datascroller not working if the table grow bigger

[vh]

we have a table with a datascroller and a control to show more data. It works fine when it first show up.
For example, the table originally have 2 pages, the scroller shows 2 pages and you can use > button to go to the second page. But if we click on "more data", and reRender the table and the scroller, now the scroller shows 4 pages correctly, but when you click on the > button to navigate through the pages, you can only go to the second page, you can't reach the third page, clicking on the > button gave no response.
I think this has something to do with the JSF life cycle, the info about 4 page is not available early enough for the scroller to pick up. Is it true? How to solve this problem?

This datascroller should be inside <h:form /> tag....


<rich:dataTable id="listingValues" style="text-align:center;" var="employee" rows="5"
value="#{employees.resultList}"rendered="#{not empty employees.resultList}">


<rich:datascroller align="right" for="listingValues" maxPages="2"
page="#{dataTableScrollerBean.scrollerPage}" reRender="sc2" id="sc1" />


The field for="listingValues" in the datascroller is mapped with the datatable id (id="listingValues")

employees.resultList list from the database.

I think this will help.... you....

Thanks for the response. I have done what you mentioned already. If the table initially shows 10 pages, and later shows 5 pages, everything works fine. But if the table original show 10 pages, and later show 12 pages, the last 2 pages cannot be navigated to by the next button in the scroller (but the scroller does show there are 12 pages total).

<rich:dataTable id="employeeListId" style="text-align:center;" var="employee"
rows="5" value="#{employeeList.resultList}"
rendered="#{not empty employeeList.resultList}">


In data table rows=5 is used to define number of recors to diaplay... per page...

<rich:panel>
<rich:dataTable>

<h:output value=#{employee.name}/>
...
....
...

</rich:dataTable>
</rich:panel>
<rich:datascroller align="right" for="employeeListId" maxPages="2"
page="#{dataTableScrollerBean.scrollerPage}" reRender="sc2" id="sc1" />


The datascroller sholud be placed like this...
Try this one...
Please check the mapping is done properly.....

Also please show your RF version. In latest 3.2.1 GA - datascroller was improved and I highly recommend you to use it.
