selectManyCheckbox set unique ID

843844Jul 19 2007 — edited Jul 20 2007
Hi everybody,

I have a problem for getting, a specific Checkbox in my page.
I explain me :

I create a list of 20-30 checkbox in my page by using <html:selectManyCheckbox/>

if I write a Id : <html:selectManyCheckbox id="foo"/>

In the generated code I get the attribute name called "foo" but no attribute Id

And I realy need a unique Id for all those checkbox. Is there a way to get it ?

Thx a lot

And I realy need a unique Id for all those checkbox.
Why? Maybe there are other ways.

Yes maybe...

So : when the user click on the checkbox : I run a Javascript who display a div containing a text message.
Also, a request is send to the server, for updating the DB. (use A4j:support)
When the request is done, I delete the message.

Actually this message is display on top of the screen.
But I want it on/near the checkbox I checked/unchecked.

That's it ;)

Which JSF version are you using? I just see the ID's here:

JSF
<h:form id="form">
    <h:selectManyCheckbox id="checkboxes" value="#{myBean.selectedItems}">
        <f:selectItems value="#{myBean.selectItems}" />
    </h:selectManyCheckbox>
</h:form>
which renders
<form id="form" name="form" method="post" action="/TestWebApp/test.jsf" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
    <table id="form:checkboxes">
        <tr>
            <td><input name="form:checkboxes" id="form:checkboxes:0" value="value1" type="checkbox" /><label for="form:checkboxes:0"> label1</label></td>
            <td><input name="form:checkboxes" id="form:checkboxes:1" value="value2" type="checkbox" /><label for="form:checkboxes:1"> label2</label></td>
            <td><input name="form:checkboxes" id="form:checkboxes:2" value="value3" type="checkbox" /><label for="form:checkboxes:2"> label3</label></td>
        </tr>
    </table>

    <input type="hidden" name="javax.faces.ViewState" id="javax.faces.ViewState" value="j_id1:j_id2" />
    <input type="hidden" name="form" value="form" />
</form>

Thats crazy, I do exacty the same but I don't have any Id displayed in the rendered code.
<html:selectManyCheckbox layout="pageDirection" id="races" value="#{settings.selectedRaces}"
            						 onclick="fadeIn(this)" enabledClass="TextBlue" disabledClass="TextBlueDisabled">
              <core:selectItems value="#{settings.allRaces}" />
              <a4j:support event="onchange" action="#{settings.updateRaces}" reRender="races" oncomplete="fadeOut()"/>
            </html:selectManyCheckbox>
and no Id generated....Rrrrr.

Myfaces version : 1.1.5
