Page leve validation

I have what I thought was a simple validation but it does not seem to be working. I have the following set as a page level validation, p/sql expression:
:P2_ITEM_COLOR iis null AND :P2_ITEM_DESC is null
Is seems to always be true however, even if I have selected both P2_ITEM_COLOR and P2_ITEM_DESC . These are both drop down lists. Thoughts?

I think perhaps you are getting the concept of this particular validation back to front. The validation only throws an error if the result validation is false, therefore if your validation is returning true for both being null, then naturally its not going to fail.
You need to make the expression return false i.e. (in pseudocode)
NOT (:P2_ITEM_COLOR is null and :P2_ITEM_DESC is null)or alternatively:
(:P2_ITEM_COLOR is not null) OR (:P2_ITEM_DESC is not null)Edited by: JoelC on 11-May-2010 15:51

  • Page item validation does not get removed

    Hi All,
         I had a page item validation defined on the page and later removed by deleting the validation in the 'page processing' in Application Builder. However, the validation still seems to execute at runtime. Can anyone tell me if it needs to be deleted from some other place as well.
    Thanks

    What is the validation? What version are you in?
    There are some item validations that execute automatically based on settings like 'Required'.
    Date pickers has other attributes that can declaratively validate range.

  • Page level validation to prevent duplicate data entry into the database

    Hello,
    Can anyone please help me out with this issue.
    I have a form with two items based on a table. I already have an item level validation to check for null. Now I would like to create a page level validation to check that duplicate data are not entered into the database. I would like to check the database when the user clicks on ‘Create’ button to ensure they are not inserting duplicate record. If data already exist, then show the error message and redirect them to another page. I am using apex 3.2
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Have you tried writing a PLSQL function to check this?
    I haven't tested this specifically, but something like this should work:
    1) Create a Page Level Validation
    2) Choose PLSQL for the method
    3) Choose Function Returning Boolean for the Type
    For the validation code, you could do something like this:
    DECLARE
        v_cnt number;
    BEGIN
        select count(*)
        into v_cnt
        from
        your_table
        where
        col1 = :P1_field1 AND
        col2 = :P2_field2;
        if v_cnt > 0 then return false;
        else return true;
        end if;
    END;If the query returns false, then your error message will be displayed.
    Not sure how you would go about redirecting after this page though. Maybe just allow the user to try again with another value (in case they made a mistake) or just press a 'cancel' button to finish trying to create a new record.

    Hi,
    From the APEX help:
    * Item level validations are specific to a single item.
    * Page level validations do not apply to any single item, but apply to an entire page.

  • How to implement a page level validation !!

    Hello ,
    I want to implement page level validation.
    thanks
    Edited by: kumar73 on Apr 21, 2010 1:41 PM

    Should be pretty easy - your condition would probably just be the click of the button (button name) or the request value sent by the button (SUBMIT?) You can do a function returning boolean as the type
    The code would be something like:
    begin
      if :P1_SHUTTLE is not null or
      :P1_SHUTTLE2 is not null or
      :P1_SHUTTLE3 is not null or
      :P1_SHUTTLE4 is not null or
      :P1_SHUTTLE5 is not null then
        return(true);
      else
        return(false);
      end if;
    end;

  • Apexlib page item validation not shown correctly

    Good morning guys! I have a question concerning the Apexlib page item validations.
    Basically I just want to validate page item values and have errors displayed in a notification region on the very same page on submit.
    I set up the Apexlib, which works perfectly for reports. However, when it comes to the page item validations, I am always rerouted to the Oracle Error page.
    Do you know why or have you experienced similar problems?
    Here is a part of the debug code when the error page is initialized.
    Processing point: ON_SUBMIT_BEFORE_COMPUTATION
    0.03: ...Process "ApplyMRU": MULTI_ROW_UPDATE (ON_SUBMIT_BEFORE_COMPUTATION) #OWNER#:VT_TBL_TOTHOLZ:CNT_TOTHOLZ

    0.06: Show ERROR page...
    If you have an idea please be so kind as to let me know!
    Many thanks,

    Hi Peter!
    Thanks for having a look!
    I am using Apex 3.2 and Apexlib 1.6!
    Like I said, the report validations are functioning properly! It's just the error message is not displayed on the same page in a notification field. Instead the user is redirected to the original Apex Error Page when the error is caught.
    What validation do I want to carry out?
    I tried to verify the input of a text box with $APEXLIB_MAX_VALUE=10$.
    I thought it might be a minor problem, which I couldn't find. Already checked the installation of Apexlib twice. Seems to be alright.
    Best regards,

  • Recommended practice for handling page level validation?

