Multiple Selects on Form

Several questions about multiple selects on Forms.
I want to create a form with a multiple select list. I know I can do this if I based the form off a table, correct? I mean, I try but the form does not allow me to put multiple selects on a form based off a table
So what I did was create a procedure that has a parameter of type owa_text.vc_arr, but the form freaks out. It just hangs at "Retrieving Form Data".
So, what gives? Can I use multiple select lists on forms? If not, why have them in Portal?
Rich

Hi Richard,
In Portal it's not possible to create a form with a multiselect.
Oracle has remove this feature from Webdb. Don't ask me why.
The Multiselect is now only available for the parameter forms or reports. You can use them in a where clause like WHERE DEPTNO in :v_dept.

Multiple select multipart/form-data + FileUploader

Hi
I'm using asp multiple select form field with
multipart/form-data +
FileUploader to upload a file (works fine) and writing the
contents of
a form to a database which works fine apart from the multiple
select
which although allows me to select multiple items only
returns the
first selected item to the database.
Anywork arounds to this??
Thanks in advance!!

There's nothing more dangerous than a resourceful idiot

Multi-part requests are not packaged the same as regular requests, so the getParameter() method doesn't work on it (although I think it would get anything passed through the query string as part of the action parameter but I'm not sure).
You can also try the com.oreilly.servlet class MultipartRequest. I don't know if that's the same one found in the www.servlets.com link, but it is REALLY easy. Essentially, it looks like this:
MultipartRequest mr = new MultipartRequest(request, "[pathtosavefiles]'");
String param = mr.getParameter("paramname");
So instead of calling getParameter() on the request object, you now instead call it on the MultipartRequest object. When you instantiate the MultipartRequest object, it parses the request body for you, and also saves any uploaded files into the directory you specified in your path in the constructor.
I hope that helps.

Get all the values from a multiple select in a multipart form

Hi there!
I am using a form with enctype="multipart/form-data" in order to upload files from the form.
I have read this page: http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/using.html and everything works well for my form.
The only problem is that I can't get all the values from a "multiple select" html object. I get only one value.
Using servlets I have used this method:
public java.lang.String[] getParameterValues(java.lang.String name) But now I have enctype="multipart/form-data" in my form and I can't use this way...
Is there a way to get all the values of a multi-valued parameter?
Thanks a lot!
Stefano

Multiple Select boxes in one form

Does anyone know if it is possible to have multiple select
boxes inside one form? I have six different select boxes that are
generated by six separate queries. The action page for all six
select boxes is the same so I just want one submit button so users
don't get confuse. I don't want to cluster up the page with submit
buttons but I may resort to that option.
My problem is the select boxes generate a number and when
that number is submitted I want to pass two other variables with it
to the action page. I tried putting a "Form" tag around the 6
select boxes. Inside each select box I tried to add an "Input
type="hidden"" and give thte name and values that I needed. That
worked for the first select box but when I tried the second select
box it used the hidden values for the first select box.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you
have any other suggestions I am open to any.
Thanks

Paross1,
I wasn't thinking about that and you gave me a great idea.
Here is how I changed my select boxes.
<cfform
action="Resolution_History.cfm?year=#year#&sessiontype=#sessiontype#&btype=res"
name="form">
<select name="SRINPUT">
<option value="">SR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="HRINPUT">
<option value="">HR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="SCRINPUT">
<option value="">SCR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSCR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<br>
<select name="HCRINPUT">
<option value="">HCR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHCR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="SJRINPUT">
<option value="">SJR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSJR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="HJRINPUT">
<option value="">HJR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHJR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Submit" alt="submit
button">
</cfform>
On the action page I need the below IF statement to work so
it will set the variables. It isn't working at this time. Its not
bringing the values of billnumber, houseorig or the billtype.
Do you have any thoughts? I know it is close. I need to set
all of the inputs to input4 to generate my queries.
<cfif form.srinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "s">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset srinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.hrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "h">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset hrinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.scrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "sc">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset scrinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.hcrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "hc">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset hcrinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.sjrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "sj">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset sjrinput eq input4>
<cfelse>
<cfset houseorig eq "hj">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset hjrinput eq input4>
</cfif>

How to submit a multiple-selection list box in an Infopath Sharepoint form as multiple entries on a Sharepoint list?

I would like to be able to submit an Infopath form with a multiple selection list box in Sharepoint as multiple entries on a Sharepoint list.
For example, a user has to complete the following fields:
First Name:
Last Name:
Favorite Color (can select more than one):
[] Blue
[] Red
[] Yellow
[] Green
If the user picks blue AND red and submits the form, the Sharepoint list would feature TWO entries, both with their first and last names, but with different colors in the "Favorite Color" column.
Please let me know if there is a way to do this. Any guidance would be helpful!

