Type choices in select elements

I have an order entry form that uses a select list as the id
that will be inserted into another table.
I want the user to be able to type in several characters to
locate an exact name or id in a table. Currently, the user can only
type in one character to find a match on the first character in the
select element. Do I have to write a function to accomplish this? I
don't see any reference to cfselect and onKeyDown on this forum.
So, I thought I'd ask before I go and recreate the wheel.
Thanks,

I would like to use the combobox-multicharacter search
dropdown script but I am having trouble adapting your code to my
database query/insert. I have changed the names to reference my
form and query but it doesn't seem that the javascript is being
invoked.
I get no errors.....just the same functionality that is
inherent with the browser. Should I do something else to
this?

Get selected elements from a table

Hi all,
I have a requirement like i m enhancing standard component in that i have added one button on click of that i want fetch the selected line item from the table ( which is a normal table). selection mode is auto.
i tried with the following code.
DATA:lr_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
lv_index TYPE i.
*--Get selected element
lr_element = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT' ).
****Here itself its throughing dump because lr_element is initial***************
*--get selected element index.
lv_index = lr_element->get_index( ).
can any one help me what is the wrong.. else suggest me how to get the selected elements from a table....
Thanks in advance.

*--Get selected element
lr_element = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT' ).
if lr_element is bound.
lv_index = lr_element->get_index( ).
endif.
Instead you can directly read the node if that row is a lead selected one.
lo_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'EMP' ). "Emp is node name
lo_ele = lo_node->get_lead_selection( ).
or
lv_index = lo_node->get_lead_selection_index( ).
where is the above code written..is it written in OnLeadSelect event of the TABLE..
can any one help me what is the wrong.. else suggest me how to get the selected elements from a table....
As the selection mode is Auto there is no multiple selection..hence try to use the lead selection only.

Content Type choices

Hi all,
I have created some content types in Task list. To choose the content type, I need to click on the new item in ribbon and choose the one I need. It is inconvenient. The "new task" button just show the original one only. Could I click on it and
then choose the content type like the "Edit item" support?
Thanks,
Andy Nguyen.

Hi，
Based on your description, my understanding is that when you click new task in tasks list, the content type choice field missing from new form.
There is no OOTB method to make the content type choice field display in the new form.
When we click the new task button we are by default selecting the default content type so the content type field is not available. Users will need to click the dropdown in the ribbon and select the correct content type.
Besides, here are similar posts, you can use as a reference:

SELECT-ELEMENT

hi!
I have a SELECT element in my html-file and i can't get the selected value from it in NETSCAPE. In Explorer
everything goes fine with the code tha is beneath.
I am a very beginner in this and do not know if there is a error in my code or should i code this diffrently in NETSCAPE.
Can anyone help me?
Here is part of the code i have.
function initSearch()
var f = document.search;
var fa = document.add;
fa.ADD_FORM.options.length = 1;
fa.ADD_FORM.options[1] = new Option('--Lakis��teinen tapaturmavakuutus', ' ');
fa.ADD_FORM.options[2] = new Option(' Palkkatiedot 4 viikon ajalta', '/redbox/servlet/com.sampo.redbox.servlet.FormServlet?ACTION=NEW&FORMVERSION=0&FORMNAME=OccuAcci4WeekPay');
<form name="add">
<TABLE name="add_table" border="0">
<TR>
<TD> </TD>
     <TR>
<TD><FONT color=#000000 face=arial,helvetica size=3>Lomakkeet:</FONT></TD>
<TD colspan=3>
     <SELECT NAME="ADD_FORM"
<option value="--none--">-
<option value="--none--">Valitse Lomake . . . . . .

     <input type="button" value="Avaa" onClick= "loadFormLink(document.add.ADD_FORM.value)">
</TD>
</TR>
     </TABLE>
</form>

This should do:
document.yourForm.yourSelect[document.yourForm.yourSelect.selectedIndex].text;
or
document.yourForm.yourSelect[document.yourForm.yourSelect.selectedIndex].value;

I think the Microsoft Office software may be causing Safari to crash. There are 14 referencees in the crash report. If Safari didn't crash before the 5.1 update, then that's more then likely the culprit.
Check to see if there are any Office updates available.

