Re: Submit Button Outside Form

[Michał Małecki]

I think using js with outputLink would be the best approach. Just 
remember that jsf can sometimes play with names and ids of the html 
elements (but I think the name of the form should be same as id of the 
h:form)

Is it possible to create a form submit button (with htmlCommandLink or 
whatever) outside the scope of the <h:form> that is submits. Sounds 
crazy I know but consider this scenario...

We have a Tiles application. In this Tiles application there is a 
"navigation" tile on the left and a "content" tile on the right. The 
navigation tile has action links that are related to the current view in 
the content tile. Sometimes an action link in the navigation tile will 
submit a form that is defined in the content tile. In the current 
Struts/Tiles/JSP implementation this easily achieved through some simple 
JavaScript onclick stuff. How can this same approach be implemented in 
JSF?  I thought about just continuing down the JavaScript road but I 
wasn't sure what pitfalls I might run into.

Thanks,
