Put a Select List on Page 0

Is it possible to put a select list on page 0 so there's just one select list but it displays on every page?
What I'm trying to achieve is this. Select "C" from the select list (A,B,C,D) on page 1. Then switch to page 2 and the select list is still set to"C" and the headers, charts and charts series using the select variable are "C". Select "D" from the select list and switch back to page 1 with the select list and all still set to "D" from page 2.
What kind of region (on Page 0) would one use for the select list?
Thanks, Howard

Fateh - Thank you so much for answering.
1) So that I can try what you said, what kind of region type (on Page 0) would I use to create the common select list? I've tried, using a couple different region types, but they don't support creating select lists--at least, "Select List" is not listed in the wizard when I go to create one. Once I get the select list created, I will try what you say.
2) But, I'm confused by this part:
1- Edit the branch of your page, in Action region you put:Set these items: P0_X
With these values: &P_X.
>
Did you mean &P0_X.? Because I'm not sure what &P_X. is.
Though, "&P0_X." would be strange; would it not? Why would one need to set P0_X to itself? Doesn't it already equal itself?
3) You know, I've tried using a default value with separate select lists on each page and trying to pass a global variable between the pages. And sometimes I've used a default value to try to get this to work.
2- just put &P0_X. in the default value of the item P0_X .But it seems to me, a default is only going to work when "P0_X" is null, so it's only going to work maybe the very first time.
Thank you for your help! -- Howard (a newbie)

How to store the return value from a select list in page item ?

I'm sorry, I'm sure you will all flame me for this (and its long too :-(. I'm still trying to pick this up and havn't had time to read manual and this forum and up against the clock (as usual), but this must be something thats simple to do, otherwise why have 2 cols on LOV (display text and return value.
normal kind of thing - master /detail, a master table and a detail table, master.id is PK in master, master.name is the name of the master item. detail.id is pk in detail, detail.mid is foreign key to master.id. I have a tabular report that displays a join of cols from master and detail, with 2 cols being links, one is a link on master.name, that passes master.id to page P1 and it displays a row from master. The other col displays detail.name and passes detail.id to page P3, P3 displays a row of the detail table.
I want to populate a LOV with possible master.name values, but display the name of the current P3_MID value (from detail.mid). Then a user can pick a different master and it needs to update P3_MID so on submit it updates the row.
I just can't seem to see in the manual how you can specify where the return value on a LOV goes?
As I said, sorry for long post and not having had time to read docs correctly - someone just point me at the subject matter somewhere, please.

Sorry, I was trying to be to complex and obviously APEX is just too damn cleaver - I figured out how this works - basically APEX pulls the LOV and then matchs the mid to it to display the correct name - simple and easy - just me making it difficult

Branching to a page from a SELECT LIST

Simple question again ! I have a SELECT LIST, and have set up a static LOV with a couple of report names. If a report name is clicked from the list, I want to go to a particular page. I am assuming I need to put a RETURN VALUE in the static LOV, but can't find the syntax to put a branch to a new page in there. Can anyone help ? thanks
p.s does anyone know a good starting book ???

OK
You have two report pages - we'll say that they are on Page 11 and Page 12. You want the users to select a report from a select list on Page 10.
So - You have an item on a page called "P10_REPORT" that is a "Select List with Submit". The LOV of this field is a static LOV with a source of "STATIC:Report1;11,Report2;12".
You then have an unconditional branch for Page 10. The Branch Action Page value would then be set to #P10_REPORT#. You do not need to explicitly set the page number - you can use #FIELDNAME# substitutions. Therefore, when the user selects a report, the value of P10_REPORT will be either 11 or 12. The action of selecting the report will submit the page and #P10_REPORT# will be translated to the value in the LOV for the report that the user has picked. This is then used as the page to branch to.

Question on Dynamic Select Lists and Checkboxes

Hello,
I am new to APEX, and this is my first posting, I have a question about how to implement dynamic checkboxes from a select list.
Basically I would have a select list, and based on what item is selected a set of checkboxes would appear.
I was originally using the Select and Submit property on the select box, which works fine, all of the checkboxes appear appropriately. But the thing is, APEX refreshes the page each time, and since this select box is lower in the page, the user would have to scroll all the way down to where they were before.
The main requirement is so that the user won't have to scroll down the that position where the select box is each time they select a new option.
So a work around attempt is to create a javascript that will automatically scroll down to that position on page load ...
i.e.
function pageScroll() {
window.scrollBy(0,50);
But that didn't work, because for some reason the javascript wasn't appearing.
Is there a way to either:
1. Have a dynamic checkbox appear using ajax? -or-
2. Have the javascript scrolling effect
Sorry if this is a confusing question, I was wondering if anyone else came across this issue.
Thanks in advance!!

