stop onload event from firing after a4j:commandButton proces

rebeccapeltz Sep 27, 2007 1:33 PM

<body onload="init();">

<a4j:commandButton
type="submit"
value="Update"
reRender="individualRateFormat#{selectedService.sequence}"
limitToList="true"
action="#{buildTemplate.updateServiceAction}"
onclick ="setHiddenParam('#{selectedService.sequence}')"/>

The ajax seems to be updating just the panel that I named above, but it also ends up call the javascript init() function indicating the onload event is triggered.
Is there any way to suppress the triggering of the onload event?

Thanks

what does action="#{buildTemplate.updateServiceAction}" and what it returns?

the updateServiceAction changes a rate type - this is a backing bean structure change - so that when the panel is rerendered a different rate input form is displayed

I have a list of these panels and command buttons. When I click on update I see the input form changing but I am always sent to the top of the page even if I have click on an input down near the bottom of the page. I think the init() is doing this, but I'm not sure why the init() is being called. I didn't know an AJAX response would trigger a body on load.

By the way even though I have multiple update buttons I'm only using one form.
