When apex application get session?

Question

Hi!
Can anyone tell me when application get session? I use plugin for dropdown menu and now I must set link for page. I tried to set link like this f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION. so browser could use it like localhost:8080/apex/*f?p=1000:2:386966391988601:::::*, but that doesn't work for me. I also try to set like f?p=1000.:2:&SESSION. (error i get is Bad Request The HTTP client sent a request that this server could not understand.) or f?p=1000:2: (here I must log in evry time i want use that link) and nothing work good for me.
Regards,
Dragan

Answer 1

The <script> ... </script> has to be in HTML Header and not in Page HTML Body Attribute.
Is it in the right place?
To test it add an alert after the assignment.
<script type="text/javascript">
  var pAPP_ID = &APP_ID.;
  var pSESSION = &SESSION.;
alert ('App Id='+pAPP_ID);
</script>On page load you should get the alert with the App Id.
On second thoughts , the documentation says
To use this menu, you'll need a source of data that provides menu options in the format: ID, Parent ID, name, link and level. So why not populate the APP_ID and Session in the link using
Select ....
'f?p=' || v('APP_ID') ||':'|| page_no ||':'||v('SESSION') link,
