I am using APEX from Oracle and have one interesting situation. As you might know, APEX gives you an opportunity to generate buttons with link on another page, transferring variables from one page to another.
Now I am creating an HTML region using "Static Content" and want to create a button in HTML with the same functionality as built-in in APEX.
Example of the APEX link:
'f?p=254:32:&APP_SESSION.::::P32_IST_SOLL,P32_MODELL,P32_ZEIT_ID,P32_TYP,P32_GEWERK:SOLL,&P2_MODEL.,&P2_AKT_MONAT_ID.,KREDIT,&P2_GEWERK.'
Every value between "&" and "." is a name of the variable on the current page. Do you have any ideas how to let variables into link and overcome this problem? Thank you.
You didn't really specify what "problem" you want to overcome so I'll try to cover as much as possible.
First problem I occured trying to achieve what you were trying
The Security > Page Access Protection page attribute in the target page is by default Arguments Must Have Checksum
You can either prepare your URL using the APEX PREPARE_URL function : https://docs.oracle.com/database/apex-5.1/AEAPI/PREPARE_URL-Function.htm#AEAPI160 (Safest option)
Or you could set the target page security setting to Unrestricted (which makes the page subject to URL tampering and could be a security issue)
The other problem I faced was that by default on apex the <button> type attribute is by default set to submit, which could be easily fixed like so:
<button type="button" onclick="window.location.href='f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&APP_SESSION.::NO:RP:P3_TARGET_1,P3_TARGET_2:&P11_ITEM.,&P11_OTHER.';">Button Text</button>
Where &P11_ITEM. is the assigned value of P3_TARGET_1 in the target page and &P11_OTHER. is the assigned value of P3_TARGET_2 respecting the same order the target page item's are called.

I am volunteering on a website-based project that is trying to make all pages fully operable JavaScript free before adding any JavaScript for enhancements, and I was asked to investigate whether or not a particular scenario could be handled purely through HTML/CSS.
What we have is a form that is populated to help us filter a list of tickets that are displayed on the screen after a page update through a GET action, which itself works fine, but the concern with the current implementation is that the URL cannot be made into a permanent link. The request, however, to keep the permanent link as minimal as possible, is to only send GET parameters for fields that are populated with something (so, suppressing GET parameters for fields that are blank) instead of having a different GET parameter for each form field on the page.
I have thought of several ways that could be done, most including JavaScript (example: create fields with ids but no names and a hidden field w/ name that uses JS to grab the data from the fields), but also one that would be a POST action with a redirect back to the GET with a human readable string that could be permanently used. The lead dev, however would prefer not to go through the POST/redirect method if at all possible.
That being said, I'm trying to make sure I cover all my bases and ask experts their thoughts on this before I strongly push for the POST/redirect solution: Is there a way using only HTML & CSS to directly suppress GET parameters of a form for fields that are blank without using a POST/redirect?
No, suppressing fields from being submitted in an HTML form with method of "GET" is not possible without using JavaScript, or instead submitting the form with a POST method and using a server side function to minimize the form.
What fields are submitted are defined by the HTML specification and HTML and CSS alone cannot modify this behavior and still have the browser be compliant with the standards.
No, you cannot programmatically suppress any default browser behavior without using some kind of client scripting language, like JavaScript.
As a side note, you say "JavaScript for enhancements", but JavaScript is not used for enhancements these days. And no one in the real world would except a decent front-end without the use of JavaScript. I would suggest you simply use JavaScript.
I do not think you can avoid Javascript here to pre process before submission to eliminate unchanged /empty form fields.
I have an control, to which I want to add a custom html attribute called, previousValue.
The Salesforce Developer's Guide assures me that I can do this by prefixing the attribute name with html-.
So I have an element that appears thus:. I also have the docType="html-5.0" attribute in my page control.
However, in Eclipse I get an 'unsupported attribute' error. I have upgraded to the latest force.com IDE; can any one tell me why this isn't working? What else do I need to do?
Thanks.
After much experimentation, the answer to this seems to be that the salesforce developer's guide is inaccurate and the 'hmtl-' prefix is not supported by the <apex:inputField> component. I can add it without a problem to an <apex:outputPanel> component. Don't understand why this should be so and the whole point to using these attributes is to locate data in a relevant place and avoid complex jquery selects to find the data relative to the location at which it is required.
Does anyone know if it's possible to extract the URL and if a value is found within the URL to display/hide something?
For instance, if I have a navigation bar that I want to only display for pages that contain 'copier' and I have URL aliases setup, can I setup Views module (or something like that) to check the URL for the 'copier' value and if it's found to display the navigation? If so, how would I go about doing that?
I know there can't be duplicate URL aliases but if say I had them as:
node/Copier
node/Copier-training
Could I check that URL and see if copier is present, and if it is display the navigation assoicated with copier?
I'm not really familiar with Views.
Not sure if this answers your question or not, the mention of Views is throwing me off a bit, but I believe all you need work with is a Block. You put your navigation into the Block, and then set the "Visilibity Settings" to be
node/*copier*
and set "Show block on specific pages" to "Only the listed pages".
This would then show the block on any page with copier in the URL, however this would only work for URLs of the type node/blahblahblah, if you wanted it to also show on say a URL such as blog/copier-training you would have to add another line to the Visibility Settings of the Block
node/*copier*
blog/*copier*
and also for any subsequent drill-downs also, for instance say blog/richie/copier-training would require
node/*copier*
blog/*copier*
blog/richie/*copier*
alternatively you could write a whole load of wildcarded options that go as deep as your site URLs may go
*/*copier*
*/*/*copier*
*/*/*/*copier*
ad infinitum
which is probably better...
If you do want to show a View within the Block you can use the following PHP
<?php
//load the view by name
$view = views_get_view('sample_view');
//output the view
print views_build_view('embed', $view);
?>
Hope this helped.
I'm trying to add localization support to a Google Chrome Web App and, while it is easy to define strings for manifest and CSS files, it is somewhat more difficult for HTML pages.
In the manifest and in CSS files I can simply define localization strings like so:
__MSG_name__
but this doesn't work with HTML pages.
I can make a JavaScript function to fire onload that does the job like so:
document.title = chrome.i18n.getMessage("name");
document.querySelector("span.name").innerHTML = chrome.i18n.getMessage("name");
but this seems awfully ineffecient. Furthermore, I would like to be able to specify the page metadata; application-name and description, pulling the values from the localization files. What would be the best way of doing all this?
Thanks for your help.
Please refer to this documentation:
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/i18n.html
If you want to add localized content within HTML, you would need to do it via JavaScript as you mentioned before. That is the only way you can do it.
chrome.i18n.getMessage("name")
It isn't inefficient to do that, you can place your JavaScript at the end of the document (right before the end body tag) and it will fill up the text with respect to the locale.
Dunno if i understand exactly what you are trying to do but you could dynamically retrieve the LANG attribute (using .getAttribute("lang") or .lang) of the targeted tag and serve accordingly the proper values.
I want to create an html page which contains a text box. When I am given input and the Enter key is pressed, I want it to go to another html page and display the typed keyword.
How can I do this?
I think you need to use a server-side scripting language to facilitate the manipulation of the inputted data on the form, so that it gets "saved" and displayed in the other html page. I suggest you try reading about PHP, and then turn to handling information in Web Forms...just a thought!
You can use Javascript for that. Check this Tutorial : How do I pass variables between two pages? (GET method)
