Dynamically render items

Question

Is there a way I can dynamically render items on a page?
I have a table with item names, types (radio, checkbox, etc), default values and labels. I want to be able to just add rows to this table and have them show up just as if I had manually added the items using the App Builder. After Submit procesing for the page should be able to access the values of the items just as "easily"
Thanks

Hi, <BR><BR>
Ok, I've created a plsql region as follows to dynamically build my form:<BR><BR>
DECLARE<BR>
--Cursor to pull out all active records from RES_DLV_CONSERVATION table<BR>
cursor c_records is <BR>
select CON_ID, CON_SCHEME <BR>
from RES_DLV_CONSERVATION <BR>
where CON_ACTIVE = 1;<BR>
--Variables to hold the records from the cursor<BR>
v_id number;<BR>
v_record varchar2(4000);<BR><BR>
BEGIN<BR><BR>
--Open a table to hold the manually created Accreditation form<BR>
htp.p('<table>');<BR><BR>
--open cursor and loop through records populating variables<BR>
open c_records;<BR>
loop<BR>
fetch c_records into v_id, v_record;<BR>
exit when c_records%notfound;<BR><BR>
<i>--Build a form dynamically using the variables. <BR>
--Use the record id to create the names of the form items<BR>
--so they can be referenced later. <BR>
--('chk_' prefix for checkboxes, 'inp_' prefix for text)</i><BR><BR>
htp.p('<tr><BR>
<td><font class="label_def">'||v_record||' </font></td><BR>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="chk_'||v_id||'"></input> </td><BR>
<td><font class="label_def">Names of Accredited Staff</font></td><BR>
<td><input type="text" name="inp_'||v_id||'" style="width:300"></input><BR>
Seperate each name with a comma (,)</td><tr>');<BR>
end loop;<BR>
close c_records;<BR><BR>
--Close table<BR>
htp.p('</table>');<BR><BR>
END;<BR><BR>
I've named each of by items using the record id. <BR>
I now have to create an insert function to populate my table from the form<BR>
How do I then reference these items manually to insert the values into my table.<BR><BR>
Cheers<BR>
