 public WOActionResults cartItemChanged() {
        ShoppingCart cart; // assume this exists
        ShoppingCartItem item; // assume this exists
        AjaxResponse response = AjaxUtils.createResponse(context().request(), context());
        response.appendScriptHeaderIfNecessary();
        response.updateDomElement("orderAmount_" + item.primaryKey(), item.orderAmount(), "#,##0.", null, null);
        response.updateDomElement("price_" + item.primaryKey(), item.priceForOrderAmount(), "#,##0.00", null, null);
        response.updateDomElement("shoppingCartPrice", cart.totalPrice(), "#,##0.00", null, null);
        response.appendScriptFooterIfNecessary();
        return response;
 }
 

Parameters:

response - The response to append the JavaScript to

id - ID of the DOM element to update

value - The new value

numberFormat - optional number format to format the value with

dateFormat - optional date format to format the value with

valueWhenEmpty - string to use when value is null
