Tab Sequence for Forms, Changing

Is there a quick way to change the tab sequence on a form?
E.g. Production Order form opens with cursor at field Product No. For users who aren't creating prod orders, just looking up exisitng ones, it would be handier if the cursor were postitioned in the production order number field. Can this be done without programming?
Thanks.

Cindy,
Just a suggestion but there is an addon solution that does this very thing, and alot more
[http://www.b1up.net/]
There is a video demo on the site
Hope this helps,

Setting a tab order for forms (AS3)

Hi all,
When I press the Tab key to jump to the next text box on my
form, it jumps to the 4th text box and then to the 7th and so on.
There is no order what so ever.
Does anyone know I can set this order?

You can define the tab order by setting the tabIndex property
on the element.

Tab sequence on conditional forms?

I have a form with several conditional parts stored in fragments. I found some odd behavior with the tab sequence: Using LC Designer v8.2 I set the appropriate tab sequence for both container document and fragements. But when running the form it seems like part's appearing conditionally (based on user interaction) are positioned after regular form-parts in tab sequence. Even though the conditional parts are in the middle of the form! :S
Does anyone has an idea how to solve this?

I'm familiar with this new tab-feature and actually did use it to set the proper tab-order. But as a result I get this weird behavior on conditionally shown parts.
The "geographic order" would be OK for me... if it would work like that, but it doesn't: the tab-indexes of subforms shown in the middle of the form are sequentially ordered AFTER parts that were visible at startup. So now when walking through the form by hitting tab, it skips the conditional parts until the end of the form is reached and than it jumps back to the conditional parts.
Can it have something to do with fragments that are hidden by default? In the tab-index list you see the indexes of all items. Also the objects part of underlying fragments. But objects part of hidden subforms or fragments disappear in this list and seems not be indexed any longer.
Any idea on solving this?

Would it not be fine if you ensure that all your commit actions are coded as,
Do_Key ('COMMIT_FORM') correction: In regards to u3's response
You would also have to override relevant key trigger behavior to check for form changes.
KEY-ENTQUERY, KEY-EXECQUERY, ....
If your form is a master detail form, On-Clear-Details (This is a tricky one to maintain :-))

How to create a sequence for an particular item in my apex form

Hi friends,
I created an database application, of a form with a report, and it is working fine...
But in my form, i have a requirement....The below are the existing fields in my form
issue no
created by
start date
status
priority
due date
Among these fields in my form i need to create a 'Sequence' for my field "issue no",
So that whenever i opened the form the 'issue number' must generate automatically like 1 for the first time, 2 for the second time and so on..
For that i created a sequence
CREATE SEQUENCE "ORDERS_SEQ"
MINVALUE 1
MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999
INCREMENT BY 1
START WITH 1000
NOCACHE
NOCYCLE;
But for validation where i need to write the sequence query for the particular item 'issue no'....i dont have any idea of where to write the validation query for the sequence..
please tell where i need to write in step wise manner..please help me friends...
As the below is my validated sequence query for item 'issue no'
'select seq.issue_id.nextval into issue_no'
This is my above validation query whether the query that i mentioned is right..if not let me know the validation query..
And also i need where to apply this validation query in steps..
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Harry...

Harry,
Rik is on the right track. Here is a sample insert trigger: Would need to substitute you sequence ORDERS_SEQ with my sequence las_log_seq, how you define or use timestamps is up to you.
DROP TRIGGER LASDEV.BINS1_LAS_LOG_TBL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER LASDEV."BINS1_LAS_LOG_TBL"
   BEFORE INSERT
   ON las_log_tbl
   FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   -- Description: Insert log_seq, creation_dt, creation_id,
   --              lst_updt_dt and lst_updt_id.
   -- Maintenance:
   -- Date        Actor          Action
   -- ====        =====          ======
   -- 07-Sep-2010 J. Wells       Create.
   :new.creation_id := nvl( v( 'app_user' ), user );
   :new.creation_dt := SYSDATE;
   :new.lst_updt_dt := :new.creation_dt;
   :new.lst_updt_id := :new.creation_id;
    SELECT las_log_seq.NEXTVAL
      INTO :new.las_log_seq
      FROM DUAL;
END bins1_las_log_tbl;

You changed the order of the menu for "Open in a new window" or "Open in new Tab", How can I change it back? Or how can I omit any reference to tabs? I do not use them at all.

BW error: "invalid call sequence for interface when recording changes"

I am getting the error "invalid call sequence for interface when recording changes" when I try to activate a datasource in BW. Any ideas on how to resolve this error?
Thanks.

