setting style from Java code prevents changing from Javascript?

[autozoom]

Using woodstock components (4.2 b5) and dynamic faces transactions, if I change a button's style from Java code like this:

addIndirizzoButton.setImageURL("/resources/images/buttons/aggiungi.gif");

then I cannot change it anymore from client-side Javascript code like this:

$(addIndirizzoButtonID).setStyle({'background-image':'url(../resources/images/buttons/aggiungi.disabled.gif)'});

What happens is that code is correctly executed, Firebug tells me that style property has changed, but I still see the "old" style in the browser.
This happens in Firefox, not tested in IE

This is not a style property. In fact, this URL value is output as the src property of an HTML input element.

then I cannot change it anymore from client-side Javascript code like this:

$(addIndirizzoButtonID).setStyle({'background-image':'url(../resources/images/buttons/aggiungi.disabled.gif)'});

This is not the correct way to set button properties. Please note that the public APIs are documented in the TLD docs below. In particular, see example #5 for the button tag.

To encapsulate brand and functionality changes, you must use the Woodstock APIs. For example:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var domNode = document.getElementById("form1:button1"); // Get button
    domNode.setProps({src: "myImage"});
</script>
