I am using Oracle APEX version 18.2.0.00.12 on Google Chrome, and I have a question regarding referencing page items on a Modal Dialog page using JavaScript.
I will use the Sample App "Sample Database Application" to show an example of the problem I am having. On Page 2 of the application, when I click on a Customer's Name in order to edit his data, a modal dialog page (page 7) opens with details about the customer.
The problem: when I open the JavaScript console and try to print the customer's first name using $v("PAGE_ITEM_NAME"), an empty String is printed instead of the String "John". The name of the page item is P7_CUST_FIRST_NAME
I am only experiencing this problem on Modal Dialog pages. I am able to successfully print the value of page items on Normal/Non-Modal Dialog pages using JavaScript.
Does anyone know why I am unable to print the value of this page item using JavaScript?
Thank you.
