Keisha,

Good catch, I modified lines 11-13 as follows:

$items.bind("change keyup", function() {
itemChanged = true;
});

I'll update the blog entry at a later date.

Hi Dan,

I was testing the demo application. If I make a change in a cell, and then close the window, it will not prompt to save.

However, if I make a change and click out of the cell where the change was made, the alert pop-ups when trying to close the window.

Is this expected?

I'm just using the standard Template Button and Button for theme 12. This is what is in the template def: href="#LINK#" class="t12Button">#LABEL#

I changed the button to Alternative 1, and put in your suggestion, but it didn't work. I tried several other combinations, but still no dice.

How do I figure out what it's called, what the variable is set to? Do I need to dig into code? Is there anyplace it's displayed?

2009-03-27T13:58:00.000-04:00

Drew,

See my last comment, I gave you some pointers. There are different kinds of template based buttons. Some are just buttons that have a class applied to them others really aren't buttons at all.

The code that's there for template buttons only takes care of the former. The other buttons must be taken care of manually as their exact implementation can vary a lot.

2009-03-27T13:54:00.000-04:00

In your instructions for downloading jquery, "pack" is not an option afer 1.2.6, only prod(min) and dev(uncompressed). That is the pain in having a technology blog, keeping up with all the technology changes. :)

I did get the app to work with HTML, buttons, but I really don't want to change all my buttons if I can tweak the code. It looks like the current code as something in it for templateButtons, but I guess it needs more

thanks,
Drew

2009-03-27T13:51:00.000-04:00

Drew,

You just have to modify line 8 so that the jQuery selector works for your buttons.

From:
var $templateButtons = $(':button[class]');

To something like:
var $templateButtons = $('.t13ButtonAlternative1');

You'll need to look at your button templates to see exactly how they are set up.

Dan

2009-03-27T10:13:00.000-04:00

Drew,

Not sure what you mean about the pack and min versions...

As for the button, are you using template based buttons? That's probably what's causing the problem.

Depending on which template based buttons you're using the code can be easily modified to work with them.

Dan

2009-03-27T10:06:00.000-04:00

I couldn't find the download for the pack version, only dev and prod (min) and couldn't get the prod one to work. After getting it to work, if I click "Apply Changes" button in my app, the message pops up. Why would it pop-up for when "Apply Changes" is clicked.

Thanks,
Drew

Dan,
I am using the code (copied and pasted into the HTML page header - and pointed to the jquery js in the page template) you post here and seeing the problems I describe. The only thing I can think of is the version of JQuery (jquery-1.3.2.min.js) - could that be the problem?

2009-03-05T09:15:00.000-05:00

Steve,

Have you used the test or had any problems with it? This code should already takes care of the issues you mentioned.

There is one problem where the user will get a double warning if they click a second level tab in IE6 (maybe 7) but I already have a fix for that.

I'll be releasing that fix along with better handling of template based buttons soon.

Dan

2009-03-05T08:45:00.000-05:00

Hi Dan,
The javascript I refer to you can find several hits in the forum searching for "WarnSave".

The problem:
using IE - change a field and exit without saving - onbeforeunload popup fires, user clicks OK, the same popup fires, user clicks OK - then gets out. In FF you exit with the first OK.

Second issue:
The popup fires when you upload a file and when you click the standard "Create" button on a form page - which is confusing for the user.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm actually planning a few enhancements for this code...

2009-02-06T22:57:00.000-05:00

Neelesh,

Unfortunately ApEx does not yet have a mechanism to bind events after a page is updated via the partial page render. jQuery's live event was almost enough to make up for the shortcoming but it does not yet support the "change" event.

For now you'll just have to disable partial page rendering for the report. I'll update the post when this obstacle has been overcome.

Dan

Neelesh,

I see that now - it happens if partial page refresh is enabled for the report. I plan to revisit this code over the weekend. I'll see if I can get that taken care of.

2009-02-06T18:39:00.000-05:00

Dan, Thanks for this code. I used it in a form and it works perfect. But when I try it in a report (I have a SQL report with just one check box / row, the rest of the columns are standard text), it only works when I leave the page but not during pagination. When I click on next/previous, it does not prompt me with the alert message. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks a lot

Ligon,

This is fairly common and most of the time is left alone. I modified flora. datepicker.css to align the image properly. Make sure to do a ctrl + F5 to refresh the css.

img.ui-datepicker-trigger {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 3px;
margin-left: 2px;
vertical-align: middle;
}

Dan
