Problem with HTML Editor box in XML Form

Hi all,
I am using a HTML editor box in one of the XML form template. When I parse the data from HTML editor and apply my own style sheet and display in JSP page, it has no effect on it. Instead the style set by HTML editor box is being applied. Is there any way to override the style applied by HTML editor ?
For example,
Suppose user enters "Hello" in HTML Editor box and saves the xml form.
Then when I parse this data and apply my style sheet like
<style="font-family:arial; font-size:12"><%= datafromXMLform() %>
I should get "Hello" in arial font with size 12, instead I am getting size=1 because of style applied by html editor.
Is there anyway to remove/override this style?
Thanks in advance,
Sandesh

Got it !!!
In the property section of html editor in form builder , set the style as none/empty instead of standard.

Problems with html content in box

Hi! I have a problem with html content. For example photoswipe. If I import the folder with the index.html of photoswipe as an article all works fine. If I link it trough the folio overlay creator/webcontent) into a box in indesign dps, it stays empty. Seems like it doesnt find the images/paths??
Klaus

This sounds familiar. PhotoSwipe doesn't seem to like working in a web content overlay unless the JavaScript and other source files are uploaded within HTMLResources. This means editing your local HTML file so that paths to the JavaScript, images and CSS files begin by pointing to HTMLResources virtual folder (../../../HTMLResources/) before their subfolder and filenames. It's worth a try.

Use of javascript and textarea with HTML editor

Hi all,
I have been trying to use some onchange javascript in the HTML Form Element Attributes of an item which is a textarea with an HTML Editor. It just seems to ignore the code. When you "view source" the code does not seem to be there.
What I am attempting to do is described in thread: detecting changes to items prior to submitting page
i.e. to warn a user that if they leave the page without saving they will lose their changes. It works fine with most of the other items on the page i.e. text boxes, select lists but not the textarea with html editor.
Is there somewhere else I should be putting my js for items of this type? I have spent some time looking through the forum posts but cannot find an answer so far.
Thanks,
Brian

I'm having the same problem.
Would like to use the onChange event in a textarea with html editor.
This works in Firefox (where I don't get the html editor but only a textarea) but doesn't seem to work in IE.
Is there another way of detecting the user has changed the text in the html editor?
Thanks,
Pieter

How can I use javascript in a Text Area with HTML editor??

My question is... how can I use javascript in Text Area with HTML editor??
I can use javascript functions that change the content of Text Areas but i can´t if i try in text area with html editor....
I need to limit number of characters in a text area with html editor and i can´t.
could anybody help me please?

I have been experiencing similar problems with the HTML Editor and have managed to find an answer that should start to answer some of my questions. The Apex HTML Editor Standard is actually an HTML editor called FCKeditor. The FCKeditor has a Javascript API that can be found at http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/JavaScript_API. Unfortuately this doesn't seem to give the whole answer and I found more at http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:49607.
I needed to get the text entered within my html editor standard (e.g. P1_MYTEXT) and use it within my javascript function. I did this by using the following script
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function showtext(){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P1_MYTEXT');
var editortext = escape(oEditor.GetXHTML(oEditor.FormatOutput));
alert(editortext);
</script>
Hope this helps.

APEX - Textarea with HTML Editor.

All,
I am working with Application Express Version 2.2.1.00.04
I have the following problem:
I have an item "Textarea with HTML Editor" which I am inserting
information CLOB in a table.
This data is consulted by a Region Report of APEX which has a Link that
will be a popup. Inside the report, I use wwv_flow_utilities.URLENCODE
(here the column is a CLOB) where it gives me the error "ORA-06502:
PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
I started to investigate which might be the problem and saw that the
item "Textarea with HTML Editor" usually inserts special characters.
I show an example of the special character that inserts and which is the
error.
SELECT wwv_flow_utilities.URLENCODE(' ')
FROM dual;
This character, which is like a space in target, is bringing problems to
be able to execute the report.
A provisional solution to solve this problem is to put a REPLACE into
the Query.
Has anyone this problem.???? Do you know why this character can be
inserted??????
Thx..

