Basically, it's the same process that you'd go through for non-JSF pages.

The one difference is that when you use Javascript of JSF pages, the ids of the objects you reference in the javascript code must be the generated HTML IDs and not the JSF "id=" id values. Use your browser's "show source" feature to see the generated ID if you're confused.

Also note that the generated ID is a concatenation of the simple (JSF) id plus the IDs of the naming container(s) that it is nested in. If you didn't give them explicit IDs then they are given synthesized IDs (such as "j_121"). You don't want that because the synthetic ID values can change unpredictably, so always supply an explict id= value for the naming containers.

Naming containers include forms and tables, among other things.
