Hi!
I can give you an example of how I use javascript to do a "click" on a button.
:)
You must remember that if your form id is "myForm", and the button's id is
"myButton", the correct name of the button (element) in javascript is
"myForm:myButton"
(This changes is you use the tomahawk components and set the forceId to true)
An example of a "generic" function in javascript:
function clickButton(formName, elementId)
{
var elementToGet = formName + ":" + elementId;
var form = document.forms[formName];
var button = form.elements[elementToGet];
button.click();
}
Hope this leads you in the right direction at least :)
Regards,
Eivind

Subject: How to submit a form using javascript
I'm trying to integrate some components form Jack Slocum's yui-ext project [1],
but have run into a problem in trying to submit a form or link in my JSF code
from javascript. The details are posted at [2]. The current information on
MyFaces wiki at [3] has not helped (see the clickLink javascript function used
with a hidden link at the bottom of the page); I'm not sure why, but I'm
wondering if it has something to do with the scope of the function and the way
it tries to access dom elements. The first couple examples show how to call
javascript from within a commandButton or commandLink, but I'm interested in
doing the reverse-using javascript to execute a button or link. If anyone
could offer some insight, it would be greatly appreciated.
Tim
