I'm currently stuck with how to implement something into a database. I need multiple values to be carried over to a general page. To explain more in depth, let me tell you what I have done, and where I'm stuck.
I'm creating a New General Page form. I have a special offer form box generator, which upon pressing a button creates a new form consisting of six fields. For each new page, you can generate an infinite amount of offers. The problem I'd face if I give each offer an ID which gets imported to the general page is that it might either take ID=1 for one page and ID=2 for another page, or ID=1 and ID=2 will both be one every new page generated. What I need to do is get, for example, 4 offers for one page sent to the database, and when the New Page is generated it'll have the four offers called. How would I go about creating a database for them?
Momentarily my table for it looks as such:
||idOffer||price||idDays||idPersonQuant||offerInfo
where ID Days and ID Person Quantity is unique to the individual offer.
I know I have to get all of the offers under one ID which will be unique to every page, but how do I get various amounts of offers under one ID?
For those who want to get a look at the script, here it is: JSFiddle
It works, but not on JS Fiddle.
If there is any confusion, I will post a JSFiddle with my code for the entire form and how it's going to post stuff.
Thanks in advance! Been stuck on this for ages :/
If you want multiple "offers" under one ID, you can create a new table called offerGroup (or similar). Entries in this table will correspond to one "page", so when a new page is created, there should also be an associated offerGroup. The table wouldn't need to be complicated at all, just a primary key:
||idGroup
In the "offer" table, you can then reference the id of the group that the offer belongs to.
||idOffer||price||idDays||idPersonQuant||offerInfo||**idGroup**
This solves your problem where you might have anywhere from one to infinity offers on one page. I hope I understood your question correctly.

Could someone point me in the right direction on how I could go about allowing a user to click a link on a PHP While Loop created MySQL table and pass that records info to another page. I've looked through all the similar questions and none answer mine. I am new to this type of programming.
Ultimately what my ideal scenario would be is this: Currently I have a list of data created with a While Loop. I would like a user to be able to click a text link that says REPORT ERROR. This in turn would take them to an error reporting form and populate a column of spans using getElementbyid... innerhtml. I know how to populate data with PHP on the same page but going to a new page is a different story.
Also as a newbie to Stackoverflow too, am I able to hire someone to do certain things for me?
pass data.
you can simply give the link of that page where you want to send your data and with a question mark you can pass whatever data you want to pass .if you want to pass multiple data use & between the data values. like below. i hope this will help you.
I need some help with oracle apex. The thing which I want to do is the following:
I have table with some data about people. So each row describes exactly one human. And I want to show some more information about certain human. For example, list of shops he or she has visited. Such data provided by other tables.
I see it in this way: right click on table with people on certain row -> select option (what kind of info to show) -> execute stored procedure and show new page with data table (e.g. list of shops). But how can I implement it?
I've already found this plugin. Now I can execute some JavaScript function after right-click. But how can I execute stored procedure and show new page?
I'm new in apex, any help would be appreciated.
You're trying to reinvent the wheel. You're new to apex. Have you taken a good look at the documentation?
Start out where everyone else has to start: at the beginning. Report + form. Column links.
There is ample help available to someone new to apex.
The 2-day developer guide, running you through some of the
basics of apex and a good familiarization.
Get a workspace at apex.oracle.com
Each workspace starts with the sample database application, based on
products and customers. You can view and edit this application and
thus you can glean plenty of information from it.
Furthermore, there are the packaged applications, many of which offer
good basic solutions to common situations. Again, you can glean a lot
of information on them, and they are even editable after you unlocked
them.
After you are familiar with the basics, you can look further ahead. What you are asking is simply too much for someone new to the matter. You even want to implement a jQuery plugin straight away. You're talking ajax. It's great if you know those subjects and they'll be of plenty of value to you, but it just seems you don't even know how to present and fetch your data.
A good start would be to make a report and a form. In the form you can then add some classic (or an interactive) report(s) to represent associated data.
It's possible. First of all, assume that each row contains unique identifier ID. You have to add hidden item to the page which would contain additional info about certain row. Let's name it P1_ID. Then add the following JavaScript code to page which contains initial data (in example from question, page with table with information about people):
function TestFunction(action, el, pos) {
var id = $(el).children('td[headers="ID"]').text();
var href = 'f?p={APPLICATION ID}:{PAGE_NUMBER}:&SESSION.::::P2_ID:'+id;
window.location = href
}
Function name should match name in plugin settings. Example: link
Replace APPLICATION_ID and PAGE_NUMBER with actual values according to application. PAGE_NUMBER is the page number which contains additional info about row.
Then you can add some reports to the page with additional info and use ID parameter to select information about certain row.
The only problem is that plugin mentioned in question stop working after table refreshing. For example, if we filter data in table then no menu on right click will be shown. I don't know how to fix it for now. Any ideas?
I'm creating a form on a web page, but I want that form to change as a user inputs values.
Example: If we have a drop down menu: ObjectType
And someone chooses Cars when that selected I'd want new options below to show up. Say, Make, Model, Year, & Notes.
Whereas, if that person chooses Vegetables then maybe all I want is a checkbox for Root Vegetables.
My question is what is the best way to do this. My form is pretty intricate and is going to have perhaps 20 different possible set ups, but I want those set ups to be sorted. I used appendChild() with AJAX requests, but I just ended up with out of order fields. And on top of that, the occasional slow connection keeps an individual waiting for a field to show up.
