datatable and selecting a row event

[Alex Burton]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a datagrid as a way to quickly find and select a particular item from a large list of items. The items have several attributes I wish to display and can number in the 100's, so a drop down list isn't the right way to go...

So... I have my datagrid displaying beautifully... but am now stumped on how to throw an even to catch a row selection... I know there are the rowOnClick="_javascript_" attributes in the datagrid, but how do i bind that to something useful?

Anyone have any pointers? Ideally I'd like to get the "forceIdIndexFormula" value (or object it represents in my backing bean).

Thanks in advance,
Alex.
