Opera compatibility
Hi. I played with RichFaces (3.1.4) for the first time in the last several days, and I have to say that they're a great addition to the standard jsf tag library.
Although the default components and themes satisfies the needs for my current application, I'm very disappointed about the declared cross-browser compatibility (http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossrichfaces/freezone/docs/devguide/en/html/TechnicalRequirements.html).
I develop using Opera as main browser, and I found evident glitches in my first walkthrough of the library.
I don't know who could proudly claim such browser compatibility even without running any simple test case on each browser.
Some problems I've discovered within the first 5 minutes using each of the following components:
rich:dropDownMenu object generates visual glitches, caused by a javascript error I've not investigated
Event thread: mouseout Error: name: TypeError message: Statement on line 95: Type mismatch (usually a non-object value used where an object is required) Backtrace: Line 95 of linked script http://***/a4j_3_1_4.GAscripts/menu.js.faces var within = false; Event.extend(event); var targetElement = event.relatedTarget; var srcElement = Event.element(event); if (targetElement) Line 79 of linked script http://***/a4j_3_1_4.GAscripts/menu.js.faces if (options.disabled == false && !

Letting the user play with a rich:suggestionbox, prevents him to succesfully submit a form (in certain not better defined circumstances), with no indication about any error. Simply, the submit button doesn't trigger any action...
