Activate a button in Xpages via jQuery

Question

I would like to run some server side JavaDcript.

However I would like to do that via jQuery since I am waiting for a AJAX request performed by jQuery.

The server side JavaScript may be on the onclick event for a button.

I wonder how I can initiate the onclick event via client side JavaScript?

There are many examples of triggering SSJS from a client. You will need to use

XSP.partialRefreshGet

or

XSP.partialRefreshPost

see here: XSP Partial Refresh

You can use then params property section to manage what gets executed in your SSJS.

Using jQuery in xPages is a little bit tricky. The Domino Server assigns a new dynamic name which contains colons to the field at run time. Colons are special characters in jQuery, so there is no chance to get a field by $('id'). You could use the class-name instead. If you want to use the id, have a look at this xSnippet provided by Mark Roden:
