Tabbed Navigation List

Hi ,
I am using Tabbed Navigation List in my application. The color of Labels on the tabs are misleading as it appears to be greyed out but is not. And also while we click on any of these tabs there is no indication of which tab is current. Is there a way I can change the color of the label on these tabs at runtime or design time. And Secondly is there a way I can dynamically change the label color to some green or red or even change the background of the tab to indicate to the user that this tab is current.
Any help in these regard is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Sukarna,
The short answer is yes - all of this is possible. However, the exact implementation will very depending on a number of factors, most notably the theme/template your using. Can you put an example on apex.oracle.com? We'll need the workspace/username/password. You can create a new user account for this purpose.

Substitution syntax in tabbed navigation list. Smart or Lucky?

I've got a tabbed navigation list that I use on two separate pages.
The list entry points back to the current page but sets a page item value based on the list item value.
So this tabbed list might have items labeled E-mail, Phone, Address. When you click one of the list tab items it submits to the current page, sets a hidden field to EMAIL,PHONE, or ADDRESS. That hidden field controls which email,phone, or address region is displayed.
OK easy enough. Except that I use the same list on multiple pages. Rather than create a list for each page, I made it more generic...
So I set the item target as follows:
Target type: Page in this application
Page: &APP_PAGE_ID.
Set these items: P&APP_PAGE_ID._ALIAS_REGION
With these values: ADDRESS
Notice that I've got substitution type syntax for the target page and the NAME of the item whose value I want to set. For example if the list is rendered on page 2 the target page becomes 2 and the item name becomes P2_ALIAS_REGION. On page 7, they are 7 and P7_ALIAS_REGION respectively.
I also use this same syntax in the "Current List Entry" with a query like:
select 1 from dual where :P&APP_PAGE_ID._ALIAS_REGION = 'ACTIVE'
Now, I thought I was being clever in doing this, since it lets me use the same list on several similar pages. However the Apex Essentials Advisor is complaining about my syntax, and as awesome as that tool is, it got me thinking that I might be too clever for my own good.
Is it valid to use this substitution syntax in this context? I mean it works, but is it supposed to work this way? If this is by happy coincidence then Apex developers please don't change how this works. If this is by design, then you guys/girls are awesome!

If this is by happy coincidence then Apex developers please don't change how this works.It is very unlikely that we would change any of the core substitution logic in ways that adversely affect behavior like this.
If this is by design, then you guys/girls are awesome!Aw, shucks.

#TAB_LINK# value not set for tabbed navigation list

I'm a big supporter of searching the threads for an answer before posting. My apologies if I've overlooked this in the threads.
Like many others, I'm leveraging lists to mimic third level tab functionality. I'm trying to use the tabbed navigation list template. My targets for the list entries are pages within the application. When clicking the links however, #TAB_LINK# is not being interpreted within the link URL. #TAB_LINK# is simply appended to the end of the URL instead of being replaced with the actual link value, for example I would expect to see a typical htmldb page link with the target page value.
As a result, no navigation occurs to the target page. If I change the list template to horitzontal link list, the links function as expected, however I prefer the look of the tabbed navigation template.
Any suggestions?
David

I took a hint from my own post and checked the template that was working for me and noticed that the horizontal list template uses #LINK# instead of #TAB_LINK#.
I altered the tabbed navigation list template, replacing #TAB_LINK# with #LINK#, and now the tab links function as expected. I'm not sure if this fix will bite me later, or if this is a known issue. If there is a "proper" solution out there, I would still like to hear it. For now I'll assume my fix is a hack.
Thanks,
David

Change of Color on Tabbed Navigation List (Apex 4.1)

Dear Friends,
I am using apex 4.1
I have a list on page 0 which is "Tabbed Navigation List" and there are three pages running on it.
I want to change the color of the button when i click on the specific button.
Can any1 help me in this regards. I will be obliged.

Not clear enough.
Different Themes render Tabbed navigation lists in different way. Take a look at the Tabbed Navigation List template on Page 0. You will need to customize this template to achieve what you want.

Tabbed Navigation List Session State

I converted regular tabs to a tabbed navigation list because the user wanted the tabs on the left side, on a region, not on the top of a page. Now when I navigate between pages using the tabbed navigation list the session state is not saved. For example: the user changes something in a field on page 1 without submitting the change, navigates to page 2, then back to page 1; the change they made on page 1 is gone. How can I prevent this from happening?
I've checked all of the branches and navigation list targets to make sure I'm not clearing the session state.
Thanks, Elizabeth

First, I added Personal_Page under Action/Request.No, that sets the request value in the branch URL.
so I added Personal_Page in Expression1 under Conditions and set the Condition Type to Request=Expression1That will work. Maybe you have a branch that fires before it so it never evaluated this branch. Anyway, my suggestion was to use an application process, not branches. The firing point of the process should be after-submit, before computations and validations. The process would contain a block like:
declare l_page varchar2(30);
begin
case
    when :request = 'Personal_Page' then
      l_page := '3';
    when :request = 'some other value' then
      l_page := '4';
    -- etc.
end case;
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=' || :APP_ID || ':' || l_page || ':' || :APP_SESSION);
end;Scott

Working with "tabbed navigation list" widths

I have created a list of type "tabbed navigation list" and added it to a page. I modified the "template" for the page adding a bottom border to the table for the tabbed navigation list.
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=36420:1:
How would I control the width of this tab navigation list?
I would like to make the width extend to 100% of the page, however, I'm unable to control the width either by setting the region width or the template width for the tabbed navigation list.
Thank you!

