Link in my customized Report Template doesn't work – Apex 3.1

Question

I created a report template based on columns of my report
My query report is:
SELECT MEM_NAS ID, MEM_NOM NAME, MEM_DATE_NAIS BIRTH
FROM ACMT_MEMBRE;
My customized report template have this Row Template definition:
<tr onclick="redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:#ID#');">
<td #ALIGNMENT# class="t16data_edit">#NAME#</td>
<td #ALIGNMENT# class="t16data_edit">#BIRTH#</td>
</tr>
This would redirect to the page 6 when user click anywhere on a row but it doesn’t work.
I have this error message:
CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');">
I realized that problem is caused by #ID# because if I hardcode this ID, it works.
How can my report template get the “ID” from my query report ?
Apex version: 3.1

Is the report template definitely of type Named Column (row template) (defined on App Builder page 4000:4654) and not Generic Columns (column template) (defined on page 400:258)?
Note that the <tt>#ALIGNMENT#</tt> substitution string is not supported in named column templates. Set column alignment explicitly using HTML attributes in the template, or use CSS.

{code}Where do you see this? It looks like there's a mismatch between the report columns returned by the query and those referenced in the report template. Or the data contains unsafe HTML characters that aren't being escaped.
Yes, my report query has a column called ID and it's set as Hidden. This could be the problem. In a report based on a named column template any columns referenced in the template must be +shown+ in the report, even if (as in this case) the column value is not visible to the user: the positioning of the <tt>#ID#</tt> column placeholder in the <tt>onclick</tt> attribute rather than in a table cell is what makes it "hidden". *The Show checkbox for the ID column must be checked.*
From the gobbledygook being generated it looks like there could be a row selector checkbox column in this report as well? Named column row templates must include substitution placeholders for every shown column. It's also advisable to keep the columns in the same order in the SQL, report column attributes and row template.
Something like
{code}
&lt;tr onclick="redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:#ID#');"&gt;
<td class="t16data_edit">#CHECK$01#</td>
<td class="t16data_edit">#NAME#</td>
<td class="t16data_edit">#BIRTH#</td>
</tr>
{code}
I realized that problem is caused by #ID# because if I hardcode this ID, it works.
How can my report template get the “ID” from my query report ?If the above doesn't help then the easiest way to troubleshoot this would be for you to upload the app to apex.oracle.com and post guest developer credentials for the workspace so we can see the whole thing: template, SQL, and report attributes. Otherwise we're likely to and up with a lot of tedious to and fro here posting bits of code and attribute values.
