Actually, I tried that and was able to get that working to some extent, but I
actually managed to get it finally to work using AjaxObserveField. Previously
it didn't work when I tabbed out, and now it does. In the first case I had an
AjaxObserveField wrapping all of the textfields, but it did work when I wrapped
each individual field in an AjaxObserveField. Combined with the
AjaxUpdateLink, it worked.
So I ended up with this:
<wo:AjaxUpdateLink action = "$updatePreferredPhoneList"
functionName="updatePreferredPhoneList"
updateContainerID="preferredPhonePopUpContainer" />
<tr>
<td class="dataLabel">* Home Phone</td>
<td class="dataInput"><wo:AjaxObserveField
updateContainerID = "preferredPhonePopUpContainer" fullSubmit="$false"
action="$updatePreferredPhoneList"><wo:WOTextField
value="$homePhone"/></wo:AjaxObserveField></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="dataLabel">Work Phone</td>
<td class="dataInput"><wo:AjaxObserveField
updateContainerID = "preferredPhonePopUpContainer" fullSubmit="$false"
action="$updatePreferredPhoneList"><wo:WOTextField
value="$workPhone"/></wo:AjaxObserveField></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="dataLabel">Mobile Phone</td>
<td class="dataInput"><wo:AjaxObserveField
updateContainerID = "preferredPhonePopUpContainer" fullSubmit="$false"
action="$updatePreferredPhoneList"><wo:WOTextField
value="$cellPhone"/></wo:AjaxObserveField></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="dataLabel">Preferred Phone</td>
<td class="dataInput">
<wo:AjaxUpdateContainer
id="preferredPhonePopUpContainer">
<wo:WOPopUpButton selection =
"$selectedPreferredPhone" list = "$preferredPhoneList" item =
"$preferredPhoneItem" id="preferredPhonePopupID" />
</wo:AjaxUpdateContainer>
</td>
</tr>
