Delete chackbox for manually create report region

Question

Hi guys,
First of all I want to say you're providing excellent support. I did research the topic but didn't come accross anything that worked (not to say I couldn't have missed something either). My challenge for the moment is that I've manually created a couple of multi-row report regions which appear on the same page & need to flag records for deletion. As I'm sure you know - I used the htmldb_item package to accomplish this - but the htmldb_item package doesn't support chekboxes. Is there a workaround?
Kind Regards,
Sabrina

Okay - here is one example of something I tried. You're right it's not necessarily a "bug", but as this note is made from the following how-to link "not supported".
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/tabular_form.html
Note: Checkbox, popup calendar, and popup key LOV
are not supported under updateable column attributes in report attributes section.
Example:
Select
x.address_line1,
x.address_line2,
x.town,
x.postal_code,
x.cntry_code
from
(Select
htmldb_item.text(1,address_line1,10) address_line1,
htmldb_item.text(2,address_line2,10) address_line2,
htmldb_item.text(3,town,10) town,
htmldb_item.text(4,postal_code,10)postal_code,
htmldb_item.text(4,cntry_code,10) cntry_code,
htmldb_item.checkbox(5,del_flag,decode( del_flag, 'Y', 'CHECKED', NULL )) del_flag
from addresses
where a_pid = :P7_PID
union all
Select
htmldb_item.text(1,null,10) address_line1,
htmldb_item.text(2,null,10) address_line2,
htmldb_item.text(3,null,10) town,
htmldb_item.text(4,null,10) postal_code,
htmldb_item.text(4,null,10) cntry_code,
htmldb_item.checkbox(5,null) del_flag
from all_objects where rownum < nvl(:P7_ROWS,2)) x
