Hello,
I'm working on the front end for a JSF app, and I'm trying to add some
interactivitiy to the interface via javascript. Typically you do a lot
of:
document.getElementById ('someId').etc ()
But I find that setting the id in JSF usually results in something
like id="content:_id35:nameHelp". I'm not sure how these ids are
assigned, and I'm not sure how I can predict what id an element will
have in order to acess it via javascript (or css for that matter, but
that's another rant). Are there accepted methods of getting around
this?
the ids usually are assigned by nesting hierarchy, if you use the ids
explicitely you basically get the nested elements divided by :
ie.:
view id="viewid"
form id="myform"
element id="element"
results in an id for the element of viewid:myform:element
however myfaces has something much easier in the tomahawk components,
you can use the forceid attribute then with following
element id="element" forceid="true" you get an exact form id of element
for your element
