Hi Manfred, thans for forwarding this Going a dynamic javascript route for form alteration, is a huge problem in JSF, you have to bring the tree into sync (some people managed it already, the dynamic ajax data table does it, as well as ajax anywhere).
It is way easier to create a a form from the backend dynamically by influencing the component tree after an event via a simple submit. The perfect example was posted recently by triggering a submit on a value change of a drop down box, which in the end alters the form in the valueChange listener. (the drop down has a javascript handler which does a simple form submit and then the value change in the backend is triggered) I would think twice about doing a dynamic form alteration on the client side, you open a can of worms there which are hard to tame. if you cannot live with a full form refresh, look at ajax anywhere, it might be possible to do it with ajax anywhere to alter the ajaxed part dynamically on the server thus you get a mixed mechanism (have no experiences there, but from what I could gather it looks like you could bend it that way) Altering the forms from pure javascript is a problem anyway, I did that a while ago and ran into myriads of IE related problems, which I spent 90% of my time to workaround. In the end the code was a mess. The IE is somewhat nasty in the DOM tree handling because it mixes windows controls and native controls and meshes probably internally two dom trees and event loops into one.
