Hello Fabio,

Take a look at the jQuery API and read up about selectors. It provides some very usefull approaches.

http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/

This will give you alternatives to avoid using id’s.

Hi there,

I’m trying to build a tabular form with a total column, which is the result of summing two other ones. By using JavaScript I could achieve that for already existed records, since the ‘ids’ exist.
How could I sum these two columns for a new record?

Thank you guys. Cheers!

Hi Gurus,

I have a question on Apex 4 tabular forms. I have a form with a multi-select field on top of my form with a add button and a tabular form below it. What I need to ask is:
1. Is it possible in apex 4.x to multi-select from my select list and based on my selected items when I press the ADD button on the selectlist dynamically trigger addRow() tabularform button in Apex to pre-populate the selected values from my select list?

I have done this using pl/sql using htp.p() I created my own javascript and ajax calls to do this, its able to pre-populate the values before they can be saved into the database.

is it possible with apex and how, my measure problem is that I don’t know when and how the addRow() is being used i tried browsing most documentations and blogs but I dont find a solution.

please help

Hi Rofes,
No sorry haven’t found any solution. I have logged the problem in the oracle apex forums and people believe it is possibly a bug.

Thanks for the reply Olivier.

I have setup an example on apex.oracle.com (which i assume is using the latest version of apex)
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=41496

This tabular form was generated via the wizard, and hence the tabular form validations were created by the Wizard also.
If you add 1, 2, or 3 new rows, and only populate the Qty field for each of these new rows… And then click the submit button, the tabular form validation works as expected. It identifies that you have not populated the other fields on the new row(s).
However, if you click submit again without changing anying on the form (ie. leaving the highlighted required fields blank) the page submits and the MRU process attempts to run. But because of the blank fields it errors out

Hello David,

Seems weir behaviour to me, I just tried to reproduce it but all works well here.
Are you on the latest version of Apex? Can you paste me your version nr?

Hi, Whilst this works well for first round submissions, it doesn’t seem to work should the user click on submit again without fixing the errors identified from the first submission.
I have searched high and low for a solution, but can’t seem to find one… Any ideas?
