suggestionbox javascript error

[cupdike]

RichFaces 3.0.1, JBoss AS 4.2.1

The first time I used a suggestionbox, it worked flawlessly. Using the same approach, the second time I get a javascript error:

this.element has no properties
Base("pemsForm:pemsItemLookup", "pemsForm:j_id144", Object eventsQueue=pemsForm:j_id144)suggestionbox.js (line 2)
initialize("_viewRoot", "pemsForm", "pemsForm:pemsItemLookup", "pemsForm:j_id144", null, Object eventsQueue=pemsForm:j_id144)suggestionbox.js (line 53)
create()org.ajax4jsf.fram... (line 3)
[Break on this error] if(!RichFaces)var RichFaces={};var Suggestion={};Suggestion.Base=function(){};Su...

The specific line, referencing "this.element" from suggestionbox.js appears to be:

if(!RichFaces)var RichFaces={};var Suggestion={};Suggestion.Base=function(){};Suggestion.Base.prototype={baseInitialize:function(element,update,options){this.isOpera=(RichFaces.navigatorType()=="OPERA"?true:false);this.element=$(element);this.update=$(update);this.hasFocus=false;this.changed=false;this.active=false;this.index=0;this.prevIndex=-1;this.entryCount=0;this.keyEvent=false;this.oldValue=this.element.value;var needIframe=(RichFaces.navigatorType()=="MSIE");if(needIframe){options.iframeId=update+"_iframe";}

The xhtml snippet is:

<h:form id="pemsForm" styleClass="edit">

 <s:decorate id="pemsItemLookupDecoration" template="layout/edit.xhtml">
 <ui:define name="label">PEMS Property Number</ui:define>
 <h:inputText id="pemsItemLookup" required="false"
 value="#{passEdit.pemsItemSelection.propertyNum}">

 <rich:suggestionbox for="pemsItemLookup"
 suggestionAction="#{passEdit.suggestPemsItem}"
 fetchValue="#{pemsItem.propertyNum}" var="pemsItem">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{pemsItem.propertyNum}" />
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{pemsItem.manufacturer}" />
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{pemsItem.desc}" />
 </h:column>
 </rich:suggestionbox>

 </h:inputText>
 </s:decorate>

 <a:commandButton value="Add Pems Item" type="submit"
 action="#{passEdit.addPemsItem()}" reRender="passList_pems"/>

 </h:form>

I'm not certain what "this.element" is supposed to refer to or why it is null. The backing bean passEdit.suggestPemsItem method is never called.

TIA, Clark

Could you please check it at least at 3.1.1 GA?

Unfortunately 3.1.1.GA produced essentially the same result:

this.element has no properties
Base("pemsForm:pemsItemLookupDecoration:pemsItemLookup", "pemsForm:pemsItemLookupDecoration:j_id144", Object)suggestionbox.js (line 2)
initialize("_viewRoot", "pemsForm", "pemsForm:pemsItemLookupDecoration:pemsItemLookup", "pemsForm:pemsItemLookupDecoration:j_id144", null, Object)suggestionbox.js (line 68)

and

if(!window.RichFaces)window.RichFaces={};var Suggestion={};Suggestion.Base=function(){};Suggestion.Base.prototype={baseInitialize:function(element,update,options){this.isOpera=(RichFaces.navigatorType()=="OPERA"?true:false);this.element=$(element);this.update=$(update);this.hasFocus=false;this.changed=false;this.active=false;this.index=0;this.prevIndex=-1;this.entryCount=0;this.keyEvent=false;this.oldValue=this.element.value;this.skipHover=false;var needIframe=(RichFaces.navigatorType()=="MSIE");if(needIframe){options.iframeId=update+"_iframe";}

Is there anything else I can try?

What is JSF implementation ?

[cupdike]

The default you get with Seam 2.0.0.CR:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5

Is there any suggestion as to what I can try next? Should I file a bug report or what?
