Executing Javascript AFTER the action in Backing Bean

Question

I have a commandButton on my JSP which is bound to a method in my backing bean by the action attribute. However, I also have a Javascript function call in onClick. But, the Javascript function call is always executed first and then my action method is executed. Is there a way to execute the action method first and THEN the Javascript call? I simply just want to popup a message that says 'Save successful' or something to that effect.

Answer 1

put a onload on your body.
The javascript function reads a form value and if a certain condition is true you show the alert.
For example, i've this to clean up error messages. (JavaScript)
// Cleans the application error messages if there are jsf errors
function cleanErrorMessages(){
    if(document.getElementById('form1:jsfErrorMessages') != null){
        document.getElementById('form1:applicationErrorMessages').innerText='';
}
