Report column headings and title tag

Is there a way to add a title tag (similar to the alt tag for images) to my report column headings, so that when I hover over the column headings I get a description of the column?

I found a solution here:
Title= Attribute for report column headings

  • Interactive Report Column Headings and Row Height

    I am using the div style="width:350px;" method to control the width of columns in various interactive reports. That works fine except for the following:
    1. When creating filters, the <div...> stuff shows up along with the actual column heading, thus confusing some end users
    2. Even when I uncheck the "Use same text for single row view" checkbox and then provide a simple single row view label, the <div> stuff still shows up on the single row view
    Does anyone have a better solution?
    Also, does anyone know of a way to limit the row height within an interactive report row? I have some columns of data that contain a large amount of HTML data and I'd like to be able to limit the number of rows that show on the report.
    Is Oracle planning to provide some better control over the Interactive Report columns in another version? The Interactive Report is such a huge improvement in usability in APEX - it would be great to take it to another level by providing some better control over column width and row height.

    Dale,
    Unfortunately we don't have much we can use to do what you would like. I would have said it's impossible until version 4 but you could actually do something similar to what Roel has done. His trick is in the edit button. He changed the edit button to use an "onload" call to a JavaScript process. You could do the same but call a process that goes across the rows and styles each column. Now because you don't have a way to identify the column (can't use the order because the end user could change it) you'll have to write the code to look at the top row first and then style the appropriate column. As far as I can tell, this would be quite difficult and inefficient. Having said that if you need it that bad and would like some help with it, put up an example application on apex.oracle.com and provide the workspace/username/password and I'll take a look.

  • Title= Attribute for report column headings

    Hi All,
    Is there anywhere we can specify the "title=" attribute for each of the report column headings. Unfortunately we are on Apex 2.0
    This is to facilitate the use of screen readers, and I can see nowhere this can be entered.
    We can use an anchor tag in the heading field of the column attributes which is fine such as <a title="test indicator indicator">TST </a>
    But if we apply a sort to this field, the Sort doesn't work.
    Thanks,
    Noel

    Hi Noel,
    You need to change the column heading to wrap the text in a tag that has the title attribute.
    For example, if you had a column called Name, change this to &lt;span title="Name"&gt;Name&lt;/span&gt;.
    Column sorting will still work.
    Regards
    Andy

  • Tooltips for report column headings

    Hello,
    I have a normal report, and I wanted to have either a tooltip or a cluetip for the report column headings. Can anyone please help me with this issue.
    thanks,
    orton

    Hi!
    One way would be to adjust the report template. But this is quite difficult if you haven't done this before.
    Maybe this forum post helps: Re: oracle apex and extjs grid table
    Hmm on the other side why don't you just add some html tags inside the report column headers? I would suggest this example: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=25110:5
    &lt;span TITLE="header=[Help] body=[Helptext]";>YOUR COLUMN HEADER&lt;/span>Best regards,

  • Javascript in report column headings?

    Hello,
    I'm wondering if it's possible to be able to use Javascript in report column headings, so that when the user hovers the mouse over the column heading name in the report, a pop-up appears with an explanation of what that column is. Usually I use Javascript on page items, but in this case, the column headings aren't page items, they are derived from the SELECT statement that makes the report. Is this possible using Javascript? Or, is there something I'm not aware of that Apex can do, such as the "Optional Label with Help" but for column heading names?
    Thank you,
    Laura

    Hello Laura,
    Each report column headings has an ID equal to the column name/alias as it appears in your select statement. You can use this ID to directly access the column header DOM node, just as you are doing with a page item.
    In your case, you can use the ‘title’ attribute to get what you want. If your column ID is ‘COL1’, you can use something like this in the footer of your report region:
    $x(‘COL1’).title = ‘Help Text’;Of course, having an ID allows you to use any JavaScript code you need.
    Hope this helps,
    Arie.

  • How to add src, alt and title tags to a PS generated Web Photo Gallery

    I do some web design and need to add some tags to a web photo gallery created by Photoshop. Maybe this question should be directed to the GoLive / Dreamweaver Forum but since the gallery was created in PS I thought I'd start here.
    I need to add src, alt and title tags to the images in the web gallery. Normally this is as simple as working on the code in the html page in which the image sits but the PS gallery doesn't seem to be that simple.
    Can anyone tell me exactly how, and which files I need to work on, to add these tags to each of my 42 gallery images?
    Thanks.
    John.

    You can't do it in Photoshop.
    You can open the pages in a text editor adn easily ad any tags you want. They are simply html pages.
    If you really want to, you can use Dreamweaver or Golive. Using a text editor is generally faster and easier because you can just copy/paste between the files and not have to worry about code rewriting in the WYSIWYG applications. Don't believe the GoLive/Dreamweaver hype about "round trip code" they both will alter code.

  • Trying to add img scr, alt and title tags to a Photoshop created web gallery.

    I need to add some tags to a web photo gallery created by Photoshop. I've posted the same question in the PS Forum just in case.
    I need to add img src, alt and title tags to the images in the web gallery. Normally this is as simple as working on the code in the html page in which the image sits but the PS gallery doesn't seem to be that simple. I'm not sure exactly what file to put these tags in.
    Can anyone tell me exactly how, and which files I need to work on, to add these tags to each of my 42 gallery images?
    Thanks.
    John.

