Yellow Input fields

[Former Member]

I have a problem where some fields appear yellow on the screen. When this occurs they do not pass the value entered in them forward. Anyone else seen this?

Anthony, did you ever get an answer to this problem? I experienced the same issue and cured the problem by disabling the autofill functionality on the Google toolbar in my browser.

Thanks so much. That worked. Nice. I would have never thought of that.

That is a great revelation, thanks a lot, Terry.

Hi Anthony,

Can you post the code for those fields, in fact posting the entire code (hopefully not more than 50 lines) would help identifying the reason ?

Please explain, what does "when this occurs they do not pass the value entered in them forward" mean ?

Do you want to pass these values to another view, another controller etc...

I am not allowed to pass the values entered in the input field to the next BSP page with flow logic. If you click the refresh button at the top of the screen the fields change to normal and work as desired. I found this to be a regular occurance anytime I used the word "zip" or "postal" on the screen. There are 1500 lines of code for this screen because they are tabs inside a tableview.

here is the code in question:

PeerReviewDate appears yellow.

<htmlb:textView text="After completing the Peer Review meeting, come back to the AWAIR system to complete the fields below." />

</br>

<htmlb:label id = "myInputRevDate_Label"

for = "myInputReviewDate"

design = "emphasized"

text = "<b>Peer Review Date:</b> "

encode = "false"

required = "false"

width = "200"

wrapping = "false" />

<htmlb:inputField id = "myInputReviewDate"

type = "date"

required = "false"

disabled = "false"

value = "<%= PeerReviewDate %>"

showHelp = "false" />

</br>

<htmlb:label id = "myInputPeer_Label"

for = "myInputPeerMember"

design = "emphasized"

text = "<b>Peer Review Members:</b> "

encode = "false"

required = "false"

width = "200"

wrapping = "false" />

<htmlb:inputField id = "myInputPeerMember"

type = "string"

required = "false"

disabled = "false"

size = "35"

value = "<%= zPeerReviewers %>" />

See no reason immediately why things are yellow. Suspect it might have to do with changes made to the stylesheets.

Also, look at the use of HTML for text attributes. This should not really be done, especially when you have already an emphasized design.

Has nothing to do with the stylesheets. If I comment them out the fields are still yellow. I can't explain it either. It's like a certain combination of letters form a reserved word and the BSP pages have issues with it.

Ahha, I think the light just went on. Or maybe not?

Where exactly are you seeing this "yellow" stuff? Do you (A) see it in the browser (the actual rendered HTML is yellow), or (B) do you see it in the SAPGUI display of your source code?

If (B), then it is just a break-point that is set at this specific line of source code in the editor.

I wish it were that easy. It's in the Web page after the HTML is rendered. I could send you a picture if you like, but SDN doesn't allow me to paste them into my reply.

Email me (name.surname@sap.com) a screen shot, the exact code on the BSP page that you wrote, plus the source that you have in the browser (do a right mouse--view source). This sounds like an interesting bug.

On it's way
