Select list with entires contain HTMLname code (&nbsp)

soory i have already enter this information but it seems to be gone.
In Apex is the query for the select list define as:
SELECT to_char(acv_from,'dd.mm.yyyy')||' - ' ||nvl(to_char(acv_to,'dd.mm.yyyy'),'&nbsp;') d,
acv_id r
FROM ac_version where acv_reg_id= :P7_INF_REG_ID order by acv_from
APEX 3 generate following HTML code:
<select name="p_t09" size="1" id="P7_INF_SEL_TIME_PERIOD" onchange="document.getElementById('P7_INF_ACV_ID').value=document.getElementById('P7_INF_SEL_TIME_PERIOD').value;doSubmit('P7_INF_SEL_TIME_PERIOD'); ">
<option value="-1">- New Period -</option>
<option value="4928">27.11.2007 - 27.04.2009</option>
<option value="6121">28.04.2009 - 24.10.2009</option>
<option value="6827">25.10.2009 - 14.05.2010</option>
<option selected="selected" value="8405">15.05.2010 - &nbsp;</option>
</select>
APEX 4 generate following HTML code:
<select name="p_t09" id="P7_INF_SEL_TIME_PERIOD" size="1" onchange="document.getElementById('P7_INF_ACV_ID').value=document.getElementById('P7_INF_SEL_TIME_PERIOD').value;doSubmit('P7_INF_SEL_TIME_PERIOD'); "><option value="-1">- New Period -</option>
<option value="4928">27.11.2007 - 27.04.2009</option>
<option value="6121">28.04.2009 - 24.10.2009</option>
<option value="6827">25.10.2009 - 14.05.2010</option>
<option value="8405" selected="selected" >15.05.2010 &amp;nbsp;</option>
</select>
my question was who can i disable the substitution of the & to &amp;

Hi,
@user12002118: What is the purpose of
nvl(to_char(acv_to,'dd.mm.yyyy'),' ')I think the NVL isn't really necessary, because in the select list you will not see the blank anyway because it's the last character. Just remove the NVL and I think you should be fine. Or if you think you need it, just replace the with a real blank.
@Paul: In general a select list doesn't render any HTML tags. So a <strong> will never show a bold text. That's why we have decided that the output should always be escaped to prevent any XSS attacks but also to prevent that user data accidentally breaks the HTML code like with & or >. But I see the problem if someone wants to have protected blanks where he would have to use the HTML entity &nbsp; so that the browser really renders each single blank. But I think that it's a really rare case for a select list. But as always, there are two workarounds available:
1) Use your unicode trick
2) Add htf.escape_sc somewhere in your SQL statement. That could also be in a comment like /* htf.escape_sc */ Because in that case APEX thinks you are already taking care of escaping and doesn't do it's own escaping.

Select List with a Contains clause (oracle text)

Hi, I am trying to create a dynamic select list, but am running into problems using bind variables.
I am trying to do this:
select distinct country d, country r
from table1
where contains(:P6_LIST_VALUE,''''|| :P6_NAME||'''');
I keep getting the error: "LOV query is invalid, a display and return value are needed, the column names need to be different...."
If I hard code the :P6_LIST_VALUE to be 'NAME' (which is what I named my context index) it works fine:
where contains(name, ''''||:P6_NAME||'''');
Is there any way to get around this error?

anonymous - Please tell us your first name.
CONTAINS Operator
Syntax
CONTAINS(
[schema.]column,
text_query VARCHAR2
[,label NUMBER])
RETURN NUMBER;
So you can't use a bind variable for the column name, just like you can't do "SELECT :COL FROM DUAL".
Try &P6_LIST_VALUE. (with trailing period). This effects a textual substitution before the SQL is parsed.

Select list with pagination in Interfactive report

Hi all
Iam using apex 3.2.1.
iam using interactive report it contains 15 thousand records.By default only two options are there in interative report x to y and x to y of z pagination. it is very difficult to finding the particular range rows.
In Sql report select list with pagination and search engine (set based pagination) are provided.
i want to use those options in in my interactive report
i f any one knows about the solution please provide me information.
Thanks in advance

Dynamic select list with displaying a description

Hi,
I want to have a select List, my list refer to a lov, and the lov refer to a table contaning 2 columns : code and description,
The list must display only the code, but I want having an item beside the list dispaling the description....
I have used a select list with the query :
select code d, code r from prog_theme order by 1 desc
and Now : what is the way for displaying the description
Thanks!!
Lila

