Tooltip popup on a tabular form to display data

on a tabular form I have a comments field that can become much larger than the size of the filed on the screen and the user doesn't want to scroll..
I want to do a javascript onHover to display the full amount of data in a popup tooltip bubble.. similar to some of these:
http://speckyboy.com/2009/09/16/25-useful-jquery-tooltip-plugins-and-tutorials/
but all of these examples are displaying the information from the TITLE of the field..
how to I display the data based on the field being hovered over on the tabular form..
Thanks

PopUp LOVs in tabular forms

Hi,
I've discovered a problem using Popup LOVs in tabular forms, whereby on selecting a value from the LOV the key value is displayed on the form instead of the display value.
Having searched this forum it would appear I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem, but I've had no luck in finding an explanation for this behaviour or a solution / workaround.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Andrew.

A Popup LOV is just a normal Input field with the option to popup another window, select a value and return that value to the field. On the popup window, the "display" value is shown to the user to make it easier to select the right value, but the "return" value is returned to the field as this is the value that needs to be stored on the database.
As a normal input field, it can only hold and, therefore, display one value.
Select Lists, on the other hand, store the "return" value but show the "display" value because that is how Select Lists are designed to operate.
You can show the "display" value in a second field for data that is already on the database by using the "Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)", based on the same database column as for the Popup LOV field and using the same LOV table.
However, the only way to get a "display" value for a new/edited record would be to either submit the page or design your own popup which can pass values back into two fields. Either way, you need two fields.
Unless someone else has found a way around this?????

Custom Popup on a Tabular Form for Multi Row Operation

I am trying to implement a custom popup on a tabular form that I can pass a value typed in to a text item like âNameâ to the popup so it can filter a list of names on what was already typed in.
Once a selection is made I need to have the selected name passed back to the text item.
This is easily done when not using a Tabular Form. Any ideas would be great?

Can someone please help me with this?
I've read the Thread:

I've also tried to integrate the instructions provided by RWeide in response within the same Thread.

Why doesn't a Popup Key LOV (named LOV) in a tabular form not display values in the popup?

I have a tabular form and I'm setting one of the fields to a Popup Key LOV (named LOV). The named LOV is a static LOV. When the popup is displayed there are no values displayed. The same thing happens if I use a Popup LOV (named LOV).
I created a sample application http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15762:1that shows what happens. When the job field popup is selected, no items are displayed. If I change the item to a Select List (named LOV) it works fine.
Is this a bug?

Hi
I am also getting the same issue. Hope it could be a bug.
Can anyone plz confirm this?
Thanks

Theme 23 does not display popup LOV in tabular form

I created new application using new Theme 23. In tabular form the popup LOV button does not show. While using this theme the column LOV button is soooooo small it is not visible. If I move the cursor on the side of the field eventually I cursor handle will change and I can click and popup LOV will show. When I switch to an older theme (e.g. 21) the LOV button shows just fine.
Does anyone can offer a solution? Can I expect more this type of problems in the new theme 23?

I examined exported application file. Indeed the problem is p_column_id parameter. It should be decimal number for translated application. Characters %2C in p_column_id value stands for comma. It should be dot instead. Parameter value should be p_column_id=30289208519476123679.915121.

Popup window for tabular form row edition

To edit existing or new rows in a tabular form (page 1), I would like to open a popup window (page 2) with fields mirroring original tabular form fields. So, some basic data can be viewed/typed in the tabular form and the whole of the record data are viewed/typed on a separate popup form.
On opening popup, I pass a tabular form's current line number (filled with up to three zeros on the left).
When the user clicks on OK button on popup page, data will be put to the corresponding tabular form row. That should allow me to get /set tab form data from popup using following syntax:
opener.document.getElementById('f04_' + line).value
However, when I call data-initialization javascript function on onload of the popup form, popup fields to be filled are not rendered yet. At which point (and how) could I call this javascript initialization function?
Another question. With Firebug Inspector, I see that right in front of each tab form data tag, there is a "label" tag with the name of the column as it was defined in report attributes. As long as I have a information, opener.document.getElementById, what HTML/Javascript syntax should I use to get to this label tag?
Igor

OK, the first part of question is OK now. Simply, I was putting a javascript code calling my initialization predure in the HTML Body Attribute section of the page, instead of simply writing there: onload="initFunction();"
The second one stands still: once I have a tabular form's element id like f20_0003, how can I get to the symbolic name, e.g., "FIRST_NAME", that is in the label tag in the same table cell?

