APEX

Hi, I want to show/hide a region when user clicks on a button.

I saw the example in "http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:29:3342298547087148"

I created a region with static id = "REGION1"
I then created a button "Test" with button type as "Template Driven" and action as "Redirect to URL without submitting the page".
I selected the button template "BUTTON" and selected the Target as URL
In the URL Target section I have
$x_Show('REGION1');

but when I run this page, and when I click on the button Test, I get a javascript syntax error.

When I checked the call that is being made on clicking the button, I found that the call is as follows:

javascript:'redirect('$x_Show('REGION1');)'

This call indeed has syntax errors (notice the single quotes).

I am not able to solve the issue.

I read the "Advanced user guide" for APEX. The pdf also mentions the same steps to be able to call javascript function from a button. But this is not working.

What is wrong here?
