What is the difference between ECMA script and Javascript?

Hi Tim!

http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/componentControl.jsf?c=componentControl&tab=usage

Here's a link to the Exadel Live Demo that gives an example of using componentControl to control a modalPanel

I'm gonna get flamed for this I just know it. So don't forget I'm a greenhorn, but this is a friendly place for greenhorns

I take your point that the RichFaces components I"m asking about are JS at bottom. But telling me the operations I can invoke
are the ones the JS class supports doesn't answer my question. I'm asking specifically about the "modalPanel". WHAT operations are there and more importantly where can I look for such information when I have questions about other components?

My question has SOMETHING to do with RichFaces bc I'm not accessing the JS components directly. I'm accessing the RichFaces components directly.

Look: I have a richfaces component "modalPanel"
<rich:modalPanel id="printPanel" . . .>. . .</rich:modalPanel>

I have another richFaces component "componentControl":
<rich:componentControl for="printPanel" attachTo="printLabel" operation="show" event="onclick"/>

I can "show" the RichFaces modalPanel. I can "hide" the RichFaces component modalPanel.

Question: what else can I do with a RichFaces modalPanel from a RichFaces componentControl???

(here's where I'm expecting someone to insert a hilarious flame )
and more importantly: where can I look for that kind of information when I'm working with a different component?

Okay so I guess there is no list that documents the built-ins for the operation= attribute of a rich:componentControl tag
that's controlling a modal

I've been googling for examples and find some things that way. But a documented list of supported operations
for a modal panel would enable everyone to create more freely.

QUESTION: So how do you all find out what else you can do with a modal panel rich:componentControl ???

Hi Tim thanks for your reply!

I'm still not any closer to what I'm looking for though.

Are the built-in "operations" listed/documented on a per component basis
(however incomplete)???

i.e. a list of built-in operations for modalPanel would be very helpful

Thanks!

I"m looking for a list of the built-in javascript functions that I can use in rich:componentControl tag on the operation= attribute.
e.g. <rich:componentControl for="panel" attachTo="link" operation="show" event="onclick"/>

what other JS built-ins are there I can fill in operation with? "hide" . . .

Thank you!
