Update elements outside of the current form?

[craig]

Hi is it possible to use p:ajax to update elements outside of the form that fires the event?

I have seen some examples via google that say if you prefix the id with the separator ( default ':' ) then it would be updated, but I cannot get this to work

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Why are you using more than one form? it nearly always ends in tears.
It is not as simple as this example but this should be ok for the time being:

Code: Select all

<h:form id="form1">
  <h:outputText id="out1" .../>
</h:form>

<f:ajax render="form1:out1/>

Post your code.
