Setting the value of a textbox which is created in a loop

Hi all,
I have two jsp pages. In page1, I have a table which has rows that are generated in a loop. something like this.
<script type="text/javascript">
function callMe(num)
alert("from callme");
var linkId = "link"+num;
var boxId = "qotApprBy"+num;
var input = document.getElementById(linkId);
//alert(input.name);
if(input.name==linkId)
document.getElementById(boxId).value="<%= aName %>";
else
document.getElementById(boxId).value="General";
<table width="100%">
<%
for(int i=0; i<myList.size(); i++)
String myName = (String)myList.get(i);
String linkId = "link"+(i+1);
if(aName==null)
aName=myName;
String qotApprById = "qotApprBy"+(i+1);
System.out.println("id:" + qotApprById);
%>
<tr>
<td>
<input name="<%= qotApprById %>" type="text" id="<%= qotApprById %>" value="<%= aName %>"><a id="<%=linkId%>" href="FAM_OsiCustomApproverSearch.jsp?qotSearchNo=<%=3167%>&qotSrhVersionNo=<%=1%>&rowId=<%=(i+1)%>" onclick="callMe(<%=(i+1) %>)">Click Me</a>
<% aName=null; %>
</td>
</tr>
<%
%>
</table>
When ever I click the hyperlink it basically takes to another jsp page which submits its form values to page1. I need to get the value from page two & assign it to the corresponding textbox. Say, if I clicked on link in the 1st row of the table the value of the textbox in the first row of the table should change. If I click on the link in the second row of the table I need to change the value of the textbox in the second row and so on. My problem is even if I click the nth link in the nth row of the table, its changing the value of textbox in the 1st row. Can someone help me.

can i see the the complete 2 jsp's

  • Setting the value of a textbox from another page

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a multi paged application (multiple xib, multiple controllers)
    In my selection view, the view that holds the UIViewPicker control, I need to populate the page that called the selector page...
    I have the code to identify what page called the selector, and when the page is dismissed, I need to fill in the field from the calling page.
    I have included the header of the calling view in my selector view, and now I need to be able to fill in a readonly textbox in the calling view....
    Do I need to setup a property for each of the textboxes in the calling view, or can I populate them directly??
    thanks

    How exactly do I tell the self.parentViewController what control will receive the new text value??
    Ooooops!! I'm the one who needs to be sorry, Tony:
    // from previous post
    - (void)setTextInParent:(NSString* textValue) {
    // assume that every possible parent controller has a "textbox" object
    // which is a member of some class that has a writable 'text' property
    [previousViewController setValue:textValue forKey:@"text"]; // <-- * Idiot alert *
    Looks like another one of my senior moments. As you pointed out, we need the value of the 'textBox' property before we can set the value of the 'text' property.
    To your question on how I am displaying the second view, it is called via
    [self presentModelViewController:screen animated:YES]
    from a button click event
    Cool. That means we already have the address of vc1 in the 'parentViewController' ivar of vc2, so we don't need to add the 'previousViewController' ivar shown in my example.
    So here's a corrected and maybe more relevant example--this one has been tested (Duh!), btw:
    - (IBAction)done {
    // get the currently selected string
    NSInteger row = [pickerView selectedRowInComponent:0];
    NSString *selection = [dataArray objectAtIndex:row];
    NSLog(@"%s: selection=%@", _func_, selection);
    // set text in textBox property of parent controller
    [self.parentViewController setValue:selection forKeyPath:@"textBox.text"];
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    I have tried to implement this code
    [self.parentViewController setValue:21 forKey:@"test"];
    but it is generating an error stating
    passing argument 1 of 'setValue:forKey:' makes pointer from integer without a cast
    Yeah, referring to the doc, [setValue:forKey:|http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Cocoa /Reference/Foundation/Protocols/NSKeyValueCodingProtocol/Reference/Reference.html#//appleref/occ/instm/NSObject/setValue:forKey:] wants an id type (pointer to an object of any Obj-C class) for the first arg. Since 21 is an int, i.e. a scalar value, the compiler doesn't like it (and the runtime system would like it even less).
    However when you want to use KVC to set a scalar property, the methods are actually smart enough to extract an int if you provide a NSNumber object (see "Setting Attribute Values Using Key-Value Coding" under [Key-Value Coding Fundamentals|http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conc eptual/KeyValueCoding/Concepts/BasicPrinciples.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002170 ] in the Key-Value Coding Programming Guide). So if 'test' is an int ivar of the parent controller, something like this should work:
    [self.parentViewController setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:21] forKey:@"test"];
    Does that cover your questions? Sorry again for the bad code. Most of the examples I post are pasted directly from working, tested code, and I usually add a disclaimer if it's just something I keyed into the forum. But when I"m having a senior moment all bets are off.

