Problem with IE 6 and a4j:form - t:tree2

[quession]

I am using a4j:form to perform ajax requests when expanding a node of t:tree2. In Firefox everything works fine, while in IE I do alsways receive an exception. The cause is that some hidden fields (menuForm%3A_link_hidden_ / org.apache.myfaces.tree.NAV_COMMAND) do not seem to be submitted in IE, while they are in Firefox. Can someone help me or is this a bug within IE ?

Configuration:

Tomahawk 1.1.3
MyFaces 1.1.5
Ajax4Jsf 1.1.0
Tomcat 5.5

Code-Snippet:

<a4j:form id="menuForm" ajaxSubmit="true" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="treePanel" ignoreDupResponses="true">
<a4j:log hotkey="L" popup="true" level="ALL"/>
<a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true" layout="inline" id="treePanel">
<t:tree2 binding="#{treeBacker.tree}" id="serverTree" showRootNode="true" showNav="true" value="#{treeBacker.treeModel}" var="node" varNodeToggler="t" clientSideToggle="false">
<f:facet name="desktop">
<h:panelGroup>
<t:graphicImage value="/resources/images/desktop.png" border="0"/>
<a4j:commandLink rendered="#{node.urlNode}" styleClass="#{t.nodeSelected ? 'nodeSelected':'node'}" actionListener="#{t.setNodeSelected}">
<h:outputLink value="#{node.url}" target="#{node.target}">
<h:outputText value="#{node.description}" styleClass="nodeFolder"/>
</h:outputLink>
</a4j:commandLink>
</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
</t:tree2>
</a4j:outputPanel>
</a4j:form>

[andrew.rw.robinson]

I have the same problem with ALL tomahawk controls with a4j:form ajaxSubmit="true" and IE6:

[andrew.rw.robinson]

FYI: a temporary hack (this will probably cause adverse behaviors):

<a4j:form ajaxSubmit="true"
 onsubmit="window.oamClearHiddenInput = function() {};">

[dgsanchez]

Still hapening the same to me. When I click on any commandLink the page submit (not expected using AJAX) and turns blank.
I'm using data table and datascroller from Tomahawk. I've tried different versions.

MyFaces (1.1.4, 1.1.5 or 1.1.6)
Tomahawk (1.1.4, 1.1.5 or 1.1.6)
Tomahawk-Sandbox (1.1.5 or 1.1.6)
Ajax4Jsf 1.1.0 or 1.1.1
Tomcat 5.5
IE 6 or 7

Got a blank page in Firefox 2.0.0.4 too.

Resolved by changing:

<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>

to

<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>

in manager beans config.
