Referencing a button using javascript

Hi there
Does anyone know how to reference a button (button in region position) in javascript? I have tried using document.getElementById(<button name>).disabled=true and document.getElementByName(<button name>).disabled=true and keep getting errors. I am needing this to enable and disable a button depending on a value selected from a select list.
Cheers
Heidi

Hi,
Try this:
Use this in your JavaScript code.
$('button[type="button"][value="Cancel"]').attr('disabled', 'disabled');It is a jQuery code which I tried on a template based button with Text Label/Alt as "Cancel"
which is used in above code *[value="Cancel"]*.
The normal disabling mechanism with above methods don't work on Template Based Button
as it is not constructed using <input></input> internally in ApEx but using <button></button>
and hence they do not have any attribute id.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Kiran

  • Associating two events with submit button using  javascript in jsp

    Hi
    How can i Associate two events with submit button using javascript in jsp. Firstly it should insert the data to database and secondly it should close the same pop-up window

    Have something like :
    <input type="submit" name="submitbtn" value="Click me" onClick="function1(); function2(); " />
    You just call both functions sequentially, it's that simple. Although using javascript to work with a database, that seems a bit tricky.

  • Disable button using javascript

    Hi,
    I'm sorry if this is a relatively simple problem, but I have tried several things and have searched the forum, but still no luck!
    I am trying to get a button in a form to be disabled or hidden on loading the page and only to become enabled or shown once an 'onclick' event occurs. I already have a javascript function running successfully on the 'onclick' event, so there is no problem with that.
    Preferably I would like the button to be template driven, but I realise that disabling/hiding it may only be possible with an HTML button.
    I have tried the following JavaScript, but it appears to do nothing:
    document.getElementById('P6_OK').disabled=true;
    $x_HideItemRow('P6_OK');
    If the JavaScript is ok it is probably the way I am implementing it into the HTML.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm still having troubles with this (see above). If anyone has successfully managed to disable a button using JavaScript I would be interested in how they did it.
    To clarify, I have tried the following two pieces of script, among others:
    (1) document.getElementById('P6_OK').disabled=true;
    (2) $x_HideItemRow('P6_OK');
    I have read quite a few forum links and followed what others have done, but in vain.
    Thanks for your help

  • Hide an HTML button using javascript

    Hi,
    I need to hide an html buttton using javascript. I have an radio button with values "YES" and "NO". If is select NO then i need hide the button without refreshing the page. Can anyone suggest me how to hide an button using javascript.
    Thanks
    Prashanth

    Prashanth,
    The exact solution will vary based on a few factors. The basic idea is to place an event handler on the radio button item that calls a function to hide/show the button. You might also want to call that function when the page loads too.
    If you put an example page on apex.oracle.com and provide the workspace/username/password I'll take a look. You can create a new account for this purpose.

  • Selecting or highlighting node or mesh by button using javascript

    Hi
    I have 3D pdf model with node 1001 or mesh name 2002 and when I klick it by mouse on 3D view it is highlighted and get orange boundary box.
    I have created button name 1001 button and I would like to add to this button javascript function which will highlight this node or mesh in the same way as click on those.
    I found in discusion some way of make it for example red by changing rendering mode to illustration but it is not what I am trying to do. I asking if it is possible just select from button using name of node or mesh. if you have any exmaple of script i will be very pleased.

    thanks for answer.
    It is not what I want to do
    I have 5 layer and on each layer I have one node and under neath one mesh.
    I would like to select node or mesh by clicking button created on page not by clicking in 3d model or Model Tree. Like below bottles are selected (highlighted).
    NowI doing it like that:
    BUTTON 1-----------------------------------------------
    myAnnotObj = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;
    myAnnotObj.scene.defaultRenderOptions.illustrationRenderModeFaceColor.set( 1, 0, 0 );
    for (var i = 0; i < myAnnotObj.scene.meshes.count; ++i)
    mesh = myAnnotObj.scene.meshes.getByIndex(i);
    mesh.renderMode = "solid";
    HighlObj = myAnnotObj.scene.meshes.getByName("1001");
    HighlObj.renderMode = "illustration";
    BUTTON 2-----------------------------------------------
    myAnnotObj = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;
    myAnnotObj.scene.defaultRenderOptions.illustrationRenderModeFaceColor.set( 1, 0, 0 );
    for (var i = 0; i < myAnnotObj.scene.meshes.count; ++i)
    mesh = myAnnotObj.scene.meshes.getByIndex(i);
    mesh.renderMode = "solid";
    HighlObj = myAnnotObj.scene.meshes.getByName("2002");
    HighlObj.renderMode = "illustration";
    in this method I have to clean old selection in the loop doing this render mode back to solid. In the same time my selection not working at all in render mode illustration. So I would like to find how to select like in picture from button in document. by script.