Thanks Dimitri!
I'm trying to find this place in the application but I don't have enough privileges. Here, we are working with Application Express 2.2.1 and we have to upgrade to 3.1.1.
In order to improve the behaviour of HTML Editor Standard, I think we should integrate FCK to our application, do you know about any step by step explanation to achieve this? Because I was searching this information in the forums, but I can't find anything. Please, any information you can share with me will be very helpful
Thanks again!

Problems with error-page in web.xml and page caching

Having a few problems with error pages and web.xml with browsers caching the error pages and strange errors coming out of weblogic.servlet.intenal.WebAppServletContext
I'm trying to set a web app up so that all http errors and all exceptions are routed thruogh predefined resources. For now, I'm simply send 400 errors to 400.html and the ServletException, IOException and RuntimeException to respective html pages.
What I'm finding is that the error codes work fine but the exceptions are only be routed to the correct error page for the first call to the servlet after server restart.
So for example, I have my servlet throwing a ServletException as a test case. The weblogic server log shows that ServletException is thrown, and the correct error page for ServletExceptions is shown.
If I change the Servlet code to throw IOException in place of SevletException, the weblogic.log shows that IOExceptyion is being thrown (so the servlet has deployed successfully), however the Servletxception error page is shown on the browser.
I'm using IE6 and I've changed the setting such that a new page is requested every time using the tools-internet options-temp internet files-settings option to "check for new versions of stored pages: Every visit to the page".
Despite this, the servlet exception error page still appears.
If you clear the cache from the temp intenet files->delete files IE option, the correct errror page will be shown so it appears that the browser cache is being used after all.
everytime I delete the temp intenet files I get the correct error page on the first request after but then not after that.
I have implemented the service method for this test to throw the exceptions - does this make a differecne?
As a test, I have moved the imlpementation to the doGet method instead bu I now get a strange eror from weblogic comlpaining about an arrayOutOfBoundsException because eror codes in the web.xml are not supported! - see error above.
Any help is appreciated

After further investigation: -
There are no problems with error pages based on error codes, only error exceptions.
As a test case, I have a service method in a servlet throwing either one of the three exception types that servlets can throw (Runtime, Servlet & IO) the following rules apply. The exception to be thrown is hardcoded and is changed and the web app rebuilt each time. The correct web.xml has been deployed to the app server (checked through console). the webapp is being redeployed correctly - this can be seen in the weblogic log, where the correct exception is reported.
I am using WLS 8.1, Servlet 2.3, JDK 1.4.1_02
In all cases, the weblogic log reports that the servlet is throwing the exception as expected.
Despite having set error-page for exception javax.servlet.ServletException, the exceptions are diverted to the error page that has been set up for http error code 500
The error page for ServletException is therefore never reached.
I have the browser set to request pages every time it is asked.
Once the servlet has thrown an IOException, the only way to get the browser to report an IO or Runtime exception error-page is to clear the browser cache. Restarting the server has no effect.
Once the servlet has responded with ANY exception, it is not possible to get it to report a ServletException (which is incorrectly reported as a 500 anyway) unless the cache is cleared. Restarting the server has no effect.
In the case where the servlet throws ServletException, it has no root exception. The servlet 2.3 spec states that if ServletException is thrown but cannot be found in the error pages, the root excpetion will be extracted and the error page list traversed again. Knowing that the RuntimeException error page is correct shown when RuntimeException is throwm, I have nested this inside the ServletException, however error page for http error 500 is still shown.
I don't believe this is a WLS 8.1 problem, as the console shows that the correct exception is thrown each time. this is backed up by the fact that the correct exception page is thrown when the cache is cleared regardless of what exception was previousdly thrown by the servlet. This excludes ServletException which is always incorrectly thrown as a 500.

APEX - Spelling check and textarea with html editor

I have an item on the form defines as textarea with html editor. I also need to be able to do spelling check, but the "textarea html editor" only has font features and no spelling check. Is there away to define an item to have both spelling check and font features in APEX? Any response is greately appreciated.
Thank you,
MT

MT,
No, this is not a supported region type in APEX 3.2.
You can take a look at jQuery and the number of rich text editors available for it: http://www.queness.com/post/212/10-jquery-and-non-jquery-javascript-rich-text-editors
Hope this helps.

