How to make an item clickable that open the URL contained in another item in a new tab

Christian Pitet.Mar 17 2026 — edited Mar 17 2026

Hi,

Under Oracle APEX 24.2.14, I have a form with an item type text that is filled by the user at the creation time, it is an URL of a video on Youtube. This item name is :P46_URL_YOUTUBE. There is another item named :P46_YOUTUBE_VIDEO. It would be a clickable item that would display the video at the adress contained by :P46_URL_YOUTUBE, in a new window with the attribute “_blank” in the URL. Once the form is created, when one come back to this form, the item :P46_YOUTUBE_VIDEO (type display only I think) would appear and when the user click on it, it will open a new window on Youtube referenced by the item :P46_URL_YOUTUBE.

Best regards.
