Validation in checkboxes (beginner)

I have a form where user needs to tick a checkbox role. It works fine.
But I need to make a validation with an error message if user doesn't tick any checkbox. In a few words user must at least tick a check box.
My idea is a loop through the checkboxes. If at least one checkbox is ticked then it exists or else displays an error.
I am a beginner on this subject so any help is appreciated and I hope I have explained myself well.

Hello,
You could loop through the records like the following:
Firts_record;
Loop
if :blk.chkbox = 'O' Then
return ;
end if ;
exit_when :system.last_record = 'TRUE' ;
next_record ;
End loop ;
-- no box checked, raise an error
Message(...);
Raise form_trigger_failure ;But I'm sure another solution based on a calculated item would be more elegant...

Spry Validation Select ultimate beginner

Hello to all,
I need help with the spry validation select thingy. Basically, I am not a programmer, so code stuff won't help me much. I need a bit of a walkthrough:
The problem:
1) I need 2 validation select boxes with about 10 choices each.
2) I need an activation button - that is, when the correct choices are selected, the user presses a button to take them to the right webpage.
3) I need the choices within each select box to (obviously) direct the user to a different page once the activation button is pressed.
My solution so far:
1) I can insert the 2 validation select boxes into dreamweaver, with what i think is the correct naming, etc. I can also set the 10 choices for each. I do not know what the "value" tab means in the "list values" button I use to name and set the number of choices.
2) I can insert the button as well (just insert, nothing else)
3) I am not able to link the 10 choices with anything - I simply don't know how to do that, and cannot find info about it. When I live preview my work so far I get 2 nice drop/validation boxes with 10 choices each, and a button. I now need to, given a specific choice and after the button is pressed, to take the user to a different webpage with information about the double selection they chose.
I hope the above is clear enough - in the end, I will have 100 seperate webpages that need to be linked to the choices (10 choices in one box times 10 choices in the other box), I just need a way to link those choices to the webpages. Any basic and non-code based help would be very appreciated,
Cheers,
P

I need help with the spry validation select thingy. Basically, I am not a programmer, so code stuff won't help me much. I need a bit of a walkthrough:
You have got no hope!
1) I need 2 validation select boxes with about 10 choices each.
You have stated that you have already done this. The value of the select element can be found here http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_select.asp
2) I need an activation button - that is, when the correct choices are selected, the user presses a button to take them to the right webpage.
You have stated that you have already done this
Seeing that you have already done the above, these are no longer a problem. This leaves us with
3) I need the choices within each select box to (obviously) direct the user to a different page once the activation button is pressed.
For this we would need to see your markup in situ. Please supply a link to your site.

PHP Form Validation: Radio Buttons

Hey everyone -
I'm trying to do two things here with an addition to one of
my forms using
PHP.
1. Attempting to validate if one of the radio buttons has
been selected.
2. Displaying which radio button is selected once the page is
reloaded
(checking for validation errors). That is - if they've
selected a radio
button but didn't fill in the other area - I want the radio
button they've
already selected to be actually "selected" once the page
reloads.
Here is the series of radio buttons:
<input type="radio" name="subject" id="subject1" value="1"
/>
<label for="subject1" class="labelbold">I wish to
contact you regarding
website design</label><br />
<input type="radio" name="subject" id="subject2" value="2"
/>
<label for="subject2" class="labelbold">I wish to
report a technical
error</label><br />
<input type="radio" name="subject" id="subject3" value="3"
/>
<label for="subject3" class="labelbold">I wish to
report an error with the
copy</label><br />
<input type="radio" name="subject" id="subject4" value="4"
/>
<label for="subject4"
class="labelbold">Other</label><br />
This is how I'm validating my checkboxes:
if($_POST['confirmbox'] == false) $error[] = "Check the
Privacy Policy
Agreement Box";
However, using "false" doesn't seem to matter with the radio
buttons. So,
how can I get the radio buttons to validate that ONE was
selected and how
can I show that selected button on a page reload (I'm
thinking I may need to
dynamically generate the value=""....<?php...?>....?).
Thanks!

