datascroller oncomplete bug?

[ronaldj52]

Hi,

i have two javascripts that are called onclick and oncomplete

<rich:datascroller id="myId"
renderIfSinglePage="false"
onclick="inWork();"
oncomplete="done();"/>

the inWork() basically just displays a div "Please wait" and the done() hides the div again.

It works fine if I click on the page numbers / fast forward buttons IF there are more pages.
If I however is on the first page and clicks on the "<<" or "<" buttons
(they are both dimmed out btw, but we know that that will not stop the users from still clicking them :)

when one of those is clicked, the onclick-event is fired (i.e. my "Please Wait" div is displayed), but the oncomplete-event is NOT fired, meaning that my div does not go away.

It works the same way for ">", ">>" when at the end of the list.

It seems to be a bug in the datascroller component here. Either both events should be fired or none of them.

Does anyone have a quick workaround?
(Could i for example check some variable in javascript to see if the "<<" is dimmed out, and act accordingly?)

Oops, forgot to include that i use RichFaces 3.3.0

try to use status instead of datascroller events.

thanks for the answer, but i dont quite understand.

The documentation for datascroller says:

status ID (in format of call UIComponent.findComponent()) of Request status component

i dont really understand how to use this, can you give an example?

I tried looking up an element with the name i define in status, but only get null back...there is also no variable with that name defined as far as i can see...

thanks for the info, i got it to work now, excellent!

<a4j:status id="a4jstatus" onstart="inWork();" onstop="done();"/>