Since this Select List plays such an important role on the page, why not create a side-region and put that select list there so you don't have to overwhelm the user and his 'persistence of vision ' with a page that scrolls all by itself to the 1000th line to, then , change the options ?
just an idea.

Hiding of Select Options in screen based on selection in selection list box

Hi People,
         I have a screen where i have put a selection list box, it is pre-filled with values, Now based on the value which user selects, I want to show/hide some select-options fields. I have declared the select options in the top include of my program,
SELECT-OPTIONS: so_user FOR ls_rsp_user-user_id MODIF ID 222,
                so_userg FOR ls_rsp_usergrp-user_grp_id MODIF ID 333,
                so_ccode FOR ls_vdmp-bukrs MODIF ID 444,
then in the PBO of my screen, I have written a module, set screen in which I loop over screen & check the group id's
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-group1 = '111'.
      IF gv_hier_resp_fields_flag IS NOT INITIAL.
        screen-active = 1.
      ELSE.
        screen-active = 0.
      ENDIF.
    ELSEIF screen-group1 = '222'.
      IF gv_user_fields_flag IS NOT INITIAL.
        screen-active = 1.
      ELSE.
        screen-active = 0.
      ENDIF.
    ELSEIF screen-group1 = '333'.
      IF gv_user_group_fields_flag IS NOT INITIAL.
        screen-active = 1.
      ELSE.
        screen-active = 0.
    ENDIF.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.
I am setting some flags based on the value which user selects in the selection list box, When I debugged I found that the flags were being set correctly, but the screen group value never set to '222' or '333', these are id's i have used for select options. Hence I am unable to hide/show the select options fields. Kindly suggest some solutions for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepak

then in the PBO of my screen
Your SELECT-OPTIONS are defined in a SELECTION-SCREEN so the PBO actions must be maintained in a AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT block.
I suppose the selection-screen is a subscreen, if you dont want to get unwanted interactions with a main selection-screen of the report, check sy-dynnr
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
   CASE sy-dynnr.
     WHEN '1000'. " main screen of report
     WHEN '0100'. " selection-screen defined as subscreen
       LOOP AT SCREEN.
         CASE SCREEN-GROUP1.
           WHEN '111'.
         ENDCASE.
       ENDLOOP.
   ENDCASE.

Hi,
you have some options:
1) you can try setting default value of P1_SELECT_PRODUCT item, I was do it

Select list and redisplay

I have a select list on Page 0 (so it shows on all my pages). When the users makes a selection from the list, I want to re-display the current page, passing the selected value (used in my fetch condition). I see there are several options for select list (with branch, re-direct etc.). What is the best way to do this when select list is on page 0?

You can select ( select list with branch to a URL) .. and then specify the URL . use some hidden item to save page id on each page you want to have that list on, so that in list URL you can use that item to build the URL for that page depending on the item's value ( page id )
Thanks,

How to create dependent Select Lists?

Hi,
Found in the documentation that to create dependent select list we have to do these 3 things:
1. In the parent select list, choose the option "select list with submit".
2. Defining a branch that branches back to the current page.
3. In the child select list sql, use the value of the parent (eg. :P6_PARENT_SELECT_VALUE).
When I change the value of parent select list the page is getting submitted and its going to the parent page. I've a branch that goes to the parent page but how to create a branch that comes back to the same page and then use it in parent select list?
Thanks,
Hozy

Hi Hozy,
1. Make the branch conditional...
2. Create a new branch while will run when you make a selection in parent select list.
Also check this site to create dependent select list without sumbitting the page....

Tranferring on "select list" value to another "select list" value

We have a drill through feature in our application where the user clicks on a value on page 1 and is taken to page 2. (e.g. the user drills on EUROPE in the REGION column on page 1 and is taken to page 2 where they see a report by countries in EUROPE.)
We also have identical SELECT LISTS on page 1 and on page 2 for REGION (EUROPE, NORTH AMERICA, ASIA). How do we program our application so that when the user clicks on EUROPE on page 1 and is taken to page 2 the value of EUROPE from the REGION SELECT LIST on page 1 is chosen in the REGION SELECT LIST on page 2?
We tried embedding this in the url for the drill through but the REGION SELECT LIST value on page 2 didn't change.
In the below link shouldn't the value of the REGION SELECT LIST named P2_REGION be assigned the current value of the REGION SELECT LIST called P1_REGION? (in this case 'EUROPE')
Thanks for help on this. John Wisnieff

How to populate another page item based on cascading select lists?