Textarea with HTML editor is not working

Hi all,
This is producing me a real headache.
I created the simplest application in the world with one Textarea with HTML editor, and the editor control does not show the usual tool bar for fonts, color, alignment, etc. Just a ordinary textarea.
Moreover, this was working before... I moved to another location in my work (me, not the server). Yes, I thought about the Internet Explorer, but Firefox has the same issue.
So any idea I can try to make this work?
I have another applications already in production with the same issue.
Need help!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.
Lukas.

Lukas,
I would go and integrate FCKEDITOR (http://www.fckeditor.net/ ) into your application.
Here are instructions on how to achieve this (sorry but only in German):
http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/tipps/einbinden_fckeditor/index.html
It basically means:
1) copying the files from fckeditor under the /images directory
(you can use the instructions here: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html)
2) creating two shortcuts INCLUDE_EDITOR_SCRIPTS and EDITOR
3) placing the shortcut INCLUDE_EDITOR_SCRIPTS into the page html header and
4) placing the shortcut EDITOR into the post element text of your plain textarea element
That's it.
BTW, FCKEDITOR has been included in Apex 3.0 as a standard item type.

~Dietmar.

Problem with HTML viewer

Dear All ,
I am facing a problem with HTML Viewer . My senario is as follows :
1. I have created one HTML page . On that page there are 4 Images
2. I imported that HTML page in SAP with the help of transaction SMW0
3. I Called that HTML page in my ABAP program using the method "load_html_document" of class cl_gui_html_viewer
4. This is happening perfectly ok on the machine on which all this developement was done.
But the issue is when I execute my ABAP program on a different machine , those Images on that HTML page are not displaying.
Can you please guide me how to remove that machine dependancy?
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,
Please check if the image is properly imported properly. Also check if there is any option which you might have forgotten while imported like dependeency.

Custom Popup - Passing values back to Textarea with HTML Editor

I have created a Custom Popup which is to populate a "Textarea with HTML Editor".
I have found that the Custom Popup works fine if the target item is defined as a "Textarea", or "Textarea (auto-height)", or "Textarea w/Character Counter" (although the counter is not automatically updated), or "Textarea w/Character Counter & Spellcheck", or "Textarea with Spell Checker".
However, if the target item is defined as "Textarea with HTML Editor" the Custom Popup does not populate the target item. No error message is produced. If the target item already had data, the data is unchanged.
Is this a known bug?

"Textarea with HTML Editor" is actually two objects on the screen with javascript keeping the data in the two objects in sync as you type in the editor.
You have to populate both objects as you try to syncronize the data from your popup.
I built a screen using dHTML that switches between the HTML Editor and the Text with Spell check and use Javascript to keep the two (actually three objects in sync)
My button that switches from one view to the other uses the following syntax:
javascript:setEqual('P9904_HTML_MESSAGE','P9904_MESSAGE','P9904_MESSAGEDiv');
'P9904_HTML_MESSAGE' is the HTML view of the data with spell check
'P9904_MESSAGE' is the html editor view of the data
'P9904_MESSAGEDiv' is the extra object that Oracle uses for the editor
This is the fuction that keeps the data in sync:
function setEqual(fromObjectID,toObjectID,htmlObjectID)
document.getElementById(toObjectID).value = document.getElementById(fromObjectID).value;
document.getElementById(htmlObjectID).innerHTML=document.getElementById(fromObjectID).value;
I hope this helps.

Changing the font size does not work with Textarea with HTML Editor

If you change the font size in the text area of a "Textarea with HTML Editor" item it does not work. I've searched the forum and the only solution I've seen is to use an HTML editor foriegn to APEX. Does anyone have a better solution? Thanks, Elizabeth

I'm having a similar issue except with HTML Editor Standard.
What I'm doing is allow someone to write to an HTML Editor Standard field and then an HTML marked up text is saved to a db CLOB column. In another page, I reference this DB column and show it in an HTML Region (I do a computation Before Regions for a hidden item that writes out the html with "htp.p")
Everything shows up fine EXCEPT the font tags and headings. I'm finding that the HTML Region sets the font size only with the < d i v s t y l e="font-size: large" >and NOT < f o n t size:6 >. When the HTML Editor renders the user's text input, any size changes are made with the < f o n t > tag, which is depreciated anyways, and not with "style". That's why the size is not showing up.
I can't really figure out why the headings aren't showing up except maybe the css style in the region is overridding it...
Is there another APEX item type like HTML Editor (which uses FCKEditor) that I can use, or maybe another approach to remedy this issue? Or maybe this post calls for an enhancement with the HTML Editor?{size}{size}

