Ola,
If you search the forum, you will find lot of discussions on this issue..
In nutshell, solution is -
Case 1: If you have enabled partial refresh for your report ( pagination works through AJAX)
Then
a. onClick of any check-box, call JS function, lets say fnSaveState(this);
b. In JS function, update/store all the checked check-boxes info in JS variable or array.
c. Bind a JS function, lets say fnSetState() - which will set the check boxes to either checked or un-checked based on JS variable/array value(s) to pagination onClick event.
Case 2: If you have not enabled partial refresh for your report
Then
a. onClick of any check-box, call JS function, lets say fnSaveState(this);
b. In JS function, store the check-box status in any hidden_item and insert its value into session with dummy AJAX call.
c. On page load call JS function, lets say fnSetState() - which will set the check boxes to either checked or un-checked based on hidden item value(s) .
Hope it helps.
