Thanks Volker,
I already solved it with a javascript function.
In my application it would be ok to use forceId since I create the page
dynamically and so am able to set a counter on each id.
In any case I am adding a simple js function that allows you to search a
form (for multiple forms it needs some tweaking) and find an id.
For example if you have a JSF created id such as form0:datatable:0:id1
You can use the method to find this object by knowing 'id1' (gets the
first instance of 'id1')
function getFieldByElementName(destName) {
var formElements = document.forms[0].elements;
for(var i=0;i<formElements.length;i++){
var formField = formElements[i].id;
if(formField.indexOf(destName)!=-1){
//alert("this is
it:"+i+";"+formElements[i].id+";"+formElements[i].value);
return formElements[i];
}
}
return null;//if nothing found return null
}
Hope this helps,
Yaron

Subject: Re: problem with forceId
Hi Yaron,
did you realy need forceId? I strongly dissuade from using this!
Imho forceId makes more problems than it solves,
and i dont know a case in which it is realy needed.
Anyway:
inputCalendar.getAttributes().put("forceId", "cal1");
should do it.
