Text item with a blank space

I am trying to save a blank space in a text item but everytime i do, the item is getting trimmed.
if i put in " " then it trims to null.
If i put in "P " then it rtrims to "P"
What am i doing wrong?

I dont think i have been clear on what we are trying to achieve. They will not always need a blank space but could need one if they choose to do so.
The form concatenates a set of values. So we have a set of information that is exported by the form.
i.e.
ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR.
on button press turns into ONETWOTHREEFOUR
they then have a custom seperator text item to specify what seperator is used to seperate the values. So this is where i want the user to be able to specify anything they want, including a blank space or anything else they require like comma etc so if they entered ", "
on button press turns into ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR
at present it trims it turning it into ONE,TWO,THREE,FOUR
Hope this makes sense as to why i want the blank space.
I can add it as a list item and concatenate it on save but this this is a little OTT for what is a simple task

Which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX

Dear experts!
Thank you for your attention!
I am confused with text item (TATX).
which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX????
Someone told me that the text item is dummy and should be used as a manual of certain standard item. But the manual may be a book or several papers and it also takes up some inventory not a dummy.
So, could some body tell me what the text item (TATX) exact is and what function it has.
Best regard!
Tangdark

Hi,
you can use TATX if you like to enter a text and to print some information between the item lines.

How to make one of the columns in my tabular an text item with popup lov

Hello,
I want to manually make one of the columns say for the deptno in my tabular form as on text item popup lov using apex_item package
and whenever user clicks on the text item popup lov, it should open up an dept table report and from which he/she needs to select
the deptno and this deptno should be returned into the text item popup lov column.
like for example: say if i have an emp table tabular form with all the columns and deptno column as an popup lov and when user clicks on this column
it should open up an new sql report(similar to popup lov window), the select statement for this would be
select deptno,dname,loc from dept order by 1;
And from this popup lov report whenever an user selects a particular deptno, the same deptno should be returned to my text item popup column in emp tabular form.
something like this
select
"EMPNO",
"EMPNO" EMPNO_DISPLAY,
"ENAME",
"JOB",
"MGR",
"HIREDATE",
"SAL",
"COMM",
APEX_ITEM.TEXT(3,deptno,20,50,'readonly=true') || '<img height="16" align="middle" width="16" style="vertical-align: middle;" alt="Popup Lov" src="/i/lov_16x16.gif"/>' deptno
from "#OWNER#"."EMP"
like i made my column as an text item lov and now I want to write an onclick event for the text item lov so that an popup window is displayed which is a sql report of the table dept (select deptno,dname,loc from dept order by 1;) and in this report i want to make deptno as an link so that when ever an user clicks on it
-- this value should be returned to my text item popup lov column deptno in the emp tabular form.
can anyone help me out with this issue.
thanks,

Oracle 10g FRM-41051 on a non-database text item with a LOV

Hi all,
I'm struggling with a problem I'm convinced must have a really simple solution, but for the life of me I can't figure it out!
I have a data block called query. It is a non-DB block with a number of items, with either LOVs or drop down lists. It is used to choose values, which are them programatically 'translated' into values in two other database data blocks (which are populated in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger of a button in the non-DB block).
This is necessary as I have a slightly complex query which takes values from many different tables and displays bits of information from all the different tables.
My problem is that, on my text item (which has a LOV attached to it with Automatic Display set to Yes); when I click on it, I expect the LOV to show and I am able to choose a value from it. Instead I get the error 'FRM-41051 You cannot create records here' and the LOV does not display.
I don't understand this. Everything on the block is a non-DB item, including the block itself, and I don't want to 'create' any records, all I want to do is choose values into my text items which I can then use in a DB query (written in my trigger).
What am I doing wrong?
Abigail

Probably this other item or block has got property insert allowed to FALSE.
I have suggested you to use a push button in order to check that everything in the LOV is OK.
Lov can also return value to item in another block; probably in your case there is something that fires the error.
Normally when I develop my form I disable on-error and on-message trigger in order to follow every step at runtime...
I'm happy that you have resolved your problem :D

SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(:SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE_NAME');2. Create another trigger on block-level called POST-TEXT-ITEM and use the code as below...

Trying to create a text item with a scroll bar in Indesign 5.5

Is there a simple way to create a scrollable text article in Indesign 5.5? It will later be exported to a SWF as a mini-flash web portfolio.
I would appreciate any help.
I'm new to Indesign.

