Interactive Report - Go button perform a page submit?

Question

Hi,
Is it possible to obtain a normal page submit when the Go button in Interactive Report is submitted?
I would like a normal page submit as this is the reliable way to have my different check boxes and select lists saved. These checkboxes and select lists act as bind variables in the IR query, and I do not get reliable results without the page submit. You may for instance experience that the report output looks ok according to your selections, but when you then download to excel, the report content reflects the true session state values.....
Alternatively is it possible to remove/hide the Go button? I could then add a normal button to perform the page submit. I just do not like to confuse my users with two buttons..... for the same purpose....
Best regards,
Jesper

Hi,
With jQuery you can easily change that button attributes.
E.g. set button to submit page, add below to page HTML header
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
  $('.apex_finderbar_left .formlayout td input[value="Go"]').removeAttr("onclick");
  $('.apex_finderbar_left .formlayout td input[value="Go"]').bind('click',function(){
    doSubmit('MYREQUEST');
</script>If you like hide button, add to page HTML header
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
  $('.apex_finderbar_left .formlayout td input[value="Go"]').hide();
</script>Remember load jQuery javascript library also.