    The gallery is a mess and I might just rebuilt it using something else like Jalbum, but here it is: http://thewoodshopmalvern.com/ThumbnailGallery/index.htm
    Yes, I'm sorry, I'm trying to add ATTRIBUTES to the <img> tag.
    For the rest of the site I have simply gone to each of the html pages and updated the code itself - pretty straightforward. But PS seems to use Javascript in making this gallery and unfortunately I just don't know enough about Java to understand exactly where I need to add these attributes.

  • Report Column Headings based on SQL Query

    Hi ,
    I am working on creating a SQL query based report. However, my column headers for this report are stored in a table and hence, I need the column headers to be based on a sql query also.
    Can you give me some pointers on how to do this ?
    Thanks!
    Lavanya

    Lavanya,
    The report column attributes page has a radiogroup of column heading types. One lets you specify a PL/SQL function that returns the headings.

  • Including item names in report column headings

    I have a report where I want to use page items in the column headings. Trying to define these using (for example) &P1_ITEM. in the report definition / custom heading does not seem to work. I can define a simple PL/SQL function to return the heading, but I have many columns and it will mean that I'll have to define a function for each column name which does not seem v elegant. Am I missing something obvious?
    Thanks Simon

  • Many report columns (70+) and ORA-06502 (Small char buffer)

    Hello!
    I have a big problem with my few tables and Oracle APEX. I have 2 big tables with 75 and 108 columns and If i try to translate a column headings in report (tabular form) that appear a ORA-06502 Error (Small char buffer). If i don't change column order and headings that all ok.
    I thought that it beacuse of incorrect columns datatype but if i set column heading in report to "None" or if i set to null part of column heading (30-40%) that all be ok with report.
    This problem not appear with other more small tables

  • Clasical Report column headings display

    Hi ABAPERS
        iam working on clasical report. in that i have to display 16 field headings.
    when executing the report, the column headers should be frozen at the top so that when the user is scrolling down, they can see what the column title is.
    how can i over come this problem.

    Hi,
    you mean the column headings should be displayed even though
    the user scrolls down the output.
    For classical reports, according to me it is not possible.
    We will be using the write statement to display the records,
    so it is static for the report.
    If you want the output what you are expecting then go for ALV's.

  • Changing ALT and Title Tags for Book and Page  Icons

    Hi folks,
    Are you aware of any setting in Robo Help that would allow
    you to modify or even remove the ALT and titles introduced for the
    Book and and Page icons displayed on the navigation pane. I tried
    deleting it from the RoboHHRE.lng file, but still its not going
    away. Other than deleting it from the rendered files (whlstt0.htm)
    is there any other setting within RoboHelp that would do the trick.
    My idea is to remove all ALT and title attributes given to Book and
    Pages as its causing too much redundancy.
    Regards,
    Prabhat

    Hi Prabhat -
    Apologies for the delayed response: while there is no
    Robohelp checkbox for removing this, you can step into the
    generated files and remove it. This thread should provide what

  • BUG: Dynamic report column headings not working with some templates

    Using Apex 2.0, we are trying to create a vertical report with dynamic labels like &P26_REF_RECEIVED_DATE_L. based on items populated by PL/SQL.
    This seems to work fine for some templates but not for others. With a horizontal report template we get output like:
    <th class="t4ReportHeader" id="REF_RECEIVED_DATE">Received</th>
    <td  headers="Received" class="t4data">29-MAR-2007</td>But with the vertical template we get:
    <th>&P26_REF_RECEIVED_DATE_L.</th><td>29-MAR-2007</td>Also, if we use "default: vertical report, look 1" we see "&P26_REF_RECEIVED_DATE_L." in the output, but with "default: vertical report, look 2" we see "Received".

    have you checked that your report template has a
    valid value for the "Column Heading Template"
    property?This template has nothing in the "Column Heading Template" because it is designed to show the data in this form:
    Heading1 - Value1
    Heading2 - Value2
    Heading3 - Value3
    Hence both the heading and the data appear in the "Column Template 1" property as follows:
    <tr><th class="t3header">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th><td class="t3data">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td></tr>
    Maybe it is an Apex limitation that the #COLUMN_HEADER# value can't be accessed from this subtemplate? Yet somehow it works with "default: vertical report, look 2" (which I realise isn't a template as such).

  • Combining two reports with headings and body into one

    I currently have two seperate XML reports for Oracle projects. One report prints out all the Labor information. One prints out Expense information. The users want those two reports married into one. So if there was Labor data in the XML that would report would print first, break to a new page and Expense data in the XML the second report would print.
    I have that working. Now what I need to find out how is how not to print anything if, for example, the XML had no Labor data. The way I have it configured now, even if no Labor data it is still printing the headings for the Labor.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Thanks Vetsrini,
    The report has parameters of project number and draft invoice number. The XML has always had both labor and expense on it.I orginally created 2 templates. One that only picked up labor and one that only picked up expense.
    Now they want to just run one report and if both labor and expense print both out on same report, but seperating them.
    BI Publisher 5.6.3
    27459.xml is an example of xml that has no labor on it. just expense. so would just want the expense to print but the labor headers are showing up.
    27267_Invoice1_Labor2.xml is an example of xml that has both labor and expense.
    I you can look at that would be great.
    How do I paste? Can I just email you?
    Thanks!
