Can't submit JSF using Javascript

I apologize if this is an obvious newbie question.
I have a simple JSF page with a component users can click on to select a number. Using Javascript, I populate a textbox with the number they select, then attempt to submit the form, also using Javascript. But this doesn't work.
The form submits and returns as though the user had submitted without a value in the textbox, and then their number appears in the textbox (it should be empty at this point).
The form works fine if I use Javascript only to set the value in the textbox and require the user to manually press the Submit button.
TIA for any help!

Sorry, this is in the wrong place (and I can't find a way to delete it). Please ignore.

Associating two events with submit button using javascript in jsp

Hi
How can i Associate two events with submit button using javascript in jsp. Firstly it should insert the data to database and secondly it should close the same pop-up window

Have something like :
<input type="submit" name="submitbtn" value="Click me" onClick="function1(); function2(); " />
You just call both functions sequentially, it's that simple. Although using javascript to work with a database, that seems a bit tricky.

Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

Here is one solution:
// mouse up action for submit button;
function GetField(cName) {
// get field object for cName field with error checking;
var oField = this.getField(cName);
if(oField == null) app.alert("Error accessing field named " + cName + "\nPleae verigy field name, spelling and capitalizeation.", 1, 0);
return oField;
} // end GetField function;
var oPhone = GetField("phone");
oPhone.required = oPhone.value == oPhone.defaultValue;
var oEmail = GetField("email");
oEmail.required = oEmail.value == oEmail.defaultValue;
if(oPhone.required && oEmail.required) {
app.alert("Missing required fields.", 1, 0);
} else {
app.alert("Submitting form", 3, 0);
// additional code for submission;

How can I call actionListener using JavaScript

Dear Programmers
I have to use javascript in order to call a specific actionListener when a window is close. Therefor I inserted the following code to the jsp:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onunload = function(){......};
</script>
But how can call a specific actionListener? I saw that I can use submit(), but this method doesn't perform any actionListener. I didn't find where the actionListener is specified after doing "view source" on the browser.
Please help me

Hello,
I think you can do this:
<h:form id="formId">
<h:commandButton id="buttonId" actionListener="..." />
Then you can call:
document.forms.formId['formId:buttonId'].click();
to invoke the action listener. If you don't want to display the commandButton on screen, you may apply a css style to hide it.

No, you can't submit the form like that. You could submit some form data as
a URL parameter, though.

Adobe Reader Submit Button using JavaScript

We have a form that when submitted it needs to use javascript to update the Subject Line of the email message for our workflow process. This process works absolutely great when using Acrobat. However, when sent to someone using Reader (even with JavaScript enabled through preferences) nothing happens when the button is clicked. The form was designed in Acrobat 10 Professional.
Here is the JavaScript we are using...
var wsuid = this.getField ("mywsuid");
var d = new Date();
var month = d.getMonth()+1;
var day = d.getDate();
var year = d.getFullYear();
var today = ((''+month).length<2 ? '0' : '') + month + '/' + ((''+day).length<2 ? '0' : '') + '/' + day + year;
var name = this.getField("name");
var subject = "subject: " + (wsuid.valueAsString) + ":" + (name.valueAsString) + ":" + (today);
this.mailDoc({
    bUI: true,
    cTo: "[email protected]",
    cCc: "",
    cSubject: subject,
Suggestions on getting this to work with Acrobat Reader is much appreciated.

I was able to open the JavaScript debugger in Acrobat Pro. When the document is Reader Enabled, I get the following message:
Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 10.0
Acrobat SOAP 10.0
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.subject:15:Field Submit:Mouse Up
And in Acrobat Pro - I now see Protected View is set to Off.

How can I set CameraRAWOpenOptions using Javascripts in Photoshop CS6?

