display a table when clicking a link

[davely]

Hello,

I am trying to display some rows of a table only if the user clicks on a link in the table. What is the best way to do this ? I need to use s:link on some text, and then some rows of the table would appear kinda similar to a SimpleTogglePanel.

Any ideas ?

Thanks very much

Maybe you could try a4j:support and use the reRender-Attibute

Thanks Christian,

hmmm I looked at a4j:support reRender-Attribute, but not sure how to start.

I tried a

<a4j:commandButton value="update" reRender="infoBlock"/>

<h:panelGrid id="infoBlock">
some data to display when user press update
</h:panelGrid>

but it didn't work.

Any sample examples or sites you could refer me to ?

What I am trying to do is to display rows of a table when a user clicks on a link. Sorta like an explorer tree, when I click on the file, it is expanded and sub files are displayed. So I am trying to do this with rows, when I click on a row, it is expanded and rows are displayed below with information.

Thanks!
