What I want to do is select a menu item, and have the scorllableDataTable in another Iframe be rerendered AFTER the menuItem action is performed; The menuItem action will update the resultset for the ScrollableDataTable. To do this I assumed that the following wouold work, but it does not. Here is what I have, Please give me ideas to fix this or replace it:
page hoding navigation and iframe with scrollable data table
.
.
<body>
<div id="header" style="text-align:center">
<ui:include src="layout/header.xhtml" />
</div>
<div id="navigation" >
<ui:include src="layout/navigation.xhtml" />
</div>
<div id="contentDiv">
CASES FOR: <USER>
<iframe scrolling="no" id="contentFrame" onload="resize_iframe()" src="caselist.seam" style="width:100%;border:none">
</iframe>
</div>
.
.
caselist.seam - holds the scrollable data table. is Src'd into the iframe above
.
.
<h:form
id="casetableform"
style="width:802px;margin:auto;border:solid 1px">
<rich:scrollableDataTable
id="casetable"
rows="50"
columnClasses="col"
value="#{caseList}"
var="case"
sortMode="single"
width="800px"
height="600px"
>
.
.
Navigation.xhtml - is included in main page above. Holds the navigation menuitem that is supposed to update the scrollabledatatable in the iframe
<h:form>
<rich:toolBar>
<rich:dropDownMenu value="View">
<rich:menuItem value="All Cases" submitMode="ajax" target="contentFrame" reRender="casetable" action="#{CASELISTFORM.doCaseListQry('ALL')}"></rich:menuItem>
Is the above the correct way to proceed? the action is executing, and I am clearly gettting a new resultset for the datatable, but the rerender is NOT occuring. Why??? are target and reRender working for the menuItem component?