Oracle 10gXE
APEX 3.2
I've created cascading select lists based on the examples (using Javascript and AJAX) that i've seen on this forum. Thanks for help on that!
Now that I have these LOV's being populated without needing to submit the page, how do I take the value that is presently in each LOV and concatenate them together to populate another page item? I'm trying to build the URL string that will execute an Oracle Report once the user clicks a button.
Previously, when I had multiple Select Lists with a submit, the URL was being put together using an After Submit Computation that would set the value for an item (P26_REPORT_URL) on the page. Notice that a report parameter (i.e. parameter name and Select List value) is only included if the user has provided a value. The page item that holds these values is then referenced by a button for URL redirect. The URL Target for the button currently is: javascript:popupURL('&P26_REPORT_URL.'), but will not work at the moment because P26_REPORT_URL page item is not changing based on what is selected in the LOVs. Since I'm not submitting anything (do I need to?), how do I put together the values needed?
Computation for P26_REPORT_URL:
DECLARE
l_param VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
l_param := '&REPORTS_URL.&report=&P26_RPT_VIEW..rdf&desformat=&P26_DESFORMAT.&destype=cache';
IF REPLACE(:P26_OLO_CODE,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_olo_code=&P26_OLO_CODE.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_BEG_DATE,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_start_dt=&P26_BEG_DATE.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_END_DATE,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_end_dt=&P26_END_DATE.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_ORG_CODE_2,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_org_code=&P26_ORG_CODE_2.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_FLAIR_ORG_2,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_flair_org_code=&P26_FLAIR_ORG_2.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_BUDGET_ENTITY_2,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_agy_code=&P26_BUDGET_ENTITY_2.';
END IF;
RETURN l_param;
END;

Andy,
This is a great suggestion! After I posted, I started looking at a Javascript solution and figured it's probably what I had to do.
However, now the cascading select list no longer working for some reason after I added the function to concatenate the item values. When I remove the showReport() function the select list works again.
Here is what I have in the HTML Header portion of the page:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function popupURL (url) {
w = open(url,"winLov","resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
function showReport()
var l_param = '&REPORTS_URL.&report=' + $v('P26_RPT_VIEW') + '.rdf&desformat=' + $v('P26_DESFORMAT') + '&destype=cache';
if ($v('P26_OLO_CODE' != '')
   l_param += '&p_olo_code=' + $v('P26_OLO_CODE');
if ($v('P26_ORG_CODE_3' != '')
   l_param += '&p_org_code=' + $v('P26_ORG_CODE_3');
popupURL(l_param);
function get_AJAX_SELECT_XML(pThis,pSelect){
     var l_Return = null;
     var l_Select = $x(pSelect);
     var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=ORG_SELECT_LIST',0);
     get.add('TEMPORARY_ITEM',pThis.value);
     gReturn = get.get('XML');
     if(gReturn && l_Select){
         var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("option").length;
         l_Select.length = 0;
         for(var i=0;i<l_Count;i++){
             var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("option");
appendToSelect(l_Select, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'), l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue)
get = null;
function appendToSelect(pSelect, pValue, pContent) {
var l_Opt = document.createElement("option");
l_Opt.value = pValue;
if(document.all){
pSelect.options.add(l_Opt);
l_Opt.innerText = pContent;
}else{
l_Opt.appendChild(document.createTextNode(pContent));
pSelect.appendChild(l_Opt);
</script>

I want to put a slideshow onto a page on my website without having the pics and/or albums listed below

how can you put a slideshow on a page in iweb without putting the albums and or pictures below?

Here's one way to do it using iWeb's photo slideshow (without showing the individual photos) on this test page: Page-7. All it takes is some code, listed on the test page, in an HTML snippet. Also for the photo page be sure there are no options selected, i.e. like downloads, reflections, subscriptions, etc.
Be sure to go to Cyclosaurus' site, a link in on the test page, to see his version of it.

Select List with Submit refreshes page to top force users to scroll down

Hello All,
I have Dependent Select List where this functionality driving select list submit values to a subsequent select list.
The "Select List with Submit" refreshes page where the unintended by-product is page refresh, which returns to top of page and therefore force users to scroll back down.
In other words: I have a long form page where I have a Dependent Select List. So when you change the value of the 1st select list it refreshes the 2nd. This is all fine, but when the refresh occurs, the Form-focus returns to the top of page. This makes the users scroll back down to the lower end of the Form where they left off. This would make usability problems for users.
Anyway we can make the Form return where to the area(Item or Region) where the user was during the selection of the Select List?
Thanks in advance,
Konstantine