Hi redhotc,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set multiple default values for a multiple checkbox list in InfoPath form.
I did a test with SQL database table. I set three default values for the checkbox list by adding three values field under the group field(Data->Default values), each value field is for a default value. Then publish it to my SharePoint site, everything
was fine.Please have a try as the below link:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/pre-select-items-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath-2010.htm
Note: if you are using SQL databse table, you may need to enable ‘Allow cross-domain data access for user form templates that use connection settings in a data connection file’ in CA. More information, please refer to:
http://answers.flyppdevportal.com/categories/sharepoint2010/sharepoint2010customization.aspx?ID=418b9423-a96c-4e5e-91f9-6a1b010ebb69
I hope this helps.

Multiple selections in an HTML form

The option selector (<select>...</select>) in an HTML form allows the
user to make multiple selections. However, when the form parameters
are posted to an XSQL page, only the first value selected will be
assigned to the corresponding XSQL parameter.
This is very unfortunate, because I would like the selected values to
be used in a query like this:
<xsql:query>
select ...
from ...
where ...
and elem in ({@list})
and ...
</xsql:query>
where 'list' is the name of the option selector. However, since only
the first value selected is substituted, the query does not work.
The <xsql:include-request-params/> will "rowify" the values selected,
but this can only be utilized by a style sheet associated with the
XSQL page.
Does anyone know how to get access to all the selected values in the
XSQL page?
HELP!

Hi,
Here is an approach that may work for you.
In the registration process, assign each individual a userid... e.g. bob123.
When they log into your site, create a SESSION variable, SESSION.userid = bob123.
In your db, for every player have two fields, one is the userid of the person that is attached to that player, and another field for the jersey number. You could also have a field for assigned/unassigned.
Populate the grid with the unassigned players. Have the empty jersey number field on the grid and make it editable. When an individual assigns a jersey number to the person, (you can have them update after each person selected or at the end), you can let a cfc update the db and using their SESSION.userid, they become the "owner" of that player. The update also will update the db with their jersey number. The update can also turn them from unassigned to assigned so noone else can "claim" them.
Now anytime the user logs in, they'll have their players, easy to get to using a WHERE sql statement = WHERE SESSION.userid = bob123.

Listbox with multiple selection in interactive forms

Hello experts.
I'd like to use a listbox in my form with enabled multiple selection.
The form is part of a WebDynpro ABAP Application.
Reading the context to get the content of the form fields works fine as long as I don't use a list box where
multiple selection is enabled.
When I use the box I only get the values of all other fields, but not the selected values of the box.
My context node for the pdf looks like this:
- *Node for PDF* (Cardinality 1..1; Selection 0..1)
-- Attribute 1
-- Attribute2
-- Node for Listbox (Cardinality 0..n; Selection 0..n)
--- Attribute for Listbox
Please help!
Regards
Frank

Checked some items of multiple-selection list box when form loaded in infopath

Hi
I customize sharepoint list with infopath. I have multiple-selection list box and want to checked some items of that automatically when form loaded. how can do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to pre-select some items in the Multiple-Selection List Box.
I recommend to follow the steps below to achieve this goal:
Click Default Values under Data tab in InfoPath, expand the dataFields and navigate to the Multiple-Selection List Box field.
Set the Default Value of the Multiple-Selection List Box field.
Right click the field under the Multiple-Selection List Box group, then select Add another Value Below and set the Default Value for this field.
Repeat step3 based on the number of the items that you want to be pre-selected.

FORM MULTIPLE SELECT JAVASCRIPT

Some folks have posted that Javascript could be used to provide a multiple-select option on a form element (users can select multiple values, which are processed into one csv string by Javascript and sent back to the appropriate column in a table)
If you know how to do this, could you please post, step by step, how this could be accomplished. Say for a case where an employee in EMP could work in multiple departments, the DEPTNO value was a varchar and the form would enable something like 10,20,40 to be entered into the DEPTNO column via a multiple select
I'm using 3.09

I would also be interested in this. I've already done it the hard way...(actually it wasn't too bad after all) by writing my own function to parse the list of values and then validate them one at a time. It would be nice to be able to pick them from a list...

Process multiple select form element in JSTL

I am trying to retrieve the values from a multiple select dropdown. From searching the forums, I now know that I need to use getParameterValues instead of getParameter in JSP. However, how would like to do this in JSTL with the core tags? Here is the code I now have (but it only prints the first element selected from the multiple select.
    <c:forEach var="map_entry" items="${param}">
      <strong><c:out value="${map_entry.key}"/></strong>
      <c:out value="${map_entry.value}"/><br />
      <c:forEach var='stuff' items='${map_entry.value}'>
        <c:out value='${stuff}'/><br /><br />
      </c:forEach>
    </c:forEach>Notice the second foreach loop doesn't work (it only prints the first value). Any ideas? Thanks!

use something like this:
<c:forEach var="elem" items="${paramValues.multipleSelect}">
<c:out value="${elem}"></c:out>
</c:forEach>
the key is "paramValues" instead of "param"

