Instead of creating a procedure that renders the html for an item plugin, a function should be created returning the apex_plugin.t_page_item_render_result PLSQL-type. I created a package "pkg_apex_plugin" containing the "render_slider" function so it can be called from "Callbacks"->"Render function Name" without having to declare the function in the "Source" region. One more thing you shouldn't forget: In your page template include the jQuery UI script and the css necessary to render the slider nicely by adding the lines <link href="#IMAGE_PREFIX#libraries/jquery-ui/1.8/themes/base/jquery.ui.slider.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#libraries/jquery-ui/1.8/ui/minified/jquery.ui.slider.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> just after the #HEAD# substitution variable. You can download the package containing the slider render code <a href="http://blog.whitehorses.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/apex_40_slider_plugin.zip" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Hi Paolo,

I created a package “pkg_apex_plugin” containing the “render_slider” function so it can be called from “Callbacks”->”Render function Name” without having to declare the function in the “Source” region.
One more thing you shouldn’t forget: In your page template include the jQuery UI script and the css necessary to render the slider nicely by adding the lines

<link href="#IMAGE_PREFIX#libraries/jquery-ui/1.8/themes/base/jquery.ui.slider.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#libraries/jquery-ui/1.8/ui/minified/jquery.ui.slider.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

just after the #HEAD# substitution variable.
You can download the package containing the slider render code here.

When i use procedure name "render_slider" in the section of "callbacks" definition, the application accept the entry, but when i execute the page, the application return me the following error: ORA-06550: line 50, column 46: PLS-00201: identifier 'DAILYINC.RENDER_SLIDER' must be declared ORA-06550: line 50, column 1: PL/SQL: Statement ignored any suggest?
