Hide rich:dataTable

[yanivah]

Hi,

I'm developing search portlet with richfaces 3.3.3.

In the search page there is search fields and table of results.

When the page is first load, I don't want to show the table.

How can I hide the rich:dataTable in the creation of the page and after click on the search button show him????

I tried to do it with java script but it didn't worked.

Tnx, Yaniv

"RichFaces Development" subspace is not for general usage questions: http://community.jboss.org/en/richfaces/dev, moving the thread to correct space.

Have something like:

{code:xml}
<a4j:outputPanel id="resultsPanel">

<rich:extendedDataTable  id="resultsTable" rendered="#{not empty myBean.resultsList}"
....
</rich:extendedDataTable>
</a4j:outputPanel>

<a4j:commandButton action="#{myBean.doSearch}" reRender="resultsPanel"/>
{code}

There's a golden rule in RichFaces - If a component is conditionally rendered (ie. has a rendered= tag), then you should NEVER have it as a target in a reRendered= tag.  That's why the table is wrapped in the outputPanel above.
