Add element to list without rerendering container

[atyauristen]

hey,

I have a question for you

Consider you have a list, for example an UL with some LI elements. Let's say they are messages or something like that. When I get a new message, what I want to do is creating a new LI element and adding it to the DOM tree, so it's displayed in the list, and everything is done by JS, AJAX requests.

As far as I know, this cannot be done in richfaces (and jsf) without rerendering the corresponding UL element, so the holder of the whole list. But this is what I know, the question is what you know about this Maybe it can be done somehow.

thanks for your replies,

cheers,

could just pass the value you need to add using data attribute of ajax component and insert to DOM using your own JavaScript in oncomplete.

thanks for the reply!

that's almost what i did i think.

i added the data to a "new element" hidden div, and after it was there, i moved it with jquery attachTo to the element i wanted to,

but what's the data attribute of the ajax component exactly you're talking about?
