Hi Gilbert,

You don't really want to add the hyper link (<A> tag ) stuff as that will
just make things incorrect. Try something like this and see if it works
for you.


A*%%WB 7 FLD onDblClick="alert('hello');<wf:js
function="setFieldValueAndS+
A*%%WB +ubmit"/>(&{SN50B.S50MF.REF},'?','&{WEBFACINGFORMID}');"

It should generate something like this.

onDblClick="alert('hello');<wf:js function="setFieldValueAndSubmit"/>
(document.<%=(String)session.getAttribute("UniqueId")%>.l<%=zOrder%>
_SN50B$S50MF,'?','<%=(String)session.getAttribute("UniqueId")%>');"

Then resolve to this when it runs

onDblClick="c_i_e_i_w_7006_setFieldValueAndSubmit(document.SCREEN.l1_SN50B$S50MF,'?','SCREEN');"

So as you can see the end result is simply HTML so there are lots of good
references about HTML and JavaScript that are probably more elegant than
what I can suggest :). However there are some useful things to note here.
I wrote a JSP custom tag for WebFacing that will prefix WebFacing
JavaScript function names with the current version qualifier. That way
you don't have to tinker with each release. Extracted from the above, the
custom tag was <wf:js function="setFieldValueAndSubmit"/>. You just give
it the function name, in this case "setFieldValueAndSubmi" and it will
modify it for the current version. For me that resulted in
"c_i_e_i_w_7006_setFieldValueAndSubmit" but for you it may be different as
it depends on the version of WebFacing. I also used the replacement value
for the form id of &{WEBFACINGFORMID}. For Web-only uses WebFacing will
default to a form id of SCREEN but if you are using Portal then the form
id for the portlet instance will be unique. Lastly, in this example I
used the explicit record and field name that you specified. However for
your use it would probably be simpler just to use *this* since you are
referencing the current element.

A*%%WB 7 FLD onDblClick="alert('hello');<wf:js
function="setFieldValueAndS+
A*%%WB +ubmit"/>(this,'?','&{WEBFACINGFORMID}');"


If you find that the onDblClick gets jammed up to the element before it
with no space between then just put a newline in the Web Setting entry
field and it will generate something like this:

A*%%WB 7 FLD +
A*%%WB +\r\nonDblClick="alert('hello');<wf:js
function="setFieldValueAndSu+
A*%%WB +bmit"/>(this,'?','&{WEBFACINGFORMID}');"

Let me know how it works out.

Mike

Mike,

I have had some success using you recommendations. The first one yields
the question mark in the field but does not force the (Enter) key:

A*%%WB 7 FLD <A href=# ondblClick="this.value='?';"></A placed in the
HtmlInside

Your second recommendation is a little unclear to me. I imagine this
will do what I want which is to place the '?' in the field and force the
enter key.

A*%%WB 7 FLD <A href=# onDblClick="<wf:js
function="setFieldValueAndSubmit"/>('this','?', 'SCREEN')

The parms are the id of the field, the field value and the form id.

I'm working with Display file S#DP507, Record format SN50B and field
where I want to put the '?' is S50MF. So if you would, please elaborate
on the parms you reference above.

Thank you,