Rather than loading HTML pages with these form objects (technically part of a table), should I be keeping all of this stuff in an array? Is it possible to just load one HTML page or XML object and use selectElementById() on that result after it has been saved?
The objects I'm loading are rows, here's an example of one and what it would need to be able to do:
<td>
<strong>Abilities:</strong>
</td>
<td>
<textarea
id ='abilities'
name="abilities"
style="width:100%" rows="4"
onchange='userCreation.updateAbilities()'
onkeyup='userCreation.updateAbilities()'>
</textarea>
</td>
I have a table in my page, I was creating a new tr element with JavaScript, setting this as the innerHTML and then appending the child. Is there a better way to do this?
I would just put all of the form elements in a page, and hide the ones you're not using with CSS. That way you maintain order, and don't have to wait for fields to show up. It will slightly slow down page load time, but make your life a lot simpler.
Otherwise, I'd store the name (or whatever) of each field in an array or object, and when it comes time to AJAX load it, look up its position first and put it there.
Just have the entire for in the page and just change the visibility of different sections, based on user interaction instead of dynamically loading elements via AJAX.
I have a share point survey. When we responding to the survey, as we know, it will open NewForm.aspx. this page contains a ListFormWebpart in which questions from survey list will be displayed.
Now, i need to add few labels before the questions and these label values should be prepopulated from query string. What i am trying to achieve from this is, i wll created a link
with some values in query string and send to specific users. different users might have different values in query string. Whenever they click on the link, it should open the survey with prepopulated label values along with questions in list.
I am not sure, how to do it. I have tried to add some html control to web part(using share point designer) and through JavaScript i have tried to set query string values. Then i tried to put asp controls and trued. it didn't work. I am trying since last 2 days. No progress. I am using SharePoint 2003, WSS2.0
Can anybody, please help me to implement this solution.
You may find it easier to create a webpart with a custom form that enters data into the survey list.
The survey lists are useful as they are quite flexible, but your solution will likely make it hard to change your list in future. That means that a webpart specific for this survey may be a valid design decision for you.
An issue with your current implementation is that passing values specific to different users through the query string does not give you any guarantee that enterprising users will not change those values.
This may not really be an issue depending on your situation, but a custom control will allow you to query the current user and make decisions that way.
I have written some Java Script for reading query string, parsing and assigning values to controls based on their ControlID. I have used Content Editor Web Part to add this JavaScript to the Existing Survey page. Then this script has done job of prepopulating the fields.
I am creating a dynamic table control with ASP.NET/C# and the table is being used to hold a form. I need to allow users to click on a button in a row and make a duplicate of that row right below the original. My page is also using AJAX and jQuery.
I have tried to use Table.Rows.AddAt(indexoforigrow+1, newrow) but I get an error that the index is out of the range of values. I figured maybe I wasn't getting the original row's index correctly so I just tossed in a 1 and still got the error.
I also noticed that when I press the button to execute the code, the table disappears. Any ideas on how to fix that?
I am thinking that if I am unable to get these issues fixed I will have to loop through the table and submit the data to a temp table, adding a new row where indicated. Then I would pull all of the data back out and display again.
EDIT
I moved on when I could not get this working and tried to setup my submit functions to loop through the data and submit it to a db and realized that I am experiencing the same issues when clicking the submit button as when I click the add row button. It appears that my issue is really with viewstates/postback.
I did some reading on this and from what I can tell the solution is to re-create the dynamic control on page load every time. But I am confused about how I can do this if I have no idea how many rows/cells I have and how is the information the user entered kept in the form? I have no way of saving the information to a DB or anything because as soon as submit is clicked it all disappears.
Have you considered using a different control? One of the grid controls might better serve your purpose.
I've handled situations (that sound) similar to what you're describing by using the footer of a GridView (among other ways). The big trick is to bind the display object (Table, GridView, etc.) to a list of objects. Then you manipulate the list of objects, rebinding the display object after the list has changed.
You will need to persist this list in some manner, or you could wind up with the list being reset to null. One way would be to save it as part of the session.
At any rate, the idea is to have a display object (GridView) bound to a list of objects. When the user clicks 'add', an item is added to the list. Save the list, then call the GridView.DataBind method.
You are on the right track with re-creating the dynamic table each time the page loads. I have dome similar things and my solution was to keep a client state in a hidden field on the page. Every time you add a row to the table on the client, increment a counter or adjust the state data in the hidden field. Then, on the server-when the page posts back, read from that hidden field to know how many rows were added on the client. You will have to use some kind of naming convention for the new rows you add(and the widgets in them) so you can re-create them on the server.
A simpler option may be to use an UpdatePanel. Rather than try to add the rows on the client, your "add row" button would cause a partial update. The server side code would add the new row to the table and the viewstate would be updated.
I ended getting my data guy to do a bit more processing on his end so that I could just bind a ListView to a sproc. Solved a few of my problems.
Thanks for the helpful comments.
Just returning to this almost a year later because I faced a similar issue in my current project. I was doing a few things wrong my first time around. First, I did indeed need to recreate the controls every load, but I also had to create them earlier in the page cycle. I was trying to create them during page load, which is after the viewstate is loaded.
The controls need to be recreated with the same ID before viewstate is loaded. I went with page init and it worked fine.