Tabular form. No data displayed

Hi everybody,
I have a tabular form which uses application items to query data. User enters the page from the first page that contains calendar by clicking on any date. If the date has any records assigned to it, the tabular form shows them for view/editing/delete. If no data found, it displays "No data found" message.
I start a new session and get to the tabular form page by clicking on the date without any records. Then, when I return to the first page (calendar) and click on the date that has records assigned, the tabular form doesn't show any records. What is really weird, is that it even doesn't show "No data found" message. I see only the form header with column names.
In debug I found the following info about the form:
print column headings
rows loop: 0 row(s)
pagination
All page elements, based on the same query are shown successfully, so the query, as well as item values are correct.
Apex version: 4.0.2.00.07
Please, help me to solve the problem!
Elena

Hello everybody,
Just for the information, the issue has been resolved. The problem was in "Add Row" apex process that was used to generate a new row in a tabular form on a page load. As soon as I removed it from the page and created a dynamic action that runs javascript AddRow() function instead, all the records in the report have become visible.
The conclusion: use this process "Add Row" carefully as it can behave in a strange way.
Cheers,
Elena

Tabular Form - submit custom data and insert/update records

I have a tabular form with 2 columns representing table data and 5 more custom columns.
Task ID
Task Name
10/7/2013 to 10/13/2013
10/14/2013 to 10/20/2013
10/21/2013 to 10/27/2013
10/28/2013 to 11/3/2013
11/4/2013 to 11/10/2013
1
TASK1
2
TASK2
3
TASK3
I use an sql which returns null values for columns 3 to 7. Then I use the html formatting option of apex and jquery to add change the headers to weeks and add checkboxes.
My sql: select task_id, task_name, null week1, null week2, null week3, null week4, null week5 from <table name>
My table has the columns task id, task name , start_date and end_date.
When the user clicks the submit button, i need to send the checkbox data to my stored procedure and insert records into the corresponding table. I am unable to find out how to send a mapping of the task_id, date headers in each column and the checkbox data to apex back end and process them. For example, if the first check box in first row is checked, i should insert a row with values "1, TASK1, 10/7/2013, 10/13/2013". I also have to read the data from the table and display it in the same format. Please let me know how to accomplish this in apex.

instead of using null, you can use apex_item api to create check boxes
read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_item.htm#CHDDCHAF
you can set the value of check boxes using apex_item api and then the value can be captured in your process
check this: Martin Giffy D'Souza on Oracle APEX: APEX Report with checkboxes (advanced).
let me know if this answers your query in the current thread

Tabular form loses entered data on return from error page after validation

APEX 3.2
I have a manually-built tabular form with validation. I display the error on the error page. When using Firefox and Chrome, when returning from the error page, the data I entered in the tabular form is still displayed. When using IE, that data is NOT retained.
This worked properly at one time in IE.
Suggestions?
Thanks,

Tabular Form Read Only Date Picker

Hello,
I have two or three Items with date pickers and do not want to implement
this code because it will be too many buttons on my form. I need to clear one item
at a time when the datepicker is readonly but, in a tabular form.
function f_clear_items()
    {$x('P1_ITEMA').value = ''};
    {$x('P1_ITEMB').value = ''};
    }Then once I create a url button and pass this function I can clear the datepicker's. But, I
was wondering is there a cleaner way to this.
I have other items on the page that are named the same but, in different tables. I only want
to clear each date picker item at a time. This code works fine for a regular form.
-Element Post Element Text for the Item to Clear
a href="javascript:setValue('P1_ITEMA','');">Clear Date</aThere is a thread named 'How to clear a read only page Item...?' that states how this code works but, does not
work for a tabular form in a Master Detail page. There is a link on side the Date Picker to clear item specified but, in a tabular form Item, there is no Element tab, any ideas on how to clear a readonly date picker item using a tabular form
and not using a button for each item, thanks in advance. I am using Application Express 3.2.0.00.27.

