add new row to rich:datatable or scrollable datatable using

Hi All,

I'd like to have a button to add a blank new row to the rich:datatable for data input. Did some searching on forum/google that I can only find a solution to trigger an action to add an item to the List of the backing bean and re-render the table. But is there a pure client-side way to add a new row using javascript, and do a server request to save all the rows the user added?

I'm using MyFaces 1.1.6, facelets and Richfaces 3.1.6 SR1

Thanks in advance.

Alan

Similar case if it would be nice if there's a way to delete a row using javascript.

Thanks.
Alan

I'm afraid that you should implement this on your own and care about client side rows addition and data synchronization on server side.. I just want to tell that the approach you propose is not native for JSF framework where the client side just represents the component tree and the changes should be performed via server side model changes... You could use ajax components to insert/delete the row via ajax. Properly optimized ajax requests will works in a short time.
