Add a rich:jquery function in EL to call a jQuery object from a JSF id ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-12328 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12328 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component Environment: All Reporter: Paul Dijou Assignee: Lukáš Fryč Priority: Minor Labels: jquery Fix For: 4.3.0.Milestone1 Currently, if you want to retrieve a jQuery object from a JSF id, you need to write something like : {code:xml} $('##{rich:clientId('your-id')}') {code} And that's no even true because the moment you have nested components, there will probably have ":" separators, but that's a selector caracter in jQuery selectors, so it doesn't work. It would be great to have a shorcut like : {code:xml} #{rich:jquery('your-id']} {code} which is more clear and take care of ":" caracters. (please, assign me the issue, I've already written the patch)
