Scroll p:messages into view when it is updated and (error) messages are present

Question

I am working with PrimeFaces messages, I want my whole page to scroll to top when p:messages is rendered.

Answer 1

Assign an ID to your p:message component

Then, in your backing bean call RequestContext.scrollTo method:

• in PrimeFaces >= 6.0:

  PrimeFaces.current().scrollTo("myMessage")
  

• in Primefaces < 6.0:

  RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
  context.scrollTo("myMessage");
  

  which is deprecated in PrimeFaces 6.0