Hello there -
After no replies - I decided to strain my brain (ha-ha) - and
finally
figured out the solution to the problem.
For the curious - I added this to each <input...>
field:
<?php if($_POST['subject'] == "1") echo'
checked="checked"';?>
And then for each <input...> I changed the "1" to the
corresponding value
each field was given.
Have a wonderful night. :)

cfif form.secret_word EQ #session.secretWord# thank you cfelse sorry /cfif

If users enter the secret_word which coincides with the
session.secretWord then the form can continue and do its
validating. If not the form stops and the cfelse message is shown.
The cfif code is here:
<cfif form.secret_word EQ #session.secretWord#>
Thank you for your message.
<cfelse>
Sorry, the secret word you entered in the field does not
match the word in the image
Please hit your back button</cfif>
My actionpage is here and I would be very greatful if someone
could show me where the cfif should go. Thanks:

Right I´ve put in the cfparams and the cfif at the top
of the page after the cfinclude.
However if the word is wrong the page still executes which it
shouldn´t. It is confusing with all the cfifs but if the
secret word is wrong the "sorry" message should be shown and the
page stops (maybe I need cfabort or cfexit?) The message is being
shown but the page continues. Here is the code:
<cfinclude template="topnav.cfm">

CSS justifications are different when I upload my page...

I used to build websites with GoLive CS2 for number of years. With the purchase of a new laptop, I recently switch from CS2 to CS5. (But have been using CS4 at work). As GoLive is no longer existing, I just switch to Dreamweaver. I had several problems modifying pages originally created in GoLive and now imported in Dreamweaver, specially for modifying text already in place. It seems well suggested to learn CSS, maybe this will solve the problems.
Have been watching a few tutorials this morning on how to use CSS and I've spent a few hours building CCS for all the different options required by my document. Everything looked fined until I upload the page on the net. When text is centered in Dreamweaver once uploaded, everything is left-justifed. What am I doing wrong?

It's evident from your code that you haven't learned how to use CSS efficiently yet. And you don't yet understand how CSS works with HTML.
To further complicate things, your HTML code is riddled with inline styles that are overriding your embedded CSS rules. Best advice is to find a pre-built CSS Layout and rebuild your site without all the nasty GoLive code.

Column not set to default after insert

Hi,
I have a column defaulted to 'No', when I insert into table without providing value for that column thru SQL plus, column valued to 'No'. when insert thru APEX form, column is set to null. Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks
Eugene

Did you solved your problem?
I have similar problem and question.
I have form with checkbox T/F. Checkbox has mandatory column (VALID) in underlying table with default value 'F'.
Table:
USER (firstname, lastname, valid)
If checkbox is visible on form, some value is inserted into the table.
But checkbox is conditionaly invisible for some users and when they want to insert new record APEX is generating insert statement (Automatic Row Processing (DML)) with all columns of the form and not only with visible columns.
This is generated insert:
insert into user(firstname,lastname,valid) values ('John','Baker',null) and it raises ORA-1400: cannot insert null into VALID because VALID can not be null.
Correct insert statement should be:
insert into user(firstname,lastname) values ('John','Baker') because VALID column is invisible for some users
I think that update statement do this (update only visible columns).

A genious needed to figure out this code!!!!!

Tabular form validation(Checkbox) is not working for Interactive report

Hi,
I am using the oracle apex 4.0 and oracle 11g.
I have written a below select query on interactive report as
select
apex_item.checkbox(1,RESIDD)||apex_item.hidden(2,RESIDD) row_selector,
apex_item.text(3,RESNUM) as resnum
from "PDRRES"
and written the validation to display the error message( Function returning error text ) as
DECLARE
vRow BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- apex_application.g_print_success_message := NULL;
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.COUNT
LOOP
vRow := apex_application.g_f01(i);
apex_application.g_print_success_message := apex_application.g_f01(i)||'-'|| apex_application.g_f03(vRow) ;
END LOOP;
END;
Output : No data found error message
As far as it work for sql report with above logic because apex built in row selector
but it fails in case of interactive report for some reason.
Please suggest.

Please suggest.NO DATA FOUND usually occurs when an i mplicit select does not find anything. It can also occur when referencing a collection element that has not been defined.
You have 2 collectinons in the code you posted, apex_application.g_f01() and apex_applciation.g_f03. Since you are looping therough the COUNT attribute of g_f01 its reference ("I") is probably okay and the value store in vRow is probably not right. You can check this by using RAISE_APPLICTION_ERROR to see the value something like
raise_application_error(-20000,'vRow="'||vRo2||'"');Remember that working with checkboxes is tricky. If the box is not checked nothing will be sent. You may need to define a default value when no value is submitted.

