How to prepopulate few fields in a form, in a survey - javascript

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.

Bluebeam Scripting - Custom Columns, Markups, & Forms

BLUEBEAM AND ADOBE ARE BOTH PDF VIEWERS THAT HAVE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES
Hello, I am trying to figure out how to link a form answer to some markups (tools).
Custom Columns that are created In Bluebeam:
When I create a new tool I can manually fill out all of these custom columns under the "Custom" section within the settings of a tool:
Then I can save that tool and all of the data will be repeated for every copy of that tool. However, the circled columns in the first picture would be changing on every page. Which means I would have to make a new tool for every page. (FYI I would be making ~20 tools for this, so I would have to update 20 tools every single page ;_;) Therefore, I want to create a dropdown/textbox on each page with those columns. When a user fills out the dropdown/textbox, the markups are automatically updated with that info, which means the custom columns are also updated.
Does anyone have an idea of how to link these?
As of now I have been able to create a code that creates a popup if a user selects a certain drop down. This shows me that you can grab the data from a user. I just don't know how to connect that data to all the markups (tools). I know each markup has a special ID, but I'm curious if you can somehow link to the tools "subject" property to do this.
Bluebeam provided me with their JavaScript API if that is any help.

UPDATE
I found another document with potential accepted scripts for Bluebeam. Please note this one will require people to have Bluebeam Revu eXtreme
https://support.bluebeam.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Bluebeam-Script-Reference-2018.pdf
This version actually has a markup section (which are the things I am more or less wanting to have the custom columns be updated for with the user input)
This document seems to be relevant only for the Bluebeam Script Editor. You can open it by looking in the folder for Bluebeam from your start window.
There are 2 issues I have with this though. I haven't figured out how to run the codes I have in the script inside of Bluebeam yet and I am curious if there is a way to not need the markupID's and/or a way to get them without having to download the markups
I've been lurking on stack for so long, I finally have something to contribute...
I work with custom columns and toolsets all the time. I think you're missing a basic understanding of what the markup list is. Or maybe I am. The markup list is the table of data at the bottom of Bluebeam, where you're trying to change column headings.
The markup list is basically a table of data, what you're trying to do will change the column headers per page, which would change it for all entries. From what I know about Bluebeam, these are static, just like any database or table in any application like Excel. If you need to have different column headings, you need to just stack them all and use what you need on each page or from tool to tool. Or create different profiles with different custom columns, but this gets messy having multiple profiles accessing a single document. Maybe java can help show and hide these per what's relevant on the page within the custom field. But... I think the java is limited to be used within PDF form fields and some basic PDF actions such as print, save, etc. I don't think the level of coding you're looking for exists within Bluebeam.
I use profiles to manage custom columns per process, not the actual tool. It's kind of unclear exactly why the custom columns can follow the tools without the actual profile though.
What I do to accomplish complex tasks is export the markup list and build something within Excel VBA to tabulate data and export reports with relevant information. I'm sure you could use basically any coding language to accomplish this after the table is exported from Bluebeam.

ASP.NET MVC Facebook Style friend tags in textbox

I am not sure what it is called, but I am trying to replicate the facebook style tagging of friends in a post.
I would like it that when I start to type one of my customers names in, that it prompts to add the customer name to the post and is a hyperlink to the customer profile.
Anyone know what this might be called, or a way to achieve this?
Thanks
Mike
Basically, It is just a auto complete text box. As you type, Your code should read the text in the textbox, send it to some server page/api endpoints with this text and other relevant information needed. The server page will query your db table and return your friends name in a list to the caller and you need to display it in a list under the text box. You should have code when user select one item from that list to invoke some other js function where you will save it again to the db table (of tagged people) table.
Fortunately there are a lot of plugins available to do this. With minimal customization, you can achieve this. jQuery UI is a library you can look into. It has an Auto complete feature. There are a lot of other libraries too. A simple google search will help you to get started.

How to pass MySQL data from one page to another

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.

Oracle APEX: Call stored procedure from javascript

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?

Django Admin disable field dynamically based on other selections

I've built a django model where the required fields change based upon the user's selection on other previous fields. Specifically, it is an event scheduling application where the options change based on choices the user makes.
Some combinations of fields are simply invalid, and I have the model set to check for those and not allow them. However, it is a bit confusing in the UI to figure out the right combinations. I would like the admin UI to help with this by hiding or disabling invalid fields as the user changes other fields.
For example, if the user chooses to make the event repeat weekly, I need to disable (or ideally remove) all of the daily and monthly fields and only show the weekly ones, such as day of week.
Also, if they go back and change it to daily, then the fields that are shown or enabled need to change to reflect that selection.
How would I set up the admin form so that this happens? I know this is doable through the DOM and javascript, but I am trying to determine if there is a mechanism for this built in to Django. I've been searching the Django docs, but I can't seem to find it.
Does anyone have an example showing how you have done similar things?
There's no build in solution.
Simple solution is to add custom JavaScript code to your admin. See the reference here. Simply add the js and css files to the Admin class and script the form in your custom js.
class ReportAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
class Media:
js = (
'frontend/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js',
'frontend/js/jquery-ui.min.js',
'frontend/js/custom_js.js',
)
