Pre-populate select box causing query error

Referring to this thread
http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:56335#305025
I wanted to pass a value to a dynamic select box (in a url),
so I changed this:
<option value="'#SITEID#'" selected=#sid#>
to this:
<option value="#SITEID#"<cfif SITEID EQ sid>
selected="selected"</cfif>>
and now get "Error Executing Database Query...... Too few
parameters. Expected 1."
The query:
SELECT <CFLOOP list="#form.parameters#"
index="i">sitedata.#i#,</CFLOOP>
site.coordinates_n, site.coordinates_w,
sitedata.monitordate, site.name,
site.siteid
FROM site INNER JOIN sitedata
ON site.siteid = sitedata.siteid
WHERE sitedata.SITEID IS NOT NULL
<CFIF form.siteid gt "">AND sitedata.SITEID in
(#PreserveSingleQuotes(form.siteid)#)</CFIF>
<CFIF startdate gt "" AND enddate gt "">AND
sitedata.monitordate >=
#startdate# and sitedata.monitordate <=
#enddate#</CFIF>
<CFIF startdate gt "" AND enddate is "">AND
sitedata.monitordate >=
#startdate#</CFIF>
ORDER BY sitedata.monitordate, sitedata.siteid
I admit I'm not a CF or SQL expert! I'm guessing it has
something to do
with the cfloop. Hoping this is something simple I've
overlooked...
TIA

CFQUERYPARAM caught the following attempt at SQL Injection.
Would someone please explain what they were trying to do?
best, paul

How to populate select boxes in custom work flows?

We are trying to create a workflow that allows users to select a few item details from a select box inside the form. I created the select box but I can't figure out how to populate it with elements. I've been reluctant to post here because this question seems so straight forward but I haven't been able to find the answer and don't want waste more time searching for this answer. Please help!
Thanks,
Richard

Sorry for the trouble, I found the answer. I was looking in all the wrong places. Thanks anyway!

Dynamic SELECT statement causing CX_SY_DYNAMIC_OSQL_SEMANTICS error.

Hello Gurus,
We have a dynamic SELECT statement in our BW Update Rules where the the Selection Fields are populated at run-time and so are the look-up target and also the WHERE clause. The code basically looks like below:
          SELECT (lt_select_flds)
            FROM (lf_tab_name)
            INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <lt_data_tab>
            FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <lt_source_data>
            WHERE (lf_where).
In this instance, we are selecting 5 fields from Customer Master Data and the WHERE condition for this instance of the run is as below:
WHERE: DIVISION = <lt_source_data>-DIVISION AND DISTR_CHAN = <lt_source_data>-DISTR_CHAN AND SALESORG = <lt_source_data>-SALESORG AND CUST_SALES = <lt_source_data>-SOLD_TO AND OBJVERS = 'A'
This code was working fine till yesterday when we encountered serious performance problems and the Basis team had to do some changes at the DB level [Oracle]. Ever since, when we execute our data load, we get the CX_SY_DYNAMIC_OSQL_SEMANTICS.
Is setting changes at the Oracle level cause issues with how the data is being read at the DB. If yes, can you suggest what can we do to this code to get is working correctly [in case Basis can't revert back their changes]?
Would appreciate any help we can get here.

You don't understand - this error comes up when we run specific BEx queries. It was working yesterday, but today it is not. Our support package did not change from yesterday. We did not apply any OSSnotes.
We are however doing pre-prepare on our Prod system.
The temporary table is used to store SIDs for use in the join. the table exists in the dictionary, but not at an Oracle level.

The SSO works correctly on Analysis for OLAP.
The Authentication used is the SAP authentication.
Thanks.
Andrea

That's what we're doing in our 4.1 instance as well.
After a lot of troubleshooting, it looks like our problem is related to the SSO set up itself. We set the OLAP Connection to Pre-defined, entered the SAP credentials of one of our developers, then saved the connection. We were able to refresh existing reports and create new reports without any issues. We changed the OLAP connection back to SSO and received the same error message as in OP when we tried to select a BEx query.
I'm going to go through the entire SSO set up again. There was a BW hotfix applied throughout our environments, thinking it might have messed something up.

