inplaceInput - edit() from #{rich:component('firstNamex')}.edit(); - 
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-11751
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11751
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
         Environment: Websphere 8 - RAD 8 - JSF Mojorra 2.1.4 - Spring 3.0.6 Final - Use @Inject @Named @SessionScoped as annotations - Firefox 7.0.1 - Windows 7 (6.1 sp1) - AspectJ 1.6.12 / AJDT 
            Reporter: Jean ANDRE


We want to active the edit mode of an <rich:inplaceImput> mode by clicking on link. Our final goal is to activate all inplaceImput contained inside a form by a single click. In fact, we want to place the form in edit mode versus view mode where the fields are not editable.

 1) The first problem is how to disable an inplaceImput component to avoid a user to edit it. Does the editEvent can be used ???

 2) How to place all inplaceImput field in edit mode by a single click from a link or a command button

Our experimentation shows many problem to get a success and we fail.

In fact, the function #{rich:component('firstNamex')}.edit() where the firsNamex is the id of an inplaceImput trigger a javaScript error such as : 

{code}
RichFaces.$("tabbedForm:firstNamex").edit is not a function
{code}

Then we decided to display by an alert what is the component returned by the call and the alert seems to display list of components instead of the real component to edit !!!??? - The call is as following : onclick="alert(#{rich:component('firstNamex')});"/> and it returns the values below:

{code}
BaseComponent, inputBase, inputBase, inplaceInput
{code}

   PARTIAL CODE
--------------------------
{code}
  <div class="right-align">
           <a4j:commandLink id="#{tab.id}-edit"   value="#{msg['common.command.edit']}" onclick="#{rich:component('firstNamex')}.edit(); alert(#{rich:component('firstNamex')});"/> 
    &#160;|&#160;<a4j:commandLink id="#{tab.id}-save"   value="#{msg['common.command.save']}"/> 
    &#160;|&#160;<a4j:commandLink id="#{tab.id}-cancel" value="#{msg['common.command.cancel']}" /> 
  </div>
  <!--            -->
  <!--  THE FORM  -->
  <!--            -->
  <h:panelGrid columns="2" border="0" columnClasses="no-breakable" cellpadding="5" style="width:100%">
    <h:panelGroup>
      <!--                -->
      <!--  LEFT PANEL    -->
      <!--                -->
      <h:panelGrid columns="2" border="0" columnClasses="no-breakable" cellpadding="5">
      
        <h:outputLabel value="#{msg['client.label.type']}" />
        <h:selectOneListbox id="#{tab.id}-clientType" />

        <h:outputLabel value="#{msg['client.label.firstname']}" />
        <rich:inplaceInput id="firstNamex" value="#{client.firstName}" />
{code}
