APEX

Hi all

In Apex 5.0.2 with Universal Theme I am using a dynamic list for my drop down navigation menu. In some cases, depending on data on the page, I have to remove a specific menu item. I was hoping to use one of the extra attributes to identify the correct element, as the Apex help indicates "...optional attributes within a list template, which can be used to reference list entry user defined attributes 1 - 10".

My list query is now:

select level

  ,label

  ,decode(type,'M','#','f?p='||app||':'||page||':'||:APP\_SESSION||'::'||:DEBUG)  target

  ,null   is\_current\_list\_entry

  ,null   image

  ,null   image\_attribute

  ,null   image\_alt\_attribute

  ,**page   attribute1**

from his_apx_menu_structure

... etc ...

Attribute1 maps to data-id in the <li> element,as I verified by looking at the page source:

<li data-id**="MLFRKNR0"** data-disabled="" data-hide="" data-shortcut="" data-icon=""><a href="javascript:apex.navigation.dialog('f?p=....

However, because of some Javascript (? my guess anyway) this information is lost when the Apex Javascript adds id's and classes to the li elements. I can see with Firebug that the collapsed menu looks like:

So, this does not work:

$("li[data-id='MLFRKNR0']").remove();

I just get an "object not found".

This works:

$("#151_menubar_1_2").remove();

But I do not know the element id.

Any ideas on how to dynamically remove a list item from an Apex drop down menu?

Thanks for any ideas.
