problem with a4j:support and javascript event

[herbertdow]

merry christmas everyone!

i got a problem where i didn´t find a solution or a hint in the manual or the forum, but it seems like quite a common issue to me

when i use a4j:support in an item that uses an javascript event, either the js or the a4j does not work, like here:

<h:column>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{ptn.selected}" onclick="return dataTableSelectOne(this);">
<a4j:support event="onselect" action="#{kuvptnsearch.dummy}" reRender="ptnSearchButtons"/>
</h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
</h:column>

the onclick is called, die onselect rerendering does not happen. if i turn events around and use onselect on the checkbox-tag and onclick on the a4j:support it is the other way round?! what am i doing wrong? can anyone please help?

thanks and kind regards,
herbert

1) onselect description

Javascript code executed when text within this
 element is selected by the user.

Is it really the event you need? (Nothing about RF, just standard JSF event description)

2)

 <h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
 <a4j:support event="onclick"></a4j:support>
 </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>

works fine for me. request fired.

oops, yes of course. but if i do this:

<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{ptn.selected}" onclick="dataTableSelectOne(this);">
<a4j:support event="onclick" reRender="ptnSearchButtons"/>
</h:selectBooleanCheckbox>

this is rendered:



nothing of the a4j-tag. and no ajax-rerendering happens. if i remove the onclick at the selectbooleancheckbox the rerendering works. how can i do both? call the javascript-method and do the a4j-support rerendering?

this:

\<input type="checkbox" name="searchForm:ptnSearchResult:0:_id47" onclick="dataTableSelectOne(this);\/\>

is what is rendered

if you need to perform you custom js call and then trigger the ajax request - you probably should use JSFunction component. support works as designed. It will not add its call if the event - redefined on the component level.
