submit a form from toolbar icon

[vins76]

Hi all,

I have a page with a toolbar .

<rich:toolbar height="26px">

   <rich:toolbarGroup>            

    <h:graphicImage value="/images/icons/create_doc.gif" styleClass="pic" alt="create_doc" />  

     <a4j:commandLink id="cbutton" action="#{ciPageBean.save}" reRender="res">          

     <h:graphicImage value="/images/icons/save.gif" />

    </a4j:commandLink>

......

<h:form>

  <h:outputText value="Code:" />                

  <h:inputText value="#{ciPageBean.code}" />

  <h:outputText value="Description:" />                

  <h:inputText value="#{ciPageBean.description}" />

</h:form>

Command Link is outside the form.

Clicking on cButton command link, the method save of ciPageBean is called. But code and description are not populated.

Can I submit a form from commandLink?

Thanks in advance
