Two forms that update differrent tables on the same page?

I tried to add two forms that update different tables on to one page.
Problem is when I do that the forms gives me an error saying the field does not exist. It's like it is trying to update one table with the other tables fields.
As an example Say I have one forms that is for people table and another one that is the Jobs table.
When I go to update the people table, it sends the data for the jobs fields too I get an error like the field job description does not exist.
I have two different forms for these and everything.
I would hope it is possible to have two forms that update different tables on the same page.

I was trying the exact same thing, but i managed to work round it by setting the steps to hide one region, so the user would enter the form see one region submit the region then direct back to the same page with the different region visible and the original hidden.
I don't know if this would be acceptable for you...

Two tables on the same page. Is it possible?

Hi all,
I followed the multi-slect sample in Winston's blog and everything is working. However, when I tried to put two tables on the same page, the selections are all messed up. When I looked at the code again I realized the line
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
in the setSelected(Object object) method.
In the case that there are more than one tables on one page, how does the code which table it is refering to? Or how the code should be different so we can have multi tables with selectable rows on the same page? Thnx.

Thanks. But how do you tie the TableSelectPhaseListeners to their respected tables.
This is Winston's code for row select (1 table)
private TableSelectPhaseListener tablePhaseListener = new TableSelectPhaseListener();
public void setSelected(Object object) {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
if (rowKey != null) {
tablePhaseListener.setSelected(rowKey, object);
public Object getSelected(){
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return tablePhaseListener.getSelected(rowKey);
public Object getSelectedValue() {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return (rowKey != null) ? rowKey.getRowId() : null;
public boolean getSelectedState() {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return tablePhaseListener.isSelected(rowKey);
For two tables. Do I just repeat the code like this?
private TableSelectPhaseListener tablePhaseListener1 = new TableSelectPhaseListener();
public void setSelected1(Object object) {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
if (rowKey != null) {
tablePhaseListener1.setSelected(rowKey, object);
public Object getSelected1(){
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return tablePhaseListener1.getSelected(rowKey);
public Object getSelectedValue1() {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return (rowKey != null) ? rowKey.getRowId() : null;
public boolean getSelectedState1() {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return tablePhaseListener1.isSelected(rowKey);
private TableSelectPhaseListener tablePhaseListener2 = new TableSelectPhaseListener();
public void setSelected2(Object object) {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
if (rowKey != null) {
tablePhaseListener2.setSelected(rowKey, object);
public Object getSelected()2{
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return tablePhaseListener2.getSelected(rowKey);
public Object getSelectedValue2() {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return (rowKey != null) ? rowKey.getRowId() : null;
public boolean getSelectedState2() {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return tablePhaseListener2.isSelected(rowKey);

2 single selection tables on the same page

I used the following great article:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/winston?entry=single_selectable_row_table_component
to create a singlerow select table. But I want 2 of these tables on the same page of my tabset component.
On my page i have:
private TableSelectPhaseListener tablePhaseListener = new TableSelectPhaseListener();
public void setSelected(Object object) {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
if (rowKey != null) {
tablePhaseListener.setSelected(rowKey, object);
public Object getSelected(){
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return tablePhaseListener.getSelected(rowKey);
public Object getSelectedValue() {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return (rowKey != null) ? rowKey.getRowId() : null;
public boolean getSelectedState() {
RowKey rowKey = (RowKey)getValue("#{currentRow.tableRow}");
return tablePhaseListener.isSelected(rowKey);
but when I added the second table, I had to add the duplicate the above 4 methods, changing currentRow to currentRow2 and tablePhaseListener to tablePhaseListener2, and changing the method names. I also had to make these updates in 2 other places---on the JSP code, as well as in the JavaScript!! For just 2 tables this isn't too bad, but with more tables having to synchronize everything could get real ugly real fast. Am I doing something wrong?
Also,
It seems to work, however my IE browser is still reporting some minor Javascript errors that I don't get when I had only 1 single-row select table
Thanks,
-DM

I also went the route of duplicating all methods for the single-selectable row in a table.
I have at most on my pages two tables with selectable rows and I have not run into any javascript issues.
I have had a problem when I rename my tables from "table1" etc. The row selection does not work as well when I give my table objects meaningful names. I have not had the time to dig in and discover why.