Ok, here goes the top down approach...
In the HTML header of my page, i have this reference to a js file containing the javascript - <script src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#108.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Then in an HTML Region I have the following code to create the divs that will be shown and hidden - <div id="divREGION" class="divs">Select region to get list of countries.</div>
<div id="divCOUNTRY" class="divs">Select country to get list of cities.</div>
<div id="divCITY" class="divs">Select city and then press "Get Employees". </div>
Note that these divs contain static content. You may be able to create dynamic content for these divs by creating dynamic query regions and putting div tags around the region (i havent tried this, it may require template modification).
The select boxes have this code in the "HTML form elements attributes" - onFocus="javascript:showHideDiv(this,true)" onBlur="javascript:showHideDiv(this,false)"
This onFocus and onBlur call the showHideDiv() function, passing in the object reference of the select box and a true/false to show/hide the related div.
The actual javascript function that is contained in the 108.js file is:
function showHideDiv(objThis, inBool){
     var divid = "div" + objThis.id.substring(3);
     if (inBool) {
     ShowDiv(divid);
     else {
HideDiv(divid);
That function in turn calls either the ShowDiv() or HideDiv() functions, depending on the true or false, passing in the ID of the div to be changed...
function ShowDiv(divid){
     eval('document.all'+ '["' + divid + '"]' + '.style' +'.display = "inline"');
function HideDiv(divid){
     eval('document.all'+ '["' + divid + '"]' + '.style' +'.display = "none"');
Hope this helps.

Select List with Redirect clears Foreign Key

I have two pages created by the Form wizard, a report and a form, with a Create button on the report page. When the Create button is pressed it passes a Foreign Key item using f?p syntax - stardard code, so far, so good, the form page works fine.
However, the form contains three Select List items, and the second and third ones need to be restricted by the value of the first one. That is, once they choose an Organization using the first Select List the second Select List should only show Groups that belong to that Organization. To do this, I have chosen the first Select List to be "Select List with Redirect". This does exactly what I want, restricting the values in the second and third items because the LOVs they are based on refer to the value of the first item in their where clauses.
This works fine when I edit an existing record, and also works if I create a new record but don't touch the value of the first Select List. The problem is that when there is no database record and the first Select List is changed, it wipes out the Foreign Key value that was passed - so the record cannot be saved. The url after redirection shows only a value for the item that was changed, and does not include the value of the Foreign Key item as it did when the Create button was pressed.
I cannot find anywhere to specify item/value pairs for the redirection url. So I have created a Computation which sets the value of the Foreign Key item and computes it Before Header, After Header or Before Region, etc. It sets the value, and Session State displays the value. Debug shows it being set, too. But the displayed field is empty in the region, and the record cannot be saved because the item has no value!
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? I suspect the processing of the region is overriding the computation. But I can't find a way around this. Any ideas?

Scott,
Sorry, my mistake - it's not a database column, and Alternate Source Used is set to "Only...". The problem is still occurring.
The tables are:
- Person - list of People
- Organization - list of Organizations
- Organization Role - Roles defined for each Organization, has foreign key to Organization
- Person Role - Assignment of a Person to an Organization Role, has foreign key to Organization Role and also to Person
I generated a report on Person with a link to a form on the table. When they press the edit icon, the form for the person comes up fine. Then I enable a series of tabs for that person - to edit addresses, phone numbers, etc. and carry the Person ID forward to each page.
On the Person Roles page, I generated a report that lists the roles that person is assigned to and a form to maintain the assignments. Pressing the edit button goes to the form to maintain the assignment, which works fine.
There is also a Create button to add a new assignment, which goes to the same form and clears the primary key of this table to create a new record. I also pass the Person ID in the url so that the new record can create the foreign key value to Person.
Now here's the problem. On the form to create or edit an assignment, there is a Select List to choose the Organization Role record that they are being assigned to. But this can be a long list, with the same role in several organizations, etc. So I want to allow them to first select the Organization, then select Roles in that Organization.
To do that, I created a new item on the page that is not a database column. It is defined as a Select List on Organization, and they can choose the Organization from the list. Then the select statement for the Organization Role LOV has a where clause that compares Organization ID against the value chosen by the user. To make this work, the page has to be updated when they choose a different Organization, so I made the Organization field a Select List with Redirect.
When I edit existing role assignments this works fine. As soon as I select a new Organization, the Organization Role Select List is updated and I can choose roles defined for that Organization. But when I create a new record (which passes in the Person ID in the url) and then choose an Organization, the Person ID is wiped out - and the record cannot be saved without this foreign key value.
After selecting an organization on a new record, the url shows that the page has been called with only the new value of Organization - so the Person ID is lost, because there is no database record to fetch and it is not passed to the page. And I cannot find a way to set the item/value pairs passed to the url when the redirect is performed.
I am displaying the Person ID for debugging purposes, and see it disappear if I set Display As to "Text", "Display as Text", "Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)" or "Display as Text (based on LOV, saves state)". Interestingly, even though the later saves state (I can see it in Session State), it still gets wiped out in the record - presumably because it's a database column and there is no record, and the value is "Always" going to update the session state.
Another interesting behavior: If I set the Person ID to display as a Select List, it remains. I think this is because I do not allow extra values or nulls, so it displays the first value in the list if there is no value. (I have only created one person so far in my testing, so I can't tell yet for sure if it changes. Will try that.)
Is this clear? I'm trying to get this application created in my workspace on htmldb.oracle.com (currently it's on my local database) but having problems creating the tables - unable to create initial extents. Hopefully, I'll have it up there soon and you can examine what I'm doing. I'll let you know when it's available.
Thanks for your help.

