    Question about rich:datatable and h:commandLink not working

    psuross

      When I click on the commandLinks, nothing happens, the links appear dead, there is a javascript error @ the bottm of the page which says -

      'elements' is null or not an object.

      I have messed around with where I put the form and sometimes, when I get some of the links or buttons to function, they take me to the first tab in this tabset which is not what I want. Other <h:form> configurations, it complete shreads my layout, moving layout objects around.

      Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