Hello,
Your Region Template is a table and collapsing down. Remove the region template or change it so the table has width="100%" or change it to Report Region 100% Template if your using one of the builtin themes.

Tab Navigation List - Current Tab

I'm using a tab navigation list to hide/show regions on a page. When the page displays, all the tabs are showing the same way and there is no way to know what tab is current. Is there a way to change the display of tab if it is current?

Hi,
Edit the List you are using in the Tabbed Navigation.
Under "Current List Entry" select "Colon Delimited Page list" and enter the page(s) in "List Entry Current for Condition" for each of the list entries.

Hi,
When posting code on the forum, put {noformat}{noformat} (with the curly brackets and the word code in lowercase) above and below your code like this...
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT *
FROM emp
{noformat}{noformat}
It will then appear like this, preserving formatting...SELECT *
FROM emp
I can't see the HTML that you've posted unless you do this.

Session State is set to null when tab (from List) is clicked

Hi Gurus, et al,
Database: 10g Rel 2
APEX: 4.1.2
My application uses a tabbed navigation list to tab through different sections of the form. Each tab issues a doSubmit('tabname');. My application also uses Page 0 for regions that are common to several forms. When I tab through the form (called requisition), the session state for the page items is set to null while the page 0 remains intact. It seems like the doSubmit sets the page items to null. How can I prevent this from happening?
Also, it still happens on APEX 4.2.1 because I put the application on APEX.ORACLE.COM:
Workspace: RGWORK
Application: CSRSR (Application 60220)
Page: 8
Username: tester
Password: test123
Please follow these steps for this issue to occur
1. Run application 60220
2. Select the only choice on the menu (Creative Services Design Requisition (PA 0879))
3. List of Outstanding Requisitions is displayed
4. Click the edit icon next to the requisition Project Description is 'zazaza'
5. Change Date Needed to 3/31/2013
6. Click on the Project Type tab
7. All items are null for that tab (project type in the database = 'frame:dec')

Denes,
While I appreciate your professional opinion, the issue still remains. I may not have the described the issue clearly. It seems that while the row is initially fetched (source type is only when null), project type and purpose items are not displayed initially with the infomation from the table when the appropriate tab is clicked. For example, while the row contains 'frame:dec' for project type, those checkboxes are checked on on the screen.
The form is "complex" for the following reasons:
1. Uses a wizard for new requisitions
2. Uses tabs for updates
3. Uses a Modal page to display outstanding requisitions for the user before the form is displayed
4. Uses common regions (on page 0) with other pages (3 pages uses project information, delivery, requesting department, and chargecode regions.
5. Authorized approvers popup list are populated
6. Manual tabular form is used for framing information including collections
I tried to uses application processes, application computations, package procedures and functions whenever possible.
SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP!

Highlighting List which using Template "Page Tab navigation"

Hi,
Im using a List which uses List Template : "Page Tab navigation".
But irrespective of selection all tabs looks same..How can I highlight the active one ?
Regards,
Benz

Hello Benz,
I suppose you want the "current" tab to be highlighted.
Take a look at Shared Components>Lists>List Entries>Create / Edit List Entry in section 'Current List Entry'.
There you can spezify for each of your entires when it should be current and therefore displaying in different style.
Regards, Tine.

Tabs vs Lists for Navigation

I have an application that includes several data entry screens, administrative functions, security, and lots of reports. So many reports that I can't fit them all into a standard navigation region.
I currently use the One Tab Set template, and there are nearly 200 pages in my application. The idea was brought up to add a second set of tabs to make report grouping more feasible. My own experiments with two tabs and many of the posts here on the forum lead me to believe that perhaps navigation lists are a better way to go. Can someone point me to a tutorial or thread that details this more? Are they talking about context menus where you click on a tab and you get a drop-down list of pages to navigate to? Are they referring to lists in the breadcrumbs (I'm already using breadcrumbs effectively in my application)?
I'm looking for some ideas. Thanks.

I can't point you to a reference but I can tell you that both options two level tabs and lists are doable. However, lists are easier to maintain than the two level tabs. Breadcrumbs are different than lists. The point is that you can display your pages similar to how I did it in the demo application:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:1
where I use second level tabs on the left side of the page. This could be replaced by lists at any time. The only point I see here is that tabs are created automatically and the lists need to be updated manually.

Exporting the fields tab order list

Is it possible to export the field names in a form as the appear in the forms field. I have around 200 field names and I am compiling a list of them in their order for a programmer. Any help is appreciated

Ok that I understand.
I have a document with no /Tabs value (3rd case) thus the fields array should be taken,right?
But in my opinion the /Fields array doesn't provide all the information nessary to be able to "jump" through all the fields.
Let me give you an easy example (abbreviated):
/Fields[6 0 R 10 0 R]
6 0 obj
<</FT/Tx/Kids[7 0 R 8 0 R 9 0 R]/T(Textfield1) ...>>
endobj
10 0 obj
<</P 3 0 R/FT/Tx ....>>
endobj
7 0 and 10 0 are on page 1
8 0 on page 2
9 0 on page 3
So in which order do I tab through the fields?
7,8,9,10? (Fields array)
7,10,8,9? (Annots array)
In my opinion only the 2nd (=/Annots array) makes sense for tab navigation because I don't want to switch pages all the time, or do I miss something here?
