Multiple buttons on a form

Hi all,
I have a form which have four input buttons(<input type="button">). Based on which button is clicked I have to call a method in the servlet. The problems is the value of the button is always returned as null.
The code is given below.
In jsp
<input type=button name="saveBtn" value=" Save " class=btn>
<input type=button name="editBtn" value=" Edit " class=btn>
<input type=button name="deleteBtn" value=" Delete " class=btn>
<input type=button name="nextBtn" value=" Next " class=btn>
In servlet this code is used.
String button = request.getParameter("saveBtn")
Here button is always null. I know that using submit buttons dont have this problem. But our PL want to use buttons only.

Hi,
You could try this:
Have a hidden field in your jsp like
<input type=hidden name="text-for -saveBtn" value=" ">
Now when save button is clicked call a javascript function say test_savebutton() :
<input type=button name="saveBtn" value=" Save " class=btn onClick="test_savebutton()">
In the test_savebutton( ) function, set the hidden field value ,
document.<form-name>.text-for -saveBtn.value="Testbuttonclicked"
Then in your servlet you could use
request.getParameter("text-for -saveBtn"); to get the value of the field .If it is "Testbuttonclicked" ,
then "saveBtn" was clicked,hence call appropriate function.

Multiple Submit buttons on one form

I'm developing an application that will have 4 buttons at the bottom of the form to do various things with the form information. One of the buttons will link to a separate web page for confirmation of the action. I tried to set a global variable and place an onclick event for the button which assigns a specific value for that variable. I then placed a <jsp:forward tag in my code that would be included if the global variable was the specific value which the button changes it to. I"m not sure if I'm being clear here. There is the forms page with the 4 buttons. It possesses all of this code. So the global variable is declared at the top. The variable is set if the 'Delete' button is clicked. And further down there is an if statement used to include the <jsp:forward tag when the 'Delete button has been pressed and this form is again being drawn up.
What I describe doesn't work. The global variable I guess is reset when this form is drawn up a second time after the 'Delete' submit button is pressed. I''m not married to the way that I'm solving this problem at this point so I'll take any suggestions. But basically I want the Web Forms fields to be sent to this delete jsp so that I can confirm the command to delete the indicated record from the database. The three other buttons on this form are 'Add/Update', 'Rename', and 'Cancel'. The Add/Update and Rename buttons should also be submit buttons but they should link back to the same page as they are located on. The cancel button is to return the user to the index page. I have this working using a document.location.href command in the onclick event for that button.

Hi Brain. If I'm following your thoughts, you may want to consider replacing the four sumbit buttons with four radio control buttons and one submit button.
I would suggest that you set your form action via a radio control button then, thru the form action, pass the form to a Servlet or JSP that contains some logic.
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 3.2 final//en">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<form action='ServletOrJSPNameHere' method='post'>
<br> <input type='radio' name='formAction' value='Delete'>Delete
<br> <input type='radio' name='formAction' value='Add/Update'>Add/Update
<br> <input type='radio' name='formAction' value='Rename'>Rename
<br> <input type='radio' name='formAction' value='Cancel'>Cancel
<br> <input type='submit' value='submit'>
<form>
</body>
</html>
// this code would go into your Servlet, JSP, or worker class
String formAction = request.getParamger("formAction");
// test for null value
if ( formAction == null ) {
     // reload the page with a message to pick a radio button
else if ( formAction.equals("Delete") {
   doTheDeleteProcessing();
else if ( formAction.equals("Add/Update") {
   doTheAdd/UpdateProcessing();
else if ( formAction.equals("Rename") {
   doTheRenameProcessing();
else {
   doTheCancelProcessing();
}I hope this helps.

