I am having problems using javascript:confirmDelete

Question

I have two pages created by the wizard, a report with a form. As you all know you view a list of records on the report then click the “Edit” button and it calls the form to edit the individual row. I have made a change to the action of these two pages. When you are on the report page and click “Create” you are moved to a blank form page. Once you have entered your new record you click “Create” and the row is saved. By default you are then moved back to the report page. The same this happens when you “Apply Changes” or “Delete”. My problem is that I have altered this behavior to return you back to the form and the record you just created or edited. This was done by editing the “Go to Page” branch created by the wizard to go to the form page rather then the report page. I also set the “Return Key into Item” in the “Automatic Row Processing (DML)” process to the page item containing the primary key value. This all works as I would like it to except for “Delete” it tries to come back to the form page and gives a “No Data Found” error. I would like it to just return to a blank form page or even go back to the report page. I do not know how to change or intercept the page the “Delete” button sends you to when it is set to use the URL javascript:confirmDelete.
I am using: Application Express 2.2.1.00.04

Chris - You need to create a branch on the page that goes back to the report page when button pressed is DELETE (Delete). Give this branch a lower sequence number than unconditional branches on that page. If you look at the HTML source of your form page you'll see < a href="javascript:confirmDelete(htmldb_delete_message,'DELETE');">Delete< /a> for the delete confirmation message confirmation action. If you check the javascript function confirmDelete, I think you'll see that it submits the page using the second argument ('DELETE' in your case) as the request.