I have been unable to set CameraRAWOpenOptions in scripts that worked fine for me in Photoshop CS5 but now do not work in Photoshop CS6. There are no error messages when I run the scripts, and they appear to finish okay, but the images come out unadjusted. Below is the essence of how I'm trying to do it. When I run these scripts in Extendscript (CS5 or CS6 does not make a difference), Photoshop CS6 simply uses its own default (saved) settings, but CS5 would allow the overrides. I did change the default settings in CameraRAW in CS6 to use the default lens correction profiles available from the EXIF data, and I'm wondering if that rendered the script unable to change any of the rest of the settings.
Here's how I have the code:
var RawOptions = new CameraRAWOpenOptions;
RawOptions.settings=CameraRAWSettingsType.CUSTOM;
RawOptions.exposure=+2.00;
RawOptions.vignettingAmount = 0;
RawOptions.vignettingMidpoint = 0;
RawOptions.contrast = 50;
RawOptions.saturation = 0;
RawOptions.shadows = 0;
RawOptions.luminanceSmoothing = 0;
var JPGopts = new JPEGSaveOptions;
JPGopts.quality = JPEGquality;
//Perform the loop through the files
app.open(testListing[0], RawOptions, false);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
for (var nfile = nstart; nfile < nstop; nfile++)
    app.open(testListing[nfile], RawOptions, false);
    FnameSave = new File(SavePath+"/"+testListing[nfile].name);
    app.activeDocument.saveAs(FnameSave, JPGopts, false, Extension.UPPERCASE);
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

I would collapse and expand the toolbar windows by using the double arrow icon?
Doing this will almost give you your full screen?
Or you can hit 'Tab' and it hides your tools when you don't need them?

JS -- XML Question - Can I add attributes using Javascript?

I want to add an attribute to an element tag, but I don't see how to do it programmatically. Is it possible? Also, is there a way to name an element tag dynamically? For example:
The way to add a child element is to either use the appendChild method like this:
XMLObject.appendChild(<childElement/>);
XMLObject.childElement= "something";
or just add it like this:
XMLObject.childElement = "something";
Right? (Side Question: Is there a difference between these two methods?).
What I want to do is to either add a dynamic attribute to a statically named child, or to create a dynamically named child.
I haven't been able to figure this out myself. Any ideas?

Maybe have a look at Mozilla's E4X tutorial: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/E4X_Tutorial/
There's no need for eval() here. (There usually isn't.) Use:
XMLObject.appendChild(<{nameReference}/>);
To add an attribute, you can just use:
XMLObject.@new_att = "the value";

Hello,
Please tell us your first name, and change your forum handle to something friendlier than user123… It’s easier for us that way.
>> Can i submit process using ajax?
The server side of AJAX allows you to invoke an APEX on-demand PL/SQL process (which is actually a PL/SQL anonymous block) or any stored procedure on the database.
The following is a good place to start understanding APEX AJAX - http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:63 .

Is it possible to pass the score of the memory game as a variable using javascript?

Hi,
I would like to create a score table for the memory game. For that I need captivate to pass the last sore to a form/page. In the memory game widget there is a variable displayed: memGame_var. Is this really the memory game score, and do you think that I can achieve my goal using javascript?
thank you!
Heloisa

Beware: you have to create a variable, it is not automatically created. And you don't have to use the same name, but in this case for some reason it is not possible to use capitals in the variable name.
Contrary to some other games, this variable will retain the score indeed.

Looking for a way to switch views using Javascript

Hi ! I'm currently studying Acrobat 3D. <br /><br />I've got a PDF document with a 3D Annotation, which was imported from a U3D file.

POST Data Using Javascript

Hi Guys,
I ran into this trouble, basically, what I need is to post data into this url using REST:
www.thissite.com/comment
now it says:
do this with a variable name content, containing "key: value" line by line:
id:
Action: comment
Text: the text comment
now it has a sample on how to do this using java:
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.MultipartRequestEntity;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.Part;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.StringPart;
public class RtTicketCreator {
static final String BASE_URI = "http://www.thissite.com/REST/1.0";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
PostMethod mPost = new PostMethod(BASE_URI + "/1234/comment/");
Part[] parts = { new StringPart("content", "id: 1234\nAction: comment") };
mPost.setRequestEntity(new MultipartRequestEntity(parts, mPost.getParams()));
HttpClient cl = new HttpClient();
cl.executeMethod(mPost);
System.out.println(mPost.getResponseBodyAsString());
Now, my question is: Can I do this using javascript? If yes, could you at least give me an idea how to accomplish this?
Thanks Guys,
Best Regards,
Aaron

Set client var using javascript

i have a form where a user enters a line of info, and i want
to save that as a client variable without having to post the form.
is it possible to set a CF client variable using javascript?

