Hi,
I am noticing a weird javascript error on my page which resembles a dashboard thats updated perodically using the a4j:poll tag and reRender attribute.

Here is what I have in my JSP:

 <a4j:region>
 <h:form id="dashboard_poll">
 <a4j:poll id="flicker" action="#{dashboardBean.readDashboardStats}" interval="30000" />
 </h:form>
 </a4j:region>
 <h:form id="dashboard">
 <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
 <h:panelGroup>
 <h:commandButton id="assignButton" value="Assign" onclick="return validate();" />
 <h:commandLink id="assignLink" style="display:none;" action="#{someOtherBean.makeAssignment}" >
 <f:param name="assignId" id="assignId" value="112233"/>
 </h:commandLink>
 </h:panelGroup>
 </a4j:outputPanel>
 </h:form>

Here is the javascript:

function validate() {
 document.getElementById('dashboard:assignLink).click();
 return false;
 }

The first time page loads and I click the Assign command button, everything works fine....the page transitions occur like clockwork. However if I dont click on anything and allow the <a4j:poll> to rerender the components and then click the button, I get a javascript error with some ridiculous message "Object Expected Line: 1 Char: 1"

I dug through with alerts etc and figured its before trying to call the "clearFormHiddenParams_dashboard('dashboard')" method. I guess this method is included by default for all <h:form> elements.

Has anyone seen something similar.....Am I doing something incorrectly to be seeing this error? Thanks in advance
