Question

Making p:commandButton work like h:button

Answer 1

+1 A:

Use p:linkButton.

Update: as per your update with the code example, the URL should be specified in href attribute, not in the url attribtue. Also see the component's documentation which I linked here above.

The symptoms at least sounds like as if you're firing an asynchronous (Ajax) GET request, not a synchronous one. FireBug would then indeed give this kind of error when the request is fired on a different domain.

Don't you have some other Javascripts which are disturbing/colliding with the linkButton's default behaviour? The button is navigating by a simple onclick="window.location=newurl;".

Update 2: does it work if you test it standalone in a simple page? E.g.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3c.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui"&gt;
    <h:head>
        <title>Test</title>
    </h:head>
    <h:body>
        <p:linkButton value="test" href="http://stackoverflow.com" />
    </h:body>
</html>

I did try p:linkButton, but it doesn't work. Firebug says the GET request is aborted, and the current page is POSTed again.

Sorry, I didn't do a full copy/paste. I am using the "href" attribute, "url" isn't even accepted by Netbeans. I will now check for other javascript...

Woohoo! I use p:dataTable on the original page. I inserted the same table on the empty page, and the problem appeared... no custom javascript... so p:dataTable is not compatible with p:linkButton?

As to your screenshot, you're viewing it in `All` tab. What kind of request is the GET request? `HTML` (normal) or `XHR` (ajax)?

Hi,

In PrimeFaces 2.2., we'll deprecate linkButton and introduce p:button. Issue ticket;

Ah, nice. Can you explain the particular problem in detail anyway?

BalusC 2010-07-26 22:30:56

OK, so I will stick to h:button without images for now. Thank you BalusC for your time and effort, and of course Cagatay for the answer ;-)

Gabor Kulcsar 2010-07-27 06:58:43

Here is new p:button;http://www.primefaces.org:8080/prime-showcase-labs/ui/button.jsf
