Checkbox and report page in new window

Question

Hi team,
I have the following problem.
On a page I display a report where each row has a checkbox.
The user can check a row and press a button (button in region)to produce a more detailed report. I want to display this report in a new window. I know that I can use the javascript PopUpURL or PopUp2. The issue I have is that I have to process the checkbox with function htmldb_application.g_f01(i). I can't use that directly. So what I have done is create a hidden field and assign the return value of the formentioned function to it in a Page processing computation. The problem I hit is that page processing is/has not taken place. Therefor the call to the new page is missing a paramater because the hidden field is empty.

Hi Raymond,
1. Create a URL redirect branch back to the same page when the VIEW button is pressed
"f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:&REQUEST.:&DEBUG.:"
2. Create an Hidden Item P1_HIDDEN_ITEM
3. Create an after submit computation to null the hidden value item
4. Create an after submit computation to find out which check box is checked.
Dynamically generate the popup URL you would like to view into the Hidden Item.
P1_HIDDEN_ITEM
3. Create a JavaScript function called showpopup in the page HTML Header region
<script>
function showpopup () {
if ("&REQUEST." == "VIEW")
if ("&P1_HIDDEN_ITEM." != null)
popupURL('&P1_HIDDEN_ITEM.');
</script>
4. Call the showpopup function in on load JavaScript region. onLoad="showpopup();"
Try this and see if it works for you.
Also I would have changed the Checkbox to a Radio button group because this will limit the user to select only one row.
