Hi, you can use Ajax.Request of Prototype for it.
Create a Action Link for register the method and call this method by Ajax. Example: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Page Class/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// @Property private String url; /** * Register the action Link */ void preRender() { Link link = recursosComponente.createActionLink("firstTextField", false, new Object[0]); url = link.toAbsoluteURI(); } /* * Action Link Event */ StreamResponse onFirsTextField() { String value = request.getParameter("firstValue"); // do some thing //return a stream response } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////TEMPLATE////////////////////////////////////////////////// <input t:type="TextField" id="first" onBlur="callAjax()"/> <input t:type="TextField" id="second"/> <script> function callAjax() { var parameter = 'firstValue=' + $('first').value; new Ajax.Request('${url}',parameters: parameter, { onSuccess: function(transport) { // transport has a Stream response returned // do some thing } }); </script> 2010/7/12 tapestry newbie <yang.jerr...@yahoo.ca> > > Hi, > > I am a Tapestry newbie, using 5.1. > > I have two textfields, the second textfield's potential values is dependent > on the value of the first.
