOLUME" error. The Windows logo and progress bar was visible before the Windows blue screen appeared.
Does anybody know how I can tell Windows to be able to mount the boot volume? Is it a "volume rights issue"? What right settings do I need to set the partition?
Thanx for your help.
Gerhard

You may have better luck posting to the Boot Camp Forum. But here's some ideas:
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555302/en-us In particular, boot off the Windows installation CD (hold down alt while booting, then select the CD) and enter the recovery console. Then do chkdsk /r and fixboot. Finally, exit
If that still doesn't help, boot back into Mac OS and open Disk Utility. Select your hard drive (not just the Macintosh HD Volume) and being very careful to not hit "apply" select the "partitions" tab and look at the bottom for the "Partition Map". Make sure it is GUID. It needs to be GUID to use Windows. It should be GUID if it is an MBP. If it is not GUID, unfortunately, the only method I know for converting it to GUID will effectively erase everything on the hard drive, including Mac OS.

Windows Blue Screen - when trying to re-sync an IPOD after doing 5 R's

My windows based Itunes failed to recognize my ipod, so I trouble shooted and finally ended up doing the 5 R's.
This resulted in a "Blank Ipod" (after restore).
I was able to successfully get Itunes to recognize my ipod after the restore. That is when a "major problem" occurred.
When my 37 gigs of MP3s on my PC attempt to automatically update onto my "blank ipod", my system crashes giving me the dreaded windows BLUE SCREEN! The error messgae indicates that a physical memory dump occurred and the system shuts down.
I figure it has something to do with all of those gigs trying to update onto the ipod. SO, I start to manually transfer (drag and drop) about 100 mp3s at a time onto the ipod within itunes. It still crashed after the 3rd batch of 100 mp3s.
Has anyone experienced this? Does it have anything to do with Mirosoft's newest IE vunerability? I use Firefox usually, but sometimes HAVE to use IE. What can I do?
This really *****.
thanks for your help.

hi zeppy!
hmmmmmm. a 0x7E? that's not the most commonly reported BSOD code here.
but the MS KB seemed to have at least one clue for us.
(1) sometimes people can get blue screens when they plug in an ipod if their FireWire, USB, or dock has gone bad. i see from that STOP message resource that the 0x7E can be associated with dodgy USB.
by way of tracking down that possibility, do you still get the BSOD if you connect to a different port? (or, if you've got a dock, connect directly to a port instead?)
(2) on general principles, we'd better check for malware. download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. if your security software providers offer online scans, run those as well. (they can sometimes pick up an infection in cases where the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
(3) especially if you've recently installed any new hardware on your PC, head into Device Manager to check to see if there's any alert/warning messages showing up next to any of your devices. if you see any, what do they say?
(4) let's also let's also capture a minidump of the crash and send it to the Discussions Hosts, so they can throw it over the fence for the Apple engineers to analyze.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
And then send it to a Discussions Host. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.

JRE 1.5.0_13 problem with Modal Window

We have stand alone browser based application built on HTML, Javascript, and Java (non-GUI applet). We were running the Sun JRE 1.4.2_06, but have recently upgarded to 1.5.0_13. As soon as we upgraded to 1.5, started experiencing the below problem -
The HTML screen displays a modal windows which makes a Java call to the MQClient software through Applet (via OBJECT Tag) to communicate with mainframe. The MQClient Java code seems to be blocked until the user clicks on any other area of the screen to shift the focus from our modal dialog to any other window (either clicking on the task bar, clicking on another window in the background, or hitting Alt/F10 key).
The same code runs fine with JRE 1.4.2_06.
Based on a further analysis+ it seems like there is an issue, when a modal html window makes a java call for creating a socket connection (other then localhost). In this scenario, socket is never created unless you drag a modal window or move a focus away from a modal window.
Above problem seems to be resolved with JRE 1.6.0_10.

.. All the Java class files are bundled in a zip file under different packages and Zip file path is provided at run time when Application starts. It is safest to distribute classes and application resources as Jar files.

..The path of Zip file is at C:\EALife\Program ...Whoa up a second there!
If this applet is only ever being loaded on the same machine as the codebase, why is it an applet at all? It would make more sense to distribute/install an application.
If this applet is being loaded by PCs at remote locations, then the will probably not have a C:\EALife\Program path at all (especially is they use Ubuntu, like here).
..and home directory path is C:\EAFramework\Program\Screens. We are putting all paths in a single variable (APP_CLASS_PATH) and using that variable as a parameter value in Object Id tag for creating an Applet. Below is the code snnipet for Object Id tag -Sun has championed a script to use for applet versioning and writing the applet element. I suggest you use it instead, it is known as 'deployJava.js' - see top hit at Google for details.