    I'm wondering what the recommended practice is for handling what I would call "page level validation?"
    For example, I have two text boxes. Either one text box or the other must have a non-null value. If they are both null, I want the page validation to fail and redisplay the page the same way it would if validation for a particular field failed. However, I don't want the message that is posted to be associated with either of the two text boxes. I want it to use some other unique ID because I want to display the error text at a location that is different than for either of the text box error messages.

    The reason I don't want to use a custom converter is because I'm using a custom tag/renderer which aggregates several HTML input components and has complex conversion logic. Maybe I could chain things together, but, a converter should be used for conversion not validation. Secondly, I don't understand why validation occurs after conversion. This seems backward to me.
    One hack that I tried which almost worked was to create a custom tag/rendererer that was an input component, but, had no visible UI. I made that component always have a value which caused the validator to always be called. I made it so that it accepted a method binding as an input so that you could specify which validation method was called. I checked the component values for the components of interest using UIInput.getValue(). However, I ran into what might be a bug. Everything worked fine as long as the value changed to a non-null value. When the value was set to null, UIInput.getValue() was returning the old value instead of null. The strange thing is that the bean property that the component was bound to, ultimately was changed to null as I would have expected to. The problem was that UIInput.getValue() was returning the old value instead of null.
    My current solution which isn't ideal is by using code similar to the following in my action method that my form submit button calls.
    if(value1 == null && value2 == null) {
    String message = "Validation Error: Value is required.";
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    context.addMessage("id1", new FacesMessage(message, message));
    return "validationError";
    Note, I had to create my own custom tag/renderer equivalent of h:message because I couldn't get h:message to work. h:message couldn't find the message that I posted.
    The down side to doing it this way is that the validation is occurring after the validation phase. Hence, the error message isn't displayed at the same time as other error messages. Furthermore, if you have more than one button on the form, you'd have to do the check for each action method.
    This is really stupid. I can't believe something that should be so simple is so difficult in JSF. I'm planning on taking a closer look at ASP.NET. I'm pretty sure all you have to do in ASP.NET is override a method to do this and you have access to all the form controls as variables within the Page object. i.e. no having to lookup the controls using a method and a client ID.

  • Page item validation

    I created a page in APEX Express 4.2.3.00.08.  On the page there are two items: a text field named P55_KEY_ID and an LOV named P55_REASON with the values LOST, BROKEN, OTHER.  I created a dynamic action that enables P55_REASON when P55_KEY_ID changes. Our business rule is if P55_KEY_ID has been changed then P55_REASON must have a value, i.e. not null.  Can I define a validation on P55_REASON  with a condition to test the disabled property of the page item with javascript, if it is disabled then return false otherwise true.  Where would I place the following javascript?
    IF $x(‘P55_REASON’).disabled then
      Return  false;
    Else
    Return true;
    End if;

  • Item & page level validation

    1. How do I check/see if a validation rule is page level or item level, I couldn't find any difference in the definitions between the two as seen on the definition screens in APEX.
    2. (Could be related to 1.) I expected the validation rule 'Item in Expression1 contains at least one of the characters in Expression2' to imply that Expression1 can not be NULL. I had to create a separate IS NOT NULL validation rule however. To me that does not make sense or is there a reasonable explanation?
    tia,
    Martin

    Martin,
    As Tony said, there is no difference between page and item validations other than the ability for item validations to have error messages positioned right next to their label.
    As for the null value problem, the following "item comparison" -type validations do not produce a validation error if the specified item is null:
    * Item specified contains no spaces
    * Item specified is a valid date
    * Item in Expression 1 contains only characters in Expression 2
    * Item in Expression 1 contains at least one of the characters in Expression 2
    * Item in Expression 1 does not contain any of the characters in Expression 2
    This allows you to account for the null value case with a separate "not null" validation. Without this behavior there would have to be a "Item in Expression 1 is NULL OR <remainder of validation>" -type validation in addition to each of the above validation types.
    However, the following validation types do result in a validation failure if the item is null:
    * Item in Expression 1 equals string literal in Expression 2
    * Item in Expression 1 is contained in Expression 2
    This behavior appears to be an oversight, also spelled bug.

  • Page not valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional?

    Okay,
    So I've been having problems (go fig) with my page displaying properly in the Firefox browser on my account. My site displays fine on my account in Safari. If I switch accounts, the site will display better (not perfectly) in Firefox. On my windows machine, my site displays fine in all three of my browsers, IE, Firefox, and Safari.
    Here is a link to my site: kevin morehouse
    The page that displays incorrectly is the "About Us" page.
    I went to the Mozilla website and found a link to http://validator.w3.org/
    This is what came back when I ran my URL
    Validation Output: 4 Errors

    …0" marginwidth="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
    ✉
    You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
    This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
    How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.

