Hi!
This has been annoying me all day, and I can't get it to work It is really
driving me nuts!
Basicly this simple webapp created to illustrate my problem, renders five
buttons, and adds a handler to the click event. When a button is clicked,
the background-color is set to blue.
Try running the page, and clicking the "Do stuff and update controls
again"-button. Now click one of the test-buttons. Notice the click-event
does not fire, the button is not made blue. Click a test-button again, and
notice now the event is firing.
Now try clicking the "Do stuff and do NOT update controls"-button. Then
click the test-buttons. Notice how the events fire nicely!
I am sure this is not a bug, I think it is simply a matter of me not
understanding the flow of the page-events somehow, but I am stuck and would
really appreciate any help.
The demo-app in itself does not make sense, but I think it is the easiest
way to illustrate my problem. In my real-life app, the buttons are rendered
one for each row in an databasetable, and the buttons remove an item from
the databasetable on click. Therefore, when I click a button (testX in the
example) to remove an item, I need to re-render all the buttons, because one
of them has now been removed.
How do I make this work?
Thanks in advance
