Thanks Joe.
I currently have the AJAX refresh triggered on a double click of a text
box (because that was an event that I could get working). I will work
with your samples and see if I can get it working with my table.
I have no doubts that this is some advance stuff. This is a pilot
project for our first iSeries GUI application, and I am trying to
appease both the green-screen diehards and the Windows zealots. I know
that I cannot please either but I am hoping for a solution that neither
group can reasonably argue against.

You're starting to delve into some REALLY advanced stuff here, but let
me try to explain as best I can. There are two issues: getting a click
to cause a refresh, and then passing a value to the refresh request.
The first is quite easy. Add a behavior to your column:
<hx:behavior event="onclick"
behaviorAction="get" targetAction="ajax1">
</hx:behavior>
That will cause the panel named ajax1 to be refreshed when you click on
the parent.
Second, specify the value to be refreshed when you need it:
<hx:ajaxRefreshRequest id="ajaxRefreshRequest1" target="ajax1"
params="$$AJAXROW$$form1:tableEx1:keycolumn">
</hx:ajaxRefreshRequest>
The magical $$AJAXROW$$ says to get the value from the row that was
clicked. You need to tell it the name of the form, table and column to
send. In this case, the name of the form is form1, the name of the
table is tableEx1, the name of the column is keycolumn. Typically
keycolumn would be the column that you added the hx:behavior to earlier.
Hope this gets you started!
