Oracle APEX

Notes

Syntax and shortcut for the functions within the "apex.item" Javascript
namespace.
1. Retrieve an item value
apex.item('P9_EMPNO').getValue()
$v('P9_EMPNO')
x = $v("P2_TEXT_FIELD");
y = $v("P2_DISPLAY_ONLY");
$x("P9_ENAME").value;

2. Sets an item value

apex.item('P9_ENAME').setValue('MOIN')
$s('P9_ENAME','MOIN');
Apex.item(‘P9_MGR’).setValue(‘’,’’)

3. Retrieve multiple items from an array

myArr = $v2("P9_MGR");
for (idx=0; idx < myArr.length; idx++) {
//do something with myArr[idx];
}

4. Retrieve display values from LOV, Radiogroups & Checkboxes

apex.item('P9_DEPTNO').getValue();
apex.item('P9_DEPTNO').displayValueFor(20);
 And apex.item can do even more: You'll find functions for all the things you
can do with dynamic actions (show, hide, enable, disable, set focus, assign a
CSS style).

5. Show() and Hide()

apex.item( "P9_ENAME" ).hide() ;
apex.item( "P9_ENAME" ).show();

6. Enable() and Disable()

apex.item("P9_DEPTNO").disable();
apex.item("P9_DEPTNO").enable();

7. isChanged(), isEmpty(), isDisabled(), isReady()

apex.item(“P_ENAME”).isChanged();
Console.log -> false
apex.item(“P_ENAME”).setValue(“MOIN”);
apex.item(“P_ENAME”).isChanged();
Console.log -> true

8. setFocus

9. setStyle
apex.item("P9_SAL").setStyle({"background-color":"Yellow",
"font-weight":"bold"});

$x determines whether an item with the given name exists on the current
page.
