Tablular form element max length

Hi,
I could not find a way to limit tabular form element length. Is there a way we can enforce the max length ? If there is no way of doing that, can we use JavaScript to jup to next element as soon as max length is reached?
Thanks in advace,
Asha

Hi,
You could change loading jQuery to this in page template
<script type="text/javascript" src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#jqery/jquery-1.4.2.pack.js"></script>As you say you placed library to images/jqery (btw, is it spelling mistake ??)
Check path where you did place files and how you load it in page template
If you go to location http://yourserver:port/i/jquery-1.4.2.pack.js
or http://yourserver:port/i/jqery/jquery-1.4.2.pack.js
or http://yourserver:port/i/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.pack.js
Can you see content of jQuery library in browser? (change address accordingly)
Can you see any javascript error from Firebug console ?

Oracle 9ir2 Max length of element/field name?

Does anyone know what the max length of a element/field name can be in Oracle 9ir2?
thanks,
-mcd

Thanks.. So, the max length is still 30.. what about this:
Is this also true for the length of element names defined in an XML schema for use by Oracle XML DB?
There are two ways in which XDB can absorb a schema -- one that causes the XMLTYPE to be stored in a CLOB, the other causes the XMLTYPE to be broken down into relational tables behind the scenes. The latter uses the element names for the table names, so I'm assuming it would be restricted by the 30-character column name limit (unless XDB has some way of truncating the column names but preserving the element names). But what about the case where the XMLTYPE is stored in a CLOB? In theory, there's nothing limiting the length of the element name.

How to set a form element value using javascript?

Hello,
I have been using the following two functions in AS 9.0.2 to set form values in javascript and it works correctly. However, the same code does not work in AS 10.1.2.0.2. Would appreciate if someone could let me know how to set form elements using Javascript(onchange of a field).
function set_item_value(p_field_name, p_value)
var v_index, v_full_name;
for(v_index=0; v_index<document.forms[0].length; v_index++)
v_full_name = document.forms[0].elements[v_index].name.split
if (v_full_name[2] == p_field_name)
document.forms[0].elements[v_index].value = p_value;
function get_item_value(p_field_name)
var v_index, v_full_name, v_return="";
for(v_index=0; v_index<document.forms[0].length; v_index++)
v_full_name = document.forms[0].elements[v_index].name.split
if(v_full_name[2] == p_field_name)
if(document.forms[0].elements[v_index].type != "radio")
v_return = document.forms[0].elements[v_index].value;
else
if(document.forms[0].elements[v_index].checked)
v_return = document.forms[0].elements[v_index].value;
if(v_return == " ")
v_return = "";
return v_return;
Thanks

This is not the best way to write JavaScript in Portal environment!
You can't be sure that a form is the first in the html source!
In Portal you change the order of your portlets, and also you can have several instances of the same portlet on the same page!!!
You should use qualified form and field names!
Please check the following JPDK methods:
UrlUtils.htmlFormName
HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter

Zero fill and max length VC7 Compile to WebDynpro not working

Hi,
i try to call Customer get list and set the attributes zero fill and max length to the input table form.
But the user has to put in the exact length and zero filled.
Any idea what to do
Thanks
Uwe

Hi Uwe,
if I understand your question you need something like an alpha conversion.
You can use a formula, therefore is an textfunction called LPAD(text,len,pad).
You can use it like this:
LPAD(@yourtext, 18, "0")
@yourtext contains the input, the length is 18 and filling values is 0 like a alpha conversion.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Setting max length of the field when using Context Model Node

I have created a model using Import Adaptive Web Service model option (a web service was a wrapper around SAP BAPI function module).
There were no dictionary types created in the Local dictionary as a result of import.
I have mapped the context of the controller to the model node.
One of the fields in the model is name CUSTOMER_NUMBER type string;
Corresponding element in the wsdl of the web service is
<xsd:element name="CUSTOMER_NUMBER" type="tns:char10" />
I have created a view with the input filed mapped to the CUSTOMER_NUMBER field of the model node.
When I type more than 10 chars into the field and hit the search button, I get a com.sap.dictionary.runtime.Ddcheck exception that the length of the field should be less than 10 chars.
How can I set the max length of the field in design time to prevent runtime exception?
Thanks,
Julia

