ajax:callout and ajax:htmlContent

[vincent le texier]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to use ajax:callout inside some html code that is displayed on the client-side after an ajax::htmlContent call.
It does not work. The servlet is never called.
any idea ? I am missing something here.
Thanks in advance,
Vincent

Is ajax:callout working at all on your page?

Hello Victor,
Yes ajax:callout works on my page. The problem comes only for the html inside de <div> responding to an ajax:htmlContent call.

I've tested this on ajaxtags-demo.war: added next lines to htmlcontent.jsp:
<input type="button" value="test callout" id="calloutTest" />
<ajax:htmlContent baseUrl="callout.jsp" source="calloutTest" target="modelDescription" parameters="" />
After clicking on button "test callout" sample content with callout tags is loaded into div#modelDescription and all callouts are working fine. So your problem is somewhere else.

What you said works.
but if you add this in the HtmlContentServlet :
html.append("<p><a href=\"javascript://nop/\" class=\"definition\">ArthurDent</a></p>");
and this <ajax:callout baseUrl="callout.view" sourceClass="definition"
        parameters="q={ajaxParameter}" title="Definition" />
in the htmlContent.jsp
Why this does not work ?

[Victor Homyakov]

Either you use <a class="definition">…</a> and ajax:callout together on one JSP, or call AjaxJspTag.reload() each time after you add some content with callouts etc.

This is because ajax:callout knows nothing about anchors, which were loaded by htmlContent AFTER ajax:callout has completed its setup script and was attached to callouts it found on the page.
