Select All problems on an updateable report

Question

Greetings. I have a problem with the Updateable Report functionality in Apex version 3.0.1.00.07. I'd love to demonstrate the problem, but my account at apex.oracle.com is version 3.2.0.00.27, and apparently, the Updateable Report functionality has been removed from that version. Does anyone know if there's a way to create an Oracle account using older versions?
My problems, in brief, are that when you have more than one updateable report region on the same page, clicking Select All on either table selects all rows of both tables; and that if both tables have only one row, clicking on Select all does nothing.
Please see http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dccf36js_40gmczpddd for a more detailed problem description.
Any thoughts on how to solve either or both of these problems is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
Firstly, you can still create Updatable reports in the latest version of Apex. Create a Report using the SQL Wizard and, when the report region has been created, change the report type.
Secondly, the checkboxes for both reports are being ticked/unticked together as the javascript being run assumes that there is only one updatable report on the page and, therefore, only one set of "f01" checkboxes. You can get around this by overriding the javascript by adding your own version.
Create a new region in the Before Footer region of the page and using No Template (so that the region is hidden) and use the following as the source:
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkAll(masterCheckbox) {
  var p = masterCheckbox.parentNode;
  while (p.tagName != 'TABLE')
    p = p.parentNode;
  var f = p.getElementsByTagName("input");
  if (masterCheckbox.checked) {
    for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++) {
      if (f.type == "checkbox") {
if (f[i].checked==false) {
f[i].checked=true;
highlight_row(f[i],i);
} else {
for (var i = 0; i< f.length; i++) {
if (f[i].type == "checkbox") {
if (f[i].checked == true) {
f[i].checked = false;
highlight_row(f[i],i);
</script>
I have done this here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:82]
One thing though...  What happens when the user submits the page?  Both reports will have "f01" checkboxes with values starting from 1 and only those that are ticked are submitted with the page.  Thus, a checkbox with a value of 1 could refer to either report.