Thank you for your reply.
Java trim function will trim the white spaces only, not the characters.
I can code check length functionality before calling execute function (the function that call the web service).
I can also create a dictionary structure based on the model structure; create a context value node based on the dictionary structure and use WDCopyService API to move the data between value node and model node.
I was looking for the best practice...
When importing model based on Adaptive RFC, the dictionary structures are imported together with the model. This does not happen for Adaptive web service - hence there is a need to add coding for simple checks.

Accessing form elements within a Spry region.

Since nested Spry regions isn't yet support, can someone tell
me how to access and modify form elements within a existing region?
For example, I have a region that displays a form based on
data I defined in a javascript array. On of the form elements is a
select with some options. I want to added and remove options to
this select depending on the number of objects in the data array.
The select is not defined when I try to access it after spry
has finished rendering the form, eg
document.forms[0].selOrder1.options.length = 0;
How are Spry regions attached to the browser's DOM? Does Spry
create it's own DOM subordinate to the main DOM?
Is it possible to make changes to a Spry region without using
Spry?
thx
pwp

Actually, there are a couple of ways to get access to the DOM
underneath a region container. If you have a region, you can put an
ID attribute on the region container node, or if you are using a
region observer, the data passed into the observer has a regionNode
property. So if you want access to the region DOM anytime the
region is re-generated, do something like this:
function myRegionObserver(notificationType, notifier, data)
// We only want to do something after the region is
re-generated,
// for all other notifications, do nothing.
if (notificationType != "onPostUpdate")
return;
// If your region container element has an ID on it, just
use
// getElementByID. This is useful in the case where your
observer
// is only ever registered with one region.
var rgnElement1 = document.getElementById("headerRegion");
alert(rgnElement1.innerHTML);
// Or you can simply use the regionNode property of the data
// that is passed in. This is useful if you've registered
the same
// observer on multiple regions. The regionNode property
will
// contain the region container node for the region that is
currently
// being updated.
var rgnElement2 = data.regionNode;
alert(rgnElement2.innerHTML);
Spry.Data.Region.addObserver("headerRegion",
myRegionObserver);
<div id="headerRegion" spry:region="ds1">
</div>

Safari/WebKit - Is there a max length for URL?search_string

Is there a max length for search strings in URLs in Safari or WebKit?
e.g.
www.foo.com?Thisis_....._5000_charslong
Thanks

Absolutely everything in computing has limits. Whether you are reached one is harder to say.
Are you getting it on the prepareStatement() or the executeUpdate()?
If the former then I would suspect a length limit (presuming absolutely no chance of a syntax error.) If the latter then it might or might not be.

How to do the same form element alignments on two different regions

Hi,
I have two different regions on the same page as the second one is underneath of the first one. Both the regions have some form elements like text field, select list etc. However the alignment of the elements on these two regions are not the same. In the individual regions, it just aligns the input fields based on the maximum length of the label within the region only, so it creates two different vertical alignments per region. How to have the same alignment for the input elements across the regions?
(I wish to upload the screenshot of the page but there is no provision in this forum to do so).
Thanks in advance.
Natarajan

The basic approach is to set the width of the item labels using a CSS embedded style sheet in the page HTML Header:
<style type="text/css">
label {
display: block;
width: 15em;
</style>If you want to limit this to items in specific regions, then give these region(s) static region IDs (such as <tt>region-1</tt>) for use as CSS selectors:
<style type="text/css">
#region-1 label,
#region-2 label {
display: block;
width: 15em;
</style>

Missing Validation Form Elements

OK, perhaps this is just an oversight.
bullet]Is there an issue with Radio buttons?[
Also, what about the password form
element? We can set length and some other params on that also but
that is missing, right?
Was that just an oversight in this
release? (And if yes, could it be done added to a 1.4.1
release?

