getting confirmation on ajax call

[waq]

I am having a small problem. I wrote a javascrpit function to get the confirmation from the user for deletion or updating the record.

I called that function from onsubmit = "function" of the form tag.
I also have a h:selectOneMenu that updates some fields using a4j. Now the problem is that when i change the h:selectOneMenu it also calls that confirmation function. I only want to call that function when button is pressed and whole forms submit.
Any Suggestion..?

Hi,

Set the function to buttons.

ok issue resolved. One more question.
When an ajax call is made it renders only particular components defined in the ajax region and not the whole form. Rite?
If yes then why was it calling form's onsubmit on ajax call?

Hello,

No, that's not right, partial rendering is not limited to region. There are two main stages in JSF lifecycle: execute and render. During execute: data submitted/user actions are processed; during render: components are encoded to the client. By default, region components control execute phase only and do not affect rendering. More: the whole form is submitted even if regions are used.
