Very nice. Thank you very much, Martin! I really recommend that Wicket add some prebuilt behaviors. There should be some sort of Ajax clear component behavior, and some Ajax confirmation behavior, etc. This is so that we can get hard-coded, manual JavaScript out of our code, and start developing in terms of semantically-named prebuilt classes rather than coding JavaScript boilerplate. Now I know that the Ajax core team hate this idea, because they say, 1) Wicket is so easy that you can just add in whatever you want; we don't need to encapsulate this in a class, and 2) there are so many different ways people want to do it, we don't even want to include one or two of them in the Wicket library. I don't want to start that argument here; I'll write an essay about it another day. Looking forward to your essay! ;-) I've shown you three ways to hide an HTML element so far. None of them are good enough for userX because (s)he wants to do that with CSS effects (fadeOut, easeOut, with rotation, with skew, ...) I hope you understand we cannot add all this in the library. It is simple enough so every application developer can write the JS one-liner to accomplish the task. Hint: A clever way would be to set a CSS class to the element you want to hide. This way the designer (the CSS expert) can do all of the above without bothering you (the Java developer) every time the requirement changes. $('#id7').addClass('someClass') For now I'll just hard-code the JavaScript as Martin suggested and get my app working. Thanks again, Martin! Very helpful.
