APEX 4 tabular form datepicker month and year selector

Category APEX and jQuery

Here is how you can change tabular form datepicker to show date and year selectors.

First, change your date column Display As to be "Text Field".
Then check e.g. using Firebug what is date fields name attribute.
In my example, name for input filed is f06.

Create dynamic Action. Select Advanced

  • Name: Tabular form datepicker
  • Event: After Refresh
  • Selection Type: Region
  • Region: {select your report region}
  • Condition: No Condition
  • Action: Execute JavaScript code
  • Fire On Page Load: True
  • Code:
 $('input[name="f06"]').datepicker({
  changeMonth:true,
  changeYear:true,
  showButtonPanel:false,
  buttonImageOnly:true,
  showOn:'both',
  buttonImage:"#IMAGE_PREFIX#asfdcldr.gif"
 }).parent("td").addClass("datepicker");
  • Selection Type: Region
  • Region: {select your report region}

    Hello,

    I am using Apex 4.2.1 version.

    I did follow each step which u had written,& its run proper in tabular form at once in a time. Whenever we do refresh page or came from one page to another page that time not display date picker.It means it look like Text field.

    I have used: Dynamic Action

    My Code :

    $('input[name="f05"],input[name="f06"]').datepicker({

    dateFormat:"dd-M-yy",

    changeMonth:true,

    changeYear:true,

    showButtonPanel:false,

    buttonImageOnly:true,

    showOn:'both',

    yearRange: "-20:+20",

    buttonImage:"/i/asfdcldr.gif"

    }).parent("td").addClass("datepicker");

    Please give me any suggestion.

    Thanking You.

    Hi M.Jovaini,

    I'm not quite sure what you mean. Maybe you try correct substitution for items like:

    $('input[name="f06"]').datepicker({
 changeMonth:true,
 changeYear:true,
 showButtonPanel:false,
 buttonImageOnly:true,
 showOn:'both',
 minDate:'&Px_min_date.', //Apex_item
 maxDate:'&Px_max_date.', //Apex_item
 buttonImage:"#IMAGE_PREFIX#asfdcldr.gif"
}).parent("td").addClass("datepicker");

    Regards,
    Jari
