Retrieve ExtendedDatatable Javascript Object.

[radulf]

My english is not so good, so I apologize for any bad grammar.

My problem is as follow: I style mypage using jQuery ui-layout (http://layout.jquery-dev.net/index.cfm). The pane is consisted of panels that can be expanded/collapsed and one of them have a extended data table. The problem is when I expand/collapse one of the panels, the layout of the table is not recalculated as it is only updated when there is a window resize. I could force the call of the window resize, but I would like better to get the extended data table object and call the appropriate methods (well, assuming that for know it would be OnWindowResize method, but preferable than calling a jQuery(window).resize() for now).

Is there a way a can I do this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Someone? At least I would like to know if that is not possible.

try #{rich:component('edtId')}.OnWindowResize()

b.t.w. client API for that component was not tested as component - community contributed.. so if will be some problems - better probably to use workaround.

It worked as charm, but i did it a little diferently. Not the best approach, but I need to retrieve the object from a .js file, where I couldn't use the EL function. So, to workaround this, i used the prototype function $$ to retrieve everything with 'extdt-maindiv' class and got its components (the part that was missing for me ). The function that is called when the panels are resized looks like this now:

function westLayoutPanelResized() {
    // only have one table.
    var element = $$('.extdt-maindiv')[0];
    
    if (element != null) {
        var extDt = element.component;
        extDt.OnWindowResize();
    }
};

Thanks a bunch.
