Apex_item.radiogroup

Question

Hi,
I need help regarding the apex_item.radiogroup.
I am fetching the data from table in report region. There is one status column which has either 'A' active or 'I' inactive. corresponding to one unique record we can have multiple subrecord and
only one is active. In the report region i am trying to show the active and inactive radiobutton per row. and if select any row as active in the report other rows radiobutton should be inactive so once i hit the update button i don't have to think which all other went to inactive.
my query looks like
select apex_item.hidden(10, primary_key) || record,
apex_item.radiogroup(3, h.status,'A', 'Active')||apex_item.radiogroup(3, h.status, 'I', 'Inactive'),
case when rec_flag = 'N' then 'NO' else 'YES' end "flag"
from table
If there is 4 rows selected based on this query only one row radio button is highlighted.
I am new to apex and need your help.

Hi,
For the select list issue - the fourth parameter of the APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST function allows for attributes, so you can do:
apex_item.select_list(3, h.status, 'Active;A,Inactive;I','onchange="javascript:myfunction(this);"') "Status"Then you create a function called myfunction(ss) that is triggered by the value of the select list changing - onclick is not used here. As we are passing "this" into the function, we can loop through all select lists, except for the current one and change their values where needed:
function myfunction(ss)
if (ss.value == 'A')
  var sLists = document.getElementsByName('f03');
  var k;
  if (sLists)
   for (k = 0; k < sLists.length; k++)
    if (sLists[k] != ss)
     sLists[k].value = 'I';
}So, as long as we change the current list to A, then we change all the others to I.
For the radio buttons, if you need to use two buttons per row, you should have a radiogroup that is for each row separately. Your use of "pk_table" for the Inactive button should also be used for the Active button. When the user clicks on either Active or Inactive, you would then have to loop through all the radiogroups and set the appropriate value.
To get to all the buttons, you have to do something like:
var x = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
var k;
if (x)
for (k = 0; k < x.length; k++)
  if (k.type == 'RADIO')
   do something herre
