How to call action method before onClick event

Question

I got the trouble with this JSF. I like to call the action method first and then like to call the JavaScript OnClick Event.

<input value="Select" jsfc="ft:commandButton" style="width: 70px;" type="button" onclick="setReturnValues(this,'memId');" action="#{eem1001.EEM1001FormBean.memberChange(line.memId)}"/>

But JavaScript OnClick Event is call before action method.

How can I call action method before JavaScript OnClick Event.

For that you can call action method on mouseDown event and then on mouseUp event you can call your 2nd method setReturnValues(this,'memId').

You can call your desired method on body part. Like this

<body onload="methodName()" >

If it is possible for you to use JBoss Richfaces, you can add a4j:support to your button and with its oncomplete attribute you can call your javascript setReturnValues(this,'memId') after actual action eem1001.EEM1001FormBean.memberChange(line.memId) Like:

<input value="Select" jsfc="ft:commandButton" style="width: 70px;" type="button" >
  <a4j:support event="onclick" 
    action="#{eem1001.EEM1001FormBean.memberChange(line.memId)" 
    oncomplete="setReturnValues(this,'memId');"  
    disableDefault="true" />
</input>
