Help with the check box.

Question

Hi,
I have a question with the Checkbox. I am using Apex 4.0.
I have 5 checkboxes and using the Lovs I have given values to each check box.
When I select the checkboxes and submit, the values are inserted into a single column.
Example
Consider CB as check box
CB1 1
CB2 2
CB3 3
CB4 4
CB5 5
When I Select CB1, CB4, CB5 In database it stores as 1:4:5 But, I need it to be stored as 10045 format. Like if I select CB2,3 5 then it should be stored as 02305
The return value of the checkbox should be displayed along with the other unselected values as 0s as told in the above format.
Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks,
Rik

If you want to show the value on screen(can't set it to the same checkbox item)
checkbox_item_name = 'P133_CHECK';  //checkbox item name
checkbox_value_item_name = 'P133_CHECKBOX_VALUE'; // Item which has the checkbox value concatenated 0 for not checked and checkbox value when checked
$('#'+checkbox_item_name).find('input[type=checkbox]').click( function(){
  var val = '';
  $('#'+checkbox_item_name).find('input[type=checkbox]').each( function(){
    if ( $(this).is(':checked') ){ val+= $(this).val(); }
    else { val+=0; }
  $s(checkbox_value_item_name,val);
If you want to just use the value in PLSQL, it is much more simpler
Create a Dynamic Action that is triggered "*before page submit*"
Execute JS code
checkbox_item_name = 'P100_CHECK';  //checkbox item name, change it appropriately
var val = '';
$('#'+checkbox_item_name).find('input[type=checkbox]').each( function(){
  if ( $(this).is(':checked') ){ val+= $(this).val(); }
  else { val+=0; }
$s(checkbox_item_name,val);Now when the checkbox submits, the checkbox item would have the concatenated value as required.
