PAGE_ITEM_NAMES_TO_JQUERY Function (Deprecated)

Note:

This API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

This function returns a jQuery selector based on a comma delimited string of page item names. For example, you could use this function for a plug-in attribute called "Page Items to Submit" where the JavaScript code has to read the values of the specified page items.

    p_page_item_names   IN VARCHAR2 )
RETURN VARCHAR2;

Example

The following example shows the code to construct the initialization call for a JavaScript function called myOwnWidget. This function gets an object with several attributes where one attribute is pageItemsToSubmit which is expected to be a jQuery selector.

apex_javascript.add_onload_code (
    p_code => 'myOwnWidget('||
                  '"#'||p_item.name||'",'||
                  '{'||
                  apex_javascript.add_attribute('ajaxIdentifier',      apex_plugin.get_ajax_identifier)||
                  apex_javascript.add_attribute('dependingOnSelector', apex_plugin_util.page_item_names_to_jquery(p_item.lov_cascade_parent_items))||
                  apex_javascript.add_attribute('optimizeRefresh',     p_item.ajax_optimize_refresh)||
                  apex_javascript.add_attribute('pageItemsToSubmit',   apex_plugin_util.page_item_names_to_jquery(p_item.ajax_items_to_submit))||
                  apex_javascript.add_attribute('nullValue',           p_item.lov_null_value, false, false)||
                  '});' );
