Swap textbox for drop-down list in "search" section of work list panel

Hi everybody
I am using albpm 6.0, when I do searches for instances in the work list panel I can add conditions to the search, for example if I select the "Priority" condition I can select my condition from a drop-down list but if I select the "Description" condition there isn't drop-down list instead a textbox appear so my question is: Can I control or change that behavior? I would like to do that when someone select the "Description" condition a drop-down list containing the values appear so he doesn't have to type anything.
Thank you

Hi,
can you share the solution,even i was trying to archive the same.Thanks in advance.

Conditional validation for drop down list

Hi all,
I have been working on getting the conditional validation for drop down list to work but no luck. Here is my situation. I have a page with 'time' and 'source' drop down which contains a list of values along with null value. I have two buttons 'save' and 'close'. when a User clicks on 'Save' button, no checking should occur and the values filled in the form should be stored into the database. When a user clicks on 'Close' button, validation should occur and messages should be displayed saying 'values should be filled' . After the user fills each drop down list and hits close button, changes should be saved to the database. I used the technique posted by Jayashri and wrote the validation code in 'Close button action method'
Here is my code
public String btnClose_action() {
// TODO: Replace with your code
try {
if (ddlTime.getSelected() == null || ddlTime.getSelected().equals("")) {
FacesMessage message3 = new FacesMessage("Please select a value");
message3.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
getFacesContext().addMessage(ddlTime.getClientId(getFacesContext()), message3);
return null;
if (ddlSourceReq.getSelected() == null || ddlSourceReq.getSelected().equals("")) {
FacesMessage message4 = new FacesMessage("Please select a value");
message4.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
getFacesContext().addMessage(ddlSourceReq.getClientId(getFacesContext()), message4);
return null;
sendMail("close");
} catch (Exception ex) {
return null;
public String btnSave_action() {
// TODO: Process the button click action. Return value is a navigation
// case name where null will return to the same page.
sendMail("save");
return null;
I did not set the 'required' property of both the drop downs and I dont have any message components in the page. How do I get this to work. Please help.
Thanks,

Hi,
Try this
HTP.p('
function validate_form_fields()
var validation = true;
if (document.forms[0].fld_1.options[document.forms[0].fld_1.selectedIndex] == null )
validation = false;
alert("Selection of FLD1 is mandatory.");
if (document.forms[0].fld_2.options[document.forms[0].fld_2.selectedIndex] == null )
validation = false;
alert("Selection of FLD 2 is mandatory.");
return validation;
');If the above does not work, it could be the definition of the your fld_1 select - options. Looks like they allow null values, and if null is not the first option then selectIndex = 0 will be a not null option by default.
Moreover, the below has redundant condition as ==0 and < 1 amount to the same thing. selectIndex cannot be negative.
if ((document.forms[0].fld_1.selectedIndex == 0 ) || (document.forms[0].fld_1.selectedIndex < 1 ))Regards,

Where can I get code for Drop Down Menus

Where can I find html code for drop down menus?
Can this be inserted as an html snippet?
Thanks

Cyclosaurus is the resident expert on java script. Search the forum for his posts in topics containing "drop down menu". Also Google "drop down menus" and you'll get a lot of sites with many types of menus and codes. I had trouble adding one via an HTML snippet and am still working on it just to learn the process.

JS Validation for Drop down List is not working in Oracle PL/SQL Package

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with JavaScript validation done in Oracle PL SQL package.
System Requirement:
There is one screen which contains two fields viz. FLD 1 & FLD 2 and one 'Submit' button.
FLD 1 and FLD 2 fields are drop down list boxes.These are mandatory fields.
The screen is developed in Oracle Mod PL SQL package.
The html coding and java scripting are embedded in the respective Oracle PL SQL Package procedure which generates this screen,takes the input values provided by user,does the
field validations and submits the form.
Issue:
The javascript validation for FLD 2 dropdown is working successfully.
When the user leaves this field as blank,the embedded javascript pops up an error message 'Selection of FLD 2 is manadatory before submitting the form!'.
As FLD 1 is also a mandatory field,the javascripting validation should pop up the similar error message 'Selection of FLD 1 is manadatory before submitting the form!'.
But,this first field validation is not at all working.
The system allows to submit the form even if the 'FLD 1' is left blank.
The javascript code sysntax for validation of FLD 1 & FLD 2 drop down list boxes as follows:
function validate_form_fields()
if (document.forms[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 1 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
else if (document.forms[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 2 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
return true;
I am viewing the screen from the web browser IE version 8.0.
Your timely help will really be appreciated.
Regards & Thanking in advance,
Alka

Hi,
1. Your problem is actually related to JavaScript, not SQL and PL/SQL. So, this is the wrong forum to post. The closest to JS is the Application Express forum {forum:id=137}. Clearly state that it is not an Apex issue and that you are looking for JS help.
2. Your JS code, the way you has posted it, is syntactically incorrect, so if you post on Apex forum put the correct code and in tags as described in the FAQ
{quote}
function validate_form_fields()
if (document.forms[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 1 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
else if (document.forms[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 2 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;

Adding a "blank" selection for drop-down menus under list items.

