Search button issues

[sorev@accesscomm.ca]

I've received the following feedback from a client, and confirmed that 1 and 1c are issues.  1b is obviously a suggestion, not a bug. :-)

1- Search function in the web interface (very important, blocking point): currently, once a column has been selected for a search, you can't switch to another column without logging out.  That's definitely an issue right now.

1b- As an aside, a default global search function (that searches all columns) would be an interesting addition as well.

1c- As a bonus, when data is entered in the Search field, would it be possible to have the focus automatically moved to the Search button?  Users tend to hit "Enter" after entering a search string, and right now, this triggers the opening of a
password entry, not the search.

Workaround for 1a:


  ! Start of "After Session Variables"
  if loc:sortfield <> ''
    IF loc:SortField<>p_web._FirstField(loc:vOrder)
      ! Copy and paste all code after "  if p_web.GetValue('Refresh') = 'sort' or loc:sortfield = ''" above
      loc:SortField = p_web._FirstField(loc:vOrder)
      p_web.SetSessionValue('pgPasswordsBrowseControl_sortfield',loc:sortfield)
(etc)

Hi Sorev,

Regarding 1b, yes I agree, some fancy searching features would be nice and that's on my to-do list.

1a, and 1c are I think, in your case related.

1c first - by default, the enter key triggers the locator. So I think I'd seed to see your exact app before I can commenton that.

1a - this is completely not normal behavior. I regularly locate, change sort order, locate some more etc.

So please email me an example so I can have a look - especially for 1a.

Cheers
Bruce
