Activating t:inputText with command link

Question

I have a situation where I will have an outputText for a field say a name, I have a command link name edit which enables the name field in editable mode i.e an inputText, can some one tell me how can I do this? I guess I can use render, I am not sure, any ideas and suggestions?
<htm:tr styleClass="h2">
          <htm:td>
               <h:outputText value="Organization Name Information:" />
          </htm:td>
          <htm:td>
               <t:commandLink id="EditOrgInformation"
                    forceId="true"
                    value="EDIT"
                     action=""
                     onclick="if(submitFlag){return false;}else{submitFlag=true;return true;}" />
          </htm:td>
     </htm:tr>
     <htm:tr styleClass="oddRow">
          <htm:td>
               <h:outputText value="Name:" />
          </htm:td>
          <htm:td>
               <h:outputText value="#{lo.name }" />
          </htm:td>
     </htm:tr>

If you want to do it synshronously, indeed use the rendered attribute. Use its positive outcome in inputText and its negative outcome in outputText. If you want to do it asynchronously, then use Javascript+DHTML or an Ajaxical JSF component library.
