Set check in row selector checkbox of report via javascript

Question

This may be a stupid question. I thought I saw the answer here before. I just can't seem to find it.
I have an updateable report that allows users to enter data. The issue is unless they check the row selector checkbox, when they submit, the row is not processed. I want to put an onchange event on the columns to automatically check the rowselector box when something is changed on the row. Any ideas? Possibly a link to a previous post.
Thanks
Kevin

On the field that you update set the onchange event to call a function similar to the following: onchange=setRowSelectorState(this);
In the HTML Header section put a function definition similar to the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function setRowSelectorState(pThis){
-- get current row number
-- thanks Patrick Wolf (http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/2007/01/accessing-tabular-form-cell-with.html)
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1); -- gets current row number
-- get row selector for current row assuming its field 'f01_'
var cbxField = html_GetElement('f01_' + vRow);
-- add some logic if need be
var mytest = 0;
if (mytest == 0) {
cbxField.checked = true;
} else {
cbxField.checked = false;
</script>
Simple example but it works. See Patrick's link above to a more detailed example.