Multiple buttons on a single slide each connecting to a different url

Using a trial version of Captivate 7. I have a handful of slides where the customer wants to open different forms via url. I tried using a button for each link, inserting the url and using the "enter" key for each of the multiple buttons. Works fine with the mouse but for 508 folks who tab to the URL and hit the enter key ......... I get many instances where the incorrect url is activated. Is there a way around this without assicning a different shortcut key for buttons where thare are more than one on a single slide? Thanks

Welcome to AD!
Here is an article on using multiple ipods. I suggest method 1 and steer clear of method 3.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
For your point #1, sharing music on same PC between users, put it in a shared library & set permissions as directed here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
For #2, itunes doesn't have the capability to monitor folders for new content. You'll need to get something like the free program 'itunes folder watch'.

Multiple submit on single form

hi all,
My current system have 1 submit button with single form. This submit button will call file_content.upload.
htp.p('function on_submit() {');
htp.p('     ...the rest of my code here..');
htp.p('     document.forms[0].submit();');
htp.p('     return true;');
htp.p('}');
htp.p('<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="file_content.upload">');
htp.p('     ...the rest of my code here..');
htp.p('<input type="button" id="btn_Submit" value="Submit" onclick="on_submit()"></form>');My question is, i want to enhance this by adding additional 1 submit button with value "Save". But this new "Save" button will call/trigger different file. This new button will call file_content.update. How to accomplish this and how to differentiate these 2 button?
htp.p('<input type="button" id="btn_Submit" value="Submit" onclick="on_submit()">
          <input type="button" id="btn_Save" value="Save"></form>');Appreciate any help from you guys. Thanks

Handling multiple submits in single form with JSP

HI,
I need to handle multiple submits in single form in a JSP.
<html>
<body>
<form action="/Compute" method="post">
<input type = "Submit" value="Find"/>
<input type = "Submit" value="Add"/>
<input type = "Submit" value="Delete"/>
</form>
<body>
<html>
/Compute wld take the control to a servlet named ComputeController.java .
In this servlet how should I distinguish which Submit has been clicked(Find or add or Delete).
TIA

Give the submit button a name. It will be sent as well, so you can see it in the request variables.

Creating radio buttons in XML Forms Builder

Hi everyone,
I can't seem to find any instructions on how to create Radio Buttons in XML Forms builder, anyone has a link or instruction on how to?
Thanks,
Samer

Hi Samer,
So taking the example for the slides, you need first to create a new child under DataModel for the DataSchema. You can name it "Gender".
Click on the Radio Button in the Toolbar and drag "Gender" from the left hand site into the Edit Form.
It should have already a first radio button and in the box on the bottum right you should see the reference in the Schema Reference field (/DataShema/DataModel/Gender).
You can now drag a second button from the toolbar and place it behind the first one. Make sure you add the same value in the Schema Reference field.
On the Show form or RenderListItem you need a Control Selector as mentioned on slide 18. You can just use right mouse click -> Add. Go on the new item on the right hand side, and click on "Add Multiple Labels". You can choose now how many radio buttons you have, here 2.
In our example enter in one Label "Condition" = "true" and "Label" = "Male" and in the other "Condition" = "false" and "Label" = "Female".
Finally, make sure that the Control Selector has the Schema Reference also as defined above (/DataShema/DataModel/Gender).
Hope this helps,
Robert

How to use one pop up window for multiple buttons and input fields?

Hi Experts,
I have created a pop up window that will be opened from multiple buttons in the same view. There are input fields that the data will be populated from a pop up window. How can I set up which button that a pop up window is opened from? I also would like to populate the data from a pop up window to the input field next to a clicked button. There are 6 buttons and 6 input fields that share the same pop up window. I would very appreciate your responses.
Thank you,
Don

Hi,
Try creating 2 context attributes, one in your component controller and the other in the pop-up view. Bind the attribute of pop-up view to the component controller attribute.
In the main view, on click of every button set a unique code in the controller's context which helps you in identifying the button clicked. Since u have created a binding to the pop-up view attribute the value flows from the controller.
In the init method of your pop-up view, check the value of the attribute and based on that display which ever UI elements are required.
Eg:
On Button 1 click set value "B1", Button 2 value "B2" etc. In the init() of pop-up view u can check the values and perform the required operation:
if(("B1").wdContext().currentContextElement().getButtonIdentifier()){
else...{
Hope this helps you.

