dynamic appearing data tables

[ajanz]

i got a page with different datatables. dependig on serveral events like button click i want one datatable to disappear and one to appear. how can i do this without page reloading?

[daniel.soneira]

either use some a4j:support (onclick) that trigger actions which in turn set some model attribute that is used to render the tables like so:

<a4j:commandLink action="#{myController.changeAttribute1}" reRender="regionTable1"/>

<a4j:outputPanel id="regionTable1" rendered="#{myModel.attribute1}">
 <rich:dataTable>
 ...
 </rich:dataTable>
</a4j:outputPanel>

or use jQuery - that would not require an AJAX request, but on reload of the page the tables' visible state would be lost/reset without further actions.
