Separate loadable regions?

I don't know the name of what I'm trying to do, so I'll describe it the best I can;
Here's the concept design of the website I'm making at the moment: http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/1839/concept.jpg
Although the template I've got so far is quite different in design, it's still the same basic idea. Since I'm creating this as a one-off online portfolio, I'm not the best at coding and have stuck to using tables in Dreamweaver CS4. The thumbnails will be in a separate table cell and editable region to the currently displayed image (which be in it's own cell and editable region). When you click a different thumbnail, I want the image to be loaded in that cell or editable region without the whole page having to refresh - or without me having to create an entirely new document just to display that image.
Also if possible, I would like to have the content box on the left updated with the description of the new image (the image description will also be in it's own editable region).
Is doing something like this quite simple? Or should I look into another way to go about it?
Also if there's a name for what I'm trying to do so I can Google it and look for some tutorials, that would be great.
Here's a screenshot of the current template if it's any help: http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/4580/screenshotfv.jpg
What I've got so far can be seen live here: http://jakemakesthings.110mb.com/index.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.
Also, will be my first non-flash website, and first website at all in almost 3 years, so do forgive me for amateur mistakes.
And finally, here's the code I've got so far. I don't know a way to place it in an expandable box, so sorry about the wasted scrolling if including it was pointless.
Thank you!

Hi,
could it be you are searching "disjoint rollover-technique"? To make it sure please have a look at this link:
http://www.goldschmiede-blumberg.de/sportSB.php, where the larger image appears in the frame by sweeping over the smaller images.
If yes, look for Nancy O.'s demo, which you could use as a tutorial here:

How to create Page, where will be 2 regions and 2 tabs on the same page?

Hello to everyone!
Please help me to resolve this problem. I want to create 2 separate Report regions on 1 page. But, I want to go to them using tab or region selector.
Something like on http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=65555:54:4313065956899438::NO:::
I want that when I go to Page i see tab named TEST1 and TEST2. Automaticaly will show TEST1 Region on page, when I click on TEST2 on the tab within page, i see TEST2 region.
APEX 4.0.
Thank you!
Edited by: Sabutmaster on 02-Sep-2011 04:42

Maybe there is another variant? Without jQuery? I found something like in Region Selector, but I don't need SHOW ALL option .
Or maybeI can somehow remove SHOW ALL tab???
Thank you!

Beginner ?: How to align Items in HTML Region so they display nicely?

I am new to Application Express so please be gentle....
I have an HTML region that contains several items/fields that I am using to gather user input. So my Page or HTML region looks something like the example below.....
Name:__________ Birthdate:_________
Address: _____________________ City:__________ State: _______
So with the example above in mind how can I get the fields "City" and "Birthdate" to line up nicely on the page so that they would appear something like.....
Name:__________ Birthdate:_________
Address: _____________________ City:__________ State: _______
I have tried changing all kinds of things such as Begin on New Line, ...Field, Colspan, Rowspan. In playing with these various settings I am unable to make any headway with aligning the fields on my page so that they display nicely....but I AM making progress at confusing myself as to how AppEx actually stores the labels and fields. I never seem to be able to control the spacing between the fields being displayed.
So with all of that said....is there a way to make page items line up in an HTML region? There seems to be no issue getting the first column of each new row to line up (Begin on New Line = Yes) but when in comes to lining up the 2nd and 3rd fields on a row I am at a lose. Looks like I could also use a lesson in how labels and fields are stored within underlying AppEx HTML tables.
Many thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Hi Andrei,
Thanks so much for your response...it got me to realize what my issue really was......What you listed above in your response to my plea for help is almost what I had but I was so concentrated on the small fields that I had that I failed to notice that my problem was the text area below those fields which takes up quite a bit of space on the screen...so what I finally realized (bonehead / rookie mistake on my part) was that my fields were lining up in the second column but the second column did not start until the end of the text area.
So I am going to look into moving my text area fields to a separate HTML region so that the smaller sized fields above will line up nicely.
Thanks again for your response and helping me to step back and look again.
Best regards,
Shellie

