<a4j:support event="onselect"> does not work with <h:selectOneMenu>

[gerry365]

Hello All,

Apologies if this issue has already been dealt with elsewhere.

My code looks something like this:

<h:selectOneMenu ........>

     <f:selectItems .......... />

     <a4j:support event="onselect" ......... />

</h:selectOneMenu>

This code doesn't work either:

<h:selectOneListbox ........>

     <f:selectItems .......... />

     <a4j:support event="onselect" ......... />

</h:selectOneListbox>

The problem is that "onselect" is the only event not working with this combination of elements. "onchange", "onclick", etc, work correctly. Unfortunately, my use case requires me to use the "onselect" event. AFAIK, <a4j:support> should handle events generated by its parent element.

Is this a bug?

remove support and add onselect="alert('alert')" to component and compare the results.

Ilya,

Thank you for your rapid reply; it's most appreciated. However, I don't understand what you've suggested. Here's my actual code:

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{productServices.selectedProduct}">
    <f:selectItems value="#{productsMap}" id="id_SelectedProduct" />
    <a4j:support id="id_onselecProduct"
            actionListener="#{productServices.setProduct()}"
            event="onselect" reRender="productpanel" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

Are you suggesting I remove <a4j:support> element? If so, where does my action listener go?

Hi,

If you don't see alert, then event is not being invoked by your actions. Please check documentation for "onselect" carefully.

Ilya & Nick,

Thanks for your help.

I have tried Ilya's suggestion and now realise that the 'onselect' event is actually not supported by the <select> element. 'onchange' and 'onclick' are supported. How odd.

Documentation at http://www.jsftoolbox.com/documentation/help/12-TagReference/html/h_selectOneMenu.html states that the 'onselect' event is supported by <h:selectOneMenu> and by <h:selectOneListbox>. However, documentation at http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_Select.asp does not list 'onselect' as an event supported by <select>.

Once again thanks for your help.