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement which is ,
on the ADOBE form after pressing some action Button i need to create a row of UI elements like Textbox label and Radio button with the values coming from Backend WDA application.
Number of rows created are equivalent to number of times button is clicked.
Also in some cases i have to preload the rows with the existing data.
Please let me know if this requirement can be accomplished in ADOBE form.
Any inputs ,Suggestion and help will be very helpful.
Thanks,

Thanks for the help,
I resolved this by creating elemnts in WD context on click of a button in ADOBE form,And in form i used the WD context structure as a table with required cell editors.
PDF form should be of type dynamic in this case.

How to use Ajax Get Multiple Values in Tabular form?

Hi All-
I am trying to use AJAX to get multiple values in tabular form by using Denes Kubicek's example in the following link -
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:239:9172467565606::NO:::
Basically, I want to use the drop down list to populate rest of the values on the form.
I have created the example(Ajax Get Multiple Values, application 54522) on Oracle site -
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4550:1:0:::::
Workspace: iConnect
login: demo
password: demo
I was able to duplicate his example on page 1 (home page).
However, I want to use system generate tabular form to finish this example, and was not able to populate the data correctly.
Page 2 (method 2) is the one that I am having trouble to populate the column values. When I checked application item values in Session, and the values seems to be populated correctly.
This is what I have done on this page:
1. Create an Application Process On Demand - Set_Multi_Items_Tabular2:
DECLARE
v_subject my_book_store.subject%TYPE;
v_price my_book_store.price%TYPE;
v_author my_book_store.author%TYPE;
v_qty NUMBER;
CURSOR cur_c
IS
SELECT subject, price, author, 1 qty
FROM my_book_store
WHERE book_id = :temporary_application_item2;
BEGIN
FOR c IN cur_c
LOOP
v_subject := c.subject;
v_price := c.price;
v_author := c.author;
v_qty := c.qty;
END LOOP;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f04_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_subject || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f05_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_price || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f06_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_author || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f07_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_qty || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
END;
2. Create two application items - TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2, T_ROWNUM2
3. Put the following in the Page Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_set_multi_items_tabular2(pValue, pRow){
    var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
'APPLICATION_PROCESS=Set_Multi_Items_Tabular2',0);
if(pValue){
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2',pValue)
get.add('T_ROWNUM2',pRow)
}else{
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2','null')
    gReturn = get.get('XML');
    if(gReturn){
        var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item").length;
        for(var i = 0;i<l_Count;i++){
            var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item")[i];
            var l_ID = l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('id');
            var l_El = html_GetElement(l_ID);
            if(l_Opt_Xml.firstChild){
                var l_Value = l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue;
            }else{
                var l_Value = '';
            if(l_El){
                if(l_El.tagName == 'INPUT'){
                    l_El.value = l_Value;
                }else if(l_El.tagName == 'SPAN' && l_El.className == 'grabber'){
                    l_El.parentNode.innerHTML = l_Value;
                    l_El.parentNode.id = l_ID;
                }else{
                    l_El.innerHTML = l_Value;
    get = null;
</script>
Add the follwing to the end of the above JavaScript:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setLOV(filter, list2)
var s = filter.id;
var item = s.substring(3,8);
var field2 = list2 + item;
f_set_multi_items_tabular2(filter, field2);
4. Tabular form query:
select
"BOOK_ID",
"BOOK",
"SUBJECT",
"PRICE",
"AUTHOR",
"QTY",
"BOOK_ID" BOOK_ID_DISPLAY
from "#OWNER#"."MY_BOOK_STORE"
5. In Book_ID_DISPLAY column attribute:
Add the following code to element attributes: onchange="javascript:f_set_multi_items_tabular2(this.value,'#ROWNUM#');"
Changed to -> onchange="javascript:setLOV(this,'f03');"
Now, T_ROWNUM2 returns value as f03_0001. But, TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2 returns as [object HTMLSelectElement]...
Please help me to see how I can populate the data with this tabular form format. Thanks a lot in advanced!!!
Ling
Updated code in Red..

