Trouble validating a radio group

So I created a form with some text fields and a text area. I
highlighted the submit button and then went to add a behavior to
"validate form". I was able to make the text fields I wanted
required.
Later I had to go back and add a radio group. However, when i
try to add the radio group as required, I do not see it listed on
the validate form behavior. Even if I delete the existing validate
form behavior and create a new one, I do not see the radio group
listed amongst the text fields so I can't make it required.
How come my radio group is not listed? How can I make it
required on the form? Thanks.

DW validation does not validate radio buttons. Try yaromats
free extension - it works well.

PHP Form Validation and Radio Group

Hi David,
I'm trying to set the initial state of a radio group to none.
Please look at the file http://ecopethandbags.com/contact.php. The initial state is set to "No"
In Dreamweaver, I've set the initial state to "Unchecked"
I don't understand the code for the radio buttons in my file (see attachment).
What I am trying to do is to have the radio group initially unchecked but required.
I have 2 questions:
1) - How can I control the initial status of the radio group when I use the PHP form validation?
2) - How can I set the validation so, when one of the radio buttons is not checked by the user, a warning flag like "Please make a choice" comes up.
Thank you much!

Just change the following section of code:
<?php
if (!$_POST || isset($missing) && $_POST['subscribe'] == 'n') {
echo 'checked="checked"';
} ?>
Remove the !$_POST || like this:
<?php
if (isset($missing) && $_POST['subscribe'] == 'n') {
echo 'checked="checked"';
} ?>
The checked="checked" will be inserted into the code only if the form has been submitted, but neither radio button has been selected.

Read-only radio group losing value on validation error

It took quite a while to track this down, but I think I've got it narrowed down properly. I have an APEX form for updating a record in a databse table with a radio group which is conditionally read-only. If that radio group has a value AND is read-only, when the form is submitted and hits a validation error, the value of the radio group is lost.
For example, the radio group SUBMITTED_FOR_APPROVAL is set to Y and is read-only for a given user. That user then changes something else on the form and submits it. However, the form now hits a validation error for some field. When the form reloads with the validation error displayed, all the fields are restored except the read-only radio group which is now blank. If a select list is used with the identical read-only condition, it works fine. Likewise, if a radio group is used, but the read-only condition is removed, it works fine. It is only when it is a radio group and it is read-only, that the value does not appear to be submitted to the session with all the form values whent he form is submitted.
Is this a bug or am I simply missing something?
Apex 3.1.2
Rgds/Mark M.

It's using a shared component LOV cleverly called LOV_YN which consists of a static LOV with
1 Display=Yes, Return=Y
2 Display=No, Return=N
The settings in the LOV section on the item iteself:
Named LOV: LOV_YN
Display Extra values: No Dynamic translation: Not translated
Number of columns: 2 Display null: No
Null display value is blank as is null return value
Item was setup as a radio group and was only converted over to a select list to work around this issue. Let me know what else you need and thanks again.

Read Only Display of Radio group and Text area with counter not working

Hello,
I am using Apex 3.2, with 10g for the database
I have this form, with fields that will set to read only when status = 'closed'
All of the fields display as read only except for 2. I cannot figure out why this is not working correctly.
1st field is Issues that is a text area with character counter, with a sql query behind it, that is set to null unless the query is pulling in the data.
2nd field is Status which is a radio group that will not display as read only when status = 'closed'
I have other fields on the form with the same format and they change to read only when the status = 'closed', I have even copied the pl/sql expression from one field to these fields and it still doesn't work correctly. I have also tried javascript for an on load event, which works, but once I click on the save button, it disables all of the page items, which works correctly, but I purposely forget to enter information, to make sure the validations are firing correctly, which it does, but the script disables everything, not allowing me to correct the errors. The javascript is firing on the on page load event.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Dung,
That API seems to have a bug, it returns true/false/null, so you could use 'return not nvl(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name => 'APP Admin'),false)' to get a false value.
Unfortunately there's another problem: using the read-only attributes for checkbox or radiogroup item makes them hidden. My suggestion would be to create another item that has disabled="disabled" in the HTML Form Element attribute in the item definition and display that item or the non-disabled item alternately, using conditions based on the current_user_in_group logic.

FRM - 40212 / FRM - 40222 error on a radio group during query

Hi all,
This is my first post so please bear with me if I haven't provided sufficient information or am unclear at all.
I'm using Forms Builder (Web) on a 10g Database. I have a number of database and non-database items as part of a data block.
My problem is that, when I enter a value in any field and click the query button, I get a FRM-40212 Invalid value for field error on my radio group (disabled, non-database item that is programatically populated in the post-query and list-changed triggers only). When I click ok, I get a FRM-40222 Disabled Item Failed Validation error on the same radio group.
This does not happen if I click the 'Enter Query' button before entering values into fields, however I don't want my users to encounter this error if they try to query without clicking on 'Enter Query' first.
I'd like to know why exactly does this error happen - what does it mean?
I've read in other forums that setting the item's Required property to false solves this issue. But how can I do this with a radio group? And if it's not possible, does anyone have any suggestions for other workarounds?
Thanks in advance,
Abigail

Hi,
You can avoid this by setting 'Mapping of other values' to the one fo the radio buttons value.Like if you have to radio button radio1 and radio2 associated with radio group R1 ,then set any radio buttons initial value to this 'Mapping of other values' property of radio button R1.You won't see this error.
This error occurs because your loading a screen without assigning a value to the radio button.
If this helps mark question as answered or helpfull.
Thanks,
Pavan.