    ✉
    An entity reference was found in the document, but there is no reference by that name defined. Often this is caused by misspelling the reference name, unencoded ampersands, or by leaving off the trailing semicolon (;). The most common cause of this error is unencoded ampersands in URLs as described by the WDG in "Ampersands in URLs".
    Entity references start with an ampersand (&) and end with a semicolon (;). If you want to use a literal ampersand in your document you must encode it as "&" (even inside URLs!). Be careful to end entity references with a semicolon or your entity reference may get interpreted in connection with the following text. Also keep in mind that named entity references are case-sensitive; &Aelig; and æ are different characters.
    If this error appears in some markup generated by PHP's session handling code, this article has explanations and solutions to your problem.
    Note that in most documents, errors related to entity references will trigger up to 5 separate messages from the Validator. Usually these will all disappear when the original problem is fixed.

    …7-B031088E2D79?webdav-method=propget&counter"></script><

    This is usually a cascading error caused by a an undefined entity reference or use of an unencoded ampersand (&) in an URL or body text. See the previous message for further details.
    Line 255, Column 267: reference not terminated by REFC delimiter.
    …88E2D79?webdav-method=propget&counter"></script><img src
    ✉
    If you meant to include an entity that starts with "&", then you should terminate it with ";". Another reason for this error message is that you inadvertently created an entity by failing to escape an "&" character just before this text.
    Line 255, Column 267: reference to external entity in attribute value.
    …88E2D79?webdav-method=propget&counter"></script><img src

    This is generally the sign of an ampersand that was not properly escaped for inclusion in an attribute, in a href for example. You will need to escape all instances of '&' into '&'.

    I am VERY concerned with the fact that my pages are not being properly validated and displayed.
    I have created two different sites using iWeb '08 and while I am satisfied with the ease of use, I am concerned that my sites are not being displayed correctly... in fact, the other day my friend who is a Mac whiz and who hosts my business website on his server... tried to visit the site that I created using iWeb '08 and had published to my .Mac account... it caused his browser to flat out crash! He said he hasn't seen anything like that in years!
    Here is the site I have begun to build http://www.mcleanmonowheel.com
    If you paste this url into http://validator.w3.org/ a slew of errors pop up.
    Is this the norm with iWeb or have I done something wrong on my end???

  • Losing data on a tabular form when submitting a page with validation errors

    I have a window that has a regular HTML form at the top that has several items. Then on the bottom of the page, I have a tabular form where the user can enter multiple rows of information. Unfortunately, when the page is submitted, if there are any validation errors, any changes that were made in the tabular form are lost.
    Any suggestions

    Fair enough :)
    Actually what I was meaning was could I use a collection to repopulate the tabular form when I receive errors. It appears as if it may work. However, I am hitting one snag.
    I have created a PL/SQL Process that runs On Submit and Before Computations/Validations. In this process, I have saving the values in the tabular form to a collection.
    I was then hoping to create another process that ran after any errors occur. However, it does not appear as if any processes run when the screen redraws after a validation issue. Is there a process that runs after validations when the screen is redrawing? Will I need to do this using javascript?
    Thanks

  • Question on HTMLB page form Validation

    Hi Group,
    How to validate a HTMLB page?
    Like suppose, I have a few input fields and I hope we can go with using a Java Script in it to validate the form. But, how to do validate?
    Please let me know how to valid some input fields in HTMLB page?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vishnu.

    ok what you are asking is,
    if the check is successfull the form should get submitted and else it should not get submitted and stay on the same page.
    define the htmlb:button with both onclientclick and onclick.
    in on clientclick add your js.
    in that js, if the check fails add the following line
    htmlbevent.cancelSubmit = true;
    sample code.
    onClientClick = "var Check = false; Check = confirm('k2?');if(Check == false){ htmlbevent.cancelSubmit = true; }"

  • Autosubmitted page causing validation issues

    Hi,
    I have a task flow ( which is used in webcenter portal ) with 3 pages.
    |--> page1 -------> page2 ---------> page3 ------------------|
    | |
    | |
    | ----------------Back to page1---------------------------------- |
    Page1 has few validations.
    Things work fine when i navigate Page1 to page2 to Page3.
    But when i return to page1 from page3.... validations are getting fired before i submit the page.( Seems it is getting AutoSubmitted)
    Not sure why it is getting autosubmitted. Is it the behaviour of Webcenter portals.
    Thanks,
    CM

    What happens when you use the taskflow in a normal ADF application. So don't use it as a portlet? Do the validations trigger when you navigate from page3 to 1 or not? If they do, then their is something wrong with your taskflow and not with the portletBridge.
    If the behaviour is correct than i suggest you create an SR with oracle becuase then it is a bug becuase normaly the behaviour shouldn't change when converting to portlet.
