OnClick event for a button

Question

hi! i did up a form using the wizard and added an extra button besides the usual update,reset etc.
i need the onClick event of the extra button to call up a pl/sql procedure, pass in a parameter and ideally open up the report/chart in a new window and without the toolbars etc.
i tried the following:
phang.aresulttally?qid_p='QUESTION_RESULT.MASTER_BLOCK.QID.01.value'
where QUESTION_RESULT.MASTER_BLOCK.QID.01.value is a text box value from the form.
It gives me some scripting error when i run the form.
but if i use the following:
phang.aresulttally?qid_p=2
it works and opens in a new window?!
pls advise.
thx

For the onClick javascript event of the new button, call your own javascript function as:-
myFunc(this);return;
Then, you need to generate this javascript function using pl/sql in the Additional pl/sql Section - ... before displaying the page or ... after displaying the page.
The code to get the value of a field and to open a new window would look something like :-
htp.p('
<script>
function myFunc(ele)
var l_form = ele.form;
var win;
var val;
var l_url = "<url>?";
for (var i = 0; i < l_form.length ; i++){
if (l_form.elements.name == "QUESTION_RESULT.MASTER_BLOCK.QID.01"){
val = l_form.elements[i].value;
l_url = l_url+val;
win=window.open(l_url);
</script>
