best way to hightlight refreshed area

[margotmedia]

What is the best way to highlight the refreshed area?
I can think about use of oncomplete attribute, but it's a little verbose.
This is alsa a feature request: what about a way to describe the visual effect on target side instead of source side?

Source side is something like that:

<a4j:support reRender="area1" oncomplete="Effect.Appear('area1')"/>

Target side would be instead (this is not possible now in RichFaces):

<a4j:outputPanel id="area1" refreshEffect="Appear">
Simple text
</a4j:outpPanel>
...
<aj4:support ... reRender="area1"/>

I think the second option is usually better.

Hi,

Not a problem:

<h:form id="form">
 <a4j:commandLink value="Update panel" reRender="box" />

 <rich:panel id="box">
 <h:outputText value="Text content" />

 <h:panelGroup rendered="#{ajaxContext.ajaxRequest}">
 <rich:effect type="Highlight" name="effectFunc" for="box" />
 <script type="text/javascript">
 effectFunc();
 </script>
 </h:panelGroup>
 </rich:panel>

 </h:form>