SELECT LIST WITH SUBMIT NOT POPULATING

I have 3 fields; They are ID, Shortname(PRIMARY KEY), Longname. Longname is a select list with submit based on an lov (called system_longname description) that has a return value of ID. I need to select a value (longname) from that list that will populate automatically the ID and Shortname fields. This is the code I'm using for ID and Shortname, which are both text boxes. The view VSYSTEMS is where the lov is getting it's values.
'SELECT ID FROM VSYSTEMS WHERE ID = :SYSTEM_LONGNAME DESCRIPTION';
'SELECT SHORTNAME FROM VSYSTEMS WHERE ID = :SYSTEM_LONGNAME DESCRIPTION';
Can anyone help me? I keep getting these error messages: invalid SQL statement or SQL command not properly ended.

Matthew,
Is this a follow-up to Automatic field population by selecting a LOV ?
What is the purpose of 'DESCRIPTION' at the end of each query?

Chart based on Select list with submit Lov problem

Hi,
I have one page with interactive report showing username with links, date and
database actions.
Another page contains one region having flash chart based on select list with submit Lov.
The lov is created by dynamic query.
Every time when i click the 1st page report link, the 2nd page lov is populating the value automatically. But the problem is chart displays NO DATA FOUND message though the LOV has many values.
I don't want to display any null values so set to NO for LOV
I tried to write Before header computation (PL/SQL Function Body) to set the lov value, but the query is displayed as such.
I don't want to assign any static default value also as the values are dynamic for every link.
The following is my Before header computation of Select list with submit (Item name is p11_schema). (PLSQL Function Body)
begin
if :p11_schema is null then
return 'select distinct owner schema1, owner schema2 from auditing
where access_date=' || :p11_access_date
|| ' and username=' || :p11_username
|| ' order by owner';
end if;
end;
This is my chart query.
select null link, obj_name label, sum(sel_count) "Select", sum(ins_count) "Insert", sum(upd_count) "Update", sum(del_count) "Delete" from auditing
where username=:p11_username
and access_date=:p11_access_date
and owner=NVL(:p11_schema, OWNER)
group by owner, obj_name
Example: If there more than one records in the lov, the graph should display the 1st record. When i select another record, the chart accordingly display the selected values. But inially it should not display "NO DATA FOUND" message.
I tried using all the combinations of computation type for the lov, SQL query ( I could not use if conditon then), PLSQL expression, PLSQL function body. But it does not work out.
Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your reply.
I found out the solution for this problem as below.
But i did it in different way to tackle the dynamic query wich returns more than one record using rownum always the 1st record when it is empty instead of assigning constant (static) value like '1'. And i am returning LOV itself for both null or not null condition as below.
Declare
q varchar2(4000);
begin
if :p11_schema is null then
q:='select distinct owner schema from auditing';
q:=q || ' where username=:p11_username ';
q:=q || ' and access_date=:p11_access_date ';
q:=q || ' and rownum<2 order by owner';
Execute immediate q into :p11_schema USING :p11_username, :p11_access_date;
end if;
return :P11_SCHEMA;
end;
Thanks.

