ontabenter vs action in rich:tab

[nimo22]

Is want to rerender a region within a tab when tab is entered or clicked:

I have tried it with ontabenter and ontabclick, but action is not fired:

Version 1:

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">

<rich:tab label="My Tab">

<h:form>
<a4j:support event="ontabenter" action="#{myBean.doAction}" reRender="myDiv"/>
</h:form>

<s:div id="myDiv">
               ..
</s:div>
</rich:tab>

When using this version, action is fired and all works:;

Version 2:

<h:form>

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">

<rich:tab label="My Tab" action="#{myBean.doAction}"  reRender="myDiv">

<s:div id="myDiv">
                ..
</s:div>
</rich:tab>

</h:form>

But the problem with Version 2 is, that I need a form around the whole component, and this is not what I want.

How can I make Version 1 to work?

try  the event onlabelclick of the tab.

thanks, I changed the label text to a commandLink and wrap that within a form - this works.

Oh the thread is not answered:)

I need to fire the action when tab is changed, so onlabelclick or the following version does not help me, because I have to click the label of the tab and not the tab itself.

Why does "ontabenter" not work?

<rich:tab label="mylabel">
<h:form>
<a4j:support event="ontabenter" action="#{bean.myAction}" reRender="region"/>
</h:form>

<div id="region">

</div>

</rich:tab>

I have no idea why the ontabenter does not work...I realized it too a few days ago.. I just did this :

  <rich:tab label="mylabel" onlabelclick="someAj4Function()">

</rich:tabpanel>

and whenever the user clicks the tab the action inside the jsFunction is executed...

I haven't seen any difference between clicking the tab and clicking the label..