For the same table in the same page, how to use 2 different forms (simple and tabular)?

Hello! How I can be on the same page with the same table insert and update operations using 2 different forms (single form and tabular form)
I have little knowledge of Apex, but I know PLSQL

Thank you Gramps. It took some time, but I've got it working now. I had to re-do all the user authentication actions from scratch for one of the databases, but it's finally behaving itself now. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

PASSING DATA FROM FORM INTO REPORT (how to on the same page)

Hello everybody
yes, i know it is built in a two pages design where the first holds the form and the second the report, but I want it both on the same page so that one can see what he has on the report while adds his own row to the table. Well I could do creating a form and then editing the page and then add another region. Alright. But then i dont know how to relate them together so that the data pass from the form to the report.
Besides, the Form for filling the data needs to pass them to two separate tables, because one table contains the particulars of the location and the other the comments about each store. Easy to do that on PHP and mysql but here I am lost.
Second thing that is driving me nuts is that I created a table named location so as to street postcode for a store, and another one for evaluation so that customers or workers add a a row evaluating services etc.
Well, I am trying to create that form i first talked about that would hold all the fields and I am doing it out of a SQL query that picks the definitions from both tables. My XE is completely empty from any leftovers of other applications etc. I make the equijoin alright
select l.loc_id, l.company, l.postcode, l.street,l.town, e.eval_id, e.loc_id, e.locum_reg, e.date_booked, e.items, e.addicts, e.number_staff, e.attitude_staff, e.organisation, e.stock_filing, e.agency
from location l, evaluation e
where l.loc_id = e.loc_id
and i get this annoying error all the time
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on equijoin. ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_LOC_ID" id="1324114494879878" ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_LOC_ID" id="1324114494879878" has same name as existing application-level item. ORA-0000: normal, successful completion
well, if that form is made up of both tables, it will definitively have to have something in common with them! how is the item name suppose to have another name? it is made with the wizzard so supposedly the wizzard should know it but I have tried for two days 14 hours each day.
any indication as to how solve this would be priceless for me
thank you
Alvaro

This should be so:
A person goes to work to place A
At the end of the day, he or she goes into the web fills the form and clicks the botton. Then, he or she has added a row to the form. As simple as that. But bear in mind that that form is comprised of data about the address and the comments, which are completely different entities, and not all elements of each entity is to appear in the report. That is why they have to go to two tables on the background and then the report pick from each table what it wants to show publiclly.
What I am actually trying to do is passing the values from the form into the two separate tables Location and Evaluation. Then I have already placed a select query under the report and I have seen that it updates itself as I manually filled the two tables so this process works fine. What I need is, instead of filling the tables manually as I am doing, fill them through the completion of the textfields of the form. This is so because not all the fields have to be shown on the report, for example, the person reporting will remain anonimous and that is something I am able to do by simply not including him in the select query of the report.
I am like exploring now the edit page possibilities and indeed I have discovered that the button of the Form that says create is associated with a Insert request on the database. Also i have seen that the way this works is by something like this P3_POSTCODE, &P3_POSTCODE where P3 is the item and &P3 is the value that is in the textfield associated with that item name.

How to make a link in a report open a Form in a different region of the same page ?

Hi,
I developped a report and a form for the same table. I also created a link and used it in my report so that when I click on the link of one record, the form is opened and display this record.
My problem is that when I include my report as a portlet and I click on a link, the form is opened in full screen mode by replacing the page containing my report.
What should I do in order to open this form in another region of the same page ?
Thanks a lot

I presume that the two regions are working fine with their individual buttons and your issue is how to make them both save with one button.
Here is how
a. You will have 2 ApplyMRU and 1 ApplyMRD processes for each of the regions. Right? Lets say you have 2 "Save" (i.e. label=Save) buttons, one has name SUBMIT and the other SAVE ( SUBMIT and SAVE being the requests that will be sent when they are clicked , respectively)
b. Make the Display condition on one of the buttons 'Never'. Now it won't show when you run the page. Lets say you made SAVE's conditional Display 'Never'
c. Go and change the condition on all ApplyMRU and ApplyMRD processes from "When Button Pressed" to "Request is contains in Expression1". In Expression1 enter SUBMIT,SAVERegards