JTree: view of selected element

I have a tree object with departments and employees. When the user selects a department or an employee I want to show an edit panel what the user can use to update the department or employee data. To do this, I have implemented the TreeListener.valueChanged method, like below:
public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent e)
DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)jTree1.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
if (node == null) return;
JUTreeNodeBinding tnb = (JUTreeNodeBinding)node.getUserObject();
if (tnb == null) return;
RowSetIterator rsi = tnb.getParentRowSetIterator();
if (rsi == null) return;
ViewObject vo = tnb.getParent().getViewObject();
if ("mypackage1.EmployeeViewImpl".equals(vo.getClass().getName()))
jSplitPane1.add(pEmployee, JSplitPane.RIGHT);
JUIteratorBinding iter = panelBinding.findIterBinding("EmployeeViewIter");
if (iter == null) return;
iter.bindRowSetIterator(rsi, false);
iter.rangeRefreshed(null);
rsi.setCurrentRow(rsi.getRow(tnb.getRowKey()));
else
jSplitPane1.add(pDepartment, JSplitPane.RIGHT);
As you can see I use a very dirty way to check the type of the currently selected element. But what is the proper way to do this?

Hi,
I think I want to do something similar.
When I use JList component I can easy take selected row:
MyViewRowImpl r = (MyViewRowImpl) myList.getSelectedValue();
When I try to get selected row in similar way from JTree:
Object o = jTree1.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
I have got only string representation of this row. Is it possible to get selected row object.

How To... Change the Data Type for a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time.

Hello,
I am trying to restrict the values available for entry into a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time depending on user input.
The logic is as follows. The user has two input fields. A PARAMETER field which has the type RSDIOBJNM and allows them to choose an InfoObject. And the user has a SELECT-OPTIONS field to allow them to select the Characteristic values for that InfoObject.
I would like the following example to be possible:
The user enters 0MATERIAL into the PARAMETER. When the user clicks on the SELECT-OPTIONS control code will derive a list of possible options the user can enter in the SELECT-OPTIONS. In this case only values found in the master data or at least no values greater than 18 characters.
I have looked at the following function module SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT and this do not appear to be helpful as they only restrict on the signs allowed for the values (unless I misunderstand, it is a complex function module!).
The code I have so far is (thus the user enters a InfoObject into p_char1 and the select options so_char1 should only accept active values of that InfoObject):
declaration of variables for user interface
DATA c_char(32) TYPE c.
declaration of count variable
DATA i_count TYPE i.
declaration of user interface
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK a1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
    PARAMETERS: p_ipack TYPE RSLOGDPID.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK a1.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-002.
    PARAMETERS: p_char1 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char1 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char2 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char2 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char3 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char3 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
Is what I am trying to do possible???
Thanks for any help. Ross.

You really want to restrict possible values of a select-option based on another field, not change the length of type of the select-option field, right?
Here is what you do: Code a custom F4 value help for the select-option at event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR.. The first thing you do here is read the value of the parameter field (p_ipack in your example). You can use function module DYNP_VALUES_READ. Based on this value, you can propose values for the select-option fields. Note that the use can still enter whatever s(he) wishes in to the select-option field without pressing F4. In this case, you will have to code some input validations taking into account the value in the p_ipack field.

How to use Oracle Table Type values in Select Statement.

Hi,
I am fetching initial set of values into Oracle Table of Records Type and want to use list of values in the Select statement.
For example, try something like the following:
TYPE t_record IS RECORD (
ID TABLEA.ID%type,
NO TABLEA.NO%type,
v_record t_record;
TYPE t_table IS TABLE OF v_record%TYPE;
v_table t_table;
-- Code to populate the values in v_table here.
SELEC ID,NO, BULK COLLECT INTO <some other table variabes here> FROM TABLEA
WHERE ID IN v_table(i).ID;
I want to know how to use the values from Oracle Table Type in the Select Statement.

Something like this:
create or replace type t_record as object (
id number,
no number
CREATE or replace type t_table AS TABLE OF t_record;
set serveroutput on
declare
v_table t_table := t_table();
v_t1 t_table := t_table();
begin
v_table.extend(1);
v_table(1).ID := 1;
v_table(1).No := 10;
v_table.extend(1);
v_table(2).ID := 2;
v_table(2).ID := 20;
SELEC t_record (ID,NO) BULK COLLECT INTO v_t1
from TableA
FROM TABLEA
WHERE ID IN (select t.ID from table(v_Table) t);
for i in 1..v_t1.count loop
dbms_output.put_line(v_t1(i).ID);
dbms_output.put_line(v_t1(i).No);
end loop;
end;

How can I access the selected element of a DropDownByIndex-box?