Dynamic action on radio group in tabular form

Hi,
I'm very new to APEX and I've tried searching the web, but I can't seem to find a good answer for my problem. I have a page in APEX with a tabular form with 6 columns. The last column is supposed to show/hide a button for each row based on the value of a radio group (static LOV) with 2 options in column 5. I want to do this with a dynamic action on the radio group, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this. Since the radio group is in a tabular form it's not an item and so I can't just select it in the dynamic action wizard. I figure I have to use a JQuery selector here, but my knowledge of this is very limited.
I've created the button in the select statement for the tabular form like this:
select
"ROWID",
"DATA_COLLECTION_ID",
"ID",
"VARIABLE_NO",
"VARIABLE_NAME",
"DATA_TYPE",
'<a href="javascript:epf.dialog.open(''f?p=&APP_ID.:18:&SESSION.::::P18_ROWID,P18_ID:'||ROWID||','||ID||''',800,700);" id="Category" class="epf-button">Definer Kategori</a>' category
from "MATH_USER"."STA_VARIABLES"
where "DATA_COLLECTION_ID" = :P17_IDAny help would be greatly appreciated.

You must make the jquery selector based on column name (inspect your column using firebug/chrome and see the name attribute of the column form element, it will in format f0x).
Look at my original code below and i am controlling a column with name f01

It still doesn't work for me. From what I understood from the "Incorporating JavaScript into an application" page I should put the code in the JavaScript section. I tried that too, but nothing changed. So now I'm thinking there is something wrong with the code itself?
YES
this is my original code
function test(pThis) {
//get the curren row index on change
var currIndex = $('select[name="'+pThis.name+'"]').index(pThis);
if (pThis.value=='20') {
$('input[name="f01"]')[currIndex].style.display = 'block';

I can't get formMail.php to recognize my simple Spry Radio Group button

I don't know php at all, but I have a dreamweaver form that sends its information to a document called "formmail.php" and that sends the email to me.
I was able to add text fields by duplicating the text field code in the formmail.php file and it does work, BUT i don't know what code should be on the file to process the radio button information. The radio button group is made up of 2 buttons "Yes" and "No"
This is a abbreviated version of "formmail.php"
<body>
<?php
$name=addslashes($_POST['name']);
$address=addslashes($_POST['address']);
$email=addslashes($_POST['email']);
$radioGroup1=addslashes($_POST['arrangements']);
$comments=addslashes($_POST['message']);
// you can specify which email you want your contact form to be emailed to here
$toemail = "[email protected]";
$subject = "From the VFS website";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
 ."From: \"".$name."\" <".$email.">\n"
 ."Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$body = "Name: ".$name." \n"
 ."Address: ".$address." \n"
."Email: ".$email." \n"
."Have you made pre-arrangements?: ".$radioGroup1." \n"
 ."Comments: \n"
 .$comments;
if (!ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+$", $email))
 echo "That is not a valid email address. Please return to the"
 ." previous page and try again.";
 exit;
 mail($toemail, $subject, $body, $headers);
 echo "Thanks for submitting your comments";
?>
</body>
</html>
And this is what the code for my Spry Radio Group button is looking like.

 <label>
 <input type="radio" name="RadioGroup1" value="Yes" id="RadioGroup1_0">
 Yes </label>
 <label>
 <input type="radio" name="RadioGroup1" value="No" id="RadioGroup1_1">
 No</label>
 
 

Please help - I'm lost!

The post form method gets a variable, by name and sends that value to your processor. You have called $_POST['attachments'] which is the name of the container tag and not of the radio group. So change:
$radioGroup1=addslashes($_POST['arrangements']);
to
$radioGroup1=addslashes($_POST['RadioGroup1']);
That changes the arrangements to the RadioGroup1 which is the name you gave the radio group.

Mandatory is checked when exiting radio groups, but not text fields?

I have a form with many questions, and most all of them are required. When tabbing out or otherwise exiting a radio group, the user gets warned if they did not select an item. When tabbing out of a text field, nothing happens. The user does get warned about the empty text fields if they try to submit the form.

The following is a very basic/general script used to check/test if a field's value is null after the user exits out of the field. Note that it will not prevent the user from submitting the form, however, it seems you are covering that "validation" via other means (i.e. field property).
if (this.rawValue == null){
xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a value in this field. It can't be left empty", "REQUIRED", 0, 0);

Getting value of radio group in a report

i have multiple radio gropus(one group for each row) in my report. Each row can be identified either by my rownm or id. I am looping through my report rows once the page is submitted to get the values of each radio group but I am not able to make it work...here is my code. Any suggestions?
DECLARE
v_res number;
BEGIN
FOR i IN (SELECT q_id FROM svy_q)
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'begin select APEX_APPLICATION.G_F ' ||i.q_id|| ' (1) into '||v_res||' from dual; end;';
INSERT INTO SVY_R (R_ID,
Q_ID,
RESPONSE)
VALUES (1,
i.q_id,
v_res);
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;

Sorry, got my solution. There were unintended spaces in my SQL.

