Richfaces 3.3 rich:effect -- Newbe question

[anthonyna]

Hi I am trying to use the rich:effect to highlight a column or column header in a datatable.

I have a input text difined as follows:
<s:decorate template="layout/display.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">Service</ui:define>
<h:inputText id="Service" value="#{customMckKbSearchList.customMckKbSearch.service}">
<a4j:support
event="onkeyup"
eventsQueue="foo1"
action="#{pageController.initDataScroller}"
reRender="customMckKbSearchList,totalCount"/>
<rich:effect event="oncomplete" type="Highlight" params="duration:1.8" />
<rich:effect event="oncomplete" for="serviceHigh" type="Appear" params="delay:3.0,duration:1.1"/>

</h:inputText>
</s:decorate>

Not sure why -- but on the richface demo page the source for the highlight effect has 2 rich effect statments not sure if I need both ???

The datatable is deifned as so:

<rich:dataTable id="customMckKbSearchList"
var="customMckKbSearch"
value="#{customMckKbSearchList.resultList}"
onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#F1F1F1'"
onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#{a4jSkin.tableBackgroundColor}'"
rendered="#{not empty customMckKbSearchList.resultList}"
onRowDblClick="location.href='/kbSearchR/CustomMckKbSearch.seam?customMckKbSearchKnowledgeRef=#{customMckKbSearch.knowledgeRef}&displayPage=2&cid=#{conversation.id}'"
rows="20">

<rich:column sortBy="#{customMckKbSearch.service}" id="ServiceId">
<f:facet name="header">

<h:outputText id="ServiceLabel" value="Service" ></h:outputText>
</f:facet>

<h:outputText value="#{customMckKbSearch.service}" style="cursor: hand"/>
</rich:column>

I would like for the following to happen:

When user finsihs typeing I would like to hight the column or header of the column to indicate that is the search parameter entered

Thanks in advance

Sorry I have pasted an error the

<rich:effect event="oncomplete" for="serviceId" type="Appear" params="delay:3.0,duration:1.1"/>

Thanks

you have effect as a child of inputText. inputText has no oncomplete event. So it isn't fired.

Thank you for the response, which makes sense... Is there a way to accomplish this ??

rich:effect can be rendered as JS function that can be then called from anywhere, e.g. by oncomplete. Read: http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/effect.jsf?c=effect&tab=usage for more information.
