Report Data from Javascript

Question

I have a report with SQL: select ID, Name from XXX.
My result is displayed in vertical report with 1 record at a time.
How do I get a handle to ID in javascript of what record is currently displayed? Do I need to use APEX_ITEM?
Thanks,
Arik

Hi Arik,
You can set the javascript value within the SQL statement itself. See: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:190]
In the region's Region Header, put:
<script type="text/javascript">
var empno;
</script>and in the region's Region Footer, put:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="javascript:alert(empno);">Click me</a>and the region's Source is:
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME || '<script type="text/javascript">empno=' || EMPNO || ';</script>' ENAME
FROM EMPThe first setting sets up a javascript variable and the source sets the variable to the current EMPNO value. The Footer setting is just to demo that this works.
Note that the report must not use Partial Page Refresh otherwise the javascript variable will not get updated.