A lot of people on this form are accidentally selecting items that shouldn't be selected and need to be able to change the drop down menu back to blank if they have made a mistake and selected a wrong drop down item in the wrong area.
Please help,
Thanks!

Add an item to your Dropdown list with Blank as text and some value to it.
When you want to rest to blank, just simply set the rawValue to the value against the blank text.
For example if I add a blank text and assign a value "1" to it.
Then in the code I may use like below to rest it to Blank Text.
DropDown1.rawValue ="1";
Thanks

SAP Design Studio 1.2 sp01 Filters logic is required for drop down list component

Hi all,
I am working with sap ds 1.2 sp01,In dropdown list, assume it has X,Y,Z. So defaulty it shows first "X' value in Dropdown list , but in Croos tab from DS_1, it is not related to "x" value, it shows overall Values In formation,but i want "x" value Information.. How can i get in DS?, PLEASE HELP ME OUT.
.below logics i applied in drop down list component.
DS_1.setFilter("Dimension Name", DROPDOWN_1.getSelectedValue());
and below logic in Application on Startup event:
DROPDOWN_1.setItems(DS_1.getMemberList("dimension name", MemberPresentation.INTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.KEY, 10));
Thanks
Thiru.G

Hi,
Try adding "DS_1.setFilter("Dimension Name", DROPDOWN_1.getSelectedValue()); " after
"DROPDOWN_1.setItems(DS_1.getMemberList("dimension name", MemberPresentation.INTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.KEY, 10));"
on startup event too. You should tell the application that you need to filter the data, even if you don't select it manually from the dropbox, in other words ; on startup.

Code placement for drop down menu within an animated button

I have a main menu comprised of 7 buttons; 6 of which are all
straight forward with an animation. (The animation is that when the
buttons are rolled over the button extends itself out to the right.
On the rollout the button returns to its original state.) The 6 all
function fine.
The 7th menu button is the same idea but with the edition of
a two button drop down menu that appears when the main button is
rolled over. The roll over part is fine. My problem is moving the
cursor off the main button to get to the sub-menu items without
having them disappear once the cursor if off the main 7th button.
Within the time line of the 7th button (all of the buttons
are movie clip buttons) I put an invisible button, removing the
sections over both the main button and the sub buttons. I have
tried the following:
(I should point out that the labels within the button for the
animation are an _up, _over and _out states...the buttons animate
out in the _over label and animate back to the original position in
the _out label,)
The code and where I have (unsuccessfully) tried placing it
are as follows:
1.) On the invisible button itself (within the main button):
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
2.) On the Actions layer (within the main button):
invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
3.) On the Actions layer (on the main timeline...which is
where the code for the other 6 buttons is and running as should):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
btnMusic_mc.gotoAndPlay("_out");
4.) Just a slight variation of #3 (still on the Actions layer
of the main timeline):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
brnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.gotoAndPlay("_out");
The result for all four of these options has been the same.
In rolling over the main button (btnMusic_mc) it does animate out
as it should, exposing the two sub buttons. But moving the cursor
off the btnMusic_mc neither allows me to reach the sub buttons nor
does the btnMusic_mc animate back to its first position (as it
should). It just snaps back into that position.
Clearly I am missing something here. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Is this a bug for drop down box in DS1.3?

I found that if there were many items (e.g. 50), when I clicked the arrow of the drop down box, it showed the items and then disappeared all the items except "ALL". I have to use "F4" key to display all the items and use scroll bar to show the items.
It is OK when there are few items and no scroll appears in the list.
Did anybody meet with the same problem?
Thank you.

Roam,
Thanks again for your suggestion,
"Furthermore one should always Repair Permissions both before doing a Software Update and again afterwards."
I honestly dont know anything about this "Repair Permissions" from the name, i though it is a verification of authentication to repair OS or some kind of credential issue, and since i m admin user then there is no point to verify it, i should be allowed to do so. Again it is my first time to do this thing in 3 - 4 years of using panther, every time i update software i never ever do this! If this step is essential for every update and installation why dont apple put them as one of TODO step during the processes (as licensing agreement) instead of keep them as an option (just my thought) Anyway, I m glad u tell me about it, and i will give it a shot tonight.
"That may because you didn't have sufficient disk space. In fact running out of disk space can create all sorts of problems. Please tell me how disk space is available on your
start up drive."
That what I thought coz i have only 5.x GB left in 60 GB HD. Thats why I claimed as whining and have to scarify the lost of data by reinstall panther in order to get my mac back to work
"So are you saying it is a bug or it is a hacker, I don't believe it is either"
Please see second update info about password, and i m not impose anyone to believe, thats why the topic is a questioning sentence "Is this a bug.."
"This Discussion site is not Applecare. The people here give their time voluntarily to those who are receptive to help."
Thats why i ask for "mac expert" not "apple authority/technician" and always appreciate any suggestion.
Anyway, that great to hear from you and i have learned new thing from your suggestion. I will let u know when i have tried it.