I already tried that. This is what's happening.. When I get this error, if I try again it will activate and gets collected into a transport. I moved this transport to our QA system. As soon as I try to execute an infopackage under this datasource in QA, I get the error datasource xxxxx must be activated. Before the excecution of the infopackage, the datasource is in "Active version executable". After I get the error message "datasource must be activated", the datasource in the QA system changes to "Active version not executable". I am not sure all these issues are related back to the "invalid call sequence" error I am getting when I try to activate the data source.
I also tried recollecting the transport from our Dev system to QA and it still gives the above errors.
Any help?
Thanks.

Actions tab for form field properties

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WSDFC888F9-219C-4b55-90E6-D316E2A85F08.w.htm l

I am working in Acrobat. I trying to create a form dealers will complete and submit. There will be no licensing issues. I have created a button and named it SUBMIT. In the Actions tab I have selected “Submit a form.” I have entered “mailto:[email protected]” under “Enter a URL for this link”. I have also selected “PDF The complete document” as the Export Format.
I saved the file but when I go to the Preview Mode and click the new “Submit” button, I am asked to “Save PDF as” from a menu. Even if I rename the file and click save, nothing happens. I am back in the Preview mode. If I click “Submit” again, I get the same “Save PDF as” routine.
I am baffled.

Hi dear,
Please use this code to change your password:

Change tabbing shortcut for controls

Is there a way to change the tabbing shortcut to the Enter key, instead of using the Tab key? And is it possible to set the tabbing order for controls?
Thanks,
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would advise against it as using the Tab key for navigation has been standardized for a long time. But you could use the Key Down? filter event in an event stucture to modify a keys behaviour. Specifically if someone hits the enter key pass 9 to Char and ASCII to VKey. You could also use this to disable the tab key.

Changing CSS for form field elements?

Hi,
Is there a way we can change the CSS for Form text fields in APEX 4.1 so that they look a little better? Or is the .css file located somewhere where we can just go and change?
Thanks,
Sun

Hi,
If you are referring to changing the CSS properties then you can do that.
Add /override styles to the page item's HTML Form Element Attributes
style="<cssproperty1>:<value1>;<cssproperty2>:<value2>;"
e.g.
style="background-color:red;color:yellow;"Red/yellow is certainly not "looking better", the idea is to give you the direction.
If you know the class of the item(s) then you can change the styles by overriding the built-in style of the template by adding the <style> in the Page HTML
Header as well.
Or, define your own class, add the class to the HTML Form Element Attributes field and adding the style in the Page HTML Header.

Change template for Form Checkbox Item?

I would like to remove the <label> tag from the template for Form Checkbox items and replace this in the list with my own label tag
E.g. something like this
select '<label onmouseover...>'||reference||'</label>', table_id r
from tabel
order by 1
Is this possible?
Thanks & regards
Edited by: rw on May 3, 2012 6:10 AM

Checkbox is <input> HTML tag with type="checkbox"
The Label that wraps this Input is generated by Apex while rendering and stores important information.
It is not advisable to play with that area even if someone gives you a technically feasible solution like "use a jquery selector to change the tags" in onload event,etc.
Please find a more elegant solution to your problem.
E.g. look at APEX_ITEM API

How do I change the bahavior when I tab in a form? When I tab it moved down - I want it to go to the right.

I want to tab through a form in firefox from left to right. When I tab it tabs down. I am on a Max OS X. When I use Safari it works from left to right.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.tabfocus
Note: In OS X (as of 2005-01), if this preference is not explicitly set, the “Full Keyboard Access” setting in System Preferences will be honored. All builds before that date (e.g., Firefox 1.0.x) will ignore that setting.
This pref doesn't exist by default, so if you want to use it instead of the system settings then you need to create a new Integer pref with the name accessibility.tabfocus and set the value to what you want (7 is to tab through all the fields).

Need a fix for form error checker

I have a form that i have 'tabbed' that shows different
groups of req'd information depending on the clicked 'tab'. The
other 'tabs' are hidden via JS. When I have an error on a hidden
tab of the form, the built in CF form validation breaks and submits
the form uncompleted. The reason i tracked down is that the
generated JS error checking form tries to set the focus to a hidden
area and has a heart attack and bails out before it gets to 'return
false;'. I would like to fix this without changing the original CF
code as this is a isolated incident but is their a way i can bypass
that part?

Thanks for the thought but this does not fix this problem. It only happens on inbound calls and the volume cannot be adjusted and it stays on eardrum-breaking top volume for the duration of the call. When I Googled this once, they seemed to say this is a chronic problem. Corrupt software?
The phone is fully updated with iOS 6 and apps up-to -date. Use iCloud for all three devices and all works well with this one exception.
