dropDownMenu onclick

[rcroonenberghs]

Hi,

I have a dropdownmenu with diffrent items, clicking one of them directs the users to a diffrent page. But I wanted to have a similar behaviour when people clik on the top level itself.

In the example I need the users to view the home page when cliking home

<rich:toolBar>

    <rich:dropDownMenu value="#{msg.menu_common}" >                                          
    <rich:menuItem submitMode="none"
       onclick="#{path.dynamicUrl}somelink">
       <h:outputLink value="#{path.dynamicUrl}somelink">
            <h:outputText value="#{msg.menu_common_item1}"></h:outputText >
        </h:outputLink>
     </rich:menuItem>

...

I tried adding an outputlink

<rich:dropDownMenu value="#{msg.menu_common}" >

    <h:outputLink  value="#{path.dynamicUrl}home">

     <h:outputText value="Home"></h:outputText  >    
    </h:outputLink>

But this does not get rendered.

I know dropDownMenu doenst have a onclick event. But is there a work around / solution to my problem?

Inside your dropdown menu use a facet:

<rich:dropDownMenu value="#{msg.menu_common}" >

    <f:facet name="label">

         <h:outputLink  value="#{path.dynamicUrl}home">

         <h:outputText value="Home"></h:outputText  >    
     </h:outputLink>

     </f:facet>

That should work.
