I know you can create a custom button and create a task on click using Javascript. can you apply the same thing to visualforce pages? The button code looks like this:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/17.0/connection.js" )} var t1= new sforce.SObject("Task" ); t1.OwnerId = "##############3"; t1.Subject = "This is my subject"; t1.Status = "Not Started"; t1.Priority = "Normal"; t1.whatId = "#############"; result = sforce.connection.create([t1]);
So would the VF page code look like this?
<apex:page > <script language="Javasript">
var t1= new sforce.SObject("Task" ); t1.OwnerId = "##############3"; t1.Subject = "This is my subject"; t1.Status = "Not Started"; t1.Priority = "Normal"; t1.whatId = "#############"; result = sforce.connection.create([t1]); </script> </apex:page>
I've looked but have failed to find a remedy thus far. Any input is welcome.
I have a page that creates multiple records at once, with buttons that can add or remove rows(new records) to a pageblocktable. This works. All the records save perfectly.
In addition to these rows there are other inputfields that contain information that should be applied to every single new record. The data from these inputfields does not save. All the fields are found under the same object "End_of_Month_Report__c". Below is the VF page. HTML has been added to format the layout.

i have run into some difficulties - the dynamic search is not working and i can not work it out so i added a submit button but this just gives an error
Attempt to de-reference a null object
this is the controller
public with sharing class ContactSearchController {
// the soql without the order and limit
private String soql {get;set;}
// the collection of contacts to display
public List <Contact> contacts {get;set;}
// the current sort direction. defaults to asc
public String sortDir {
get { if (sortDir == null) { sortDir = 'asc'; } return sortDir; }
set;
}

public String sortField {
get { if (sortField == null) {sortField = 'lastName'; } return sortField; }
set;
}
// format the soql for display on the visualforce page
public String debugSoql {
get { return soql + ' order by ' + sortField + ' ' + sortDir + ' limit 20'; }
set;
}
// init the controller and display some sample data when the page loads
public ContactSearchController() {

runQuery();
}

// run the query again
runQuery();
}
// runs the actual query

} catch (Exception e) {

}
}

If anyone can help me you would be a lifesaver!!!
Pretty simple question. How do you set the height of a Rich Text field in a visualforce page. It seems like no matter what I do it is stuck at 35px which is obviously not very useful.
I'm trying to incorporate a rich text textarea into a Visualforce page. I tried using the richtext="true" attribute, but it seems like I don't have very little control over the size and location of the textarea once it's rendered. This creates the rich text editor fine:
but adding rows & cols attributes doesn't work, nor does adding css to the element (e.g. style="width:150px; height: 100px"). It just displays as wide as it can fit. I'm getting input for a SObject, so I'm using inputField elsewhere, but this seems to work as far as getting input in and out goes -- it gets and saves the field data with no problem.
Unlike inputField though, this won't automatically generate a label, so I also tried something like this:
But that doesn't work either -- it just pushes the rich textarea over to the right.
Has anyone had any luck using this inside a PageBlockSection amongst other inputFields?
I also tried a few other WYSIWYG packages that I used in other work -- TinyMCE and the WYMeditor plugin for jquery. However, I was not able to get either to work in the visualforce page. Both require a class or id attribute to identify the textArea to make rich text. Identifying class doesn't seem to work. I also tried using the id, but the id seems to get transformed in the output. Looking at the source of the html frame, I see something like id="j_id0:j_id3:j_id4:j_id32:specialTextArea". I also tried that id, but it didn't work either. If anyone has gotten another WYSIWYG editor working with visualforce, I'd be interested in hearing about that also.
