APEX

Ver: 4.1.0

Hi There,

For regular text,display and LOV type items we can use the APEX_ITEM procedures in a select and it works great. I had two questions,

1. For one of the fields in the select, I want to add a button next to it which would be used to submit the page and run a validation to check if the text item is correct against a table.
2. Is there a javascript command that can be put in that button when pressed that will submit the page and execute the validations, processes before it?

If this was a regular page item I could easily create a button next to it. But I am dynamically generating the form using the APEX_ITEM procedure so I cannot use the regular buttons from what I understand.

Any help please!

Thanks,
Sun
