Hello again,
I'm trying to figure out how, if it's possible to add form elements,
like text fields, when a user clicks an add button without having to
have the page resubmit.
Only by using javascript, but without javascript no.
That is a limit caused by the beast which is called html.
With javascript you can do it by altering the dom
tree.
I understand that, but how do you have JSF pickup the new element(s)
when restoring state when the form is submitted?
To my knowledge by adding child elements to an element binding in
the backend bean.
JSF basically builds an element tree internally, and you basically can
access this tree over various methods. - One being the element bindind
mechanism.
During the rendering phase, the elements then are rendered into the
target (mostly html)
Thus you cann add and remove those elements by tinkering with the
element tree in your backend bean.
