Whenever I try to execute some JavaScript code on my XHTML JSF pages I get the following error:

Caused by: javax.el.PropertyNotWritableException: Illegal Syntax for Set Operation

<h:commandButton onclick="addTest()" styleClass="btn-primary" value="Add Test"></h:commandButton>

<div class="labTest"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
function addTest()
{ 
 $(document).ready(function(){
     $(".labTest").html("<b>Hello world!</b>");
 });
}
</script>

Now I am trying to populate the .labTest div with some html code. Any help will be appreciated.

  • I have $(".labTest").html("Hello world!"); and not $("#labTest").html("Hello world!"); – user3035404 May 16 '17 at 09:48
  • Hi Jasper. I am very new to JSF. I have always written code in PHP for web apps and Java for desktop apps or web back end. Now I am trying to use JSF and I have that error. Kindly advise how I should edit the question. – user3035404 May 16 '17 at 10:40
  • Thanks a lot Jasper. I had an input field as follows: I think it was making an attempt to map value=" " to a bean property. Following the link you gave me opened my mind. – user3035404 May 16 '17 at 12:59