Problem with checkbox validation

actually i have a series of check boxes in jsp. on selecting any one check box and pressing delete it should go to a servlet and delete that value in database... i have 2 buttons in jsp..one is delete and other is add.
my jspcode:

<script language = "javascript">
     function invoke(btn)
          if(btn == 0)
               if(document.subforums.subforum_title.checked)
                    document.subforums.action="/design/jsp/moderator/confirmdelete.jsp";
                    document.subforums.submit();
                    return (true);

my problem is even if i select the checkboxes also, i get only the alert message printed...and its not entering the next page. hope am clear... plz help me...
Edited by: bad_programmer on Mar 25, 2008 10:25 PM

As mentioned above, the textbox would not get validated if it was empty.
Maybe I could create a function attached to the "required" attribute of the textfield's tag that was dependent on if the checkbox was checked or not?
Is this the best way? Surely there are better ways to do validation across components.

Need code for this checkbox validation

There are 3 checkboxes on my form cb1,cb2,cb3.I need the code for the below validations..
if I check the checkbox cb1 then cb2,cb3 should be disabled(grayed, should not allow to
check). when i unchecked cb1 all 3 boxes should be enabled and then if i check cb2
then cb1,cb3 should be disabled.
At any point of time only one checkbox should be checked and
remaining 2 will be disabled/grayed.
hope its clear.
thanks in advance
Devender

Hello,
You can enable/disable your check box items with the:
Set_Item_Property( 'item_name', ENABLED, PROPERTY_TRUE | PROPERTY_FALSE ) Built-in.
If Checkbox_Checked( 'chk1' ) Then
Set_Item_Property( 'chk2', ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE ) ;
Set_Item_Property( 'chk3', ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE ) ;
End if ;

Validating Checkbox

Hi all,
       I need to add two checkboxes as parameters , these two checkboxes refer to the fields in prps table . These fields in PRPS table are as well checkboxes.
Therez a Tcode CJ20n ,   i enter a project number and i go to 1st level WBS element and customer enhancement tab, I have twofields ZZLIMC and ZZLIMF   these are check boxes .
Therez is a report which has a selection screen with select options as project number, month, year etc.
as checkboxes.
I need to add two more parameters ZZLIMC and ZZLIMF for this report as checkboxes, so when user selects either one checkbox or two checkboxes , for Eg: If user checks ZZLIMC, the report should validate only those project numbers with the field ZZLIMC checked ( ie equal to'X' ) Because in the selection screen of the report i have chosen ZZLIMC.
How do i proceed , please let me know.
regards,
Dan

for the two check boxes ,
put the code in a perform to be validated .
hi there.
depending on the check box selection ,
give the appropriate perform .
put the perform in ,
   if check box is not initial
                   perform1.
                   else.
                   perform2.
                   endif.
proceed this way.
vijay.

Checkbox error "The Entered Value is Not on the List of Valid Values".

Hi All,
I have a check box attribute inside a node which is bounded to a field of type CHAR 1. I have given the property and value for the attribute as follows:
Attribute Name     ZCHECK
Type assignment     Type
Type                          ZTABLE-ZCHECK
Read-only                         0
Default Value
Null Value                           0
Input Help Mode     Automatic
Determined Input Help     ZCHECK
Type of Input Help     Fixed values for domains
Formatting
Compression     Default Value
I have created an onToggle Event for it.
Now when i execute my component i do the following.
First i click on a button called 'EDIT'. Now the check box comes to edit mode. Now when i click on the checkbox i get the following error. "The Entered Value is Not on the List of Valid Values".
When i try to debug, there is no problem in the 'INIT' method. The error is throw even before going inside the onToggle Event for check box.
Please explain how to over come this.

Hi,
Check your field ZTABLE-ZCHECK, if it is of type CHAR1 then only possible values for checkbox should be 'X' and ' '.
May be your domain has some other values in Fixed Value List.
its better to bind checkbox with attribute of type boolean
Also, the input help for attribute bound to checkbox doesn't makes any logic.

Default Item Master Valid Checkbox

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to default the Valid checkbox (as checked) for all new items in the item master?
Thanks,
Jane

Hello Jane,
i dont think it is possible to make it default as checked since the valid tick box has a special function that Determines the validity period of an item master data.
hope this may help u.
