I need to reference the value of this element:
<h:outputText id="employeeName" value="#{myRow[0].id.employeeName}"/>
using javascript. The above is renders as follows, for example:
<span id="mainForm:dataTable1:1:employeeName">JONATHAN GONZALEZ</span>
whereas a hidden field
<h:inputHidden id="siteId" value="#{myRow[0].id.siteId}"/>
is rendered as follows:
how can I reference the outputText field using javascript or must I assign it to a hidden field, etc.???
