Setting Item Session State using Ajax

This question is a frequently asked one. So, how can you set a value of an item without submitting a page? Today, I answered that question in the Oracle Forum. In addition to that, I created an example in my Demo Application showing those few steps you need to make in order to achieve that. Basically, you just need a small piece of javascript in your page header and an "onchange" call of that javascript in the HTML Form Element Attributes of your item. The code is generic and you can just copy-paste it without a need to change anything.



Enjoy.
