How to extract the HTML code generated in a Region at runtime?
Hi,
We have an Apex page that has a ListView region that I wan to save the html generated code to a table in the database. The ListView content varies depending on the user viewing the page. I need to do this when the user clicks the Submit button.
Is this possible? Does APEX have any plsql/javascript api to extract this information? Is it stored in a table somewhere?
We're using APEX 18.2 version.
Appreciate any feedback.
Regards,
Allen

Hello Allen,
Have you thought about Email Templates? You can use HTML to render something similar to what the user originally saw.
Hope this helps!

Hello Allen,
I'm a bit confused about your requirement. Maybe explaining what is the purpose of saving HTML code from a page in a table would help us suggesting an approach.
As for extracting the HTML code generated by APEX with an API, that doesn't exist and they're really no need for doing that in my point of view.
Your best bet is to inspect a page after it has been generated, but it sounds like you want some sort of automated HTML page save, which I don't quite understand.
If you can provide more details, maybe we can offer a solution.

Hi Sylvain,
Actually the page shows some sort of document where the user needs to select options. Once all the required options have been selected, the user is redirected to a Review and Acknowledge page and would need to accept. I would like to take a snapshot of this page once the user accepts (click SUBMIT) and save it to the database (can be clob or blob). I also need to send it to the user via email. I was hoping to send the same document (content and design/visual) to the user if possible.
Although I soon realized that the rendering of the region possibly refers to several CSS links which makes it look the way it is on APEX and it may not look the same way via email. Hence, I agree that there is really no need for an API.
I've already thought of a few alternate approach but suggestions are always appreciated.
Thanks.
