General idea of using reRender and sending a form for a newb

[damar]

I have the following:

<tr>

<td>
 <a4j:commandButton value="testButton" reRender="activityMain">
</td>
<td>
 <a4j:form id="activityMain">
 </a4j:form>
</td>

</tr>

Idea is I have a button on the left. When the button is pressed, I have to update the view area (id=activityMain) on the right, with the form content from from form.xhtml. can somebody give me some general idea how I do this?

Thanks,

************** a form.xhtml file *****************

<a4j:form>
 form content....

</a4j:form>

************end of form.xhtml file***********

Hi damar,
Actually it should work like that, but you can use the commandButton only when it's surrendered by a form tag...
And then you have to careful because you can't use nesed forms...:

Hi,

I am trying to do something like in fruits-selector example at:
http://livedemo.exadel.com/fruits-selector/

In the example, table data is updated based on the selection on radio buttons. Here, the table structure remains the same, but only values are updated. But, in my case, what I am trying to do is based on the selection, the area -- where the table is in the example -- will be updated from different .xhtml file (part of html component - table, form, etc).

In other words, the part of the html has to be created with codes (for that particular area, binding), but this has to come from the .xhtml file.

Is is possible?

Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

Thanks, damar

you can use a4j:include to include some content from xhtml file now. What is your problem?