Query for Drop Down By key

Hi,
Explaining my problem with an example.
There is a hotel table where user enter hotel details
Like City, Dep Date, Arr Date, No of Days , rate etc and these in turn get saved to table say USER_HOTEL_DETAILS . When user comes to his plan/entered details again, previously saved data is shown to him.
For making a selection for City I have to give a dropdown to user with cities list that are maintained in other table say HOTEL_DATA which has city, rate, and currency fields and city is the key of table.
Now if I use drop down by key or index for city I need to fetch city values from table HOTEL_DATA and have to populate context of city field of USER_HOTEL_DETAILS.
For dropdown my value text is going to be city .For key if I try to give serial numbers say 1, 2, 3 as key for populating dropdown, the key will get stored in database table against city name. To avoid this while saving data I have to write additional code while saving and retrieving data that take value against selected key.
To avoid this one way is to use city name as both Key and Value. What is the other alternative I can use for? Please help
Regards,
Madhvika

Hi ,
It is better to have citykey in HOTEL table and maintain a text table for the same.This is good approach.
Because tommorow if city needs to be displayed in other text also just adding the same in the text table would be suffice.
For city texts retrieve it from text table and bind to the node.

KM folders as drop-down on advanced search

HI All,
When user hits the advanced search option, there is option of restricting search to folders and sub-folders.
This is available in the folder structure. How can this be made to appear on a drop-down option. The user wants to have it in the same way as the sdn search options wherein the search can be restricted based on the dropdown of category/folders.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
This is what SDN Advanced Search provides.
Next to the Search term, it provides the option to select an index as a Dropdown choice. Below the search bar, it gives an option to filter the search result through a set of defined filter values like Product etc. This means that the content has been Meta Data tagged for the values represented by the check boxes.
If you select a checkbox, then the result set displayed to you will be filtered according to that.
What you basically need to do, is to define multiple indexes according to your needs and then define meta data properties which are assigned to each document / folder. This way you can achieve what you need.
I hope this helps, if it does, then please award points in SDN.
cheers,
Shantanu

Trouble with iWeb code snippet for drop down menu

Hello,
So, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this out and it goes beyond my knowledge, to be honest. I'm working on a website for someone and when viewed in Safari for Mac or iPad or even iPhone, it all works out great. But, when viewed in any other browser for Mac or Windows, the drop down doesn't display the "menu heading," only what should be the first drop down selection. Not only that, that page now becomes "unselectable" and more or less dead.
Here is what it should read, and does on Safari:
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
On all other browsers, it displays the FAQ - Yoga option as the "title" and only displays the other two options. So, is this something that can be fixed in the code snippet or is what I'm seeing a more involved HTML issue that would require actual skills to fix? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated because I'd love to get this knocked out and also pick something up in addition. If I have to edit the actual HTML pages themselves I could do that as well; I've got an editor and have done that for my own site when needed. Anyway, thank you very much in advance!

Creating cascading drop down boxes in SharePoint 2010 using one list

We have a support request form tied to a list that end users input data into which when submitted sends out an email.
Is it possible to create a drop down box on the form that limits the choices in the "subcategory" column, based on what is chosen in the "category" column.
For instance in the category column we have SharePoint, Oracle, and Web Tools as choices.
In the subcategory column we have items related to each category. We only want items that are related to the selected choice to appear in the subcategory drop down box.
I see examples in InfoPath using "Multiple Lists" (one list for city, one for state, etc), but nothing using the same list. I would rather not use multiple lists if possible.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, you want to create a cascading drop-down list box using one list.
To achieve what you want, we can:
Create two fields(category and subcategory) in drop-down list box type in the form in InfoPath.
Add the list which contains the values of the category and subcategory columns to the form as an external data.
Right click the category field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the category column in the list, select Show only entries with unique display names.
Right click the subcategory field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the subcategory column in the list, then click Filter Data.
Click Add, select the category column in the list in the first box, select is equal to in the second box, choose select a field or group in the third box, then choose Main in the Fields and select the category field in the form.
Click OK.
Best regards.
Thanks
