extendedDataTable resize

Question

Hi All,

I am using richfaces's component extendedDataTable and I need to extend the grid height to show all the rows without using a scroller. To do so I have added a java script method to run on page load. This method aims to resize the grid.

The reason that I couldn't do this in code isI dont know the height of each row as it is not fixed beacuse word wrapping is allowed.

My problem is , When an ajax action occurs and the extendedDataTable rendered the onLoad is not executed again. So How I can execute a javascript method after the completion of an ajax request ?

Thanks

Hi ,

Are you explicitly setting the "height" attribute for the extendedDataTable or for the div that encloses it. Well, I have done a similar kind of application ,in which extendedDataTable size should not exceed some fixed bounds(say 600px X 600px).Similar is case with individual columns, which are of fixed width(say 60px). This I am doing by explicitly setting the "width" property for rich:extendedDatatable and rich:column to fixed dimension. So if the no of rows exceeds,the scroll bar appears. Now I want my data(which is a very very long string) in each cell to be wrapped, and not exceed the given column width(60px), but not able to do that ? Currently, extendedDataTable trims the string for first 60px and puts... after that !! It would be great if you can provide some insight on this.

Instead of trying to listen for the data table being reRendered, wrap the table and your JavaScript in another component, such as an h:panelGroup. Give the h:panelGroup an id and reRender it instead of the rich:dataTable.
