Getting values from dynamic items

Question

I've created some items on my page using APEX_ITEM. This is a really cool feature, it allows extreme flexibility. My problem is, I can not get the value out of the textbox I've created.
It doesn't appear in session state at all. I thought this wasn't going to happen though.
I've tried a computation to get the value into a hidden item. These items appear null upon submittal.
I came across APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01 - but this isn't working for me either... It appears to be used to access an array and I must not be using it correctly.
Anyone got any pointers on how to get the information out??

Answer 1

Here is the formatted code (put pre and */pre* before and after blocks, replacing asterisks with matched square brackets):
  v_item_desc varchar2(4000);
  v_counter number;
  cursor v_item_cursor is
    {select statement}
begin
  v_counter := 1;
  htp.p('< table>');
  for aRow in v_item_cursor
  loop
    select X
      into v_item_desc
      from Y
      where Z = v_counter;
    htp.p(
      '< tr>< td>< span style="line-height:25px;font-size:15px">'|| apex_item.display_and_save(v_counter, null, null, null)||v_item_desc||'< /span>< /td>');
    htp.p(
      '< td>'||apex_item.text(v_counter, null, 30, 4000, null, 'P6_SUM_SELECT_'||v_counter)|| '< /td>< /tr>');
    v_counter := v_counter + 1;
  end loop;
  htp.p('< /table>');
end;In your after-submit process, loop over apex_application.g_f01 from 1..apex_application.g_f01.count for the array created when you used v_counter=1, etc.
