I have a lot of page items and depending upon a set "context" the user is in, a particular textfield/select list can mean different things.
To assist the user I want to add helptext that is dynamically generated from the backend using package routines.
Right now I save the helptexts generated in hidden items and make the items helptext point to the item. This works fine but it can be much better if I could use HTML to format them just way we would had we manually written the helptext in the items helptext section.
All HTML tags we add to the helptext show up as bare tags when the user clicks the label.
Is there any way to get the helptext to format using HTML tags thats returned from the backend?
Also on a related note: sometimes an item is required and at other times the same item may be optional. Is there a way I can change the label template of the item dynamically to show this?
I have Application Express 4.1.1.00.23 running on
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