  • Setting the value of a textbox to be the display value of a selected item

    I have two seperate regions on the same page. In the top region I have a select list with submit and in the bottom region I have a textbox. I can get the value of the textbox to be set to the RETURN value of the select list, but it is merely a number. I would like for the value of the textbox to be set to the DISPLAY value of what the user has selected from the select list. How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks,

  • How to set the value of a textbox to 0 "Zero" in a continues form footer while the detail of the form has not data

    I have a continues form in which I used the” if(), IsNumeric(), isnull and SUM ()” functions to calculate the total amount of the records if exist in the details, else return me 0 “Zero”:
    Iif(IsNumeric(Tr_Amount), SUM(Tr_Amount),0)
    Iif(isnull(Tr_Amount), sum(Tr_Amount),0)
    However, it’s not working fine. While it has no records in in details it doesn’t return 0 in the textbox, but if it has some records it returns the total amount.
    Please help!
    Thank you in advance! 

     if this involves the case of a continuous form where there are no records - and the field sits in the footer of the continuous form....
    you can put in code in the OnCurrent event of the form that checks for records and if no records then writes the 0 into the text field in the footer.  note that with this approach all the logic is here in the OnCurrent event as that field
    must be unbound with no formula in its control source - - meaning that when it sums, that sum code must also occur in the oncurrent
    the check for records can be a dcount of the record source
    since NZ isn't working maybe there is out there another method for this situation that can be put into the field's control as you have been attempting - maybe another responder will educate us both on that....something along the lines of a HasData for forms....but
    I don't know what that is off hand and so only suggest this method as a work around.... it should work fine.....

  • Facebook sets the value of spellchecker.dictionary to ru_RU every time I start entering text (language doesn't matter) in a textbox on FB

    Facebook sets the value of <spellchecker.dictionary> to <ru_RU> every time I start entering text (language doesn't matter) in a textbox on FB.
    FF: Firefox 20.0 - Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint

    I haven't noticed any other website I use causing that problem: all of them use the predefined (in prefs.js) value of <spellchecker.dictionary> and don't change it unless I change the speller language manually.
    The only way I can change the value of <spellchecker.dictionary> back to <en_US> is manually choosing English in context menu of a textbox, or editing "prefs.js", every time Facebook messes it up.
    Why does FB always sets <spellchecker.dictionary> to <ru_RU>???
    My default locale is "en-US": <general.useragent.locale> = "en-US".

  • Setting the value of a single attribute for multiple line items

    Hi all,
    I am working on a Web Dynpro application, I have created this applicaion for an accounting document so it has header data and multiple line item data. As per the requirement I have to put the following logic:
    1. When a user enters a value in the field KBLNR on the line item, all the other fields like cost centerm fund, functional area should populate from a database table based on the value of the KBLNR. to get this I have put the following code:

    everything is working fine but now the problem is couple of fields that I have in wa_kblp are with different names in bseg table and hence they are not updating... I tried putting the following logic within the loop :
    lo_el_t_bseg->set_attribute(
        name =  `PROJK`
    value = wa_kblp-pspnr ).
    but it's only setting the value of the first line item and not working for the multiple line items, can you please tell me how can do this?

