I have this outputText block within the dateSelection pageBlock of my page.

<apex:outputText styleClass="dates" value="{0,date,MMM'.'dd', 'yyyy}">
     <apex:param value="{!propertyRate.Date__c}" /> 
</apex:outputText>

Here I have a save button. When I hit save, the dateSelection pageBlock rerenders. For some reason, the outputText above is the only part of the pageBlock that does NOT rerender. See image below. 

<apex:pageBlockButtons location="bottom">
    <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" rerender="dateSelection" status="updateDay"></apex:commandButton>
    <apex:actionStatus id="updateDay" startText="updating..." stopText=""/> 
</apex:pageBlockButtons>

After Hitting Save (The bolded dates disapear in the left panel) enter image description here

        <apex:actionFunction name="dateSelected" action="{!setDate}" status="updatestatus" rerender="div">

        </apex:actionFunction>
        <apex:actionStatus id="updatestatus" startText="updating..." stopText=""/>

It looks like you're using two <apex:pageBlock> components but only rerendering one of them (dateSelection).

Give the <apex:outputText> component an ID and then add that ID to the reRender attribute of the <apex:commandButton>

edit

So with your updated outputText:

    <apex:outputText id="outputDates" styleClass="dates" value="{0,date,MMM'.'dd', 'yyyy}">
         <apex:param value="{!propertyRate.Date__c}" /> 
 </apex:outputText>

Update your button to reRender it:

<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" rerender="dateSelection, outputDates" status="updateDay"></apex:commandButton>

Also I don't know your full page code so apologies if it's there, but you should add a messages component to display any errors that occur:

<apex:pageMessages id="messageBlock" />

Then update your buttons to reRender this too:

<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" rerender="dateSelection, outputDates, messageBlock" status="updateDay"></apex:commandButton>

  • Is this how it should be written? (With a comma separating them) rerender="dateSelection, outputDates" If so, that didn't work

  • Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Yes comma separate the IDs, that should work. Could you post your full page code?

  • Yep! I've just posted the VF portion of the page. Let me know if you need CSS or JS, but they aren't that relevant to this.