Do you mean a text box people can type in (for a Web form
entry) or one for displaying your content?
If the first, then you use the textarea tag and scrollbars
appear when the user types more lines that you specify. See the
textarea
description at W3Schools.
If the second, then that's usually done in Flash, but can be
done with CSS. See these two pages:

Render text item with procedure call

I have made several custom item types with custom attributes, and I use a procedure calls to render them in my region.
For example, the pl/sql call from the item can look like: portal.write_text and I use p_id and p_text as attribute parameters.
When I render the Text attribute it shows with no new lines (no <p>) although it is written with it in the item wizard.
How can I render the text attribute exactly as it supposed to be? (with <p>'s)
/Malin

Even simpler:
procedure showTextItem (p_itemid IN INTEGER, p_siteid IN INTEGER, p_language IN VARCHAR2) is
   theText varchar2(32767);
   begin
      select i.text
         into theText
         from portal.wwsbr_all_items i
         where i.id = p_itemid
         and   i.caid = p_siteid
         and   i.is_current_version = 1
         and   i.active = 1
         and    (i.language = p_language
                    or ( exists -- a row for the item in the page group default language
                          (select pg.id

                           where pg.id = i.caid
                           and   pg.default_language = i.language
                         and not exists -- a row for the item in the current language
                          (select i2.id
                           from wwsbr_all_items i2
                           where i2.id = i.id
                           and   i2.language = p_language
                           and   i2.is_current_version = 1
                           and   i2.active = 1
      htp.p(theText);
   exception
      when others then htp.p(sqlerrm);
   end;Note the conditions on language, active status, and current version - you should include these conditions
whenever you query from wwsbr_all_items.

Problem with comparing text item with hidden item

Hi all,
I have two items, one text field which has a user name and other item which is hidden which also has a username input from a file.
I want to compare these two items.
But when both items are text fileds am able to compare, but when one is made hidden unable to compare.
Please help on this......
thanks,
Srini

Hi Srini,
As long as you understand that the user can change the value of ANY field, even it is hidden, then I would suggest something like:
1 - Hide your existing Login button. On the button definition, in "Button Display Attributes" add the following into the Attributes setting:
style="display:none"2 - In the Login region's Region Footer, create a new button:
<input type="button" class="t12Button" value="Login" onclick="javascript:checkNames();">(Note that I have used a class name of "t12Button" - change this to match your current theme)
3 - Underneath that, add in your javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkNames()
if ($v('field1name') == $v('field2name'))
doSubmit('loginbuttonname');
</script>Then, when the user clicks the new Login button, this triggers your javascript. This checks that the values for field1name and field2name match. If they do, if fires the normal submit for the page (the same as if you clicked the original Login button)

How can Highlight a text item with Visual Attributes

DEAR ALL,
I have an emp_dept_date block and in that block there are item by the name of to_dates in tabular form there are many dates display when user double click on the current date or any date it show the data of that date in the next block. i want to create a (when button pressed) in my Control Block that when button press the current date color changed automatically so for that what should i wirte in when button pressed.
Thanks for your cooperation
Regards,
Kamran J. Chaudhry

the is for first item in a block
Set_Item_Instance_Property('emp_dept_date.to_date', CURRENT_RECORD, VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'date');
this is for second item in a block
Set_Item_Instance_Property('emp_dept_date.DAILY_ID', CURRENT_RECORD, VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'date');
(emp_dept_date) is block name
(to_date & daily_id) is an item name
date is an visual attribute name which we create our self to define a color we want to change for the items we want to.
these both visual attributes will solve the when we click when button pressed in that change the color of the items in the block you want to change

: Hi
: You need that scrollbar under the item? You can set length
of

item
: char(30) with size of 10 characters.
An alternative is to declare the item as a multi-line text item
with wrap set on. This would give you a vertical scroll bar on
the item.
Another option is to programmaticaly pop up an Editor, each time
focus is moved to the item, or to actually change the width of
the item when focus moves to it (and shrink it back when focus
moves away.

Problems with IE and text item

Hi,
I have a problem with IE (v6.0) when I add an text item to a region. IE puts 2 records with the same content into the DB (table wwv_text), Mozilla only 1.
The Problem is, if I change the text of the item with IE, Mozilla, doesn't show the changes made, due to the fact, IE only changes one of the two records and Mozilla reads exactly the other one.
But if I add a text item with Mozilla, only one record is stored in the DB.
Is this a portal or IE bug?
PS: I have disabled version control on the entire page group.

hi dorian,
is it possible that you add an item in a different language if you are using internet explorer. in this case 2 records are created. one for the base language and one for the translation. this also explains that you do not see the edited version of the item in the other browser - in case you are using a different language.
a good technote related to this topic:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/cm_main_10g_translation_tech_note.html
just an idea...