  • How do I set the value of a dynamic row text field

    I have a repeated row form which contains a button and multiple text fields.  There is a text field (Input Data Field) further up with some information I want to place in the table and multiple buttons that I want to read the value of and set to the table.  I apologize there are multiple questions I have and I am using pseudocode to describe it.
    Top form looks like
    InputField
    | ButtonX1 | ButtonY1 | DescriptionX1 (read only Text Field)
    | ButtonXn | ButtonY1 | DescriptionXn
    OutputRow looks like
    | ButtonOutput | OutputField1 | OutputField2 | OutputField3 |
    So I would like it to do
    ButtonX1.click
    OutputTable.OutputRow.addInstance(true)  //this works - everything else I have questions on
    OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField1.rawValue = DescriptionX1.rawValue
    Question 1
    How do I address the location in each table to set a value
    Question 2
    How do I get the value of the description field in the same table and row as the button
    I would like to say something to the effect of  OutputTable.OutputRow[??].OutputField1.rawValue = this.parent.DescriptionX
    OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField2 = InputField.rawValue
      Same question as above - how do I specify a dynamic row - is this the proper syntax for getting the value from the input field?
    OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField3 = this.ButtonLabel
    Question 3
      How can I get the value of the button's label to set in the field
      There should be very many of these buttons and buttons will be added - I would prefer to set the value based on the button's label to make the value easier - not requiring changing the code
    Question 4 - unrelated to those above.
    Is it possible to build the first table
    | ButtonX | ButtonY | Description |
    from an XML File.  I have seen examples of how to build if it is just data, but can the XML be pushed into a form with code to do the above actions?

    Each object in a form must have a unique name. I doing so it is not neccessarily the name but the path or SomExpression associated with that object that must be unique. In your case you have a Table.Row.object configuration. The Row is the part that is repeating so to give each object a unique name an instance number is placed on the repeating part. So objects in the 1st row woudl be Table.Row[0].object...objects in the second row woudl be Table.Row[1].object etc .....You can see this by adding a debug instruction on the Enter event of the description field. Put the code app.alert(this.somExpression) and when you enter the field you will see what the somExpression is. Do this for a few rows and you will see the pattern (don't forget to remove the debug code from the enter event). Now you know what you have to use to address the fields. If no instance is given it is assumed to be 0 ..that is why only the 1st row is being affected.
    So now to answer your questions:
    Question1: The square bracket notation is an issue for javascript (this is the notation for an array) so we have to use a different means of addressing the field to include the instance number. So to address the Description in the 3rd row we woudl use:
    xfa.resolveNode("Table.Row[2].Description").rawValue = "This is my new description";
    Note that the instance number is 2 for the 3rd row because the instance numbers are 0 based.
    Question2. The resolveNode notation allows you to pass a string so you can also concatinate expressions to make the string. If you are writing code on a button in the same row you can get the instance that you are on by using the expression this.parent.index. The "this" portion refers to the current object (the button) and the parent.index gets you th eindex of the Buttons parent. If the button is embedded deeper in a hierarchy then you can continue to add parent indicators until you get back to the node that you want. So rewriting your expression from Q1 it woudl be:
    xfa.resolveNode("Table.Row[" + this.parent.index + "].Description").rawValue = "This is my new description";
    Question3: The buttons caption can be retrieved by using ButtonName.caption.value.text.value
    Question4: When you say build from an XML file. What are you expecting to come from the XML file? The caption that goes on the button? Typically the XML file carries data (not to say that it cannot carry other things). Just need a bit of clarification on this one first.
    Hope that helps

    Sorry, what I said was rubbish, because the LSMW and the session run in different external sessions.
    I have searched forum for these terms: "company BUK parameter BDC background"
    These threads Is it possible to set default company code in SM35? and Release BDC in SM35 in background, How to set defaul company code? seem promising, but I'm not sure they really solve.
    In case these threads don't help you, I think you can create your own Z transaction which sets the BUK parameter id and then does a LEAVE TO TRANSACTION 'ABAON'. Then create again the recording on the Z transaction.
    If you are using ECC6, then you may also enhance the standard to reset BUK parameter id at the very beginning of ABAON, in case it's run in batch input (sy-binpt = 'X'). Be careful as sometimes SAP does batch input on some transactions, so that could make the standard fail.
    Last thing, you can contact SAP support, though it might probably be considered as consulting.

