JQuery: How to get the value updated in a javascript file

[May TVIVY]

Hi, I have a inputBox in the xhtml page like this
<h:inputText id="id" value="#{bean.value}">.
I use Firefox browser, enter the value. Its value will be updated in a javascript file by using jquery like this jquery(this).val("test"); The test value should be shown on the browser but i didn't see.
Thanks a lot for any help.

hi, remember how to get a id of a component in jsf: subview:form:component

in javascript code of your browser you can see the component id

example:
<f:subview id="prueba">
<h:form id="formulario">
<h:inputtext id="text" value=#{myBean.value}/>
</f:subview>
</h:form>

I do something like this:

javascript:

var idObject=document.getElementById('prueba:formulario:text');

$(idObject).attr('value','myvalue');

good luck.
sorry my bad english.

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

This is much more about jQuery and JavaScript than JSF, so I've moved it to the appropriate forum.

jquery is not valid. It should be jQuery or $.

And, without knowing what "this" is, we cannot diagnose this. If the value of the element is not being updated, most likely "this" is not referring to the element that you think it is.
