Re: [Trinidad] how PPR response is applied to DOM

[Renzo Tomaselli]

Thanks both of you. I still have one doubt, though: using a placeholder as a page component provides both a DOM id to replace and a component to provide contents for replacement. However this game works just once: as soon as the placeholder is filled in with true contents from PPR, it's lost forever. While I can certainly create a new placeholder by js for a future PPR addition, there wouldn't be any associated component on the server side. In other words - an adding PPR response will fill the old placeholder without providing a new one. How can I force such a new component creation for the next cycle ? I'm afraid I miss the overall picture involving PPR restore-view and PPR rendering to solve this puzzle. -- Renzo Andrew Robinson wrote: Should have been partialTriggers.
