After exploring a little further, I discovered the below thread on invoking javascript from within Tapestry.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27988473/pass-parameter-from-java-to-js-in-tapestry Joost writes: You will need to use the JavaScriptSupport service. Your java file: @Import(library = "RoomManagement.js") public final class RoomManagement{ @Inject private JavaScriptSupport javascriptSupport; @Property private long contactId; @AfterRender private void setup() { JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(); jsonObject.put("contactId", contactId); javascriptSupport.addInitializerCall("RoomManagement",jsonObject); } } Your RoomManagement.js Tapestry.Initializer.RoomManagement = function (parameters) { //do whatever you need here alert('Your contactId: ' + parameters.contactId); }; This looks promising, but I later read that Tapestry's handling of javascript has been completely rewritten in Tapestry 5.4, with the above being deprecated. And I've not found any example code of doing tnings the new way. Any pointers would be much appreciated. My page contains 10 expand/collapse buttons, and I only wish to animate the one connected to the zone being updated. So am thinking of giving each button a unique ID, and passing that ID to the javascript so just the one button animates. My needs are pretty straight forward, and reportedly Tapestry's javascript handling was completely rewritten in 5.4 to simplify things. Look forward to seeing how things now get done. :-) Appreciate any help.