I'm just guessing, but it appears since you are selecting loc_id twice (once from each table) there are two items generated called P2_LOC_ID, and that's simply not possible (well - how would the application know which one you mean if there could be two with the same name?).
Maybe it's worth trying the following:
select l.loc_id as "L_LOC_ID", l.company, l.postcode, l.street,l.town, e.eval_id, e.loc_id as "E_LOC_ID", e.locum_reg, e.date_booked, e.items, e.addicts, e.number_staff, e.attitude_staff, e.organisation, e.stock_filing, e.agency
from location l, evaluation e
where l.loc_id = e.loc_id
Another option is creating a view on the two tables (of course you must use 2 different column aliases for the two loc_id columns in the view too, otherwise you will receive an ORA-00957: duplicate column name) and use the view for creating reports and forms - however, automatic row processing works just on one table, so you would have to create your own processes to perform the DML...

Multiple details table on the same page

Newbi to APEX. Can I have muliple details table for update/insert in tabular format on the same page with the same master? Thanks!

In the meantime, I can answer to your questions:
· Why does JHeadstart not make use of the UIX-Struts integration (see Chapter 15 of the UIX developers Guide)?This has been done to allow the same page to be run both with Struts and MVC Framework, without needing to change the page. Using the UIX-Struts integration would have made the pages 'controller aware'.
· How do you specify which columns/attributes in a Table Layout are sortable?As far as generation is concerned, you can only specify the whole table to be sortable. In case of UIX you can post-gen modify the <sortableHeader> tag of each column separately. In case of JSP you can remove the <a href> tag for each column that you do not want to sort on.

How to insert into 2 tables from the same page (with one button link)

Hi,
I have the following 2 tables....
Employees
emp_id number not null
name varchar2(30) not null
email varchar2(50)
hire_date date
dept_id number
PK = emp_id
FK = dept_id
Notes
note_id number not null
added_on date not null
added_by varchar2(30) not null
note varchar2(4000)
emp_id number not null
PK = note_id
FK = emp_id
I want to do an insert into both tables via the application and also via the same page (with one button link). I have made a form to add an employee with an add button - adding an employee is no problem.
Now, on the same page, I have added a html text area in another region, where the user can write a note. But how do I get the note to insert into the Notes table when the user clicks the add button?
In other words, when the user clicks 'add', the employee information should be inserted into the Employees table and the note should be inserted into the Notes table.
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.

My pl/sql code is the same as posted earlier.
Upon inserting data into the forms and clicking the add button, I get this error...

Is there something wrong with the pl/sql code or is it something else?

Two JavaScript widgets won't work on the same page [was: Not the first time]

I ran into this a few months back and gave up on it. I have a page that has several javascripts running on it. They are:
vnu_datestamp.js
a flashing neon text script (inline)
DW's own rollover image (MM_swapimgRestore) script (also inline)
jquery1.2.2_pack.js
overlapviewer.js
lightbox.js (which also relies on scriptaculous.js, prototype.js and an "effects.js" to run)
I know that's a "garbage pail" of javascripts to all be on the same page. Frankly I'm surprised that they don't all give me problems. But there is one.
The lightbox and overlap viewer just will not play together.
Depending on which one I list first in the header, the other one quits. Whichever one I lose goes from the image display effect to acting like a straight hyperlink to the designated image.
It isn't a huge deal, but I'd like to be able to have the two of these on the same page and working. I have them running alone on other pages and can link to them, but it sort of defeats the purpose of making a web page to show the variety of things I can do for someone who whats a website built, if one or more of the things won't work.
[Subject line edited by moderator for clarity]

Please don't use cryptic subject lines for posts. The value of a forum is that other people might be searching for the answer to a similar problem. Meaningless subject lines prevent others from finding useful replies. They also discourage others who might be able to provide help more quickly if they knew what you're asking about.
I've had a quick look at your page. Quite honestly, I find all the flashing rather nauseating, but if that's the way you want to design a page, it's your choice...
The conflict is caused by the fact that overlapview.js seems to rely on jQuery, while lightbox.js relies on Prototype and script.aculo.us. Both jQuery and Prototype use $() as a shortcut, so you cannot mix the two libraries on the same page without taking special measures to prevent the conflict. In jQuery, you do this by loading all the jQuery, Prototype, and script.aculo.us libraries first, and then using the following script:
jQuery.noConflict();
Then load overlapview.js, replacing all instances of $ with jQuery. So, for example, the following line:
$(t).fadeTo('normal', overlapviewer.endopacity, function(){
needs to be rewritten like this:
jQuery(t).fadeTo('normal', overlapviewer.endopacity, function(){

Two sliding panels/w tabs widgets on the same page?

