You can assign or remove a JavaScriptâ„¢ function to a JSF component to serve as an event handler. In this context, an event handler is a JavaScript function that is called when a specific event happens on the page. For example, you can assign a function to a text input field using the onClick event handler. When the field is clicked in the browser, the function defined as the onClick event handler runs.
The JavaScript function used as an event handler must be available to the page, either in a <script> tag on the page itself or in a script file linked to the page. You can not use an EGL function as an event handler for a JSF component.
import com.ibm.egl.jsf.*
text1 HtmlInputText; text1 = myViewRoot.findComponent("form1:text1");
text1.setOnclick("myFunction");
text1.setOnclick("");
