How can I set variable in backing bean directly from jspx page?

[Tomas Pytlik]

Hi,

I have DataTable and PanelGrid in all cells of this table. When I click, PanelGrid change his color and that way i highlight one cell of my table.

Example follows:

 
<h:dataTable value="#{MyCalendarBean2.year}"
       var="item"
       binding="#{backing_index.calendarTable}"
       id="calendarTable">
                                             
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
           <h:outputText value="Po"/>
 </f:facet>
 
 <h:panelGrid columns="1"  
              bgcolor="#{item.days[1].color}"
              binding="#{backing_index.panelGrid1}"
              on click='this.bgColor="#{backing_index.strColor}";'>
                
                 <h:outputText value="#{item.days[1].dayNumber}"/>
 </h:panelGrid>
</h:column>
 
... here goes many others columns just like first one ...
 
</h:dataTable> 
                                               
 

Now to my problem: I need save value of strColor into item.days[1].color when i click. Can anyone help me?


Thanks,

Marshall, please check your private messages.

Pass it as a hidden input value to the server side. You can use h:inputHidden and some piece of JS for this.

[Tomas Pytlik]

You obviously can't

Tomas, have you tried the suggestion? What part are you stuck on?

[Tomas Pytlik]

I was traying to wrote InputHidden, but I'm not sure how. Paul said, pass IT as a hiden input, but what IT is exactly?

I understand, that InputHidden is good for storing value. But how it help in my case?

I know, I'm foolish and I'm sorry I need big kick before my light turns on.

I think Bauke was suggesting that you store the the value of strColor into a h:inputHidden field and then pull it out.

It works! Thank you, everybody!
