The following page is not rendered at all.

<zk>
	 <script type="text/JavaScript">
	   <![CDATA[ 
	     function doSomething(txtTest) {
	       	var value = txtTest.value;
	     }
	   ]]> 
	 </script>

	<window>
	
	 	<textbox id="txtTest" value="test" onChange="alert(self.getValue());" visible="false"/>
 		<button id="btnTest" label="call js function" action="onclick:doSomething(#{txtTest})"/>
	
        </window>
</zk>     

It seems that the

action="onclick:doSomething(#{txtTest})"
is causing the problem.
Any ideas?

Thank you all

Thanks Stephan but no luck. I'm not sure what's the problem. Is the 'action' attribute deprecated?

Costas,

The action attribute in Client-Side Action is not depreciated but it has changed from how it worked in ZK 3.x.  Whereas in ZK 3 the action could take just about any onXXXX event, In ZK5 it is used mainly for "show", "hide", and "invalidate" operations.

For more information about CSA, you can go here.

If you want to call JavaScript from your zul there are a couple of ways that I do it:

Namespace

<zk xmlns:w="http://www.zkoss.org/2005/zk/client">
	<script>
		function test(){
			alert("Hello from JavaScript");
		}
	</script>
	<window>
		<button id="btnTest" label="call JS function" w:onClick="test()"/>
	</window>
</zk>

Java call

<zk>
	<script>
		function test(){
			alert("Hello from JavaScript");
		}
	</script>
	<window>
		<button id="btnTest" label="call JS function">
			<attribute name="onClick">
				String jsCommand = "test()";
				Clients.evalJavaScript(jsCommand);
			</attribute>
		</button>
	</window>
</zk>

Hope that helps,

Todd