Dan,
I totally understand your point of view. So, this tabular form aspect was not tested once the Clear Date link was discovered to clear a Read Only date field. Yes, using a button to clear a date is great but, I do not want to clear every date or specified item with the click of one button for this application. It is very useful but, not for my needs at the moment.
Basically, if a date is selected and it needs to be cleared out you can just delete the value. But, if the date is readonly you can not clear/delete the date value unless you have the Clearing functionality for a particular item using the datepicker. It may not be worth the trouble Dan like you state by adding this extra code to the calender. If an invalid date is entered an error will appear anyway.
Thanks alot Dan for expanding my mind and showing me some JQuery and providing me with this link to do some further research if needed, thanks again.

Saved Forms Not Displaying Data

I have a licensed version of Adobe Acrobat Professional that I have never had this problem before with any of my forms. It was not until the Adobe Updater updated my Acrobat Pro to Adobe Acrobat Pro X that I began experencing problems with my forms.
I created a form that I type data into it, then save it with a new file name and email to recipients. These recipients used to be able to open the .pdf file and read the data in this nice form. Now, whenever they open the file, they only see the form without any of the saved data I typed into the form. Does anyone know why this is happening? If so, then what is the fix to make all the data typed into the form display when someone opens the file. I didn't pay over $600 for this not to work properly.

Will this issue go away if I downgrade to my older version? This is pretty annoying that none of my forms are displaying the saved data, considering this is the ONLY reason I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro??????

Adding Field in Form not Displaying Data

I recently added a field to a table in our database and then added it to a form. For some reason, it is not showing in Oracle Forms (10g) when I bring it up. I have several other fields from the same table that show fine. I verified that I was looking at records w/ data in that particular field and have been all over the properties in forms to see if I could fix it but nothing has worked. There is a relation b/w data blocks but nothing has changed w/ that or needs to.
FYI, same issue occurs in the 6i version of forms.
I would appreciate any ideas you have to get this data to display. Thanks.

I just did what I think you would have been trying to do and the data shows up for me. The only thing I can think of that you might have missed is to set the Column name under the Database section in the properties sheet for the block item representing the new field.

How to find COPA Forms Last Display Date

Hi,
Is there a table that can provide information about the COPA forms; i.e. which reports are using which form/s and the date when the form was last used? I have to delete some reports and forms that they are based of that are not being used for long time. I just want to make sure that I do not delete any form which any of the reports will be using.

Date popup validation in manual tabular form

Hey all-
I'm creating a tabular form manually (i.e., with apex_collection) per instructions at OBE (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/ppt/odtug2008_marcie_young.pdf). Working fine, except I'm having a problem with apex_item.date_popup.
One of the fields I need to collect from the tabular form is a date. For the SQL report, the relevant item is apex_item.date_popup(9, null, c008, 'YYYY-MM-DD', 20, 10) (and c008 is the relevant column from the collection). The trouble comes in if a user types a bogus date into the date popup. I have validation code to check this, but before running that code, I have to store the user's new entries into the collection. So basically my steps are:
1. display the tabular form w/ a SQL report containing apex_item.date_popup
2. use an update collection PL/SQL process to store the user data into the collection (process point = On Submit and Before Computation)
3. use a validation PL/SQL process to verify the data in the collection before processing the update
All that works, and the validation identifies the bad date. But then the page tries to render the tabular form again (so the user can fix the bad date), but the apex_item.date_popup(9, null, c008, 'YYYY-MM-DD', 20, 10) column fails b/c of the bad date. I need a way to programmatically create a date popup and populate it with (potentially) invalid data. Any ideas?
Thanks
Rob

Problem solved. Tossed the lackluster apex_item.date_popup and replaced w/ jQuery datepicker.
