Selecting values in drop down list

Iam trying to create the drop down list. I got some programs, creating these lists for both parameter and ranges on the selection screen using 'VRM_SET_VALUES' . What the user wants is when the selection screen is loaded, he wants to select from the list OR ENTER ANY DATA WHICH IS NOT THERE IN THE LIST. To be able enter any data other than what is there in the list is not working for me.
plz help its urgent

Do you want to do it clientside (DHTML/JS/DOM) or serverside (JSP/JSTL)? This is easy to do clientside, but as you're asking this issue in a JSP/JSTL forum ..

How to capture selected value from drop down by index

Dear friends,
i want to capture the value of select value from drop down by index, for eg if select air france, how to capture , could any one please let me know
Thanks
Vijaya

Hi Vijaya,
You can get the value of selected from drop down as below
Check out the event handler method attached to Onselect event of the ui element drop down by index , if no event is associated, then create an event and attach to the drop down list
Now you will be having the CONTEXT_ELEMENT in the WDEVENT parameter
               data lo_element type ref to if_wd_context_element.
               lo_element = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT').
Now, you can get the static attribute value of selected drop down value & let us say your drop down list values are populated from context node 'ND_DRP_DOWN'
               data ls_data type wd_this->element_nd_drp_down.
                         lo_element->get_static_attributes(
                                   importing
                                   static_attributes = ls_data ).
Hope this helps you.

Preselected values in drop-down lists

Hi everyone,
Some quick background before stating the issue: I've
developed a set of forms in ASP.NET working with a SQL Server 2000
db where my client can add, edit, and search records within their
intranet. When adding a record, they are making some selections
from a drop-down list where the values are dynamically populated
from a lookup table. There are three sections to the form and each
section gets its values from a different table. When editing a
record, the drop-down lists should show all the choices but
prepopulate the list with their earlier selection.
Here's the issue: everything is working just fine on my box
and is working 90% on my client's server. The problem is that when
editing a record, two of the three sections of the form are showing
the correct values. The third section is showing the first choice
in the drop-down list rather than what was recorded in the db.
Again, this is not happening in my development environment.
It's only happening on my client's environment. I've triple-checked
the code and confirmed that the datatypes in their tables match
what I've got set up in my db. The fact that these pages are behind
my client's firewall make the usual trial and error kind of
troubleshooting very difficult.
This is very mysterious. Any suggestions for what I can check
and how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks.

In case anyone else comes across this problem, it seems that
deleting and recreating the table solved the problem. I renamed the
original table and compared it to the one I recreated and they
appear to be identical but nevertheless that was the
solution.

How to set a default value in a Value Help Drop Down List

Hi,
I used an age Range field in my adobe form, the control is a Value Help Drop Down List. i am populating the drop down using following code.
IWDAttributeInfo ageInfo = wdContext.nodePersonalData().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("CTAgeRange");
     ISimpleTypeModifiable ageType = ageInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
     IModifiableSimpleValueSet ageValueSet = ageType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
     ageValueSet.put("1","21-29");
     ageValueSet.put("2","30-34");
     ageValueSet.put("3","35 or Above");
My requirement is to set a default value e.g. 30-34 in the age range field.
I want to give input to iform from my Implementation code only.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

hi Ranjan,
that means you have to set at design time,
to set default drop down value you will have to set the value for particular attribute (which is linked to the dropdown element) in the context
like
wdContext.currentContext<nodeName>Element.set<FieldName>(<default value>)
This generally done in Initialization method of the controller.

Create a drop down list that populates based on the selection form another drop down list.

I need to set up a drop down list that is popualated (i.e. displays a certain list of selctions in the drop down list) based on the choise the form user selects in an adjacent List
For example
There are two drop down list field sitting side by side in the form
1. Select State 2. Select Course
What I want to do is have a list of states in the first drop down list (1.Select State) and depending on which state the form user selects , the second drop down list (2.Select Course) will populate with a selction of courses available in that selected state only (i.e. it will on;y show course available in QLD if QLD is selcted).
Is this hard to do?

Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms

Hi,
We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
Please provide suitable answers.

