Not during, after the page has finished loading. The useful aspect is this: most cool Ajax-y things people will have made rely on having that AjaxRequestTarget handy (most often in the onClick of a AjaxFallbackLink . There is a small, but real, number of circumstances where you want to do one of those things as soon as the page is done loading, rather than waiting for a user click. (And it would be cleaner to not have to manually call the javascript onClick, but keep it in the Java)
My example, again, is a ModalWindow. Ideally I would have liked an upload button on our "view mode" page take the user to the edit mode page, and then have the edit mode fire off its upload ModalWindow. (the Edit Page already had its own Upload button). Instead, after trying a few things out, I was compelled to give the View Mode page its own Upload dialog, though I exposed what the Edit page was doing to make the window, so there wasn't TOO too much duplication. Then, on the ModalWindows onclose, it called the Edit Page's routine for what to do when the ModalWindow closed, and then jumped to the Edit Page. This made I had to create an instance of the Edit Page earlier than I wanted to... But if I had something like onPageDoneLoading(AjaxRequestTarget pArt) function, I could have used that in Edit Page to check a boolean, and then open up its own Modal Window. Thanks for at least thinking about my issue :-) -Kirk On Nov 17, 2007 1:47 PM, Matej Knopp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No, there is no such thing as having ajax request target during page > load.
