jQuery find h:selectOneMenu component

[Joe Shannow]

Hello,

how can I find the JSF <h:selectOneMenu> component using by jquery methods?
I can find <h:inputText styleClass="input"> only:

var inputs = $(this).parents("form").eq(0).find(".input");

Any advice? Thank you

Joe, can you avoid posting the same message more than once? Thanks. Just pick what you think is the most appropriate forum and stick with it. Otherwise we might get people trying to help you out duplicating work that's already been done.

I'm unlocking this as it is the more appropriate forum for this question. And I am locking the JSF thread. And yes, please do NOT post the same question more than once.

There is more than one way:

var inputs = $(this).parents("form").eq(0).find("select");

Also, JSF should give all your element an ID that you could use to find it. You might just need to inspect the source. I know that JSF prefixes ID's with junk. Just don't remember what that junk is. Also, you could simply give your SELECT element a class, and reference it that way.

Sorry, I wasn't sure where to put it, thanks

I've tried

var inputs = $(this).parents("form").eq(0).find("select");

but it doesn't work.

I've add those components styleClass="input"

<h:inputText id="worker" value="#{bean.worker}" styleClass="input">
<h:selectOneMenu id="delay" value="#{bean.delay}" styleClass="input">

but my jQuery method to redirect ENTER to TAB key doesn't focus to selectOneMenu (when it step on it) and instead of focus it submits the button

$('*').live("keydown", function(e) {
  if (e.keyCode == 13 || e.keyCode == 9) {
	var inputs = $(this).parents("form").eq(0).find(".input");
  	var idx = inputs.index(this);
  	inputs[idx + 1].select();
    return false;
  }
});

I'm going to respectfully disagree with Gregg and move this to the JSF forum. Examples with JSF markup will only makes sense to the JSF-savvy and to no one else.
