Rich javascript function findComponent

[tapas.235711131719]

I am trying to add a dynamic onclick event using rich:findComponent as:

{code:xml}

<font class="topFirstTablehdCategory2" style="font-size: 12px; cursor: pointer;" onclick="#{rich:findComponent('benchmarkEndDate').value = channelPerformanceController.resetDate}">

        RESET

    </font>

{code}

But I am getting:

{code}com.sun.el.parser.ParseException: Encountered "=" at line 1, column 48.{code}

What I am willing to do, is to set string value to a rich:calender whose id is benchmarkEndDate supplied from the field resetDate of ChannelPerformanceController class.

I also write a javascript method in the jsp page:

{code}

    function setResetDate(id, date) {

        #{rich:findComponent('benchmarkEndDate').value} = date;

    }

{code}

is not working. It is called as: onclick="setResetDate('benchmarkEndDate', '#{channelPerformanceController.resetDate}')"

It is rendering in browser as:

{code}

    function setResetDate(id, date) {

            2011-03-24 00:00:00.0 = date;

    }

{code}

This method:

{code}

    function setResetDate(id, date) {

            document.getElementById(#{rich:clientId(id)}) = date;

    }

{code}

is change into :

{code}

    function setResetDate(id, date) {

            document.getElementById() = date;

    }

{code}

What I am doing wrong? How can I achieve this?

RF has next kind of functions:

functions which rendering JS code(called client funcs):

• clientId
• element
• component

and ones which just evaluates some server side expressions:

• findComponent - evaluated to server side component instance
• isUserInRole - evaluated to externalContext.isUserInRole

So seems you using wrong kind of function to perform client side action. You should use rich:component and check proper JS method which changes current value of the calendar.
