All Implemented Interfaces:

IAjaxElement

public class AjaxUpdateLink
extends AjaxDynamicElement

Updates a region on the screen by creating a request to an action, then returning a script that in turn creates an Ajax.Updater for the area. If you do not provide an action binding, it will just update the specified area.

Bindings

action	the action to call when the link executes
directActionName	the direct action to call when link executes
onLoading	JavaScript function to evaluate when the request begins
onComplete	JavaScript function to evaluate when the request has finished.
onSuccess	JavaScript function to evaluate when the request was successful.
onFailure	JavaScript function to evaluate when the request has failed.
onException	JavaScript function to evaluate when the request had errors.
evalScripts	boolean defining if the container update is expected to be a script.
ignoreActionResponse	boolean defining if the action's response should be thrown away (useful when the same action has both Ajax and plain links)
onClickBefore	if the given function returns true, the onClick is executed. This is to support confirm(..) dialogs.
onClick	JS function, called after the click on the client
onClickServer	JS returned from the server after the update
updateContainerID	the id of the AjaxUpdateContainer to update after performing this action
replaceID	the ID of the div (or other html element) whose contents will be replaced with the results of this action
title	title of the link
style	css style of the link
class	css class of the link
id	id of the link
disabled	boolean defining if the link renders the tag
string	string to get preprended to the contained elements
function	a custom function to call that takes a single parameter that is the action url
elementName	the element name to use (defaults to "a")
functionName	if set, the link becomes a javascript function
button	if true, this is rendered as a javascript button
asynchronous	boolean defining if the update request is sent asynchronously or synchronously, defaults to true
accesskey	hot key that should trigger the link (optional) // PROTOTYPE EFFECTS
effect	synonym of afterEffect except it always applies to updateContainerID
effectDuration	the duration of the effect to apply before // PROTOTYPE EFFECTS
beforeEffect	the Scriptaculous effect to apply onSuccess ("highlight", "slideIn", "blindDown", etc);
beforeEffectID	the ID of the container to apply the "before" effect to (blank = try nearest container, then try updateContainerID)
beforeEffectDuration	the duration of the effect to apply before // PROTOTYPE EFFECTS
afterEffect	the Scriptaculous effect to apply onSuccess ("highlight", "slideIn", "blindDown", etc);
afterEffectID	the ID of the container to apply the "after" effect to (blank = try nearest container, then try updateContainerID)
afterEffectDuration	the duration of the effect to apply before // PROTOTYPE EFFECTS
insertion	JavaScript function to evaluate when the update takes place (or effect shortcuts like "Effect.blind", or "Effect.BlindUp")
insertionDuration	the duration of the before and after insertion animation (if using insertion)
beforeInsertionDuration	the duration of the before insertion animation (if using insertion)
afterInsertionDuration	the duration of the after insertion animation (if using insertion)
