Emulation of the action link being clicked
I was looking at the sample application in
http://www.jsftutorials.net/interface/jsf-popup.html.
In it, the author has this form:
<h:form id="placeList">
<h:commandLink id="find" action="showPlace" value=""/>
</h:form>
He has some Javascript that essentially sets the value of the command
link equal to its id before submitting the form, also through
javascript:
form['placeList:find'].value = 'placeList:find';
with a comment that states "This is an emulation of the action link
being clicked."
Where is this fact documented? I tried looking for it in the spec but
couldn't find it.
thanks,
Hubert

I use another method. Using CSS, I add a hidden link, then using
javascript, I invoke a mouse click event on the link to cause it to
submit. It behaves just as if the user clicked the link. I posted the
code on a past thread.
