How to use $x_Toggle with a static region variable?

Question

I have a region with a static_id = FAVORITES. It has a footer with code to pass the static region id to a page variable:
<script type="text/javascript">
        $s('P110_FAVORITES_ID','#REGION_STATIC_ID#');
</script>When the page is opened, a region with the following code is run.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    *// $x_Toggle('R5953131863873231Body');*
    $x_Toggle($v('P110_FAVORITES_ID'));
    $x("P110_SEARCH").focus();
</script>Essentially, if this is a new report being created, I would like the FAVORITES region to open automatically. If this is an updated report, then it should be CLOSED. When the region id was hardcode 'R595313....Body', it opened. I am trying to replace these hardcode values with a variable...but again, think I have the wrong syntax. Any thoughts?
THanks. Karen

Ah! I see the "issue" right away and the source of the frustration. :)
The template on the top has id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#", but the body of the region uses #REGION_ID# instead of #REGION_STATIC_ID#.
So change your template to this:
<table class="t13FormRegion" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" summary="" id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#" #REGION_ATTRIBUTES#>
<thead class="t13RegionHeader">
<tr>
<th class="t13RegionTitle">#TITLE#<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_13/plus.gif" onclick="htmldb_ToggleWithImage(this,'#REGION_STATIC_ID#Body')" style="margin:0 5px;" class="pseudoButtonInactive" id="FISHHEADER" /></th>
<th class="t13RegionButtons">#CLOSE#  #PREVIOUS##NEXT# #DELETE##EDIT##CHANGE##CREATE##CREATE2##EXPAND##COPY##HELP#</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#Body" style="display:none;">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="t13RegionBody">#BODY#</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>Notice I changed it in two places. I changed the Javascript with the ToggleWithImages call.
Then test it out to make sure it all still works as before. Meaning the toggle works.
Then, the code I mentioned before using simply $x_Toggle('FAVORITESBody'); will work assuming the Static ID field does contain FAVORITES on it.
The way the REGION_STATIC_ID works is that if you specify a value in the Static ID APEX will use that. If you leave it empty APEX will use the region's unique ID. So it will always work.
Because you will be specifying the Static ID name to use there is absolutely no need to find out what the value is or save it to a variable.
Test is out...