Using getElementById() to get values from drop down list

Hi, I am using Netbeans to write this program. I have this .java page that gets the url of the HtmlPage from the .properties page. And when this page is opened in the browser, there are drop down lists that have values I want to get from the user when he/she has selected, and save it to a database. I'm actually using mozilla firefox to open this page, and using firebug to inspect the drop down list element.
I know getElementById is a javascript code, however, my friend told me to use it in the .java page. This is how part of my code looks like. What I'm not sure is how to implement getElementById() and where.
HtmlPage pageMain =EBPage;
WebRequest postRequestSettings = new WebRequest(
new URL(getProperties("trustAdmin")), HttpMethod.POST);
*// Set the request parameters*
postRequestSettings.setRequestParameters(new ArrayList());
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("component", "edit"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("formids", "unixTime,instance,time,description,message"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("page", "Status"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("service", "direct"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("session", "T"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("submitmode", "submit"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("submitname", ""));
*// Insert instance of message here*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("instance", instance));
*// Insert content of message here*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("message", message));
*// Insert description of message here*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("description", description));
*// Insert time of message here*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("time", time));
*// Convert time to unix seconds*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("unixTime", String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000)));
HtmlPage newPage1 = pageMain.getWebClient().getPage(postRequestSettings);
WebRequest requestSettings = new WebRequest(
new URL("http://www.google.com"), HttpMethod.GET);
requestSettings.setRequestParameters(new ArrayList());
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("page", "Preview"));
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("service", "page"));
newPage1 = newPage1.getWebClient().getPage(requestSettings);
And I'm told to insert page.getElementById() in the place shown below:
HtmlPage page = null;
page.getElementById()_
*try {*
*// Login proxy*
page = (HtmlPage) jsonBrowser.getPage(getProperties("jsonBrowser"));
String proxyUrl = page.getForms().get(0).getAttribute("action");
System.out.println("Proxy Url" + proxyUrl);
WebRequest requestSettings = new WebRequest(
new URL(proxyUrl), HttpMethod.POST);
requestSettings.setRequestParameters(new ArrayList());
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("PROXY_SG_PASSWORD", password));
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("PROXY_SG_PRIVATE_CHALLENGE_STATE", ""));
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("PROXY_SG_REQUEST_ID", ""));
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("PROXY_SG_USERNAME", userID));
*// Get the page*
page = page.getWebClient().getPage(requestSettings);
Logger.getLogger(postTrustMessage.class.getName()).log(Level.INFO, "===================================Login in Trust");
Logger.getLogger(postTrustMessage.class.getName()).log(Level.INFO, page.getWebResponse().getContentAsString());
*} catch (IOException ex) {*
Logger.getLogger(postTrustMessage.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
*} catch (FailingHttpStatusCodeException ex) {*
Logger.getLogger(postTrustMessage.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return page;
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How to show first parameter value in drop down list as a default value dynamically in ssrs report?

Hi,
in my ssrs report i have two parameters, accounts and Manager ,there is a cascading between the accounts parameter and manager parameter, as per the cascading we will get managers names based on the account we selected in the accounts parameter,
my requirement is the first name in the mangers drop down list has to get selected as default value.
please help me with this, it is an urgent requirement.
Thanks in advance,
Naveen

Hi NaveenMSBI,
According to your description, you want to use cascading parameters in the report, if the accounts are selected when you preview the report, the first manager name will be selected from drop down list as the default value. If so, there can be two scenarios:
• If manager is single-valued parameter, we can get Available Values and Default Values from the same query as below. Then when the accounts are selected, the first manager name will be selected as default value.
SELECT managerName FROM table_name WHERE accounts IN (@accounts)
• If manager is multi-valued parameter, we need to use different query for Available Values and Default Values. In this case, please refer to Patrick’s solution.
For more information about Adding Cascading Parameters, please refer to the following document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337498(v=sql.105).aspx
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Detail region does not refresh when selecting from a drop-down list in master region