Template editable regions in head

Murray - as you always seem to answer questions on Templates:
I'm troubleshooting a site for a friend who does not frequent
this
forum - they have a couple of editable regions in the
<head> of the
file - used for some Javascript and also the page title.
Now I know that a properly formatted template has:
separate editable region named name="doctitle" - er for the
title and
a second editable region named name="head" for other things.
Does having

in the <head> matter - affect the functionality of Dw
??? - I know of
course that in wouldn't matter as far as the server is
concerned.
many thanks

Thanks Alan - I did think that would be the case - even if
not what I
would do.
No - not 12 editable regions - no idea how that happened - -
they only
have three - two in the head and 1 in the body.
I long ago moved to Dw - and details are hazy - but when I
did a
refresh of a site a couple of years ago - I created a brand
new single
template using File | New | Blank Template - so all
superfluous
nonsense I had generated in the migration from Frontpage was
eradicated - and unexplained program crashes became a thing
of the
past.
thanks again

Access Child Node of a dataset

I'm pointing to "root/data" in the XMLdataSet as var mdoReg
I'm using spry:region and spry:detailregion
Of course I can easily retrieve the node values of {name},
{usr}, {key} and so on.
-- but how do I access the children under <contacts>
and <links>
is there something like this {contacts/contact} that could
traverse in?
I have something like this for an XML structure;
<root>
<data>
<name>name</name>
<usr>usrname</usr>
<key>value</key>
<desc>description</desc>
<contacts>
<contact>contact-name</contact>
<contact>contact-name</contact>
<contact>contact-name</contact>
ect...
</contacts>
<links>
<link>link-value</link>
<link>link-value</link>
<link>link-value</link>
</links>
</data>
</root>
thanks
Scott

Hi Scott,
There is currently there is a limitation of Spry that doesn't
allow you do display nested data like this:
loop through /data
display 'name'
loop through contacts/contact for 'name'
display 'contact'
end loop
end loop
However, you can build a master-detail just like in the
products demo
You'll display the 'name', 'usrname', etc and when the user
click on one of the records you'll be able to display (in a
separate spry:region) the related links and contacts for that
'name'
In order to accomplish this you have to create those two
dataset to be dependent on the first one like this:
ds1 - selects "/root/data"
ds2 - selects "/root/data[name =
'{ds1::name}']/contacts/contact"
ds3 - same as 2

And having an open ended search function on a web page is also not a great idea.
If you are using Apex, the for performance (and even query flexibility) it will be better creating a separate reporting region for each unique query. A boolean rendering condition checks the existing bind variables in order to determine if that specific reporting region should be executed.
This results in a reporting region having a proper and dedicated SQL query (no hacking of the where clause) and that region only being rendered for the proper combination of supplied filter criteria.
A slightly more complex, but more flexible approach, is using a generic reporting region that calls a PL/SQL function that creates returns the SQL query for execution and rendering. The approach to this is very similar to constructing a SQL ref cursor (dynamically) for a client. The only difference is that instead of creating the actual ref cursor, the code simply needs to return the SQL source code statement - with bind variables. The Apex run-time does the rest (does the binds and execution and rendering).
If you are not using Apex - you should still consider these approaches. And not hacking a single SQL to cater for all different types of filter conditions.

Custom date fields in Interactive Report

Hi,
I am using newly patched version of Apex - 4.0.2.00.06
What I am trying to do is to have two datepicker fields P84_DATE_FROM and P84_DATE_TO in separate HTML region, on the page that has IR / Interactive Report, that will be filter in report source.
In debug mode I noticed that values that are picked with datepicker are not binding in report sql.
select * from calendar_x
where
date between to_date(:P84_DATE_FROM,'DD.MM.YYYY') and to_date(:P84_DATE_TO,'DD.MM.YYYY')
Do I have to force submit on Go button before it executes gReport.search('SEARCH')? Is it the right way to go about this?
Thnx,

Hi Vish,
I was informed by SAP few months back that Interactive Reports can not be enhanced with custom fields. I don't see any documentation regarding this.
You may want to check with SAP also.