  • How to Disable a Button Using JavaScript

    Hi,
    I want to disable a button based on a condition. I am using a template based button (button Alternate 3). I am using Theme 3. I have created buttons of type item but when I view the source there is no button name populated in the html. My javascript is not disabling the button.
    Please advice.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can't disable an A tag (FireFox, for example, will still let you click the "link").
    What you could do would be to create a second button that doesn't work and only show one of these at a time.
    I have done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=35917:30]
    The Button has been based on a custom Button Template. The definition for this is:
    &lt;table class="t10Button" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"  summary="" id="#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#"&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td class="t10L"&gt;&lt;a href="#LINK#"&gt;&lt;img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_10/button_left.gif" alt="" width="4" height="24" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td class="t10C"&gt;&lt;a href="#LINK#"&gt;#LABEL#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td class="t10R"&gt;&lt;a href="#LINK#"&gt;&lt;img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_10/button_right.gif" width="4" height="24" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;/table&gt;
    &lt;table class="t10Button" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"  summary="" id="#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#_DISABLED" style="display:none"&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td class="t10L"&gt;&lt;img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_10/button_left.gif" alt="" width="4" height="24" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td class="t10C" style="padding:1px 4px;"&gt;#LABEL#&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td class="t10R"&gt;&lt;img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_10/button_right.gif" width="4" height="24" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;/table&gt;This actually creates two buttons - the first one, which actually has the link, is visible to start with. The second one, which has no link at all, starts off as invisible.
    Both buttons use the #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# setting to get the button name into the ID - though the second button adds "_DISABLED" to this so that it has a unique, but known, ID
    Then it is just a case of calling a function to show one button and hide the other or vice versa:
    &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
    function disableButton()
    document.getElementById('P30_TEST_BUTTON').style.display = "none";
    document.getElementById('P30_TEST_BUTTON_DISABLED').style.display = "block";
    function enableButton()
    document.getElementById('P30_TEST_BUTTON').style.display = "block";
    document.getElementById('P30_TEST_BUTTON_DISABLED').style.display = "none";
    &lt;/script&gt;Another possibility is to add the #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# to the TABLE tag instead of the A tag in a new button template (based on a copy of the normal Button template). Then, the ID value would be applied to entire "button". You can then make this invisible using:
    $x('BUTTON_ID').style.visibility = 'hidden';The button will be removed from the page as far as the user is concerned, so they can not click the link.

  • Adobe Reader Submit Button using JavaScript

    We have a form that when submitted it needs to use javascript to update the Subject Line of the email message for our workflow process. This process works absolutely great when using Acrobat. However, when sent to someone using Reader (even with JavaScript enabled through preferences) nothing happens when the button is clicked. The form was designed in Acrobat 10 Professional.
    Here is the JavaScript we are using...
    var wsuid = this.getField ("mywsuid");
    var d = new Date();
    var month = d.getMonth()+1;
    var day = d.getDate();
    var year = d.getFullYear();
    var today = ((''+month).length<2 ? '0' : '') + month + '/' + ((''+day).length<2 ? '0' : '') + '/' + day +  year;
    var name = this.getField("name");
    var subject = "subject: " + (wsuid.valueAsString) + ":" + (name.valueAsString) + ":" + (today);
    this.mailDoc({
        bUI: true,
        cTo: "[email protected]",
        cCc: "",
        cSubject: subject,
    Suggestions on getting this to work with Acrobat Reader is much appreciated.

