How do a reset when switching between tabs in tabPanel

[daxxy]

I have a tab panel with 2 tabs: Basic Search and Advanced Search.

The Basic search inputs are duplicated on the Advanced Search tab where additional inputs are added (see pseudo code, below). When the user clicks on the Advanced Search tab, I want anything that might have been input on the Basic search tab to be reset to null.

Here is the code

<rich:tabPanel headerClass="tabClass">
 <rich:tab label="Basic Search">
 <h:panelGrid columns="1">

 <item 1>
 <item 2>
 <item 3>

 </h:panelGrid>
 </rich:tab>

 <rich:tab label="Advanced Search">
 <h:panelGrid columns="1">

 <item 1>
 <item 2>
 <item 3>
 <item 4>
 <item 5>
 <item 6>

 </h:panelGrid>
 </rich:tab>
 </rich:tabPanel>

you can try to use ontabchange event and in action reset values.

Thanks, elf. That makes sense.

I am new enough to J2EE and javascript that given this:

<rich:tab label="Advanced Search" ontabenter="do an action">

And an action like this

public class SearchTabAction {

 @In
 Devices device;

 public void resetAll() {
 System.out.println("TDR reset all");
 }


}

How do I call the action from the eventhandler?

Please note that I'm sure this is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an example right now.

simple example

<rich:tabPanel ontabchange="#{tabsBean.resetAll}" switchType="ajax">

guys.. you can't define server side methods in client side events handlers. use a4j:support for that.