Textare with character counter versus textarea with html editor

Hi
I am using a textarea with html editor. I need to restrict the user to not type more than 25000 characters? Can someone tell me as to how I can do that?
I know that one can set the maximum width for textarea with character counter and it prevents one from typing in more than the maximun specified, but I really need to use the html editor. Thanks.
suni

This is caused by the charCount javascript function, which dynamically sets the text colour to 'red' when the maximum number of characters is entered, but "resets" it to 'black'.
Guess the way to avoid this is to create your own equivalent of the charCount function that captures the actual colour from the DOM and attach it to a textarea using the onchange and onkeyup attributes used in the built-in one.

Issue with HTML Editor of XML Form Builder.??

Hi All,
We are using HTML Editor of XML Form Builder to enter the Content. This content will be displayed to teh User by parsing these XML Files generated by the XML Form Builder Application.
But, when we parse the XML, the other field values are coming properly, except HTML Editor field Content.
This is working fine, only when I enter a Single line Text. If I enter some Spaces, New lines, Paragraphs, etc. the XML Parsing is not returning any Content..
And also when I use Text Area, the total content is returning as a Single Paragraph, Even if I enter multiple lines, spaces,.
If anyone has Idea on this, Please Help me to solve this Issue ASAP.
Thanks&Regards||
Ashok Kumar M.

Hi Bala,
It is already mapped correctly. If I enter a single line Text in HTML Editor, I am getting the same Text after Parsing. But If I enter multiple lines, spaces, new lines, etc., then the Problem.

Problem with HTML form on Android

Hello,
we are experiencing problems with quite simple HTML/Javascript form included in Adobe DPS publication on Android. It's working on iPad without problem, it's working on standard Android Chrome viewer, but when included in DPS publication, we can't write anything in the form.
Does somebody encountered same problem and found solution? seems that this problem appeared on some newer version of Android, circa 4.3.
Thanks

Hi, there, a couple of things to double check on your emulator settings:
When configuring the Android emulator, please make sure the emulator emulates ARM Processor (armeabi - v7). ADF Mobile only works with ARM processors - both device and emulator.
Under Memory Options, please ensure RAM is at least 768 or greater. This of course is also constraint by the amount of memory your development machine has, but generally you should have at least 768 MB allocated. ADF Mobile app itself won't take up nearly that much RAM of course, but there are a lot of Android apps that are started in the background when Android emulator starts.
Also, make sure there is 500 MB of internal storage configured - you can go as low as 200 MB but the space will quickly.
Lastly, before you compile/deploy again, please go to JDeveloper menu item Build - Clean All to clean up any left over deployment artifacts.
Thanks,
Joe Huang

Problem with Image IO jre on Oracle Form

I'm using PJC to run my Text Editor program from Oracle Form. The Editor has an Image drag & drop option and I have to upgrade the jre with Image I/O API for this functionality. To upgrade jre the tool 'jai_imageio_1_0_01-lib-windows-i586-jre' needs to be installed. When I upgrade jre with this tool and run my program independently from Oracle Form, it runs well but when I run this right there from Oracle Form it doesn't run and exception is thrown on javax.imageio and other packages that are part of that tool even though the Oracle Developer's jdk is upgraded with this tool. Could anyone help me resolve this problem?

Hi,
This is a JDeveloper help forum, the Formsforum can be found at Forms Now you might think that Forms developers don't understand Java well enough, they do however understand teh Forms context and this is important to answr the question.
a) Which Java version does your ben require?
b) Are you using JInitiator or JavaPlugin (Jinitiator only supports Java 1.3)
c) Is your PJC signed? Note that running an app stand alone as a Java app does not require special grants. Running it within a JavaApplet - as Forms is - does execute teh bean in a security sandbox, for which reasons the jar file must be signed and the public key be available in the Forms certdb.txt file (assuming Jinitiator)
d) An exception stack trace gives more information than "Oracle Form it doesn't run and exception is thrown on javax.imageio and other packages", which is meanlingless to me and others. Teh stack trace canbe copied from teh JInitiator console
I recommend resending this question to the Forms forum