Struts: getting multiple selected values from a select element

Hi Friends,
I am a total newbie with struts,I have manage to run a simple login script,
Now I was wonderingif there is a select box and user has the ability to select multiple values from it how do I get those values in the *Form class
my select tag looks like this
<html:select property="listboxValue" mulitple="mulitple">
...options--
</html:select>
in the ****Form extends ActionForm{....I have setter and getters for getting the value from select box as below
public void setListboxValue(String value){
this.listboxValue = value;
and the getter is
public String getListboxValue(){
return this.listboxValue ;
please never mind the missing brackets and such.
What I was hoping to get to work was something like this
public void setListboxValue(String[] value){
this.listboxValue = value;
but that does not work...If I have the an array being passed,it seems like this method is no even envoked
Please guide me
Thanks

I'm having trouble to get in the ActionForm all the selected values in my multiple select. I select all the values by setting to true the selected attribute of all the options in a javascript function. In the ActionForm the variable is String[]. I'm not getting any ClassCastException, but I only receive the first value selected (String array with just one element).
Select definition:
<html:select name="detalleConsultaForm" property="destinatarios" multiple="true" size="8" >
Javascript function:
function validalistarelacion(campo)
{ if (campo.length < 1)
alert("Campo sin valores");
campo.select();
return false;
for (var i = 0; i < campo.length; i++)
campo.options.selected = true;
return true;
ActionForm:
String[] destinatarios;
public String[] getDestinatarios() {
return destinatarios;
public void setDestinatarios(String[] destinatarios) {
this.destinatarios = destinatarios;
What I get:

RE: Getting multiple values from more than one multiple select popup window

I have a button on a JSP of mine that when clicked creates a popup window (right now it is called popup.html) with a multiple select menu.
My question is how do I get all the values selected from the menu into my JSP (sample.jsp) so that I can set each of the values for my bean.
The other problem is that I have more than one select multiple menu.
Please help if you can. Any advice or suggestions here would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

I realize that I can use request.getParameterValues to get the values selected from my html because I am passing them to the hidden inputs I have and then using the request.getParameterValues to get each of the values.
MY PROBLEM IS WHAT IF I HAVE 4 MULTIPLE SELECTS??? How can I use the same html popup menu to get the values from the 4 different multiple selects????
I look forward to your response.
This code is from my JSP:
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Field1" SIZE="15">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="F1Rad1">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="Permission">
<input type=button name=choice onClick="window.open('optionPicker.html','popuppage','width=250,height=100');" value="Options"></TD>
Here is my optionPicker.html code for the pop up menu:
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function sendValue(s)
var boxSize= s.options[0].value;
var restrict = s.options[1].value;
window.opener.document.addNewForm.F1Rad1.value = boxSize;
window.opener.document.addNewForm.Permission.value = restrict;
window.close();

Multiple select options in 1 drop down box?

Hi,
I have created a form that works perfectly except for the fact that I need to provide multiple select options in the 1 drop down box; for example, I'm asking what product the customer is interested in and his answer could be multiple items such as Soap, Sanitizer, Hand Towels, Face Cloths etc...
At the moment, the customer can only select 1 item not multiple.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
It is not possible to allow the user to select multiple items in a dropdown list.
You could use a list box, which does allow multiple selections.
Good luck,

How can i do this ?
Thanks
Edited by: Vedant on Apr 25, 2012 11:14 PM

Short answer, use the apex_util.string_to_table to convert to a table; then you can either iterate through the table to generate a string of names, or accomplish the same with a bulk operation.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_util.htm#CHDFEEJD
Encapsulate all this within a pl/sql function.

How can I have multiple-selection list box "select at least one checkbox" option active only when the section it's in is visible?

Hi, I'm using SP13 and InfoPath2013.
I created a custom form and published it to SP13 document library. This form has many MSLB. Depending on the checkboxes selected in the 1st MSLB, the other MSLB will either hide or show. Each MSLB is in its own section. The requirement
is to have each MSLB to have at least one checkbox selected. Well, the problem is that when that MSLB isnot checked in the 1st MSLB it is not visible and shouldn't require any checkbox to be selected. However, the form can't get submitted instead
an error dialog would pop up and ask user to make a selection for MSLB that is not even displayed. Is there any way to fix this besides unchecking all MSLB to be not required at least one selection? Thank you.

Eric,
I follow your reply post here and still doesn't work. I also noticed your screen shot of selecting a field is not the same as what I see in InfoPath 2013.
Here is what I did,
1.Check At least one selection required for
these Multiple-selection List Boxes
as you want .
2.Create a Formatting rule for the 2nd
Multiple-selection List Box.
3.Add a Condition as below:
4. I get a validation error if I don't
select at least one checkbox in the hidden MSLB control when submitting.
I think I'm following all the steps correctly
but please let me know if I'm not.
