DropDownMenu did not find parent form

[ralf.mueller]

This is my menu:

<rich:dropDownMenu value="#{msg.menu_chassis_main}">
<rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="#{msg.menu_chassis_open}" action="goChassis" />
<rich:menuItem immediate="true" value="#{msg.menu_chassis_insert}" action="#{customer.insert}" />
</rich:dropDownMenu>

First item works fine, but the second throws this exception:

javax.servlet.ServletException: class org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDropDownMenu (id="_idJsp6") did not find parent form.
javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:154)
org.ajax4jsf.framework.ajax.xmlfilter.BaseXMLFilter.doXmlFilter(BaseXMLFilter.java:127)
org.ajax4jsf.framework.ajax.xmlfilter.BaseFilter.doFilter(BaseFilter.java:277)
org.apache.myfaces.webapp.filter.ExtensionsFilter.doFilter(ExtensionsFilter.java:147)
teamdev.jsf.util.ResourceFilter.doFilter(SourceFile:67)


This is the code:

public String insert(){
chassisDAO.loadEmptyChassis(this);
return "goChassisInsert";
}

and fhe faces config:

<navigation-case>
<from-action>#{customer.insert}</from-action>
<from-outcome>goCustomerInsert</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/app/customer/details.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>


Any ideas what im doing wrong.

Ok I found my problem, but there is a new one.

If you have a panelgrid right under the menu, it places the menu behinf the panel grid. This only happens in the newest ie version. Firefox is fine.

Something like:

 <rich:dropDownMenu value="File" style="z-index:2000">
 <rich:menuItem value="open"></rich:menuItem>
 </rich:dropDownMenu>



resolves the problem