Radio buttons have a couple of validation points. One point
is that they may have no default value and one needs to be set to
submit the form. The other is it may have a default value set like
(none selected) but that isn't valid and it can be anyone other
than that. Personally I don't agree with some of the form fields
"required" by those whom we work for, yet these things still
apperar on forms and if this solution doesn't cover those
situations then those who don't understand will determine the issue
is SPRY, and we don't want that. :)
I think in passwords (which are "like" text input elements,
but are not text input elements) we will still need to handle the
length and possible the "complexity" settings for when people enter
in original passwords. I have seen this done before and it is very
well recieved by those who are asking for web applications to be
built.
Does that make sense? BTW... the logic I have done in the
past says that the validation routines for radio buttons is very
simular to the logic for select boxes.
That does bring one more thought to mind... what about select
boxes that are multi-select? Do we have that covered?

Selection text's max length 30 but its not going beyond 28

selection text's max length 30 but its not going beyond 28 while its 30 in other fields.

Hi Yogesh,
Yes Selection texts have limitations . You can use text elements for your selection paramater and it can acomadate up to 132CH:
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(48) TEXT-005.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION 49.
SELECT-OPTIONS : S_SAKNR FOR BSIK-SAKNR .
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

Column value substitution in tabular form element attributes

We started to discuss this at Re: Tabular form with Ajax
I also mentioned this at Re: how to make only some rows editable in html db.
but thought that this deserves its own thread.
In Doug's sample Sudoku application in that thread, he uses #COLUMN# substitution in the Form Element Attributes and it works fine, but in my example page at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:219 I used the same technique and no matter what I do, the #COLUMN# substitution is not expanded by the Apex engine.
This is driving me nuts, any ideas why it works in one application but not in another?
Thanks

Hm, you might be right.
I copied your row template and modified it at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:219
The styling looks terrible, not sure why, the template is simply
<tr>
<td class="t10data">#EMPNO_DISPLAY#</td>
<td class="t10data">#ENAME#</td>
<td class="t10data">#JOB#</td>
<td class="t10data">#MGR#</td>
<td class="t10data">#HIREDATE#</td>
<td class="t10data">#SAL#</td>
<td class="t10data">#COMM#</td>
<td class="t10data">#DEPTNO#</td>
</tr>I had a lot of trouble getting this to work because the wizard generated tabular form appends 2 hidden fields containing the PK and the row-checksum to the last (editable?) field on each row. If the last editable field has #COL# substitution, it expands the substitution and forgets to close the INPUT tag thus causing malformed HTML (I think this is a bug in the rendering engine).
The readonly condition is sal>1000 which now works. The SAL>1000 fields are now readonly.
But now the update process is broken. If I enter a number in the first blank SAL field (empno=3641) and click Submit, I get no errors but the change is not saved. Wonder why.
Hopefully, Scott (Spadafore) will take mercy on our amateurish experiments and give us some definitive answers soon!
Thanks.

Passing Session Values to the Tabular Form Element of a Report Column

Hello,
I'm running application express version 2.0 with a 10.2.0.2.0 database on a 32 bit windows box. I'm trying to figure out sneaky a way to pass the &APP_PAGE_ID., #APP_PAGE_ID# or V('APP_PAGE_ID'); as an element attribute of a Report Tabular Form Element set to display as a Select List (named LOV).
It seems that whatever option I choose, the Element Attributes field will only render the literal value of what I have entered. This is part of the solution but I would like to find a way to pass the current page id.
What I'm trying to do is utilize the ONCHANGE attribute to redirect to a report page in my application when the value from a Select List (named LOV) is selected.
I could work around this by creating my own table output with PL/SQL and HTP.P commands but would really be interested in finding out if I can use the reporting structures which are already available through Application Express.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Justin.