Creating Select List with multiple columns

I want to create a select list with multiple columns. I followed the demo application model described in the by Denes Kubicek (Currently my reference for APEX !!)
The code is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getcrops(p_cropid IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
v_cropid VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fcode VARCHAR2 (400);
v_product VARCHAR2 (400);
v_var VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fname VARCHAR2 (400);
v_acres VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_start VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_end VARCHAR2 (400);
v_return VARCHAR2 (400);
BEGIN
FOR c IN (select "CROP"."CROPID" as "CROP ID",
     "CROP"."FIELDCODE" as "FIELD CODE",
     "CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTNAME" as "PRODUCT",
     "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" as "VARIETY",
     "FIELD"."FIELDNAME" as "FIELD NAME",
     "CROP"."SIZEINACRES" as "ACRES"
from     "FIELD" "FIELD",
     "CARROTPRODUCTLIST" "CARROTPRODUCTLIST",
     "VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",
     "CROP" "CROP"
where "CROP"."CARROTPRODUCTTYPE"="CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTID"
and     "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
and     "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID")
LOOP
v_cropid := TO_CHAR (c.'CROP ID', 'FML999G999G999G999G990');
v_fcode := c.'FIELD CODE';
v_product := c.'PRODUCT';
v_var := c.'VARIETY';
v_fname :=c.'FIELD NAME';
v_acres :=c.'ACRES';
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c."CROP ID")
LOOP
v_cropid := v_cropid || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'FIELD CODE')
LOOP
v_fcode := v_fcode || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'PRODUCT')
LOOP
v_product := v_product || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'VARIETY')
LOOP
v_var := v_var || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'FIELD NAME')
LOOP
v_fname := v_fname || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'ACRES')
LOOP
v_acres := v_acres || ' ';
END LOOP;
v_return := v_cropid || v_fcode || v_product || v_var || v_fname || v_acres;
END LOOP;
RETURN v_return;
END;
I created this anonymous Pl/SQL function at a application level ..Then I followed up to create a select list with a function inside. However I could not create select list with the command suggested in the demo which is
select getcrops(cropid) d, cropid r from crop;
APEX (2.1) returns a error message. What am I missing ? Should the function be called from somewhere else after creating a regular select list..? Where the functions (Pl/SQL) should be ideally stored for application level access..? and for across application level access ? How can I check the function works good. Help is appreciated.

Still really one column.
If they need to be independent then you've got to have three selection lists.

Dynamic select list with display,return val & join condition issue.

hello,
I am having a dynamic select list with display, return value
say for example my select statement is
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt
right join emp e on (e.deptno=dt.deptno)
where (condition)
when i tried this query for my select list, it is not working. It saying that
" LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query. "
I am not able to understand the problem. Can anyone help me out with this issue?
thanks.

Shouldn't your join have dept as the driving table?
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt
right join emp e on (dt.deptno = e.deptno)
where (condition)
Or using older Oracle standard join
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt, emp e
where (dt.deptno (+) = e.deptno) AND (OTHER WHERE condition)
OR
(Since a right join is just getting the values from the driving table that are NOT in the associated table)
select distinct dname d, deptno r
from dept dt
WHERE dt deptno NOT IN (SELECT deptno FROM emp) AND (OTHER where condition)
Thank you,

Javascript / Select List with Submit problems

I have a page (page 3) where I can either edit or create a record. If I am editing a record, the data loads on page 3 via a PL/SQL block. On page 3, I have a textual item with Javascript linked to it which pops up a new window. In the Javascript, I am passing three values to the next page. Two of those values (P3_ITEM1, P3_ITEM2) are 'Select List with Submit'. If I am creating a new record from page 3, the Javascript works fine and the popup window comes up when I click on the textual item. However, if I am editing an existing record, I get an error when I click on my textual link. Looking at the address bar, it is not passing the value of P3_ITEM1 and P3_ITEM2 to the next page. It does, however, pass the value of P3_ITEM3 (not a 'Select List with Submit') to the next page. Again, the Javascript popup works fine if I use the 'Select List with Submit' fields to populate P3_ITEM1 and P3_ITEM2 (i.e. if I submit those fields) and it does not work if P3_ITEM1 and P3_ITEM2 are already populated when page 3 loads (i.e. if I do not submit those fields). Looking at the session variables, it appears as though P3_ITEM1 and P3_ITEM2 are set prior to clicking the link which initiates the Javascript. However, the URL in the popup window says the value of those fields is 'undefined'. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to make this work or why it is not working? Thanks.

