Summary: Error when submitting an Ajax request for an element
without an ID
Key: MYFACES-4016
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4016
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1.17
Reporter: Leon Steffens
When submitting an Ajax request that was triggered by an element with a name,
but without an ID, a Javascript error will be thrown in the nodeIdOrName()
function in _Dom.js.
The code calls the getElementsByName() function on "this", which throws an
error that getElementsByName() is not defined for "this". It should call
document.getElementsByName(), same as the byIdOrName() function.
251 //last check for uniqueness
252 if (this.getElementsByName(elementId).length > 1) {
253 //no unique element name so we need to perform
254 //a return null to let the caller deal with this
issue
255 return null;
256 }
This was noticed when using the ICEfaces 3.3 data table in their compatibility
component suite, which uses hidden fields without IDs to submit the selection
of rows.
If you want an example that reproduces this error I can create one, but I think
static analysis of the code is sufficient in this case.
The problem is also present in trunk.
