Hi Guys,

I am scratching my head since few days and any help would ease that pain.

My situation is the following. I am using

• jsf 2 (mojarra implementation),
• richfaces 3.3.3.Final

Using <f:view contentType="text/html">, I am forcing it to have contentType html due to presence of some javascript code that do not use DOM Core methods. I have a datatable iterating on a form (it can be either h:form or a4j:form). In web kit based browsers (chrome and safari) , the form tag of the first item in the iteration is not present. This problem goes away when I remove the<f:view contentType="text/html", confirming that in an html content type, form inside a datatable is misbehaving.

You can reproduce the problem with a code snippet of this kind and test it in a webkit browser

{code:xml}
<f:view contentType="text/html">
  <a4j:form ajaxSubmit="true" ajaxSingle="true" id="contentElements">
         <rich:dataTable id="contentAreaDataTable" value="#{Bean.repeatItem}" var="element" rows="5">                           
          <rich:column styleClass="contentAreaColumnClass">
                   <a4j:form ajaxSingle="true" ajaxSubmit="true" id="contentAreaForm">
                        <span>element.text</span>
                   </a4j:form>
                </rich:column>
         </rich:dataTable>  
  </a4j:form>
</f:view>
{code}

Thanks for reading the problem!
