Hide/Show Dynamic Action Stopped Working

Question

Good Morning,
Once I upgraded my application to Apex 4.2.2, my dynamic action stopped working. It worked fine in 4.1.
I also used javascript to hide/show my fields.
code below
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function onPgLoad()
//hides reporting select, unless certain utcs are selected they are selected
  var ForceGenUTCSrch = $v('P310_FORCE_GEN_UTC_SRCH');
  var RptMenu         = $v('P310_REPORT_MENU');
if  (RptMenu == '1'&&(ForceGenUTCSrch == '0GTAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '8MMUB' || ForceGenUTCSrch == 'CCMAR' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '0GQGC' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '0GQGB' || ForceGenUTCSrch =='3NNNA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3PQAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == 'XMCAS' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '8NJAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == 'XMMCB' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '9VCBH' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3PNAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3PLFA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3PMAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3NSAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '8NHAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == 'CBSAD' || ForceGenUTCSrch == 'CCVAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '9VDLB' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3NHAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='1HDAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='0EZ99' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='0JZ99' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='1AZ99'|| ForceGenUTCSrch=='9YZ99' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='CUZ99'))
    var get = new htmldb_Get(null,null,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=PROC_UTC_RPRTG_ORG',0);
   gReturn=get.get();
    $x_ShowItemRow('P310_FORCE_GEN_RPRTG_ORGN');
   else
     $x_HideItemRow('P310_FORCE_GEN_RPRTG_ORGN');
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function FunSelUTC()
//hides reporting select, unless certain utcs are selected they are selected
  var ForceGenUTCSrch = $v('P310_FORCE_GEN_UTC_SRCH');
  var RptMenu         = $v('P310_REPORT_MENU');
alert(RptMenu);
if  (RptMenu == '1'&&(ForceGenUTCSrch == '0GTAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '8MMUB'|| ForceGenUTCSrch == 'CCMAR' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '0GQGC' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '0GQGB' || ForceGenUTCSrch =='3NNNA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3PQAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == 'XMCAS' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '8NJAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == 'XMMCB' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '9VCBH' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3PNAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3PLFA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3PMAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3NSAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '8NHAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == 'CBSAD' || ForceGenUTCSrch == 'CCVAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '9VDLB' || ForceGenUTCSrch == '3NHAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='1HDAA' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='0EZ99' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='0JZ99' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='1AZ99' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='9YZ99' || ForceGenUTCSrch=='CUZ99'))
     //alert(ForceGenUTCSrch);
    var get = new htmldb_Get(null,null,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=PROC_UTC_RPRTG_ORG',0);
   gReturn=get.get();
     $x_ShowItemRow('P310_FORCE_GEN_RPRTG_ORGN');
   //  $('#FORCE_GEN_REPORT1#').show();
   else
     //alert(ForceGenUTCSrch);
     $x_HideItemRow('P310_FORCE_GEN_RPRTG_ORGN');
    // $('#FORCE_GEN_REPORT1#').hide();
</script>
javascript: onload="onPgLoad();"I kept the code just in case I needed it @ a later time.
My Dynamic Action
Event: on change
item --> :p310_force_gen_utc_srch (this is a select list that submits)
conditon --> in list
value --> '0GTAA', '8MMUB', 'CCMAR', '0GQGC', '0GQGB', '3NNNA', '3PQAA', 'XMCAS', '8NJAA', 'XMMCB', '9VCBH', '3PNAA'
True Action --> show :p310_force_gen_rprtg_orgn
False Action --> hide :p310_force_gen_rprtg_orgn
They both fire on page load.
The :p319_utc_srch has submits the page because the :p310_force_gen_rprtg_orgn lov runs a query to pull back that units reporting orgs only.
Please help me figure this out.
Thanks,
Mary

Hi Mary,
So you changed from the code presented to a DA ? I'm not clear as to exactly happens or doesn't happen.
Do you know if your AJAX calls are failing?
If you use a Console like the one on Firebug or Chrome you can inspect what's being send and what's being returned.
I mention this because your htmldb_Get calls looks suspicious.
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,null,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=PROC_UTC_RPRTG_ORG',0);I would change it to
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=PROC_UTC_RPRTG_ORG',$v('pFlowStepId'));That would pass the app_id and the page_id that is calling. Although this is probably not your current issue.
See if you can find some javascript error. It's possible that this is a timing problem as to when the code is defined and when it's loaded.
Thanks
