Hi folks!

I am using the richfaces suggestionbox in my web application to autocomplete user input.

This is my page source:

<h:inputText value="#{backing.interests}" id="suggest"/>
<rf:suggestionbox for="suggest" suggestionAction="#{backing.getInterestsList}}" var="suggest">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{suggest}"/>
 </h:column>
</rf:suggestionbox>

My backing bean returns a list of strings. In Firefox everything works fine.

But in IE7 and IE8 it doesn't work. The suggestions appear under my input field but if I select one of the suggested items nothing happens and the browser throws a JavaScript error:

"internet explorer object does not support this property or method"

Line: 29
Character: 1495
Code: 0
URI: http://localhost:8080/my-project/a4j/g/3_3_1.GAorg/richfaces/renderkit/html/scripts/scriptaculous/effects.js.c1

So it seems to be a scriptaculous problem? The line in effects.js seems to be this one:

effect.element.forceRerendering();

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Many thanks! :-)

Cheers,
Nils
