Resizable Fields on Tabular Form ?

Hi,
I have a requirement which needs a form to have resizable fields i.e. allow a user to drag and drop or resize the field width with a mouse. Is it possible ? ; and if so, can anyone please explain as to how it could be done.
I was searching the forum and understood that this could be done but could not quite understand HOW !!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hilal.

In Client Server you can use the mouse triggers to do this. Check out the forms 6i demos for the drag and drop sample.
On the Web you might be able to do it with a PJC.

Link for field in tabular form

Hi everyone,
How can you create add a link (which opens a pop up screen) next to a field in a tabular form, in order to set the value in that field with the value
selected in the pop up screen.
I already know how to set the values.
In the tabular form when you add a link, you see the id and row also. How can I remove that or is there another way to set the values.
Thanks,
Cleo

I think you can accomplish what you want by changing the the field to update from text to a popup lov. You can do this by going into the report attributes of the tabular form and then clicking the pencil next to the field who needs the lookup values. Change the 'display as' box from text to popup lov and supply the values.
You can also hide fields by going into the report attributes and unchecking Show.
There is an overview of some concepts here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13363/frm_tabular.htm.
Let me know if I'm not understanding your post correctly.

Validate field in tabular forms apex 4.2

Hi.
i need help doing next validations :
1.- i have a product_item field (wich is a lov and user choose one value), so i need to call a function (sending it the selected value product_item) that will return me some data about the product i selected, for example :
if the function return 'A' then
disable the next item on tabular form, lets say quantity
else
enable the next item on tabular form, lets say quantity
end if
2.- i need to determine the result of two items operations:
total := final_quantity - start_quantity
the user will introduce start and final quantity and i will determine the total.
any ideas ?
i am new on apex and need to do this on tabular forms.
thanks in advance.

Thomas,
Is this a standard APEX tabular form validation, or a custom PL/SQL based validation? It might be easiest to diagnose what's going on there, if you could replicate this issue on apex.oracle.com, and point us to an example.
Thanks,
Marc

Initializing the date field in tabular form

i m creating one time sheet application. in that i hv created one tabular form to take timesheet entries. current_date attribute is one of them. the problem is that i want to initialize the current date with the sysdate as the form loads and then afterwards the user can edit the date using the calendar if he wishes to. the current_date type is date picker.
but the before header for computations is not showing thhe item and process is not allowing to create any pl/sql block..can any1 help me?

In the source of the column use PL/SQL Expression or Function and put there
SYSDATE (include some formating if you want). This will set the default value of the
field to what you want once you add new rows.

Display null text field in tabular form

Seems too simple to ask in this forum but I know how to display null for a select list but how can I have a text field display blank instead of '(null)' in a tabular form?

Hi,
Go edit report attributes and check that attribute "Show Null Values as" do not have any value.

Updating fields on Tabular Forms created with wizards

I have created a Tabular Form using the creation wizard in version 2.0.
When we update database records, we always place a date and a user ID into the record to track the last time updated.
In HTML-DB I typically create an "After Submit" process called "Set Hidden" which updates my items LAST_UPDATE_DATE and LAST_UPDATED_BY.
This works great on non-Tabular forms when I am dealing with one record at a time.
How do I do this on a multi-row tabular form?
Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I assumed a basic familiarity with Oracle and HTML DB development concepts
1. "v" is a HTML DB function to read session state
2. v('APP_USER') will give you the authenticated username of the current session
3. For some reason, if that is blank, the NVL will evaluate to USER which is a builtin Oracle keyword just like SYSDATE. USER evaluates to the userid for the currently connected Oracle user (typically HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER)
4. FOO is the function which will take the username and convert it to the internal id you seem to want.
5. NVL is a function that evaluates both its arguments and returns the first non-null expression.

Use Javascript to disable fields in tabular form built by wizard

i know this type of disable question has been asked before and i have searched the forum thoroughly but the solutions always seem to be for items i.e P1_NAME and i do not have these as my form is built by a select statement
i have worked out the syntax (i think)
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function desactiverElement(item)
var x = document.getElementById(item);
if (x)
x.disabled = true;
</script>
to disable and think it goes in the html header or a html region before footer but i cannot work out how to disable the field because i cannot work out how to reference them
i.e get the value for 'item' in the code
any help i would be extremely grateful for
cheers Chris

the CENTRE_NO field has to be unique , and when i am doing my validation check ,if the user amends the field by accident and then replaces the value it gets an error when it shouldn't
wish it was as simple as forms just change property to update_allowed = false !!

