reRender does not work properly on IE

[lucab]

We have the following code. What we are trying to do is reRender an input field after an ajax request. As usual, IE gives some annoyance. We can't understand why on firefox the same code works fine. Probably there's an issue we are not aware of. hints and suggestions will be appreciated.

regards

*don't mind if due to cut&paste some tag closure is missing. that's not the case in the real code

<a4j:region id="createBP">
 <div id="test"></div>
 <a4j:form id="nuovoBP">
 <a4j:keepAlive beanName="businessPartner" />
 <rich:simpleTogglePanel label="#{menu.bp}" switchType="client">
 <a4j:outputPanel id="bp-panel" layout="block">
 <rich:panel >
 // more stuff before this line
 <h:panelGrid columns="2" styleClass="myTable">


 <rich:comboBox id="cardType" value="#{businessPartner.bp.sapType}" defaultLabel="seleziona tipo">
 <f:selectItems value="#{businessPartner.bp.types}" />
 <f:converter converterId="it.runtime.Map" />
 <a4j:support event="onselect" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="email" actionListener="#{businessPartner.processAjax}"/>
 </rich:comboBox>
 </h:panelGroup>

 // more stuff after this line
 </a4j:outputPanel> <!-- bp panel -->

 <a4j:outputPanel id="tab1" layout="block">
 <rich:tabPanel switchType="client">
 <rich:tab label="#{tab.generalInfo}">
 <h:panelGrid columns="4" styleClass="myTable">
 // more stuff before this line

 <h:outputLabel value="#{bp.email}" />
 <h:inputText id="email" value="#{businessPartner.bp.sapEmail}" />
// more stuff after this line

 </h:panelGrid>
 </rich:tab>

I have the same problem on Safari Mac.

BTW the problem was not the reRender as we thought, the problem is that in IE our listeners are never invoked, so no change to show on reRender.

any ideas?

do you mean client side onselect handler or server side actionListener?

B.t.w. if second - please try to use rich:messages on your page.
