How to hide expand button in TreeTable.

I saw many questions about how to hide expand button for leaf nodes in treeTable or tree component. So I'll show a simple trick. The idea is to hide it with CSS class which will be assigned to column in the nodeStamp facet if a view object row does not have child records.

Attractive ADF.

Imho, attractive functionality is better than just functionality. In this post I'm going to show how you can use jQuery in ADF applications.

Advanced hotkeys in ADF.

In this post I'm going to share a way to get a fully functional hotkeys support in ADF applications.
AccessKey property has many restrictions which I don't like:

• it is a browser specific feature (accessKey is triggered by browser-specific and platform-specific modifier keys. It even has browser-specific meaning. For example, Internet Explorer 7.0 will set focus when you press Alt+. Firefox 2.0 on some operating systems you press Alt+Shift+. Firefox 2.0 on other operating systems you press Control+);
• I can't have hotkeys like Ctrl+Space;
• I can't trigger particular events;
• I can't set several hotkeys for one component;
• and so on.

So I've written a script which gives me ability to circumvent this restrictions and easily add hotkeys (and one auxiliary script which provides methods to obtain af:document component, attach listeners to dom elements in different browsers and initialize my custom libraries when document is loaded).

Non resizable panel splitter.

There is a component Panel Splitter, which used to divide a region into two parts one of which can be resized or collapsed. Great but there are cases when I want only to collapse/uncollapse one side and not to resize. The panelSplitter doesn't have such property. After playing with firebug I've made a css class wich satisfies my needs.

Checkboxes and radiobuttons

Tired of native checkboxes and radiobuttons which look different in browsers and have inconsistent appearance?

Complex forms? Simple and easy!

   In this post I'll show you how to make form with such layout simply and easy. The idea is to use trinidad table in which inputs will stretch the entire width of a cell.
