Forums for ICEfaces and ICEpdf

I'm trying to use the new <ice:effect/> component, specifically the appear and face effects.

Can this be done without having to use any beans?

Here's a simple example of what I'm trying to do:

<ice:outputText value="Make this text fade" >
<ice:effect effectType="face"/>
</ice:outputText>

<ice:outputText value="Make this text appear" >
<ice:effect effectType="appear"/>
</ice:outputText>

Nothing happens. Am I missing something?
It would be helpful if someone could post a 'Hello World' example.
The 1.7 Component Showcase has some examples source code, but that doesn't appear to be using the <ice:effect> components.

Thank you,
dave

Hi Dave,

Try wrapping the effect tag around the effectee rather than embedding it:
Code:

 <ice:effect effectType="pulsate" event="mouseover">
 	<ice:outputText value="Pulsate"/>
 </ice:effect>

Thanks, that did it.

I could not make mine work without panel group.
Code:

  <ice:panelGroup>                                 
      <ice:effect event="mouseover" effectType="highlight" >
                                     <a href="/epf/browse?packageId=#{tree.packageId}&versionObjectID=#{version.objId}" target="_blank"> <ice:outputText value="#{version.name}"/></a>
                                     <!--/ice:commandLink-->   
                     </ice:effect>              
                 </ice:panelGroup>

Thanks
