2 likes891 views
This document provides an overview and demonstration of dynamic actions in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It begins with definitions and background on client-side events and JavaScript. The anatomy of a dynamic action is explained, including the event, actions, and affected elements. Examples are shown of hiding and showing elements, setting values, uppercase coding on key release, and using AJAX. Advanced topics discussed include the triggeringElement object and building complex pages. Resources are listed for further examples and tutorials on dynamic actions.
