          The RichFaces library, included in Seam, handles a lot of AJAX-y functionality for you.


          To make a form like what you're talking about, it's really very simple. Make a checkbox that's bound to a backing beam value, and have that box update the relevant output section.


          <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{backingBean.checked}" >
              <a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="otherPanel" />
          </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>



          And then have some other panel that contains the corresponding section:


          <a4j:outputPanel id="otherPanel" rendered="#{backingBean.checked}">
          
          ...
          
          </a4j:outputPanel>



          Now the other panel will be built only when the checkbox is checked. No problem.

            Here is my code snippet.. But its not working properly.


            I have used two drop down menus



            
            <h:outputLabel for="branch">Branch </h:outputLabel>   
            <h:selectOneMenu id="branch" value="#{stud.masterBranch}" >
            <s:selectItems var="branches" value="#{branchList}" noSelectionLabel="[Please Select]" label="#{branches.name}"/>
            <s:convertEntity />
            <a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="section" />
            </h:selectOneMenu>
                                            
                                              
            <a4j:outputPanel id="section" rendered="#{stud.masterBranch}" >
            <h:outputLabel for="section">Section</h:outputLabel>
            <h:selectOneMenu  value="#{stud.masterSection}" >
            <s:selectItems var="sections" value="#{sectionList}" noSelectionLabel="[Please Select]" label="#{sections.section}"/>
            <s:convertEntity />
            </h:selectOneMenu>
            </a4j:outputPanel>
            






            Is there any problem tn this code?