  • Toggle Image Buttons using Javascript - How?

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can assist me with javascript and how to toggle buttons.
    My scenario is as follows - I have two buttons side by side, say Button_A and Button_B but I also have two other buttons, i.e Button_C and Button_D which are not displayed at start-up, only Button_A and Button_B are displayed.
    With javascript, I need a means of switching buttons over the top of Button_A and Button_B, i.e if I press Button_B, Button_A gets replaced with Button_C and Button_B gets replaced with Button_D.
    At the moment, each button is inside unique div id, and each button is displayed as an image within an img tag.
    Also need a means of accessing buttons via javascript, even if I haven't actually clicked that particular button, i.e if I click Button_B which fires an onclick event, I need to perform operations on Button_A as well. Unsure how to access Button_A object?
    Any assistance on the above would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tony.

    Hi,
    It sort of helps but lets say in your example you had another image column called IMAGE2, which had a image of a green circle, so that when you clicked on the green tick within your IMAGE column, this changed to a red cross as it does now but at the same time, also toggled the green circle to a blue square, even though you didn't click on this green circle image, just on the green tick.
    How might this be done in Javascript?
    Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks.

  • Referencing additional instances using JavaScript

    Thanks for the help in advance.
    Sorry I am new to JavaScript. I am having instance issues. I have a line of code that adds instances of a table and a text field and works great.
    Here is the code:
    Form1.Body.AddLine.btn_AddLine::click - (JavaScript, client)
    Item.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
    But when this code runs on the exit it still changes the first instance of the object. It will not change additional lines after they have been added?
    Form1.Body.Item.Item_Description::exit - (JavaScript, client)
    if(Body.Item.Item_Description.rawValue = "Scissors")
    xfa.host.messageBox("Please fill in Bottom Chord Pitch")
    Body.Item.Add_Notes.rawValue = "Bottom Chord Pitch:_________"
    xfa.host.messageBox("Please fill in Seat Cut")
    Body.Item.Add_Notes.rawValue = Body.Item.Add_Notes.rawValue + " Seat Cut:_________"
    xfa.host.messageBox("Please fill in Bearing")
    Body.Item.Add_Notes.rawValue = Body.Item.Add_Notes.rawValue + " Bearing:_________"
    Thanks, Leo Snetsinger

    Each line has its own instance and the instance number is on the subform and not the object level. So your expression should be:
    Body.Item[2].Add_Notes.rawValue = "Bottom Chord Pitch:_________"
    If you try to address the object instance with a variable then you would use this type of expression:
    xfa.reolveNode("Body.Item[2]")Add_Notes.rawValue

  • Custom print button using javascript for landscape document

    I am working on a document that has 50+ pages and am wanting to have a print button on most of them to print the exact page. The document is landscape and I need the "Auto-Rotate and Center" toggle to be checked on, but I don't know how to code that. This is what I have so far:

    send_reminder needs to be defined as an application process
    Alternatively, you can define a dynamic action and do this more declaratively.
    It's easy to define a DA that fires on click of a button that runs PL/SQL, and you can also define which page items are sent to and received from the plsql via session state.

    JS can not interact with open dialogs in any way, unless it's a dialog

  • SharePoint 2013 implement simple logout button which do not redirect to default sign out page using JavaScript client object model

    I am using windows authentication in my web application.
    My requirement is to implement a sign out button which will sign out the user without having him to close the browser and application should not ask him to login again.
    I tried following two options:
     1. Redirecting the user to default signout.aspx page " /_layouts/15/SignOut.aspx "
     2. Using "Sign In as a different user" URL " /_layouts/15/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true "
    In first case, user is redirected to default sign out page but he can press "Go Back to Site" link to revisit the site. Another major issue is that the user has to close the browser to sign out from the application completely, which is not desirable
    in my project requirement.
    In second case, the the current user is signed out of the application but if the user has saved the password in browser, he gets signed in automatically to the application.
    I also came across the solution where we replace the default sign out page with a custom sign out page, but I am not sure whether it can be implemented using JavaScript Client Object Model of SharePoint.