  • How to prevent numericstepper from setting the value to the defined Maximum when a number greater than maximum is entered in by keyboard and user hits the "Enter" key.

    I need to set the Maximum so that the use can use the mouse to change the value of numericstepper (and not go over a certain number), but at the same time I have to allow the user to enter their value by typing in the text field. When the user enters a number greater than the Maximum, I disable the "Ok" button of the dialog and show a red warning(error message). The issue is that the user can hit "Enter" and numeric stepper would set the value to the Maximum and the dialog box would close and the rest of code would run. I want the numericstepper not to change the value and keep showing the warning even if the user hits the "Enter".
    Note: Setting maxChar does not help since my maximum is 1000, and user might enter 5555
    I would appreciate the help.

    Thanks for trying to help, But
    The issue is that if I set the maximum value of stepper 1 greater than the max value that I want, then the user can select an invalid value(of myMax + 1) when he clicks on the UP arrow of the numeric stepper(which is not acceptable for what I am working on).
    I need to preserve the users invalid number, while not letting the user to select an invalid number by clicking UP key.
    I noticed that when the user enters a number greater than the Maximum, and then click on the down arrow, it would set the value to 1 less than the maximum. This is not acceptable either.

    Hi,
    1. First import the BAPI in to WD component using create->service call.
    2.The BAPI import, export and Table parameters will be set in to the Component Controller context.Then drag this BAPI node to your view.
    3.In the 'texts' property of DDbyindex bind the BAPI output node which will be the Table parameter of the BAPI.It could be under CHANGING node.
    4.In WDDOINIT method just click the code wizard and enter the method name which you will give when importing the BAPI.Automatically the values from the BAPI will be loaded into your Dropdown when you run the application.

  • How to set the value in the xml node.

    Hi
    I am having the application PDF which can be submitted by user using the button. while submitting 
    i am using below code to set the value in the xml node.
       xfa.data.assignnode("employee.id","123",0):
    So its generating the xml like below.
    <employee>.
    <id>123</id>.
    </name>
    </employee>
    Now i need to generate the xml like  below.
    <employee id= "123" >
      </Name>
    </employee>
    So how to set/create the id node like above?
    Advance Thanks.
    Regards,
    Dhiyane

    Hi Dhiyane,
    You will have to set the contains property if the id node to "metaData", that is;
    xfa.data.assignNode("employee.id","123",0);
    xfa.data.employee.id.contains = "metaData";
    Very clumsy if you have a number of them, in which case you might want to look at using E4X.
    Good luck

  • How to set the value in SelectOneChoice

    Hi,

    Hi,
    is it ADF bound? If so then you set the default value to the list binding in the PageDef file. The value of the component must be bound to a method expression, which is why you see an exception. However, I think we need more information

  • How to set the value of application item using pl/sql in application process

    Hi guys,
    I want a global variable (application item) whose value will be set at the start when a user logs in to the application. The value will be retrieved from database using a sql query. I do not know the exact syntax to set the value of application item in application process. Also i want to know in which type of application process should i use to set the value of application item when a user starts a session. The value of application item varies from user to user.
    Please help.
    I am using apex 4.2
    Regards,
    Waqas

    You can use the application item as bind-variable with its name. ie. your application item is named G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM, then you can access/set it using :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM.
    For example
    BEGIN
        -- assign like a variable
        :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM := 'LARRY';
        -- use in a SQL statement
        SELECT WHATEVER_COLUMN
          INTO :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM
          FROM MY_TABLE
         WHERE USERNAME = :APP_USER
    END;
