Hi All,

I am using richfaces suggestionbox. Since the number of items retrieved will depend on the first character typed, i wanted to change the height of the suggestion box (which has a initial value of 150) according to the no of items retrieved.

I have the following code in the JSF page:

 <rich:suggestionbox id="taSuggestBox" for="taSuggest" style ="font-size:12px" tokens="" frequency="0" selfRendered="true" ignoreDupResponses="true"
 rules="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.rules}"
 suggestionAction="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.autocompleteTA}" var="result"
 fetchValue="#{result.taName}" rows="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.intRows}"
 first="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.intFirst}"
 minChars="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.minchars}"
 shadowOpacity="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.shadowOpacity}"
 border="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.border}" width="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.width}"
 height="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.height}"
 shadowDepth="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.shadowDepth}"
 cellpadding="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.cellpadding}" >
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{result.taName}" />
 </h:column>
 <a4j:support event="onselect" action="#{uiQuickSearchListPopulator.getLMFMADCountTA}"
 reRender="tooltipTA,taLMFCount,taMADCount,quickSearchName,quickTotLMFCount,quickTotMADCount"></a4j:support>
 </rich:suggestionbox>

THe default value of the height has been set to 150 px
In the backing bean's method autocompleteTA i change the height:

 //Set the height of the component to match the no of records fetched.
 int taListSize = taList.size();
 if (taListSize < 8) {
 this.height = new Integer(20*taListSize).toString();
 }

The problem is that the height does not change even though there is one item retrieved.

Any ideas of what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Madhav
