selected value and immediate submits

[Michael Heinen]

Hi,   I asked this question a few months ago but I didn’t get an answer. So I try it again because I have to solve this now.   I have a selectOneMenu and a link beside it. When the user clicks the link I need the selected value in my BackingBean without form validation. The target of the link is an iframe and I don't want that the same page with error messages is rendered in this iframe. Therefore the immediate attribute of the link is set true. I can't use a ValueChangeListener because this is not called with immediate submits, right?   Can I use an updateActionListener and set the selected value via _javascript_ (see snippet and the '???')   Or is the usage of a component binding for the selectOneMenu the only working alternative?     Snippet:                       <t:selectOneMenu id="documentTypeId" forceId="true"      value="#{MyBean.document.attributes['documentTypeId']}">    <f:selectItems value="#{MyBean.scoredCategories['documentType']}"/> </t:selectOneMenu>                         <h:commandLink action="" immediate="true" target="zone1">    <t:updateActionListener property="#{MyBean.selectedDocumentTypeId }" value="????"/>    ... </h:commandLink>   Thanks in advance, Michael
