How to update component using client side api?

[werdex]

Hi all,
I need to force component update from javascript by using component's widgetVar. However, there are no methods 'update' or 'refresh' in p:inputText. Any ideas?

Hi, I am trying to update a selectOneRadio button by javascript... I want to disable it only in the client side. Is that possible?
I can use jQuery to do this, but the component in the form, that is built by PrimeFaces, doesn't get the effect.

try ith with remoteCommand.

I'd like to use the PrimeFaces client API (PF), but I will try the remoteCommand instead.

Thanks.

Remote command does what you want, it just looks like a server side component. In truth the necessary JavaScript is rendered to the page.
You set the remoteCommand update attribute to the component(s) you want to update after the remoteCommand is executed.
The remoteCommand provides you with a JavaScript function with the same name as set in the remoteCommand name attribute. Call it and the necessary AJAX request(s) will be made to update the component(s) you want.
