Calling the submit() on the form should work. One thing you will have
to be careful about though is that if you are used to using the
javascript getElementById method you may run into some trouble. Do a
search on earlier posts of this thread for "getElementById" and you
will see what I am talking about.
We have a solution for that problem which is a "forceId" attribute.
Currently there is not one for form, but eventually I will add it once
there is some other need to create an extended version of the form tag
for something else.
If you are not using Tiles or dynamic includes, it will be relatively
easy to know the id attribute of the form element so you may just want
to hard-code that into your javascript.
Just out of curiosity, why are you not just making your search button
a <h:commandButton> instead? Seems like that would be much easier ...
