Reloading h:form using ajax not wroking with Firefox

[apolyakov]

Hi All!

I have a very frustrating problem with Seam 2.0.2SP1. I want to re-render pane which have h:form included. After re-rendering, FF doesn't see the form in 'document.forms' and hence this form can't submit any actions. The following code works fine in IE, but not in FF, please advice:

<f:view>
     <script language="javascript">
      //<![CDATA[
      function check() {
           //document.forms['testForm'] = document.getElementById('testForm');
          alert(document.forms['testForm']);
     }
     //]]>
     </script>

     <h:form>
          <a4j:commandLink id="weekCmdLink" value="Week"
               reRender="scheduleCalendar">
               <a4j:actionparam id="dataParamWeek" name="data" value="WEEK"
                    assignTo="#{testBean.data}" />
          </a4j:commandLink>
          <s:button onclick='check(); return false;' />
     </h:form>

     <h:panelGrid columns="1" id="scheduleCalendar">
          <h:outputText value="#{testBean.data}" />
          <h:form id="testForm">
               <h:commandLink id="yearCmdLink" value="Action!"
                    action="#{testBean.someAction}" />
          </h:form>
     </h:panelGrid>
     <a4j:log popup="false" level="ALL" style="width: 800px; height: 300px;"></a4j:log>
</f:view>

'Action!' button works fine until you click on 'Week' link. After that clicking on

<s:button onclick='check(); return false;' />

doesn't show form is present in FF and 'Action!' button also results in JS error 'form is null' in FF.

Seems like a DOM problem in FF. Any ideas?

Check the a4j log and see if it reports any problems, you can also check under the console tab of FireBug to see what is being sent back in the ajax response. FireBug will also show you the content after the page after the ajax update (I think).

If you are still having issues you might get more help at the richfaces forum.

cheers,

Did you tried using an a:form instead of a h:form?. You might find this helpful.

Thanks, no. a4j:form doesn't help. It seems like a general issue with any HTML <form> element being replaced by replaceNode in FF.

I reposted this ro richfaces forum and that folks confirmed this to be a bug in FF
