Hi can anyone tell me whats wrong with this:
I have select menu in my jsp as follows:
<select name="selectRowCount" size="1"  onchange="document.forms['search'].submit()" >
     <option value="/devices/search.faces?rowsPerPage=5">5</option>
     <option value="/devices/search.faces?rowsPerPage=10">10</option>
     <option value="/devices/search.faces?rowsPerPage=25">25</option>
     <option value="/devices/search.faces?rowsPerPage=50">50</option>
     <option value="/devices/search.faces?rowsPerPage=0" selected="selected">All</option>
</select>and in the backing bean i have:
public int getRowsPerPage(){
    return rowsPerPage;
public void setRowsPerPage( int rowsPerPage ){
    this.rowsPerPage = rowsPerPage;}what am i missing. i just need to set the value i select into the backing bean

Answer 1

Lets say you select "10"
The javascript event submits the form with the following parameter:
selectRowCount = "/devices/search.faces?rowsPerPage=10"
It doesn't go to the url in the value specified (unless you do something with that parameter elsewhere)
What URL is the form submitting to?
What I think it should be is:
<select name="rowsPerPage" size="1"  onchange="document.forms['search'].submit()" >
     <option value="5">5</option>
     <option value="10">10</option>
     <option value="25">25</option>
     <option value="50">50</option>
     <option value="0" selected="selected">All</option>
</select>