HURRAY!! I got it to work perfectly using anchors. I am adding this message to help future ApEx developers.
I have been searching the Forum for 3 days and have read numerous postings. There was a lot of good discussion on anchors and linking from page to page. But, nothing exactly like my situation.
Situation: Have a page, PG4, with a button, PG4_BUTTON, that redirects to a different page, PG7. PG4_BUTTON has its 'Display In Region' field set to PG4_REGION. When PG4 is run and the form displays, the PG4_BUTTON is located at the bottom. When the user would click PG4_BUTTON, the user would be taken to PG7. (this is good) The user enters some data in PG7 fields and then clicks a create button, PG7_BUTTON. PG7_BUTTON would submit data. An After Processing, Go To Page, Branch would be activated when this button was pressed and then the user would be returned to a refreshed PG4, at the top. This forces the user each time to have to scroll down to the bottom of PG4 to continue. (this is NOT good)
Solution: On PG4, I edited the region, PG4_REGION. For the region 'Title' I added an anchor before the actual name. So it looked like this:
{a name="REGION_TO_RETURN_TO"></a}PG4_REGION
please note: where I have the curly braces above '{' '}' you need to put < the pointed and '>'
Next, on PG7, I edited the Branch. On the 'Edit Branch' page, in the 'Action' region, I changed the 'Target type' field from 'Page in this Application' to 'URL'.
To the 'URL Target' text area field I added this:
f?p=&APP_ID.:4:&SESSION.::::::#REGION_TO_RETURN_TO
So, there you have it. If you still need to read other postings, here are a couple of the sites I read:

Report -- filter with selection list -- show all values after select page

Hello!
I have the following problem:
- I have a report
- this report can be filtered with a selection-list
- the selection list is based on dynamic LOV and has a null-value
- I added the code of the report the following, to filter the report after choosing a value of the selection list:
... and (instr(type, decode(:P8_FILTER_type, '%null%',type,:P8_FILTER_type)) > 0)
This works very well.
But my problem is: When the user logs out and the next time, he logs in, the selection list shows " --- show all values --- " (my null-display-value) and the report is empty "no values found".
---> I want to show the first time, the page is selected ALL the values of the report. (this is now only possile if I press the button which belongs to the selection list)
I hope, somebody understands my problem.
Thank you so much,
LISA

Hello Lisa,
The first time it's probably NULL.
So what you can do in your where: (instr(type, decode(NVL(:P8_FILTER_type,'%null%'), '%null%',type,:P8_FILTER_type)) > 0)
Off topic: I also wonder if that where clause can't be simpler? Do you rely need the instr?

Refresh PL/SQL Report Region (not Page) using Select List value

Hi,
I've got a report region based on a 'PL/SQL function body returning a SQL query'which gets generated on selecting a value from a Select list item, The Select List action is 'Redirect and Set value' but this causes the whole page to refresh rather than just the report region. I've tried to refresh the report only using a dynamic action on the Select List item (Action now reset to 'None') but now the report is not appearing on choosing from the List. Can anyone suggest a solution that will allow me to refresh this report without refreshing the page? I am using APEX 4.2.2 and the report syntax is as follows:
DECLARE
v_statement VARCHAR2(500);
BEGIN
SELECT query_text
    INTO v_statement
   FROM sql_queries
   WHERE query_id = :P2_QUERY ;
   RETURN v_statement ;
END ;
where P2_QUERY is Select List Item,
regards,
Kevin.

KevinFitz wrote:
The report region being displayed is conditional on P2_QUERY item being NOT NULL. I assume the region not appearing is because the Action for the Select List Item is set to None and so P2_QUERY is always NULL.
No, the region is not appearing because it is conditional on P2_QUERY being NOT NULL. This means that the report region never exists on the page shown in the browser, so it can't be dynamically refreshed. (Dynamic refresh doesn't evaluate region conditions, and it only re-renders the report content, not the entire region.)
Remove the condition on the report region, check the refresh is working, then reconsider exactly what the requirements here are. If you want the region to appear only when P2_QUERY has a value, and you want it to be refreshed without submitting and re-rendering the page, then the region needs to be hidden rather than conditionally rendered, and shown via a dynamic action when P2_QUERY gets a value.
I tried adding an additional Set Value True Action for the DA event but got an error as listed above,
All irrelevant if Page Items to Submit on the region is used properly.

Select option in select list and navigate to different page

Hello,
I have a tabular form.One of the item is a select list with 2 options. Selecting option one should take the user to page10(just an example) and display all the values of that particular row. Similarly selecting option 2 should take the user to page 20 and display all the values of that row.
Can some one guide me how to do above mentioned job.
Thanks in advance.