Ling
Lets start with looking at what the javascript code is doing.
function f_set_multi_items_tabular(pValue, pRow){
/*This will initiate the url for the demand process to run*/
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
                          'APPLICATION_PROCESS=Set_Multi_Items_Tabular',0);
if(pValue){
    /*If there is an value than submit item name with value*/
    get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM',pValue)
    get.add('T_ROWNUM',pRow)
}else{
    /*Else set the item TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM to null*/
    get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM','null')
/*Submit the url and te returned document is of type XML*/
gReturn = get.get('XML');
if(gReturn){
    /*There is something returned*/
    var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item").length;
    /*For all elements of the tag item*/
    for(var i = 0;i<l_Count;i++){
      /*Get the item out of the XML*/
      var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item")[i];
      /*Get the id of the item*/
      var l_ID = l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('id');
      /*Get the element in the original page with the same id as
      **the item we have in the XML produced by the ondemand process
      var l_El = html_GetElement(l_ID);
      /*Now get the value of the item form the XML*/
      if(l_Opt_Xml.firstChild){
        var l_Value = l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue;
      }else{
        /*There is no value*/
        var l_Value = '';
      if(l_El){
        /*There is an element with the same id as the item we are processing*/
        if(l_El.tagName == 'INPUT'){
          /*The element is an input item just set the value*/
          l_El.value = l_Value;
        }else if(l_El.tagName == 'SPAN' && l_El.className == 'grabber'){
          /*If it is a span elment and has the class grabber
          **Then set the innerHTML of the parent to the value
          **and the id of the parent to the id
          l_El.parentNode.innerHTML = l_Value;
          l_El.parentNode.id = l_ID;
        }else{
          /*Else set the value as innerHTML*/
          l_El.innerHTML = l_Value;
get = null;
Now where it went wrong in your initial post
The XML that was returned by your XML process would be something like
<body>
<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>
<item id="f02_1">CSS Mastery</item>
<item id="f03_1">22</item>
<item id="f04_1">Andy Budd</item>
<item id="f05_1">1</item>
</body>
When you don't use apex_item to create your tabular form a item in the table will look like
<input id="f02_0001" type="text" value="CSS Mastery" maxlength="2000" size="16" name="f05" autocomplete="off">
Notice the id's f02_1 and f02_0001 don't match.
So to make it work the XML would have to look like
<body>
<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>
<item id="f02_0001">CSS Mastery</item>
<item id="f03_0001">22</item>
<item id="f04_0001">Andy Budd</item>
<item id="f05_0001">1</item>
</body>
To do that simply use lpad in the ondemand process like
HTP.prn ('<item id="f02_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_subject || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f03_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_price || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f04_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_author || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f05_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_qty || '</item>');
Keep in mind that the above is based on your original post and #ROWNUM# not being lpadded with zero's.

Button Text on Form not Displaying

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, and I have added a button to reset the form fields. The button has some text on top, but the text on the button does not display until I click down on the button in the preview pane. How can I make the button text visible always? Thanks in advance for your support..
I'm having the same problem with the submit button on a form in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. No matter what I do, the button text does not display. Any ideas?

What font are you using? What is the font color set to? What font size? Can you post a sample somewhere?
You specify the label text for a button using the Options tab of the Button Properties dialog. Describe each of the settings on this page. In particular, you can have a different label for the Up, Down, and Rollover states.

Adding data to multiple tables using one form in Access 2010?

