Tooltip for column header sorting

If I enable column header sorting, is there a way to put a tooltip (HTML 'title' property, I guess) on the column header saying 'Click here to sort by this column'?
The triangle image shows this alt text but that triangle image is shown only next to the column that is currently sorted, not all the columns.
[My column headings come from a custom PL/SQL function, not declaratively on the Report Attributes page]
Thanks

See
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:28
The following seems to work.
Add this javascript to the Page Attributes Header section
<script type="text/javascript">
function AddTooltip()
var l_link;
var l_hrefs=document.links;
for (var i=0; i < l_hrefs.length; i++) {
l_link=l_hrefs;
if (l_link.href && l_link.href.indexOf('fsp_sort_')>=1) {
l_link.title="This is a tooltip"
</script>
Then call it from the onLoad as follows
onLoad="AddTooltip();"
Seems to work like a charm.
Thanks
BTW, anyone know how to prevent the [ i ] inside a [ pre ] from being interpreted as an italic tag? I thought all text inside a PRE tag is left untouched?

How to implement column header sort

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to configure Oracle 9i AS Portal Release 2 column header sort.
In Portal, Oracle has setup the IDE to sort your columns using arrow keys in the
column headers. I would like to do the same thing without using the Custom Form.
TIA,
Daniel N

I would suggest using the built in Collections framework for sorting.
have class A implement the Comparable interface then implement the compareTo method as follows:
public int compareTo(Object o) {
    A a = (A)o; // <-- may cause ClassCastException if (o instanceof A) != true, but that should not be a problem.
    int value = attr1.compareTo(a.attr1);
    if (value != 0) return value;
    value = attr2.compareTo(a.attr2);
    if (value != 0) return value;
    value = a.attr3.compareTo(attr3); //Notice I switched a.attr3 and attr3 for desc
    return value;
}That should do it for you.
Now put everything into an instance of java.util.List and pass that to java.util.Collections.sort(java.util.List);
If you didn't create class A, and therefore can't add a method to it, then implement a Comparator. The idea is the same, just look at the java.util.Comparator API and use java.util.Collection.sort(java.util.List, java.util.Comparator) method to sort;

Column header sorting: Checkboxes

Column header sorting doesnt seem to work like one would expect when the column is a checkbox rendered using htmldb_item.checkbox().
If I have a some boxes checked, some unchecked on a page and I click on the column header, I would expect all the checked and unchecked boxes to show up together. But they dont. Does the HTML for the checkbox interfere with the sorting? Is there a way to make it sort what you see on screen?
Thanks

Vikas,
What you get when using htmldb_item calls in your query are varchar2 columns. So itâs ordered by the resulting strings, including all HTML tags that are rendered by that procedure. You might be able to do what you are describing by using Tylerâs sorting hack somehow:

How to give tooltip on column heading of report

Hi im using seibel analytics, i want to give tooltip on column heading of the report.
How is it possible.
Thanks in advance...

Hi
have you tested the description filed of presentation layer?

Query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting

I'm getting the following error when I try to include "ORDER BY" in my sql statement :
"Your query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting enabled"
I have used other sql statements with "ORDER BY" but this is the first time I have come across this and I don't understand why it's going wrong. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could fix it? Here is one of the sql statements which I have tried which is giving me the error:
select "ID_NUMBER",
"PROJECT_NAME",
"PROJECT_TYPE",
"OWNER",
"PRIORITY",
"STATUS",
"END_DATE",
"COMMENTS"
from "PROJECT"
WHERE "STATUS" != 'Completed' AND "STATUS" != 'Cancelled'
ORDER BY "END_DATE"
Regards,
Ed.

You must deselect column heading sorting that is in the page "Report Attributes" .This is a check box placed on the same line of the element of the report.

Column header sorting: NULLS first/last

Column header sorting doesnt seem to support the NULLS FIRST /LAST feature of the SQL ORDER BY clause.
So, if my data has nulls in it, I cant control where they appear when I click on the column header to sort it.
Is this added to the upcoming 2.0 version?
Thanks

Same question over here: in the J2EE app that I'm rebuilding with Apex, we use NULLS last in all pages, wether order is descending or ascending.
Is 'nulls first/last' supported in any way now?
Are there workarounds to achieve this?
Thanks,

Setting tooltip for columns in a JTable

Hi!
I have a JTable inside a JScrollPane. How do I set tooltip for each columnheader of the JTable?
I have noted that if I don�t have the JTable within the JScrollPane, the columnheaders are not shown.
Regards
Johan

1) You need to set the tooptip text on the renderer for the column (yourTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(...).getHeaderRenderer()).
2) The header is a separate component to the table. When you add a table to a scroll pane it automatically adds the header to the scroll pane too. You can get the component (yourTable.getTableHeader()) and add it to your own container if you wish.

