Oracle Application Express 5: Developing Web Applications — Question 33

Which is true about the Button Name attribute?

Answer options

• A. When the page is submitted by clicking the button, the value of REQUEST is set to the button name.
• B. The button name is a unique identifier on a page. No other buttons or page items on the page can have the same name.
• C. The button name defines what database action is done on page submit.
• D. The button name serves as a static ID, which is useful when developing custom JavaScript functionality for the button.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when a button is clicked, its name is sent as part of the REQUEST variable to the server. Option B is incorrect as multiple buttons can have the same name; C is wrong because the button name does not inherently define the database action; D is misleading as the button name is not solely a static ID but serves a different purpose in context.
