Strange behavior with rich:calendar
I have a simple form on my page that contains a text input and a rich:calendar input. When the person leaves the text input field, via a4j:support, an action method is called to display a label next to the text input field. Now, this all works just fine when the rich:calendar is not set to required="true." But, when I set the calendar to required="true", the a4j event does not seem to fire any more. I have included the xhtml page and backing bean code below. Any thoughts on this strange behavior?
