Modal Window
So far all the requirements have been met except for the modal window. Because it is easier to develop,
debug, and demonstrate our example without the extra complexities of a modal window, this was saved
for last. To implement the modal window a free Dynamic Action plug-in from
http://apex-plugin.com
will be used.
Note
http://apex-plugin.com
is a site where developers post plug-ins for the rest of the community. It is not
maintained by Oracle so it's recommended that you review each plug-in before installing it for your organization.
The plug-in that will be used for the modal window is called ClariFit Simple Modal. This plug-in can
convert a region into a modal window. The following steps cover how to download and install the plug-
in.
Go to
http://www.apex-plugin.com/oracle-apex-plugins/dynamic-action-
plugin/clarifit-simple-modal 56.html
and download the zip file. The
download link is on the bottom-right part of the page.
