a button that calls javascript, then runs 2 bean functions?

[snod0g]

i want the user to click some type of a4j button that will do the following order of operations:

1) run my local javascript function that grabs a stringValue from the DOM
2) call a function bean.setSomething(stringValue)
3) call another function bean.getSomething()


i am a newbie to a4j so if one of u smart guys could help me out it would help me alot because i really want to keep using this nice framework

thank you

a4j:jsFunction is a "some type of a4j button" that is "clicked" by javascript.
So, you are on the right way. jsFunction perfectly match your scenario