Thanks for the response Earl. To clarify this is what I've done and what I hope to achieve:
I currently have a LOV for my application that identifies a number of database report types: DB Options, DB Parameters, DB Version, and so on.
I have an application express report being generated for the databases I'm monitoring and it displays as follows:
- HOST -- DBTYPE -------- DBNAME - DBREPORTS
=====================================
- SVR 1 - Oracle 9.2.0.1 - DEV -------- [LOV HERE]
- SVR 2 - Oracle 9.2.0.7 - TST --------- [LOV HERE]
I am displaying the LOV on my report the the options under the reports attribute tab in my application builder. I insert my LOV select list by editing the DBREPORTS column and set the "Display As:" option under Tabular Form Element to "Select List (named LOV)"; I have also added my LOV to the "Named LOV" option under List of Values.
So far this achieves everything I would expect and works quite well (a select list with my report types appears in my monitor report for each DB that is returned).
What I'm interested in doing now is opening a DBREPORT for a given database by simply choosing the report type from my LOV. I can set the "Element Attributes" option under Tabular Form Element to execute a javascript call for any valid event (in my case I'm using ONCHANGE).
My only issue is that I cannot find a way to pass any session values from my page to my Element Attribute. If, in the Element Attributes field I enter:
onchange="alert(this.value);" //my dialogue box will display the value of my current selection when I choose a report type.
What I'd love to be able to do is something like:
onchange="alert('&APP_PAGE_ID.');" //so my current page id is written to the element.
Unfortunately, only my literal text seems to be rendered. Rather than having my dialogue come back with my page number, say 75, I receive the literal value &APP_PAGE_ID.
Notwithstanding any quote issues, I've tried to dump a test html attribute to my source html by entering any of the following in the Element Attributes field:
test=&APP_PAGE_ID.
test=#APP_PAGE_ID#
and as a shot in the dark knowing that I'm not using PL/SQL:
test=V('APP_PAGE_ID');
In every case when I view source I see the literal value of what was entered in the Element Attributes field (ie "test=&APP_PAGE_ID." instead of "test=75").
What makes things a little more frustrating is that I can drop &APP_PAGE_ID. into the Column Heading field (ex My Heading &APP_PAGE_ID.), it renders as I would expect; "My Heading 75". If we could find a solution to this, I could see a number of slick uses for this type of functionality.
Hope this helps,
Thanks.
Justin.

Form element id changed after upgrading from APEX 3.2.1 to 4.0.2

Hi,
We are in the process of testing an upgrade of our APEX 3.2.1 app to 4.0.2. The production database was exported, imported as a new database, and then upgraded to 4.0.2. I've noticed that on pages where we have coded our own PL/SQL process in place of the built-in MRU, the form element id (referenced using g_fxx) has changed. For example, in our existing production system, the id for the first row of data is f06_0001, but when we look at the same page in APEX 4.0 environment, the element id has changed to f08_0001. Is this a known issue when performing an upgrade? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,
I have seen this problem.
I assume that Apex 4 do not give fxx name to items anymore in order where columns are in query.
This is one of reasons why we have not been yet able to upgrade.
And it seems this same problem exists in Apex 4.1 on apex.oracle.com

How to track changes made in a jsf form element.

I am in a page and editing some form elements. I click on some other link which will take me to another page. Before moving to another page I want to check if there are some unsaved data in the page. If some form elements are edited, I want to throw a confirmation alert, if the user wants to move to the other page without saving the edited data.
This can be accomplished by having a hidden flag which will keep a track. On change of any element, a javascript function will be called to set the hidden flag. So before going to any page we can check the flag and throw an alert.
But this process will be needing much coding effort. Is there a way in JSF to track the change in a form by backing bean or some other process?

JSF offers a serverside ValueChangeEvent for that. Every UIInput component supports a 'valueChangeListener' attribute (and a f:valueChangeListener facet) which can point to a method in the backing bean which takes a ValueChangeEvent parameter. This will only be invoked if the new value differs from the old value. This costs one trip to the server though.
E.g.<h:inputText value="#{myBean.value}" valueChangeEvent="#{myBean.valueChanged}" />MyBeanpublic void valueChanged(ValueChangeEvent event) {
    Object oldValue = event.getOldValue();
    Object newValue = event.getNewValue();
    // Do your thing.
}ValueChangeEvents are invoked in the 3rd phase of the JSF lifecycle, after validation/conversion and before update model values. Also see http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/09/debug-jsf-lifecycle.html