I would like to use two of the same widget (Sliding Panels/w
tabs) on the same page.
How can I get two instances to function independently and not
break each other....?
I edited the sp_withTabs.js file by duplicating the first
section below copying it, modifying it, and then pasting it below
as the second section:
// Turn the slidingPanel region into a real sliding panel
widget.
Spry.$$("#slidingPanel").addClassName("SlidingPanels");
Spry.$$("#slidingPanel >
div").addClassName("SlidingPanelsContentGroup");
Spry.$$("#slidingPanel .SlidingPanelsContentGroup >
div").addClassName("SlidingPanelsContent");
sp2 = new Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels('slidingPanel');
// Turn the slidingPanel2 region into a real sliding panel
widget.
Spry.$$("#slidingPanel2").addClassName("SlidingPanels");
Spry.$$("#slidingPanel2 >
div").addClassName("SlidingPanelsContentGroup");
Spry.$$("#slidingPanel2 .SlidingPanelsContentGroup >
div").addClassName("SlidingPanelsContent");
sp2 = new Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels('slidingPanel2');
This actually gets the second instance to function properly,
but now the first instance is "frozen".

Chapman, i know its been a while
but where on the JS file is the part you changed?
I cant find that in mine
check out my page:
http://www.pupr.edu/department/industrial/students.asp
Im trying to do that same thing, but a sliding panel inside another one.
The one inside isnt being recognized as a slliding panel, im thinking its the same problem you were having.
If you need me to copy the .js file let me know!
This is working with the Spry Sliding Panels Widget

BEx WAD -- Creating Chart And Table on the same page

Hi All.
I am creating a new Web Application. This contains a dropdown with 2 reports to select.
When the user selece report from the dropdown list, it has to display both Table and Chart for the report.
Could you pls explain me how can I do this.
Thanks
SR.

Go to Dropdown web item properties and choose your report and use Before Command and use OPEN_CHART_DIALOG. You may try with After Command also.

Selecting from one table and Update another in the same Page

Could someone help me with this HTMLDB task. In my page design, I am selecting data from two tables (masters: DEPT, EMP) which I want to display on the left column of the page and at the same time a user would be able to update another table (ATTENDANCE:with many children) which would have a radiogroup on the right side for each value of the master such as employee name. The placement of data has to appear in corresponding rows on the page. For instance, employee names of the master table must appear on the same row with its corresponding child value. The page would be grouped by DEPT_NO. The user would click on the department name, a new page with the employee name would apprar. From that page, the user would then update attendance column for each employee in that department. In this operation, it is only the ATTENDANCE table that is being updated. I can send out more information about the structure of the tables if you need more information. I tried many HTMLDB options, forms, reports, etc. I have not been able to get quite right. Your help will be appreciated.

Raju,
Thanks for responding to my problem. I have actually tried using the example on how-to you sent me a link to but it did not help as I expected. You see, the page would be updated every meeting date for each employee. I can send you more information about the table structure if you like. However, let me see if this will help you a bit.
Tables are: 1) Dept [dept_no (pk),dept_name] 2) EMP [emp_no (pk),emp_name, dept_no(fk)] 3) Meetings [meet_key(pk),attended, meeting_date, emp_no(fk)]
What I want to do is create two pages, one would list the departments, when a user selects a department, the user would be linked to a meeting attandance page. The meeting attendance page would list department name once, Meeting date once, and then list employees in that department. At the right column of every employee would be a checkbox for meeting.attended for update. The meeting_date would be pre-populated so that what the user would do is just check Yes/NO. The second page is the one I'm having the most problem with.
If I can do a fetch from dept, emp, and meetings and then do an update on the Meetings table on the same page, I think that might solve the problem. That was how I solved it in MS Access three years ago.
Here is email address in case you want to contact me directly. [email protected]
Thanks again for your help.
