Button do not work jsf [duplicate] - jsf

Question

I am trying to implement jQuery with PrimeFaces and JSF components, but it's not working properly. When I tried to do the same with HTML tags it;s working properly.
Here is the code with HTML tags which works properly with jQuery:
<input type="checkbox" id="check2"></input>
<h:outputText value="Check the box, if your permanent address is as same as current address."></h:outputText>
<h:message for="checkbox" style="color:red" />
with
$("#check2").change(function() {
if ($("#check2").is(":checked")) {
$("#p2").hide();
} else {
$("#p2").show();
}
});
Here is the code with PrimeFaces/JSF which doesn't work properly with jQuery:
<p:selectManyCheckbox >
<f:selectItem itemLabel="1" value="one" id="rad" ></f:selectItem>
</p:selectManyCheckbox>
with
$("#rad").change(function() {
if ($("#rad:checked").val() == "one") {
$("#p2").hide();
} else {
$("#p2").show();
}
});

You should realize that jQuery works with the HTML DOM tree in the client side. jQuery doesn't work directly on JSF components as you've written in the JSF source code, but jQuery works directly with the HTML DOM tree which is generated by those JSF components. You need to open the page in webbrowser and rightclick and then View Source. You'll see that JSF prepends the ID of the generated HTML input elements with the IDs of all parent NamingContainer components (such as <h:form>, <h:dataTable>, etc) with : as default separator character. So for example
<h:form id="foo">
<p:selectManyCheckbox id="bar" />
...
will end up in generated HTML as
<form id="foo" name="foo">
<input type="checkbox" id="foo:bar" name="foo:bar" />
...
You need to select elements by exactly that ID instead. The : is however a special character in CSS identifiers representing a pseudo selector. To select an element with a : in the ID using CSS selectors in jQuery, you need to either escape it by backslash or to use the [id=...] attribute selector or just use the old getElementById():
var $element1 = $("#foo\\:bar");
// or
var $element2 = $("[id='foo:bar']");
// or
var $element3 = $(document.getElementById("foo:bar"));
If you see an autogenerated j_idXXX part in the ID where XXX represents an incremental number, then you must give the particular component a fixed ID, because the incremental number is dynamic and is subject to changes depending on component's physical position in the tree.
As an alternative, you can also just use a class name:
<x:someInputComponent styleClass="someClassName" />
which ends up in HTML as
<input type="..." class="someClassName" />
so that you can get it as
var $elements = $(".someClassName");
This allows for better abstraction and reusability. Surely those kind of elements are not unique. Only the main layout elements like header, menu, content and footer are really unique, but they are in turn usually not in a NamingContainer already.
As again another alternative, you could just pass the HTML DOM element itself into the function:
<x:someComponent onclick="someFunction(this)" />
function someFunction(element) {
var $element = $(element);
// ...
}

You also can use the jQuery "Attribute Contains Selector" (here is the url http://api.jquery.com/attribute-contains-selector/)
For example If you have a
<p:spinner id="quantity" value="#{toBuyBean.quantityToAdd}" min="0"/>
and you want to do something on its object you can select it with
jQuery('input[id*="quantity"]')
and if you want to print its value you can do this
alert(jQuery('input[id*="quantity"]').val());
In order to know the real html tag of the element you can always look at the real html element (in this case spinner was translated into input) using firebug or ie developer tools or view source...

If you're using RichFaces you can check rich:jQuery comonent. It allows you to specify server side id for jQuery component. For example, you have component with specified server id, then you can apply any jQuery related stuff to in next way:
<rich:jQuery selector="#<server-side-component-id>" query="find('.some-child').removeProp('style')"/>
For more info, please check doumentation.
Hope it helps.
