DataTable - RowOnclick other options ?

[sunil m <sm...@neom.com>]

Hi,

In my DataTable i want the user to click anywhere on the Row and execute the
JSF action. So for that I am using the attribute, 'rowOnClick' in the
Datatable and using the Javascript below to submit the Form,

document.forms['FormName'].elements['FormName:_link_hidden_'].value='FormName:dataTable:0:commandLink'

I am using version 1.4 snapshot. Prior to this i mean in version 1.1 the
commandLink Id was 'FormName:dataTable_0:commandLink' and now it has changed
to 'FormName:dataTable:0:commandLink'.  i.e. replaced '_' with a ':' .

Is there any other way to Submit a JSF form for an action to be executed by
the CommandLink ? Because I don't want to be dependent on JSF internal way
of handling 
commmandLinks.

Any input would be of great help !

Thanks,
Sunil M

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your quick response...

Yes I do have a Hidden 'CommandLink' in one of my columns as below,
<h:commandLink immediate="true" id="link" action="#{Bean.actionSelect}"
type="hidden" />

then I use the following javascript to  Force Submit the action of the
command link using,
document.forms['FormName'].elements['FormName:_link_hidden_'].value='FormName:dataTable:0:link'
document.forms[FormName].submit();

Because this way we are dependent on the way JSF creates ID for the
components and if ID creation logic changes with Upgrades then it will Break
the application.

So is this the Standard & proper way to do that or do we have any other way
to handle this situation ?
I wanted to ensure that I am following the norm. Hopefully you could advise
me on whats the best practice ?

Thanks,
Sunil

Create a non-displayed, non-visible command-link component in one of
your columns and force it to submit.
