The insertAttribute tag allows you to have a body as well as specify a default value, but both values are scriptless , i.e., scriptlet is not allowed in body:
<tiles:insertAttribute name="javascript">

And, <put-attribute> in tiles definition does not replace the body of <tiles:insertAttribute> , it appends to the body!

You can submit a form via Ajax by the jQuery Form Plugin . There are two main methods:
ajaxForm : prepares a form for Ajax submit.
Example:
$('#myFormId').ajaxForm({
target: ...
When the form is submitted, it is sent via Ajax.
ajaxSubmit : submit a form via Ajax.
Example:
$('#myForm2').submit(function() {
// i...

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" ...

Some innocent looking JavaScript may cause a fatal error in a Facelet page. For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
if (items.lengt...
or
<script type="text/javascript">
// jQuery code ...
Because Facelet is strict XML, therefore, < and > must be escaped.
There are several ways to deal with this:
Do not embed JS code directly in the page. Put the code in .js files and include it in the page with the src attribute.
Put JS code in a CDATA section:
<h:outputScript target="head">
<![CDATA...
Use XML entities:
<script type="text/javascript">

For JavaScript in the <script> block or JavaScript included with a src attribute: nothing more is needed than escaping the single quote or double quote - depending on how the JavaScript string is quoted.
Example:
var a = 'My name is <?php echo str_replace('\'', '...

If you are looking for a solution for a progress bar, I direct you to the following resources: Bare Naked App provides a simple and elegant solution based on pure CSS with two images. You control the percentage of completion through the background-position attribute of the CSS. HTML:
<img src="/images/percentImage.png" alt="... CSS: img.percentImage { background: white url(/imag... Images: (percentImage.png) (percentImage_back.png) WebAppers extended the above solution with JavaScript. They also added several colored images: JQuery UI has a built-in progress bar widget. However, if you want to get to understand some of the foobar needed to get CSS to work (in general) through this example, stay with me for the rest of this note. Initially I was thinking, a progress bar should be easy: just make...

In the following HTML code, I attached an inline handler to the text field input and added two event handlers with addEventListener / attachEvent . Both IE and Firefox called the inline handler first. But the order in which the added event handlers were called are different between IE and Firefox (IE calls attached_click2 first). Further, if I add the same event handler multiple times, IE calls the handler the same number of times. But Firefox only calls the same handler once, no matter how many times it was added.
<html> <body> <form> Input: <input type="... You can attach an event handler to an HTML element either inline , with JavaScript , or by calling addEventListener (DOM level 2), or attachEvent (IE specific). When you...

The jQuery doc says: If you wish to use any of the meta-characters (such as !"#$%&'()*+,./:;?@[\]^`{|}~ ) as a literal part of a name, you must escape the character with two backslashes: \\ . So what are these meta-characters ? According to the CSS specification : In CSS, identifiers (including element names, classes, and IDs in selectors) can contain only the characters [a-zA-Z0-9] and ISO 10646 characters U+00A0 and higher, plus the hyphen (-) and the underscore (_); These meta-characters are the printable characters in the ASCII but outside the range allowed by CSS identifiers. They must be escaped, with two backslashes. Why two backslashes? Because one backslash is consumed by JavaScript, and with only one backslash in place, no backslash is passed to jQuery...