To do that you have to get your recordset, and insert option tags into a while cicle. Something like this:
<select name="mySelectName">
<%while(myRecordSet.next()){%>
<option value="<%=myRecordset.getObject(myField1)>"><%=myRecordset.getObject(myField2)%></option>
<%}%>
</select>

How-To populate SELECT LIST default value from SQL Query

OK, I've done my homework, and did not find my answer in the Forum, so here it is.
I have a Page that displays fields from a SQL Query. The Page also has below that radiogroups, checkboxes, and Select Lists to allow the user to change values in the fields that are displayed at the top of the Region. I am able to pre-populate the radiogroups and checkboxes by performing a SELECT in the 'Source value or expression' of the Source area of the Page Item.
However, I am unable to do the same for the Select List fields. Their default value ends up being the first value in the LOV ('-- None --' for NULL values). Source Used: Only when current value in session state is null. Source Type: SQL Query. Also, when I first go into the Page when running it, and check the Session State values, they are all null, so I don't understand why the field is not populated by the SQL Query statement as the radiogroups and checkboxes are.
Any suggestions??? I've tried all sorts of combinations.

Thank you for the suggestion.
I had considered that, but cannot do so, because we are using Oracle Application Express more for development than for data containment.
We have all our data in an Oracle 10.g DB which is separate from the OAEX server, and the OAEX app will reference that data via VIEWs and DB LINKs. We are doing so primarily as an added data security layer, where the data is housed separate from the app, in case the Web site is ever compromised. The data that can be viewed is restricted to a subset of the actual data that is available.
Since the data is on a separate server, (I assume) we will not be able to set the source type to Database column, because (I asume) that is dependent upon the data being housed by the OAEX server.
That still leaves me with having to populate the field with a SELECT statement from the Oracle DB. This unfortuneately is almost a show-stopper for me because of down-stream processing data requirements. Have not been able to come up with contingencies yet.

Help with building a select box from a query?

New thread from a topic I started yesterday. From the responses, and a search of other threads, I realized that I was way off base:-) So, I went back and verified that my TomCat setup was alright. After a few tweeks I verified that I could display the index page and successfully run all of the example servlets and jsps. I then built a simple login.jsp and an associated bean to verify a user id and password on an ldap db. That works good. Next, I built a bean which runs a query against the same ldap db and returns a list of last names. What I want to do is use the last names in the bean to populate my select box. At first I was trying to build the html with the list from my bean, i quickly realized you guys didn't like that approach. So, can someone explain, in some detail (because I'm really dense), just how I can return the values from my bean and build a select box with those values.
regards,
Mat
BTW Gone to see Lord of The Rings...back in about 5 hours :-)

Just in general, I prefer knowing how to do things the "old-fashioned way" first before using other tools, because if it comes time for you to take over someone else's code, you'll probably find that they did it the old way and you'll want to understand that. Further, the new ways are based on the old ways for many things.
Struts is a good system, but unless you have some understanding of the basics, it's probably going to be harder to understand it. If you have the time, I'd say at least go thru one book on JSP/servlets (which should be all about the basics, maybe a slightly older book) and go thru the examples in it.

Pre-selecting from Spry Data Select Box

Hi
I am new here so sorry if this is in the wrong section/format
I am using Two Spry XML Datasets to populate 2 dropdown boxes with vehicle makes and the connected model names (there are other fields but for the sake of clarity I will only show these 2). The XML is dynamically generated by PHP/MySQL and works great for initially creating records. The problem I have is when I want to edit my record and so pre-select the data in the dropdown select box. The first box is easy and works fine but the second box only updates when the first is updated using the 'onchange' and I cannot get it to update on load. I can get it to update 'onclick' or other events but I need it to update the second box when the page loads. Any ideas? I am sure there is a simple solution staring me in the face, but I just can't see it
My code is listed below. I have cut out all the unnecessary code to make it more clear (hopefully)
<script src="../../SpryAssets/xpath.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../SpryAssets/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var dsmakes = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("xmlgenmake.php", "vehicle/makes");
var dsmodel = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("xmlgenmodel.php?xmlmake={dsmakes::make}", "makes/models/model");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" method="post" name="form1" id="form1">
<span spry:region="dsmakes" id="makeSelector">
<select spry:repeatchildren="dsmakes" id="makeSelect" name="make" onchange="document.forms[0].modelSelect.disabled = true; dsmakes.setCurrentRowNumber(this.selectedIndex);">
    <option spry:if="'{dsmakes::make}' == '<?php echo $row_Recordset1['make']; ?>'" value="{dsmakes::make}" selected="selected">{dsmakes::make}</option>
    <option spry:if="'{dsmakes::make}' != '<?php echo $row_Recordset1['make']; ?>'" value="{dsmakes::make}">{dsmakes::make}</option>
</select>
</span><span spry:region="dsmodel" id="modelSelector">
<select spry:repeatchildren="dsmodel" id="modelSelect" name="model">
<option spry:if="'{dsmodel::model}' == '<?php echo $row_Recordset1['model']; ?>'" value="{dsmodel::model}" selected="selected">{dsmodel::model}</option>
<option spry:if="'{dsmodel::model}' != '<?php echo $row_Recordset1['model']; ?>'" value="{dsmodel::model}">{dsmodel::model}</option>
</select>
</span>
</body>
</html>

