Using Two SuggestionBoxes on the same form

[heather321]

Hi,

I'm using two SuggestionBoxes on the same page and form. Once the second SuggestionBox is used by selecting a value from its list, the first one stops working until the page is refreshed. Does anyone know how to work around this issue?

Thanks

Could not reproduce under RF 3.0.2 SNAPSHOT

I know, the post is really old, but I had the same problem and maybe this will help someone:

two inputfields (zip code and city), two suggestionboxes and each suggestionbox providing values for both inputfields (an a4j:support onselect would set the backing bean value for the other field and rerender it).

Selecting a suggestion from the zip-code suggestionbox would kind of disable* the city suggestionbox and vice versa.

*no request was sent to the server when typing in the inputfields.

I was able to get it working agagin by changing the rerender parameter of the a4j:support onselect for the suggestioboxes: instead of only rerending the other input field (zip or city), I also included the id of the suggestionbox for the other inputfield.

<h:inputText id="zip" value="#{address.zip}"/>
<h:inputText id="city" value="#{address.city}"/>

<rich:suggestionBox
id="zipSuggestionBox"
for="zip"
fetchValue="#{suggestionItem.zip}"
var="suggestionItem"
suggestionActoin="#{suggestionHandler.querySuggestionsForZip}"
minChars="#{suggestionHandler.minCharsZip}>
<a4j:support event="onselect"  ajaxSingle="true" immediate="true" reRender="city,citySuggestionBox">
     <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{address.city}" value="#{suggestionItem.city}"/>
</a4j:support>
</rich:suggestionBox>

<rich:suggestionBox
id="citySuggestionBox"
for="city"

fetchValue="#{suggestionItem.city}"
var="suggestionItem"
suggestionActoin="#{suggestionHandler.querySuggestionsForCity}"
minChars="#{suggestionHandler.minCharsCity}>
<a4j:support event="onselect"  ajaxSingle="true" immediate="true" reRender="zip,zipSuggestionBox">
     <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{address.city}" value="#{suggestionItem.city}"/>
</a4j:support>
</rich:suggestionBox>

Best regards
