Javascript to JSF

Question

Hi,
I am new to develop web application and this is my
first time to use JSF and JavaScript. Currently I am
developing a web application by using JSF. Meanwhile,
i would like to use javascript for the popup calendar for user to
input the date.
This is the input box of JSF page which i would like
to get the endDate from the javaScript but i have no
idea on how to get the value from the popup window.
<h:inputText styleClass="inputText" id="text3"
value="#{requestScope.endDate}"
onclick="cal1xx.select(document.forms[0].date1xx,'anchor1xx','MM/dd/yyyy');
return false;"  >
</h:inputText>Below is the html code which can create a popup window
and let user choose a date and put into the input box.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" ID="jscal1x">
var cal1x = new CalendarPopup("testdiv1");
</SCRIPT>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="date1x" VALUE="" SIZE=25>
<A HREF="#" onClick="cal1x.select(document.forms[0].date1x,'anchor1x','MM/dd/yyyy'); return false;"  NAME="anchor1x" ID="anchor1x">select</A>The anchor tag MUST contain both NAME and ID attributes which are the
same. For example:
<A NAME="test" ID="test"> </A>However, in jsf page <h:inputText ></h:inputText> it
does not allow me to use the tag NAME. Or does it have
other way to get the anchor?
Thanks in advance for your help. Hope to hear from you
soon.

Answer 1

thanks for your clue, but i fail to solve the problem after trying out few times.
The problem for me is want to get the data which generated from JS to a JSF page. The JavaScript using anchor and after that point to the NAME which is in the HTML INPUT tag
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="cal1xx" VALUE="" >
<A HREF="#" onClick="cal1x.select(document.forms[0].cal1xx,'anchor1x','MM/dd/yyyy'); return false;"  NAME="anchor1x" ID="anchor1x">select</A>the onClick command there will point the cal1xx to the INPUT there.
But if i put the id of the <h:inputText id="endDate"> into the onClick="cal1x.select(document.forms[0].endDate,'anchor........
it will not works anymore.
Emm... do you have some idea on creating a popup calendar by using JSP? or JSF?
thx
