EDIT: I needed to put a ReRender, but why?
Trying to pass an action function param to the VFP's custom controller. The value is not passing as passedVariableString returns null on the debug. Where am I going wrong?
Initiated in between script tags on VFP:
var variable = 'some text here';
launchActionFunction(variable);
On same VFP:
<apex:actionFunction action="{!launchActionFunction}" name="launchActionFunction">
<apex:param name="passedVariable" value=""/>
</apex:actionFunction>
On Controller
public void launchActionFunction()
{
string passedVariableString =
system.CurrentPageReference().getParameters().get('passedVariable');
system.debug(passedVariableString);
}

Salesforce has built the framework for
apex:actionFunction
like that way that it expectsrerender
attribute to pass value to the controller and the ID of one or more components that are redrawn when the result of the action method returns to the client.If you don't want to
rerender
anything, then usererender="none"
.For more information, refer apex:actionFunction
