Making a popup [message #535120]

Hello

,

I've been looking at making a popup and the way I've found on the internet is javascript but I have a question...Where exactly do I put the javascript? because I would like it to be conditional so I thought 'process?' but there doesn't seem to be a javascript entry bit there. If its not in a process how do I make it conditional?

Also I'm really not sure about Javascript...I don't really know what I'm doing so can someone just check this would actually work in apex? I got it of www.w3schools.com :

<script type="text/javascript">
function show_alert()
{
alert("Hello! I am an alert box!");
}
</script>

I'd like it to appear when the user enters too many people (31 or more) into item P11_COUNT. If I need to use script an example would be much appreciated

thanks Smile

Which version of ApEx are you running? If you're using 4.1 (Perhaps also for 4.0, I'm not sure) you can use a dynamic action for this.

Ok I tried with that script I had above but it didn't seem to work...there was some writing at the very bottom of the screen:
},"action":"NATIVE_JAVASCRIPT_CODE"}]}]; }
so presumably the dynamic action is working...just not the JS
is there something wrong with it?
I really have no idea what i'm doing with javascript Confused

not used it before

When you create the item you can set it to type "number field". You can then create a dynamic action for it, choose advanced, action:key release, and on the condition you use "greater than" and 30. You can then choose notification, alert as the action, and just write your text in the text field. If this alert type isn't there (I didn't experiment very much with this in 4.0, and now I have 4.1 so it's difficult to test) you can choose "execute javascript code" and just write alert("my text here") as the code.

Edit: ok, you fixed it before I answered Smile

Happy to help.