Null Validation in Tabular Form in APEX 4.2.2

Hi to all respected Gurus of this Forum!
Recently downloaded APEX 4.2.2. As we know that this version has some improved features and one is the best is i.e. *"Validation on Tabular Form".*
For test purpose I succeeded to apply validation on field of tabular form and I am not allowed to "SUBMIT" data as per Validation Rule.
But now, I want to customize that validation as per below logic.
If required field is null than a message-box should appear with two buttons , as under:
Blank field not allowed. Do you really want to submit? (Buttons should be = YES NO)
If user press "YES" then validation should be false and record should be saved
AND
If user press "NO" then no data should be submitted/inserted as per validation logic.
Please help. Your as usual cooperation is highly appreciated in advance.

Hello Sabine,
>> I read about enhanced validation in 4.1 and would love to get rid of g_f-programming.
The major “trick” is to associate the validation/process with a Tabular Form. On the first screen of both wizards, the first field is Tabular Form. You must select the tabular form on your page (currently there can be only one. In future versions this will change).
Another factor that might influence the behavior of Tabular Form validation/process is the new attribute of Execution Scope. Unfortunately, you must enter Edit mode to gain access to this attribute (i.e., it can’t be set directly from the Tabular Form create wizard). Set it according to your need.
The rest is very simple. You should treat your Tabular Form as a simple form, where every column header stands for a form item. The following is a very simple example of validating the SAL column:
if :SAL < 1500 then
return 'Sal Value is under 1500';
else
return null;
end if;In this validation I’m using the Function Returning Error Text type.

Arie.

Hi,
You can do this by using a small java script
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>Here P2_Text is the text box whose value I am enabling or disabling based on the selected value from a List box. On The list box I have onChange="javascript:FldEnableDisable(this.value)" ( You can specify this under HTML Form Element Attributes)

Dependent LOV in Tabular Form

All,
We are developing an application where we come across requirement to have two fields in tabular form and both are required to have LOV. But the issue is the second field LOV in the tabular form is dependent on first field value.
ex: Assume first field is "Country" and second field is "Cities", when user selects first field country as "US", then we have to populate list of citiies in "US" for that row. And if the user selects country as "UK" for the second row, we have to populate second field (city) with list of citieis in "UK".
We are unable to achieve this functionality and any help/pointers would be highly appreciated.

Hi Ram,
Please have a look at this example by Denes Kubicek

I was able to achieve the cascading LOV functionality based on the above example.

Unable to pass a parameter to a field in a tabular form.

I created a tabular form with 2.0 using the wizard. Im having issues though with 2 of my columns.
The two columns are last_edit_user and last_edit_date. As you can tell Im trying to pass the system date and :app_user to these two fields.
I read this thread Default Value in Tabular Form and decided to create a simple function on the database that returns the system date. Then under report attributes I went to the last_edit_date column. In Tabular Form Element I changed it to Display as Text (saves state) made the default type a PL/SQL expression or function then put the function name in the default text field.
When I try to update a field I then get:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-01407: cannot update
I have also tried creating a computation and passing the date to a hidden item then use default type item and list the hidden item in the default text box. I get the same error.
Considering how often these fields or similar would come up in a tabular form I cant help but think there must be an easy way of passing parameters to fields in a tabular form without making them editable.

This keeps coming up often and I find that the easiest way to handle this is in a row-level trigger on the underlying table
create or replace trigger t
before insert or update on mytable
for each row
begin
:new.last_update_date := sysdate;
:new.last_update_user := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
end;

Sum the values of a text field in a tabular form using JavaScript

Hi Folks.
OK, I put my hands up. I don't know Java script but I'm picking up the basics and I WANT to learn.
Here's my situation.
I have a tabular form which has lots of Standard Report Columns and ONE text field.
I want to sum the values entered in the text field, real time, using Java Script without the need to have a round trip to the database.
I'm guessing this will involve some kind of loop. Once I have that SUM figure I will store it in a hidden item and it will be used for validation when the user submits the form.
If anyone can give me a simple Java Script to do this, or point me in the direction of one, I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks.
Dogfighter.

Hi Arie.
Thanks for the link.
That's a great start,
What I've got working so far is the following...
<script type="text/javascript">
function f_calculate_delta(p_this,p_rownum)
var amt = $x(p_this).value;
alert (amt);
var display_item_to_set = 'f08_'+ p_rownum
$x(display_item_to_set).innerHTML = amt
</script>
This is working fine.
Where I'm stuck at the moment is how I can 'get' the value of another cell in the same row. They have all been set up using the APEX_ITEM API with their own unique IDs.
I will continue looking but if you could give me a steer, that would be great.
Many thanks
Simon
PS. APEX 3.1
PPS. Trying to get the value of another row using...
var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
var expected_amt = $x(display_item_to_get).value
PPPS. Also tried...
var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
var expected_amt = $v(display_item_to_get)
and
var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
var expected_amt = $v(display_item_to_get).value
None of which are working at the moment.
