below is my code:
public with sharing class myController {
public String passedInString { get; set; }
public PageReference passedInValue() {
system.debug('Passed in value: '+passedInString);
return null;
}
}
My VF:
<apex:page controller="myController">
<apex:includeScript value="{!URLFOR($Resource.myStatic, '/js/jquery-2.1.1.min.js')}"/>
<p>Click Me!</p>
<button type="button" id="addScnt" onclick="setHidden()">Pass Input</button>
<apex:form id="myForm">
<apex:inputHidden value="{!passedInString}" id="myHiddenField"/>
<apex:actionFunction name="setHidden" action="{!passedInValue}" rerender="myHiddenField"/>
</apex:form>
<script type="text/javascript">
j$ = jQuery.noConflict();
function setHidden() {
var copyOfStr = 'Test string';
document.getElementById('{!$Component.myForm.myHiddenField}').value = (copyOfStr);
}
</script>
</apex:page>
When the button is clicked I expect the javascript function to be run and the value of the hidden input set. Inspecting the log in developer console I was expecting the passedInValue action method in the actionfunction to fire as well showing the debug statement of the passedInString value but that didn't happen.