Sorry for not being clear -
The first Spry Select box populates with the Vehicle Makes and selects the stored make from the DB. The second box is supposed to populate with the corresponding Vehicle Models (corresponding to the Vehicle Make in box one) but it initially only populates with the first makes data (not the selected one) if I add:    onfocus="dsmakes.setCurrentRowNumber(this.selectedIndex);     to the first box it works as it should as soon as it receives focus and the second box updates and selects the correct model.
I have tried adding
Spry.Utils.addLoadListener(InitPage);
     function InitPage() {
       dsmakes.setCurrentRowNumber(makeSelect.selectedIndex);
but I cannot get the second box to update without clicking on the first
It seems there should be s simple solution to this but I cannot see it.

Query Causes ASP Error

This query works great within MS Access itself but causes and
error when used in an ASP application ...
DateAdd("m",-2,EndDate()) >= Date()
Someone suggested there is a problem with the quote marks in
ASP. Would appreciate any help to resolve this. The original thread
is below. Thanks.
Newsgroup User has posted a message entitled Re: EndDate.
Message Posted on: Monday January 22,2007 05:01:27 PM
You use a DateAdd function to get this, something like
DateAdd("m",-2,EndDate()) >= Date()

The quotes around m are the problem here. Double them up to

This is definitely a possible solution, if it is acceptable

all those JS arrays.
This greatly depends on how large they are and what type of
network
connections are being used. I.E. one can get away with more
for an
application running on a corporate intranet with high
capacity network
connections as apposed to a application that must work
acceptably for
the poor soul in the backwoods home that still relies on a
56K modem
over copper phone lines to access the internet.
Yes those people still exist, and sometime applications need
to be
written with them in mind.

How to Populate values dynamically in Select Box.

Hi All,
I have few select boxes in my webdynpro application. Right now I am populating them using Harcoded values in the Dictionary. But I dont want to harcode the values in the dictionary, i want pull the values from database tables or text files of EP KM. Just let me know which is the better way to populate the select box without hardcoding & why ?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Aditya Metukul

Hi Aditya,
Getting values from KM and database is possible
It depends on your requirement
ie if the dropdown should contain details of documents from KM or it should display the details in a table
if it is oracle table see this link
Webdynpro and Oracle
if you want to get data from km see this tutorial
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/webdynpro/tutorial on using knowledge management functions in web dynpro - 26.htm
Hope this helps you

Populate two additional select boxes from main box...

hey all -
i am new at most of this, so please bare with me.
I am trying to go from one box to the next (twice over), and am having difficulty getting to the third box.
I have the original box "select1" and it populates "select two" just fine, but i do not have the third population....looking for help in getting a third box.
I would like box one to populate box two, from the selection in box two, i would like to populate box three, and have that as a selection as well.
here is what i have so far...
<script>
function dropDownChanged(dd)
     if(eval('typeof(' + dd.name.replace(/:/g, "_") + '_children) == \'undefined\'')) return;
     var thisDd;
     if(document.all)
          thisDd = document.all[eval(dd.name.replace(/:/g, "_") + '_childcontrol')];
     else
          thisDd = document.getElementById(eval(dd.name.replace(/:/g, "_") + '_childcontrol'));
     thisDd.options.length = 0;
     var childElements = eval(dd.name.replace(/:/g, "_") + '_children');
     for(var c=0 ; c < childElements.length ; c+=2)
          if(childElements[c] == dd.value)
               for(var o=0 ; o < childElements[c+1].length ; o+=2)
                    thisDd.options[o/2] = new Option(childElements[c+1][o], childElements[c+1][o+1]);
     dropDownChanged(thisDd);
</script>
<script>var opp_childcontrol = 'opp';
var opp_children = ['no',['------------Select first--------------------','no'],'Coffee Businesses',
['selction1','selection1'],'Direct Marketing',['selection2','selection2'],'Employment & Personnel',['selection3','selection3'],'Food-Related Businesses',['selection4','selection4','selection5','selection5','selection6','selection6'],'Printing Businesses',['selection7','selection7'],
'Senior Care',['selection8','selection8']];
</script>after the first box is selected, the second box populates great, now i am wanted the "selection1 - selection 8" to populate a third box with information determined by the second selection, that is also a selection that can be chosen by the end user....
all of this information is sent via web form to a crm...
can you help me to create this third dropdown list with the ability to select an option from there?
I would greatly appreciate any and all help you can provide!
ray