Column header sort - case sensitivity issue

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with the built in column sorting when you click the headers on a report. Basically case sensitivity is taken into account and capital letters get sorted before smaller case letters, for example:
Cats
Dogs
Zebra
ants
bears
How would I be able to fix this built in sort?
Thanks,
Luis

Luis,
See if Denes's solution helps: Report sort by column header question .

Column header sorting

Is there a way I can click on a displayed column (A) and have the actual sort be performed on the value in another hidden column B?
Thanks

Yes.
select empno,ename
from empEdit the report attributes > Edit the Empno Column
In the "HTML Expression" field near the top, of the empno column attributes page, type in:
#ENAME#
Save it then un-check the "show" column for ename on the report attributes page. You can also change the column header for empno to "Name" (or whatever you want).
Basically, you are displaying the ename data in the empno column. It will sort on empno, but display ename.
Thanks,
Tyler

Can clicking on column heading sort the column contents instead of drill in

I have a pivot table with data that the client doesn't want to drill into. Instead, they want to be able to click the column heading and have the pivot table re-sort the data in the table based on the data in that column. Is that possible, or are clickable column headings only used for drilling in OBIEE? Thanks.

Madan -
That seems like a feature that should be added to the Pivot Table view if they are going to have it in the Table View. Still, thanks for pointing out the "Enable column sorting in Dashboards" check box in the Table view. I'll see if I can either get this data into the Table view, or at least let the client know the limitations of OBIEE.
Thanks again.
Daniel

Problem with column heading sorting

I have a problem with a classic report.
I created a simple report. We want to sort the report, when we click the column heading. But when we cklick on the column heading, nothing happens. In firefox we get the error "apex.jQuery.datepicker is undefined".
When we created another simple report and connect against another database (but the same web-server), we can sort the report, when we cklick a column heading. On both databases we installed the same apex version (=4.0.1.00.03).
on "apex.oracle.com" (workspace:ama / user:demo / pwd:demo) I created an example.
what is wrong?? Can anyone help me ??
Thanks
Robert

Hi Jari,
yes, you are right. I changed my query. I attempted to find a solution and so I changed the query several times => I used other tables, with or without date columns, with or without columns in the select and so on.
You said, the problem is the authentication scheme. It crossed my mind that I do another change:
during the creation of my application apex created a login page => page 101. For my example application I don't need a login page, and so I droped the page. After starting the application I saw the error message "page 101 not found ". So I searched for a property where apex definies the "start page" respectively "login page". But I don't found anything. Then I looked into the export file and searched for "101". I found the package procedure "wwv_flow_api.create_auth_setup" and the parameter "p_invalid_session_page", which receive the value "101". In apex the property "Session Not Valid Page" was blank. So I inserted the page number "1" (=the first and sole page in my application).
After the explained changes I could start my report.
I don't know, whether these informations help to find the problem!
Regards
Robert

Background color for column heading

Hi,
I have 5 columns in my report and I would like to have different background color for column headings. How can I do this in report templates?
I was looking at Column heading section-
<th class="t10ReportHeader"#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
How can I specify backgrund colors for all columns here?
Thanks in advance

G'day Karen,
Thanks for ur reply.
I have seen this note before, its not that the header colors have changed after latest SP was applied in our systems. Also the ABAP and JAVA stacks are in sync.
Scenario is that we are trying to set up a new Portal theme for Enterprise Reporting with some specific color codes (hex codes).
What i have observed is Characterstics Header background color is set up using the element "Background Color of Level 1 Column Heading ".
While the Background color for Key Figures header is using element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading ".
But the problem is element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading " is also used as the Background color for Standard Characterstics cell, so if we make it same the whole report of the same color, which we dont want.
Requirement is to get the same Background color for Header cells (both Char. and Key Figure headers).
Any further suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

Dynamic values for column header / "AS" using XMLFOREST

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to show data from a select statement into an AS column, e.g. SELECT col.a AS col.b.
The reason I need this is for XMLFOREST, as I need the value of a SELECT statement to be the column name, so that it will be the value of the element. e.g. <col.b></col.b>
Anyone know if/how I can do this?