> cookies can be created/edited/deleted using js, so i just
need
> to know how i would go about editing a cf created
cookie using js.
You've inched away from your original question. It was about
how to use Javascript to save form data in Coldfusion without
having to send the form from the browser. The answer is, you can't.
> i used javascripts document.cookie to make changes to the
correct coldfusion
> client variables..works like a charm
You've not changed any Coldfusion variable at all. What
you've simply done is use Javascript to write a new cookie, which
Coldfusion then reads later. To see that, do this test.
Save and run the following code as the page
testCookieJS.cfm
<html>
<head>
<title>testCookieJS</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.cookie="JS test cookie";
</script>
</head>
<body>
Coldfusion cookie struct dump:
<cfdump var="#cookie#">
</body>
</html>
You will find that the "JS cookie" is not dumped. However,
you will find that the cookie is actually present in the browser.
Now, close the browser and delete all cookies. Save and run
the following code as the page
testCookieCF.cfm
<cfcookie name="CFCookieTest" value="CF test cookie">
<cfdump var="#cookie#">
You will find that the "CF cookie" is dumped. The difference
in the result of the two tests shows that one cannot use Javascript
to change the cookie that Coldfusion sets. In fact, generally
speaking, you cannot use Javascript to modify any Coldfusion
variables. If you could, anyone would be able to use an HTML page
to rewrite your Coldfusion site.

Problem using javascript to submit jsf form, values not submitted

Greetings!
I have a t:selectOneMenu where I want the page to be submitted when they change the selected value. At this point, I am able to get the form to submit and reload the page, which is all fine. The problem is that none of the values from the page are not set in the backing bean. I have break points on the setter methods that are not being hit.
I have tried a number of things from searching multiple forums, but here are snippets from my latest version...
<h:form>
<t:commandLink id="hiddenLink" forceId="true" value="test link"
action="#{pc_PageX.doBtnHiddenLinkAction}"></t:commandLink>
<t:selectOneMenu id="pageList_top" forceId="true" value="#{pc_PageX.ValueX}"
     onchange="jspellSync(); submitPageX();">
     <f:selectItems value="#{pc_PageX.ListX}" />
</t:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>
function submitPageX(){
     var hiddenLink = document.getElementById("hiddenLink");
     hiddenLink.click();
}Note that the <t:commandLink> is not hidden, though it will be in the final version if I can get this to work.
If I click the commandLink myself, the page is submitted with all the page values as expected. If I change the list value, thus using javascript to fire the commandLink's click event, the page is submitted with NO values.
Can anyone come up with an explanation for this behavior? Or better yet, a solution?
A couple other things I've tried...
- Not using a commandLink and using jsf's submit function -> onchange="jspellSync(); submit();"
- Clicking the link using other ways -> hiddenLink.fireEvent('onclick');
If all else fails, I'll just add a button that they have to click to submit the form.

I recall this problem in one of the ancient JSF versions. Which JSF version do you use? Do you have any room to upgrade to latest? We're using an IBM implementation of JSF, which is at version 7.0. The IBM implementation appears to be built on the JSF base 1.1.That's not an IBM JSF implementation, they do not have any one, they just have some component libraries which runs on top of some JSF implementation. RAD/WSAD ships by default with Sun JSF RI. Try upgrading to at least 1.1_02 which you can download from the aforementioned link. There's a gap of 2 years (and inherently a lot of bugfixes) compared to 1.1. If the application server used supports Servlet 2.5, you could even upgrade to the latest 1.2.
We've had other issues with the IBM implementation, which could be the cause in this case too. We've been talking about switching to MyFaces, but there is one feature of the IBM version that we like. It's basically a script collector (hx:scriptCollector) that allows us to do pre-processing on the page.As said before, IBM does not have a JSF implementation. So replacing RI by MyFaces wouldn't make any difference.