Hello Chris,
It seems like you are having some problem with setting/reading session state, but it’s really hard to pin point the problem without seeing any code. Can you post your two pages on apex.oracle.com?

Select list with bind variable does not work

Hi,
What can be wrong with a 'select list' with the a simple select
select omschrijving o, id i
from basiscodes b
where domein = 'OPTIES'
and b.id in
(select eo.basiscode_id from evenementen_opties eo
where eo.event_id = :P16_ID)
The :P16_ID has a value and should give result
But it does not work at all with 'select list'
Using the POPUP LOV (display discription, return key value) works nice
The select retuns less then 10 records

Hi Flavio,
As I explained, the P16_ID is an item of the master page (page 16)
In Page 18 where I want to reuse that value, the item is not there, but I use it to assign
P18_EVENT_ID with the value in P16_ID and that works fine.
In an after submit process, I do this :
declare
function get_pk return varchar2
is
begin
for c1 in (select EVENEMENT_INSCHRIJVING_SEQ.nextval next_val
from dual)
loop
return c1.next_val;
end loop;
end;
begin
:P18_ID := get_pk;
:P18_EVENT_ID := :P16_ID;
:P18_CREATIE_DT := TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS');
:P18_CREATIE_USER := APEX_APPLICATION.G_USER;
end;
The value P16_ID is there before I open page 18
I made a display item that displays the value P16_ID
If I change the LOV select in :
select b.omschrijving o, b.id i
from basiscodes b
, evenementen_opties eo
where b.domein = 'OPTIES'
and b.id = eo.basiscode_id
and eo.event_id = 16
then it returns the value I want : 1 record
You see, I'm a really new one in apex.
Forms 6i was easier for me...

Hello Larry,
You can use a select list with submit and create a branch to the page you want to go to.
Hope that helps.

Select List with Submit - Branch Error - form data does not save

I am a new APEX user so please excuse my ignorance. I have created a simple application in which a primary data entry form branches either to a detail form (one to many on the parent ID) or a master tabular report used for navigation. These branches work fine. Then I tried to get a little fancy with a conditionally displayed element based on the value the user selects in a select list on the main form(P9_REPORT_TYPE). I converted the select list to a select list with submit and created a new branch (on submit - after processing) to the current page (Page 9) to avoid the "no branch found" error. To avoid the branch being unconditional, I tried to use the 'Request = Expression1' condition with the Expression 1 field set to P9_REPORT_TYPE. The behavior I get is that the page seems to submit but the data on the form is not saved -- even the new value selected in P9_REPORT_TYPE reverts to the old value. I simply need the page data to submit so that the conditionally displayed element will take effect (which it does if you use one of the other button-based branches and then return to the form). Do I have the syntax wrong? It seems like this should be straightforward but I've tried a number of options including using a PL/SQL condition V('REQUEST')='P9_REPORT_TYPE' with no success. I'm guessing that the value of Request is getting cleared before it has a chance to trigger the branch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Exactly so! Thanks Scott for setting me straight. For the benefit of other readers, the value in the Source Used column had been set to "Always, replacing any existing value in session state" and should have been set to "Only when current value in session state is null".

Can we have the 'select list with submit' type within a tabular form?

An item can be the "Select list with submit' type so a form has no problem with it. However, when I built a tabular form manually, I couldn't find this type. There are only three types avaiable: "named", "static", and "dynamic".
Is it possible to have the "submit" type so columns of the tabular form can be dynamically rendered based on the user inputs?
Another question I have is how to dynamically build the tabular form with decode func. For example, if the value of col_1 is 'val_1', then build a select list in col_2; otherwise null in col_2.
I tried to use
select col1,
decode (col1, 'val_1', select htmldb_item.select_list_from_lov(2, first, 'lov1') from dual, null)
from....
where....
But it didn't work.
I'd like to know whether it's feasible to have something like that.
TIA.

You could use a region of type PL/SQL function
returning SQL query to dynamically build this kind of
tabular form. However if you want to use the built-in
multi-row insert, update and delete processes, all
items in a column must have the same display type. Marc, thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it.
I got your idea. However, I need to have the javascript 'ToggleAll' as the heading so the form works as same as the built-in one. If I put the query definition into a pl/sql procedure, where I can put this html tab attribute? It can not be inside the checkbox function, otherwise the checkbox of any row would act as same as the header.
I hope I've made this clear.
To Vikas: It's our clients who want this, not us. :(

Select list with entires contain HTMLname code (&nbsp)