I am using DW CS3 and have updated to version 1.6.1 of Spry. Using an XML dataset, I am able to create a Spry table as the master region that links to a detail region that displays a small JPG graphic. It works fine in this format (clicking on a row displays the correct graphic). However, my table has 80 rows and requires the user to do too much scrolling. So I changed the master region to a drop-down repeat list, but the graphic does not change when a new selection is made in the drop down list. Listed below is the code produced when I used the insert Spry Repeat List. I got the same results when adding a spry:setrow="dsChartNurse". I also tried -- onclick="dsChartNurse.setCurrentRow('{ds_RowID}');" -- which again made no difference.
When I removed children from the spry:repeat, the master region displayed as a two column list of all 80 items in a drop-down list format.
<div spry:region="dsChartNurse">
       <select name="select" spry:repeatchildren="dsChartNurse">
         <option value="{name}">{name}</option>
       </select>
</div>
<div id="image" spry:detailregion="dsChartNurse">
   <img src="{dataimage}" align="center" style="margin:50px 0 0 0"width="320" height="164" />
</div>
Thanks so much to anyone who can help correct my code in order to have a drop-down list display information correctly in the detail region.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did solve the problem I was having by changing from onclick to onchange in the master region. But, now I have another problem with, of course, IE. I just put in online at http://www.minursemap.org/ageDistNurse.html. When opened in IE, the drop down list displays the last entry, but the image is for the first in the list. Thanks again for your help.

Using selected items from drop-down list in rest of page

Hi,
I hope I'm able to describe clearly what's the problem.
So I'm implementing a form for the moment. It contains a drop-down list. The user has to select one item from it and as a result another drop-down list on the same page needs to be filled with a couple of options. I wanna do this without refreshing the page, cos else I have to retrieve all the values from boxes that were allready filled in. Is it possible?
Greetings,
Raf

This cn be done with javascript. But you need to cache the data on first load of your jsp.

Webdynpro " How to add values in Drop down list By Key"

Hi experts ,
i want to create a drop down list by key, i don't know how to assign values to it ( i.e. add list entries ) . Please help me on this ..
With regards ,
James..
Valuable answers will be rewarded ....

Hi,
To fix values to the drop down key at runtime in the webdynpro application you can use the following code:
DATA:
lr_node_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info,
l_scarr type scarr,
lt_value_set TYPE TABLE OF wdr_context_attr_value,
lw_value_set like line of lt_value_set.
get nodeinfo of node flightinfo
lr_node_flightinfo = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'FLIGHTINFO' ).
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo = lr_node_flightinfo->get_node_info( ).
get value set (VALUE = CARRID , TEXT = CARRNAME)
select carrid carrname from scarr into table lt_value_set.
clear lw_value_set.
lw_value_set-value = 'AI'.
lw_value_set-text = 'Air India'.
append lw_value_set to lt_value_set.
sort the value set by the describing TEXT
SORT lt_value_set BY text.
set value to context attribute
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo->set_attribute_value_set(
name = 'CARRID' value_set = lt_value_set ).
Here CARRID is a drop down by key field on the screen.
in The context it is an attribute in the node FLIGHTINFO.
Please give Reward Points if this piece of code helps

Manish

Selection in a drop-down list

          Hi,
          is there a way in HTML or DHTML or Javascript or ActionScript to implement
          this:
          in a HTML page, I have a drop-down sorted list:
          <SELECT NAME="Code" size="1" >
          <OPTION VALUE="All">All
          <OPTION VALUE="AACC" SELECTED>AACC
          <OPTION VALUE="ABCDD">ABCDD
          <OPTION VALUE="ABK">ABK
          <OPTION VALUE="BCCC">BCCC
          <OPTION VALUE="CABC">CABC
          <OPTION VALUE="CBBB">CBBB
          <OPTION VALUE="DACA">DACA
          </SELECT>
          If I press the letter A, the drop-down list points directly to the first
          value in the list that
          starts with an 'A' ==> AACC
          If I press the letter C, the drop-down list points directly to the first
          value in the list that
          starts with an 'C' ==> CABC
          What i want is the possibility to type a second letter:
          If I press the letter A, the drop-down list points directly to the first
          value in the list
          of values starting with an 'A' ==> AACC and if i press 'B', this should
          point to 'ABCDD',
          and again if i press a third letter 'K', this should point to 'ABK'.
          How do i do this ? (in HTML or DHTML or Javascript or ActionScript or even
          Java/JSP/Servlet ?
          thanks


Yes there is no XTYPE default
But you can develope your own xtype , see example
