Action Events triggered by JavaScript

[Mooslechner Martin <ma...@siemens.at>]

Hi,

I would like to have my Action Event to be triggered by JavaScript in such a
way that I use the JavaScript form.submit() method to achieve this. However,
if I use this method, I don't have any idea how to tell the Javascript
_which_ button should have been pressed (there is no
name="eventSubmit_doSomething" being sent with the form). But this is
essential to the Action Event Structure!

I also don't know how I could add some kind of extra <input> field with the
appropiate information (i.e. ...name="eventSubmit_doSomething").

Does anyone of you have any ideas on this?

thanks,
Martin

PS. What I'm trying to do is: I have 2 <select> boxes where the one is
dependent from the other; if I change one of them, the possible values in
the other <select> box should change. Now I want the first <select> box
trigger the Action Event, which then changes the context variable for the
second <select> box. Until now I have done this with a seperate button
beside the one <select> box, called "apply". This works. However, it would
be nice to handle this automatically, so the user doesn't have to press
"apply" everytime s/he changes the first <select> box...

Just add the event as a name/value pair in the query data. The value is unimportant. IE:

setAction(myaction).addQueryData("eventSubmit_doSomething", 0)
