Thanks for the info. Checking the client-side generated ids was actually the first thing I tried, and for some reason, it's still not working as expected. That could very well be a problem with my javascript, and I won't ask anyone to debug that for me -- I'll take care of it :) My only problem now is how to check the "checked" status of the boolean checkbox from within the script.

He's right. If you use the right client-side id, it should work. However, client ids in JSF can get real messy. I would highly recommend the other ways. (to skin the cat - it makes some great soup!) For example, you can use the "disabled" and "rendered" attributes on JSF components to control their status. If you do not want to submit the entire form, there are several ways around that: e.g. s:subForm or AJAX frameworks like Ajax4jsf. But if you're determined to stick with quick & dirty (hey so was I, when I first started using JSF), you will need to be aware of those client ids.

Your javascript will probably work just fine if you a) pass the real id (effectively the client id on the JSF side), or b) iterate through the controls looking for a control with the id that ends with your logically-assigned id.
