Hi,

I have a strange problem with suggestionBox, RichFaces 3.1.5 and Firefox 2.
I've got a page A containing a suggestionBox. If I come from page B to page A, suggestionBox on page A works correctly. If I come from page C to page A, suggestionBox don't work !

Suggestion action method is correctly called and return a list of data.
But on client side, a4j:status don't stop and popup result isn'y displayed.
I get the following JavaScript error :

$ is not defined

(?)("richfaces_suggestionEntry", div#body:formActesOperatoires:tableActes:rechCodeSuggest.dr-sb-common-container)a4j_3_1_4.GAorg.a... (line 4153)
updateChoices(undefined)suggestionbox.js (line 604)
onComplete(Object _query=Object _documentElement=html options=Object, Object)suggestionbox.js (line 733)
bind()a4j_3_1_4.GAorg.a... (line 210)
after processing updates" ); window.setTimeout()

wich point to JS file a4j_3_1_4.GAorg.ajax4jsf.javascript.PrototypeScript on line 4153 :

In A4g log, when I type a character in suggestionBox, I have :

And here is source code of component (inside the footer facet of a dataTable) :

<rich:suggestionbox id="rechCodeSuggest" for="rechCode"

 binding="#{devisActeOperatoireForm.uiSuggestCode}"
 suggestionAction="#{devisActeOperatoireController.suggererCodesCcam}"
 var="elt">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{elt.code}" />
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{elt.libelle}" />
 </h:column>

 <%-- Les proprietes reRender et oncomplete sont mises a jour par le controller --%>
 <a4j:support event="onselect" ajaxSingle="true"
 actionListener="#{devisActeOperatoireController.selectionnerOuCreerCodeCcamEvent}"/>
</rich:suggestionbox>

Any idea, please ?
Is it a bug or bad usage ?
Thanks