Question of Berkeley DB "cache size"

quote:
Set the size of the shared memory buffer pool, that is, the size of the cache.
The cache should be the size of the normal working data set of the application, with some small amount of additional memory for unusual situations. (Note: the working set is not the same as the number of pages accessed simultaneously, and is usually much larger.)
The default cache size is 256KB, and may not be specified as less than 20KB. Any cache size less than 500MB is automatically increased by 25% to account for buffer pool overhead; cache sizes larger than 500MB are used as specified. The current maximum size of a single cache is 4GB. (All sizes are in powers-of-two, that is, 256KB is 2^18 not 256,000.)
The database environment's cache size may also be set using the environment's DB_CONFIG file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string "set_cachesize", one or more whitespace characters, and the cache size specified in three parts: the gigabytes of cache, the additional bytes of cache, and the number of caches, also separated by whitespace characters. For example, "set_cachesize 2 524288000 3" would create a 2.5GB logical cache, split between three physical caches. Because the DB_CONFIG file is read when the database environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that time.
This method configures a database environment, including all threads of control accessing the database environment, not only the operations performed using a specified Environment handle.
This method may not be called after the environment has been opened. If joining an existing database environment, any information specified to this method will be ignored.
This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.
Parameters:
cacheSize The size of the shared memory buffer pool, that is, the size of the cache.
The question:
When I have a host, the memory total is 16G.
I don't know what mean of this document.
How many max cache size can be set ?
4G? 16G?
or cacheCount (4)* 4G = 16G?
My Email: [email protected]

What version of Berkeley DB are you using?
I'm a little confused about what you are quoting. Most of your quote seems to be from DB_ENV->set_cachesize(), but set_cachesize does not have a parameter named cacheSize. The parameters for set_cachesize are gbytes, bytes and ncache.
You use set_cachesize to specify the logical cache that you can optionally split into more than one physical region. The maximum size of the logical cache is 4GB and there is only one logical cache. You specify the total size of the logical cache with the gbytes and bytes parameters. If you set ncache to a value greater than 1, you split this logical cache into separate physical regions. So, for example, if you specify (gbytes=2, bytes=0, ncache=1) you will have a logical cache of 2GB that internally is split into 2 separate physical regions of 1GB each.
You can read more about the memory pool cache in the Reference Guide sections "Selecting a cache size" and "Configuring the memory pool".
If you have other Berkeley DB questions that are not specific to replication, you should direct them to the general Berkeley DB forum where you will have the benefit of a wider set of Berkeley DB experts:

Export SQL query from link or button

I want to list several 'canned' SQL queries on one page as buttons or links; and have the result of selection be an immediate extract/download to excel of the data.
How can I best do this?
I suppose I could create separate hidden regions with their own reports that could somehow be referenced in the link. I would like to avoid doing all that, if I can create a package or process that includes the SQL query and that can be called in the link.
Thanks in advance,
Rich
Edit:
Found 'Report Query' functionality in Apex v3.2.1: However I am unable to get this to work; tells me my printer is not set up. I don't want to print the detail, I want it to be downloaded into excel... I don't have a printer configured - & don't want to. The URL provided for download as attachment is:

One Big Ol' Report

Ok Here Goes
Here's my scenario - I have built several separate reports, and all have conditions on them so they only show based on a variable. They are matrix reports:
EX:
--Report 1 where PRODUCT CATEGORY = 'SHIRTS'
(SHIRTS)
PRODUCT          ATT1   ATT2   ATT3    ATT4
Cotton T-Shirt   Blue   Large Cotton Pre-Shrunk
--Report 2 where PRODUCT CATEGORY = 'SHOES'
(SHOES)
PRODUCT     PRODUCT SUBCAT     ATT1      ATT2     ATT3
Boots       INDUSTRIAL         12 Hole    Y        NI have a list (shown as tabs) across the top of the page and the user can view any of the reports for that category. The list just sets the category variable. I did this because each report has a different set of descriptive criteria to show. Shoes show the number of eyelets and whether they are designated as safety shoes, but that wouldn't make sense in the context of shirts.
My question is not about how to do the matrix reports, but rather how to get all of these report sections into one page and allow the entire set of pages to be downloaded to a PDF. Currently each small report can be downloaded to a PDF, but not the entire thing. Problem is I really can't do a union in the query because the number of columns I need are different, and the titles are dynamic.
So does anyone have an idea (short of using Oracle Reports) to get multiple separate report regions to print to one big PDF?
- 405 -

Why do you hide yourself behind a number? That's actually not nice and fair. And then,
you expect the others to help you with such a big thing.
I don't know much about .pdf, allthough I think it would work there as well - with some
HTML => XHTML => XSLT Stylesheet => XLS-FO to => PDF... conversions using FOP.
However, to get this into an excel file would be a piece of cake.

SlideShow in the Home Page

How can we create a Slideshow on the front page of our application/?

Are you using a particulary slideshow plugin or something you've found on the web? Lots of free options are pretty easy to find with a quick google search. Then you just put your images into a directory on the file system or on a remote server or workspace images if you prefer. upload the javascript css files.
Create an html region on your app front page and create the script tag referencing the js and the link tag referencing the css. Put in your HTML.
I know the response is vague but each slideshow you find is going to be different. But they all work in essentially the same way. You can create from scratch but there are so many customizable free options out there already built. Why reinvent the wheel?
You can even create different slide shows with different sets of images using conditions on separate html regions.

"Correct" way to do data entry form?

I have a situation where I want to build a page that will accept input for a number of fields. The data entered will be passed to a PL/SQL procedure that will then be sent to another application. There are no database tables being read, nor are any being updated. This is just a simple data entry screen. I created a separate HTML region for each field so that I can make them so they are not right up against each other. But I am unhappy with what I have created. Is there a "best practice" method for creating a data entry screen so that I can have data fields that I control location on the screen (or at least horiz and vert spacing between fields)? I want to put text at various places, etc.
Most of what I have coded has been some kind of interactive report pulling data from a table. That formatting is controlled by APEX. But here I really want to do more free-form work. I know I can code the HTML itself but I need to take the data values entered and use them in a process as parameters. Maybe I am over-complicating this? Would be fine if I had a pointer to an example that I could work with.

The data entered will be passed to a PL/SQL procedure that will then be sent to another application. There are no database tables being read, nor are any being updated.Sounds like it would best to start with a wizard-generated Form on a Procedure based on the procedure.
Is there a "best practice" method for creating a data entry screen so that I can have data fields that I control location on the screen (or at least horiz and vert spacing between fields)?Use item attributes to control the structure of the HTML table used to layout the form, or try using the Drag and Drop Layout tool. The appearance can then be customized using CSS—such as margin and/or padding properties to provide more generous item spacing, e.g.
.formlayout td {
padding-bottom: 1em;
}

APEX Bug - Drag and Drop

Hey all
I've discovered a rather annoying bug in APEX's drag and drop item layout.
I'm designing a form and putting mainly text fields down in a column.
Every now and then one of these text fields needs to have a text item (display only) beside it.
The problem is, say if I add 2 display only items beside 2 different text fields, it "forgets" about one of these items when I press the Next button.
It just comes up with the next screen - but it's missing one of the display only items!
Then, seemingly at random, the missing item will (after much editing of the item layout) just appear again at the top of the item list! (when it was positioned somewhere completely different before).
I've managed to reproduce this multiple times.
Makes creating and editing pages with items a very annoying chore!

