Derek Patrick Daya Count number of Characters on a textarea field on Visualforce Page when rendered stops working
Hi Everyone,
I am currently facing an issue on a VF page I've created which uses a Javascript to count number of characters on a inputtextarea as users type in. This works very well but with the new requirements to improve the VF page wherein there has to be different character limit per country I was force to use render function. Before the section where the textarea field is located the counter works well but right after it gets rerendered the javascript stopped working.
I've inspected the page before the render and after the render, and this part of the code went missing after rerendering.
<div class="jqEasyCounterMsg" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: right; width: 600px; opacity: 0;">Characters: 0/210</div>
Thank you in advance for any inputs!
The concept of rerendering is to re construct the whole section based on new data supplied to page. In this case the javascript written outside that rendered section scope will not work as it loses control on that section after rerendering. So just keep your javascript code inside that rendered block then it will work as expected after rerendering as well.
