problem with partial update..

Hi,

Here´s the scenario:

I have an xpage with a 2 column layout. Left column is a panel containing a view component.
Right column is a panel containing a tab panel with 5 tabs.
On tab 3 there´s a button which opens a dialogbox. The dialogbox has some input fields and a Save button.

The Save button executes some SSJS (which works fine) + a Partial update of the view id.
This however result in an Exception: Invalid component id navigationPanel for partial refresh

If I change the Partial update to a Full update it doesn´t fail, but the update is not working as expected.

When the Save button is clicked, nothing happens. But when I click on another tab in the tab panel the update is triggered..

So, can anyone tell me how to get around this problem of mine ? What I would like is ofcourse to do the partial update only.

But a full update is also ok as long as I don´t have to click on another tab to trigger it..

BTW how can I switch tab using JS ? (SSJS or CSJS)

Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks !

regards,

Petter

Re: problem with partial update..

In terms of performance, look and functionality, I have started using the DojoTabContainer. This allows for you to set a default tab on load, make a tab closable and (what you were asking for) programatically selectable.

This can be done using CSJS and works really well.

var side = dijit.byId("<id of tab container>");

side.selectChild("<id of tab>");
