hi,

According to the developper guide, i dont give the id to the a4j:outputPanel, i rerender the child id directly. my code does not work like i want. But if i give this id to the a4j:outputPanel, it works.

the STRANGE thing is, In the DOM, like be described in the dev-guide, when child's rendered is false, i have a spaceholder span with the child's id(NOT THE ID WHAT I WANT RERENDER), but a4j can find the component to rerender it.

I use richfaces 3.0.1 GA, code example is here, u can test with it. Just move the id of rich:panel to a4j:outputPanel to make it work.

thanks in advance.

<h:form id="formPresc" style="margin:0px">
 <rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">
 <rich:tab label="synthese" >
 <a4j:actionparam name="gs" value="aaa" assignTo="#{User.login}" />
 <a4j:commandLink value="test" reRender="includePage">
 <a4j:actionparam name="gs" value="ccc" assignTo="#{User.login}" />
 </a4j:commandLink>
 <h:outputText value="#{User.login}" />
 </rich:tab>
 <rich:tab label="ordonnance" reRender="includePage">
 <a4j:actionparam name="gs" value="bbb" assignTo="#{User.login}" />
 <a4j:commandLink value="test" reRender="includePage">
 <a4j:actionparam name="gs" value="ddd" assignTo="#{User.login}" />
 </a4j:commandLink>
 <h:outputText value="#{User.login}" />
 </rich:tab>
 </rich:tabPanel>
</h:form>

<a4j:form>
 <a4j:outputPanel layout="none">
 <rich:panel id="includePage" rendered="#{User.login=='ccc'}">
 <h:outputText value="#{User.login}" />
 </rich:panel>
 </a4j:outputPanel>
</a4j:form>

<a4j:log popup="true" hotkey="j" width="800" height="600" />
