ajax support action not working with calendar

[kvang]

My a4j:support action isn't working when I use it with rich:calendar. I was able to get the a4j:support action to work with SelectOneListbox and SelectOneRadio. I know it's not working because none of the print statements were executed. I tried using a few of the event that's supply by the calendar (ex: ondateselect, ondateselected, oninputchange) but none of them seems to work. I also tried using onchange for the attr. event.

Here's my code:

<rich:calendar value="#{ReportMB.dateRange1}" width="12"
datePattern="MM/dd/yyyy" >
<a4j:support action="#{ReportMB.dateRange1Change}"
event="ondateselect"/>
</rich:calendar>


public String dateRange1Change(){
System.out.println("dateRange1Change 1");
vRptParam rptParam =
(vRptParam)eao.getMapRptParam().get(dateFieldName);
System.out.println("dateRange1Change 2");
rptParam.getField().setDateRange1(dateRange1);
System.out.println("dateRange1Change 3");
displayDateInfo();
return "";
}

Provide details about environment, and use rich:messages on your page.

Update:

The action wasn't invoke because I put the calendar is inside a panelGrid, which is invisible until an action reRender it. When the panelGrid is reRendered and the calendar is visible then the a4j:support action will not be invoke.

Why wouldn't the action be invoke in this situation?

My manage bean is in request scope.