Hi All,
I have a access database with two tables and I want to create a single form to enter data into that tables.
How to adding data to multiple tables using one form in Access 2010?
I don't have to much knowledge of access database?
Please help me
Thanks
Balaji

You really don't enter identical data into 2 tables. You enter dat into one single table, and then you have an unique identifier that maps to another table (you have a unique relationship between two tables).
Maybe you need to read this.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/access-help/database-design-basics-HA001224247.aspx
Think about it this way... What is you update data in 2 tables, and then the data in one of those tables changes, but the data in the other table does NOT change. WHOOPS!! Now, you've got a BIG problem. For instance, you have a customer
named Bill Gates. In one Table you update Bill's address to 1835 73rd Ave NE, Medina, WA 98039 and in the other table you accidentally update Bill's address to 183 73rd Ave NE, Medina, WA 98039. Now you have 2 addresses for Bill. Why would
you want that??? Which is right? No one knows. If you have one address, you just have to update one address and if there is a mistake, you just have to update one address, but you don't have to waste time trying to figure out which is right
and which is wong...and then update the one that is wrong.
Post back with specific questions.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

How do I create a submit button for my form? I would like it to send the completed PDF to an email address

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded to Adobe XI and I can't find a "submit by email" button for my form. I created a button and tried to set up some actions but, I can only get the button to direct the user to a URL. How do I make it send the completed PDF to our designated company email address? I'm not too familiar with JAVASCRIPTS so I haven't tried that plus I heard it may not work with users with adobe reader.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the input. I think you might have a different version of LiveCycle than the copy I have since it looks a little different. However, I found the answer in Adobe help. I had to type "mailto:" before the email address to indicate it's an email and not a URL. See below.
To collect form data as attachments to email, type mailto: followed by the email address. For example, mailto:[email protected]

Oracle Apps Sys Admin -- Disabling a button on a form

Hi Guys,
I want to disable a button on a form in oracle applications. Normally, i disable a button by goin to that MENU, SUBMENU(if there are any) and take the button's sub-function and add it in FUNCTION and MENU Exclusions in the reponsibility define form.
But in some forms in Oracle Inventory, i have a NEW button and am not able to find a sub-function for that. NEW and OPEN , two buttons are there . How can i disable or make that button vanish from that form. I know that it can be done thru CUSTOM.pll but without custom.pll , is there a way using this sub-functions or watever.
help appreciated.
Thanks

Yes I know about form personalization, however I still couldn't hide 2 buttons. Open vision database, under purchasing superuser > requisition summary, if you click the Find button it will open Requisition Header Summary window. In that window there are New and Open button. Now, I couldn't hide those 2 buttons cause I couldn't found the name in Item. What's the name of those 2 buttons? Thanks.

Trying to makea report run when clicking a button on a form

I am trying to run a report by clicking a button on a form (Forms 9i)
I have modified the registry settings for FORMS90_PATH and REPORTS_PATH to include my development directory, and now at last the report is generating. However the command to display the form in a window is not doing anything at all - no error even. Can someone please help, the trigger code for my button is displayed below:
DECLARE
     rep_result VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('INVENTORY_REPORT', REPORT_FILENAME, :GLOBAL.project_path || 'Inventory.rdf');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('INVENTORY_REPORT', REPORT_DESNAME, :GLOBAL.project_path || 'Inventory.htm');
     rep_result := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT('INVENTORY_REPORT');
     --MESSAGE('Rep result: ' || rep_result);
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('file:///' || :GLOBAL.project_path || 'Inventory.htm', '_blank');
     --WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('file:///C:\Temp\Dev\Inventory.htm', '_blank');
END;
thx
adam

Hi,
may be this could be helpful for you:
You have to include the following code to execute a report:
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status Varchar2(20);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object(report_name);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,report_server_name);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
if rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');
else
error report not exists
end if;
END;
Also you have to create the report server with the command:
"rwserver - install service_name autostart=yes
report server name must be the same that appears in the code above
You must add the report to run in the REPORT object type in your .fmb and put there with the same name
The report server to install ought to be the one and only in you network to avoid mistakes...