Hi,
I want to create a WebDynpro with two web services. I created the first request with the first web service and the results are displayed in a DropDownByIndex-Box. Now the user should choose one of the results and I would like to use this for the request with my second web service. How can I access the selected Element of a DropDownByIndexBox in the Code?
Thank you!!
Julia

Hi Julia,
when user select one element in drop down it automatically set lead selection of node binded to dropdown.
For example if you bind a dropdown to node myNode with value attribute myAttribute the lead selection of node myNode is set in the position of element choose from user.
So to take this chooised element use this code:
wdContext.currentMyNodeElement.getmyAttribute()

What's happening on my iMac? There are two choices of selected start up disks appearance without hold down option key. On the other hand, it start up normally show apple picture when I hold option key.

There are two choices of selected start up disks:Main HD and Recovery HD, appearance without hold down option key. On the other hand, it start up normally show apple picture when I hold option key.

Hi artdiva28
Welcome to Apple Discussions
First go to *System Preferences > Startup Disk* > select the *Mac OS X 10.5. on Macintosh HD* > click the Lock > hit the Restart button.
Then if the iMac is still having trouble starting up, insert your Install Disk and restart holding the Option key. In Startup Manager select the Install Disk and boot into it, choose your language, skip the Installer and go up on the menu bar to Utilities and open Disk Utility. In Disk Utility select your Macintosh HD and hit the Repair button. Once finished note any errors and what was repaired for future reference. Quit Disk Utility and restart once again holding the Option key boot back into the Macintosh HD and eject the Install Disk.

Error Rendering SELECT Element in Safari Under iOS (iPhone & iPad)

Hello,
Our website contains three SELECT elements that are not rendering properly under Safari, iOS 4.2 on both an iPhone and iPad.
If you load http://demo.campusguides.com in a normal browser (Chrome, FF, non-mobile Safari) you will see that the three "Browse By" boxes at the top of the page each contain text that you can select using your mouse. Each of those boxes is actually a SELECT element and each piece of text is an OPTION within that SELECT box. We have set a SIZE property on the SELECT element that allows the user to see more than one OPTION value at a time. Here is the W3C page that mentions the SIZE option for SELECT boxes - http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-size-SELECT.
On all the browsers I have tested the list displays properly, meaning that you can see multiple OPTION values at once as well as a scroll bar (when needed) that allows you to scroll up and down the list. On iOS Safari however the list is displayed as an empty box with no OPTION values visible to the user. If the iOS user clicks the SELECT element they are taken to the normal SELECT interface for Safari which does work fine, but without any content displaying in the box to begin with, I don't think many users would know they can / should click that element.
So basically I think this is a bug, and that iOS Safari should either render that SELECT element with the OPTIONS visible to the user, or it should ignore the SIZE property and render that element like a "normal" SELECT menu where only one option is visible at a time.
Thank you!

Firefox 33 HTML select elements do not display correctly

HTML form <select> elements do not display options correctly in Firefox 33.
For example:
<select id="field_4" class="mainForm" name="field_4">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="submitted"></option>
<option value="pending"></option>
<option value="discarded"></option>
<option value="all"></option>
</select>
should display a drop down with 5 elements (first one blank) but no elements at all are displayed.
The bounding box does not seem to be computed correctly so no options display.
I have observed this issue on multiple pages. These pages displayed correctly in older version of Firefox and they display correctly under IE. The problem occurs with no addons or additional themes installed. The problem does not occur in SafeMode so I suspect that it is theme related but the Default 33.0 theme is the only installed theme and it cannot be disabled outside of SafeMode. I tried installing and changing multiple themes without success. The problem persists after restarting Firefox and after rebooting the computer and even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.
I can supply a screen shot if needed.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

How to set field type choice using csom (c#)

I have a field type: Choice (menu to choose from) which is not multichoice. How do I set a value?
I have found code for multiple choice but it doesn't seem to work for single choice.

Hi,
The following code snippet for your reference:
newListItem["ChoiceFieldName"] = "ChoiceValue";
newListItem.Update();
clientContext.Load(newListItem);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
If you are assigning a Value which is not in the Choice Column, You need to create a choice value then assign it to the item.

When using the google translate js api to dynamically translate a webpage the chosen option in a select element does not show up. This happens to me only in FF (using v4)

I am asking you this because I did not find this problem in any of the other browsers I have (chrome, opera, ie, safari).
I uploaded a simple html file to show this problem here: http://rvyu.com/mKLG
Notice that if you don’t change the language you have no problem changing the value in the select element (the original one with 3 options, not the one generated by google translate) but if you do when you switch values the selected one does not show up.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.
