Problem with Apex hosted SQL Workspace

Question

Hi,
I am having trouble with using currval on this site in SQL workshop. I have a demo table and have defined a sequence via sql. I successfully insert a sequence_name.nextval but when I try to add a related child record with current value of the sequence I keep getting this:
ORA-08002: sequence ORDERS_ORDER#_SEQ.CURRVAL is not yet defined in this session
I can check on nextval from dual and I can select the currval from dual also but when I try to use the currval in an insert, I get the same error above. Also, sometimes I get the same message even when selecting currval from dual. Seems like a problem with Apex at this hosted site. Or does Apex SQL workshop have issues with currval.
PM

Scott, Can you explain a little more about the difference between a hidden item that is set to display never & the other type of item which I am assuming is "display as text saves state" and display never?
When I viewed the source for both of these I could not see the items in source code.
Also for an item that is passed into a popup I am exposing hidden item's identity is there a different way to pass values... here is my example:
<!-- Begin of popup for DNS_NAME -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
<!-- window size was 800*600 -->
<!-- window size was 400*300 -->
function popupPage(url) {w = open(url,"winDnsName","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=500,height=450"); if (w.opener == null) w.opener = self; w.focus(); }
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function callDnsNamePopup (IPId) {
var IPId = document.getElementById('P103_IP_ID').value;
var url;
url = 'f?p=110:106:2066309280674317::::P106_IP_ID:' + IPId;
w = open(url,"winDnsName","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
<!-- END of popup for DNS Name -->
At the same time if I set an item as hidden and display never I cannot use it with a call to a popup...
