Call javascript function using parameters cause a immediate execute at load

Question

Hello.
I recognized a strange behavior if I try to use parameters to javascript in af:clientListener method property.
Using syntax <af:commandButton text="Init" id="cb1"
   partialSubmit="true">
   <af:clientListener method="OnInitControl1" type="click"/>
</af:commandButton> and javascript function OnInitControl1() {
  alert('OnInitControl1 called');
} the method OnInitControl1 is called first with the click of the button.
But with the syntax <af:commandButton text="Init" id="cb1"
   partialSubmit="true">
   <af:clientListener method="InitCtrl('Control1')" type="click"/>
</af:commandButton> and javascript function InitCtrl(frameName) {
  alert('InitCtrl(' + frameName + ') called');
}the function InitCtrl is called immediate at load of the page.
In both cases the javascript file is inserted in af:document using<af:resource type="javascript" source="/ScriptHelper.js"/>Is my syntax for "method" property of the af:clientListener wrong?
Paul.

Hi,
I am using Oracle JDeveloer version 11.1.1.0.2. I have gone through your discussion. Since i am new to ADF, just wanted to request you to share the code related to <af:resource type="javascript" source="/ScriptHelper.js"/>. Also, the Tag included for the same. In my Environment, if i use <af:resource, it shows, "element af: resource is not expected".
My requirement is similar to your as you explained in details. I need to push all the client side validation to Javascript file and need to call in the ADF pages wherever it is required (re-usable). Also, is there any specific formate for JS file to be maintained from the point of view of ADF calling the JS file.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