Clearing a Form or Radio Group on Click of a Button

Hi Experts,
I have a simple VC model which has BI Query as Data service and a Form is connected to it.
Form will be populated based on the input to the BI Query.
I have Few Input Fields, Drop Downs, Date files and Radio Groups in that form.

I was able to clear whole form by giving some garbage value to one of the fields.
But didnt find any way to clear only Radio Group.
Kindly let me know how can i reset only Radio Group in the above form.

Displaying a radio group in SQL QUERY report region

Good morning everyone,
I have a report in which a column - ORDER STATUS, will come in with a value of 1, 2 or 3...being order unfilled, order partially filled, or order filled, respectively.
I would like to display the order status as a radio group on the report so that it will be easy to run down the column of radio buttons to see what is filled, etc.
I've gone to the manual and checked the doco on HTMLDB_ITEM.RADIOGROUP. But the example given there is actually for CHECKBOX (is this an error?!?).
I went to the forums and found nothing suitable.
My region is an SQL QUERY. Can I display the STATUS as a radio group in the SELECT ?
This is the question.
Thankyou in anticipation. TC. 23/11/2004

Tony,
There may be better solutions, but here's what I was thinking:    create table orders (id number, status number, customer varchar(30))
    insert into orders (id,status,customer) values(1,1,'ACME')
    insert into orders (id,status,customer) values(2,2,'BENSON')
    insert into orders (id,status,customer) values(3,3,'CLARKE')
    commit
    Query Source
    select
      id "ORDER NUMBER",
      decode(status,
        1,htmldb_item.RADIOGROUP(1,status,'1','unfilled')||htmldb_item.RADIOGROUP(2,status,'2','partial','"disabled=true"')||htmldb_item.RADIOGROUP(3,status,'3','filled','"disabled=true"'),
        2,htmldb_item.RADIOGROUP(1,status,'1','unfilled','"disabled=true"')||htmldb_item.RADIOGROUP(2,status,'2','partial')||htmldb_item.RADIOGROUP(3,status,'3','filled','"disabled=true"'),
        3,htmldb_item.RADIOGROUP(1,status,'1','unfilled','"disabled=true"')||htmldb_item.RADIOGROUP(2,status,'2','partial','"disabled=true"')||htmldb_item.RADIOGROUP(3,status,'3','filled'))
      "STATUS",
      customer "Customer Name"
    from orders;Scott

Radio group in classic report based on another column on the same row.

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Application Express 4.1.0.00.32
How can I have a radio group column based on an LOV utilizing another column on the same row of the report?
For example: what if I had a survey application and depending on the likert scale that was assigned to the question there would be different possible answer choices:
Question 1 on row 1 of the report: The class instructor was friendly?
Likert scale choice is Agreement.
Choices on Radio Group: Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Strongly Disagree
Question 2 on row 2 of the report: The class offered good materials?
Likert scale choice is Quality.
Choices on Radio Group: Excellent, Below Average, Average, Above Average, Excellent
The radio group can change per row depending on the Likert scale assigned to the question which is assigned to a different column on the row.
Can LOV utilize the column? :
SELECT scale_text
FROM scale_choices
WHERE scale_category_choice_id = 2 <<= this would be the Likert scale identifier
ORDER
BY display_order

Here is the answer:
APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(
p_idx IN NUMBER,
p_value IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
p_query IN VARCHAR2,
p_attributes IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
p_show_null IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'YES',
p_null_value IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT '%NULL%',
p_null_text IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT '%',
p_item_id IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
p_item_label IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
p_show_extra IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'YES')
RETURN VARCHAR2;

Radio group / Image issues: additional labels - how do I get rid of them?

Hello experts,
I'm having a little issue with a radio group in VC on SPS 11.
The problem is that I need a radio group in a popup (not sure if that is relevant) - and I also can create this - but it creates a textfield (with a label that has the radio groups name as its text) as well, that is not shown during design time, but only after I deploy the model.
The annoying textfield is always displayed at the lower left corner of the popup.
How can I disable this?
On a related note, I'm also having a similar issue with Images: for an Image with name IMG3 it also displays a textfield with a label 'IMGFLD3" that shows the resource that is currently displayed in the image.
What can I do about this?
Best regards,
Florian

Hi Srini,
I used the following work around:
Instead of using one image UI control that has many images in the Control Properties -> Image tab (all with their respective visibility condition), I used many image UI controls with just one image each (and visibility condition 'true'), stacked them on top of each other, and used the 'hidden' property of the image control instead to select which image is displayed
Hope that helps, best regards,
Florian
