The AjaxZone approach only allows one type of JavaScript event to be
co-opted for use by DynaFaces. For example, "I want to co-opt the
'onclick' event for a subset of the HTML elements within this zone to
cause an AJAX transaction to occurr". If you want to co-opt more than
one event type, on different elements, you'll have to use Faces.Event or
Faces.Command directly.
You can use the ajaxZone approach and the Faces.Event/Faces.Command
approach together, by the way. For example, consider your inspectElement
hook.
This hook returns true or false depending on whether or not you want the
element ajaxified per the requirements you have listed as attributes on
your ajaxZone tag. Let's say you're ajaxifying for the "onclick" event
in the ajaxZone tag, but there are some elements you want to ajaxify
for the "ondoubleclick" event. Your inspectElementHook will look
something like this:
function inspectElement(element) {
// Look at element, if it's to be ajaxified with the regular "onclick"
// just return true. Otherwise, see if it's to be ajaxified with
// "ondoubleclick". If so, perform the ajaxification manually, and
// return false.
var options = new Object();
options.render = // client ids to re-render
var c = new Faces.Command(element, "doubleclick", options);
return false;
}