Oh, ok.
Well, it happened to me every time on 2 separate item regions.
I'll just go and try to do it again... See if it still 'works' :)
ok well it's still doing it...
I just added 2 display only items to my existing item list, and NONE of them were actually added.
Here was my display list:
Region: Collection Details
186 P2_COLL_DAYS Checkbox
193 P2_COLL_TIME Text Field
195 P2_ALLOW_MULTI_TRANS Checkbox
196 P2_ACC_COUPON_TYPES Text Field
198 P2_COUPON_OPTIONS Text Field
200 P2_MESSAGE_1 Text Field
201 P2_MESSAGE_2 Text Field
202 P2_MESSAGE_3 Text Field
203 P2_MESSAGE_4 Text Field
204 P2_MESSAGE_5 Text Field
205 P2_MESSAGE_6 Text Field
22 Itemsand I tried to add a display only item after both of these:
196 P2_ACC_COUPON_TYPES Text Field
198 P2_COUPON_OPTIONS Text Fieldname: "P2_ACC_COUPON_TYPES_TEXT"
text: "[e.g. 1,2,3]"
and
name: "P2_COUPON_OPTIONS_TEXT"
text: "[e.g. 5 or 5,10,15]"
And neither of them showed up on the next page (where you confirm and adjust the items).
I'm using Internet Explorer 7.

Tracking objects in oracle data buffers

hi all,
i am trying to move data blocks from the cold region of "default pool" to the hot region of "keep pool" and would like to know if theres a sweet and simple way to find out and achieve this?
comments and inputs would be appreciated.
thanks.

User1082,
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly but would like you to note that the KEEP pool is separate RAM region +(db_keep_cache_size)+ in additon to the db_cache_size parameter, which creates the DEFAULT pool.
Determining the actual size for data buffers can be critical depending on the size of the database, and with the KEEP pool there to have a database buffer hit ratio of 100%, it becomes a bit difficult to moving small tables and indexes into the KEEP pool. Hence, to achieve this, you should (a) be aware of the most frequently accessed tables in your DB, and (b) know of tables with high buffer residency.
One recommended approach (by Donald Burleson) to assigning KEEP pool contents is to assign objects (with 80% or more data blocks in buffer) to the KEEP pool. This could either be executed manually or via dbms_job, on a rotationary basis. You can repeat the same for assigning other objects (with 80% or more data blocks in physical RAM) to the KEEP pool.
For further understanding, please refer to Oracle Performance Tuning Guide provided by Aman.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Naveed.

Interactive Report - Chart axis value wrong data

Hi,
we created an interactive report based on demo_orders table.
The interactive chart is displaying wrong data on the value axis (4,00000 instead of 4,000.00)!
Values in the table are ok, even the value displayed when user clicks on specific data point is correct.
Did somebody had similar problems?
Application Express 3.2.0.00.27
AnyChart #5.1.3
Thanks.
Regards,
Kristjan

Hi Kristjan,
I'm able to reproduce the issue you report, using an Interactive Report in APEX 3.2.1 and 4.0, where the Application Language is a non-English option. So for example, if my chart label in English is *10,000.00* and when I switch the Application Primary Language to German, then the displayed values should be *10.000,00* however it is incorrectly appearing as *10,000*. When running in some non-English languages, the NLS decimal separator used is a comma ',', but this isn't been correctly applied to the Interactive Report chart. The problem is arising from the fact that the decimal separator setting in the chart XML is not being escaped correctly, and is therefore being ignored. I've logged bug 10154666 to track this issue, and a fix for this will be available in our next release. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. In the meantime, and to ensure the values on your chart are accurately displayed, it might be best to create a separate chart region on the page in question, rather than using the Interactive report chart.
Regards,
Hilary
