Issue with suggestionbox in ui repeat -urgent pls help
valatharv Sep 30, 2009 1:01 PMI posted it in seam forum but there is no response, may be it is related to richfaces...
I am trying to use suggestionbox in ui repeat but suggestionAction is never called.
Please suggest, why suggestionAction="#{itemLinesBean.autocomplete}" is not called in ui repeat, I tested various scenarios but it doesn't work in ui repeat...
Any suggestion will be of great help... I am stuck on this and can't proceed..
