I have a little problem:
When i use following code:
<h:inputText id="firstname2" value=".." " required="true"/> <rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax"> <rich:tab label="First"> Here is tab #1 </rich:tab> <rich:tab label="Second"> Here is tab #2 </rich:tab> </rich:tabPanel>
That is because the default switchType is server, which will post the form back to the server. This causes a validation error.
Try setting switchType="client", or adding a rich:messages component to the page so you can see the validation errors.
