I would like to use the component apex:actionFunction to set a variable from a custom controller but after the call, the Visualforce page reloads itself. :/
I use return false;
on the outputLink component and the rerender attribute but it doesn't work.
This is my code :
Visualforce page :
<apex:form>
<apex:actionFunction name="setTheSource" action="{!setTheSource}">
<apex:param name="selectedSource" value="{!$Label.Labs_Sf_Formulaire_QR_Label}" assignTo="{!selectedSource}" />
</apex:actionFunction>
</apex:form>
<apex:outputLink value="#" id="contactusForm" onclick="setTheSource(); return false; showFeedbackDialog(); return false;" rendered="{!pkbCon.selectedLanguage != 'ru'}" >{!$Label.Labs_Sf_Contact_Us}</apex:outputLink>
Custom controller :
public String selectedSource {get;set;}
public PageReference setTheSource()
{
System.debug('SOURCE HERE!!! ' + ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('selectedSource'));
this.selectedSource = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('selectedSource');
return NULL;
}
Have you any idea for why it doesn't work please?
Thanks for the help. 🙂

Instead of using false in the rerender attribute, you should just leave is blank. Example rerender="". That has worked for me.
