Elegant! I'd been trying to think of ways to add my own markup ID and piggyback off any render requests that redraw the component to trigger and render the feedback, just using the component markupId will work great!
Instead of setOutputMarkupId(false), I'll detect that to decide to add the ID or not and just remove the ID attribute in the onComponentTag() method. I'll code it up tomorrow. I've got a good feeling about this. Thanks for the help. Also I'll check out the IAjaxRegionMarkupIdProvider. Always good to check out the new interfaces. -Clint On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 5:28 PM, Jeremy Thomerson <jer...@wickettraining.com > wrote: > On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 5:19 PM, Clint Checketts <checke...@gmail.com > >wrote: > > > I have a Visitor that iterates through my forms and adds a Behavior that > > writes out to the Response a <div> and any feedback messages that belong > to > > that component.
