Hi,

I'm using suggestionBox, everything works well but the thing is that I cannot catch the selected value on the back bean.

I have to suggest countries according to the ones that exist on my database. The suggestions appear correctly, but I the problem is this: for example, if I type 's', 'Spain' appears as a suggestion, I choose it but the back bean's attribute value is 's'.

Only when I submit the form the back bean gets the "whole value" (Spain). But I need it immediately, since I have to filter options for another suggestionBox (for State/Province) according to the country I choose.

I've tried a million things, but i cannot find the solution.

I leave the code below, thanks in advance!

<h:outputText value="#{Message.country}#{Message.twoPoints}" />
<h:outputText value=" " escape="false" />
<a4j:region id="regSuggCountry">
<h:inputText id="country" value="#{customer.country}"
maxlength="40" styleClass="txt_componentes" size="40"
onmouseout="hidefloatie();"
onmouseover="showfloatie(fieldRequired+fieldMaxLength+'40'+fieldCharacter,event);"
onkeydown="if(event.keyCode==13) event.keyCode=9;"/>
<rich:suggestionbox id="countrySuggestions" for="country"
height="100" width="250" minChars="1"
var="resultCountry"
suggestionAction="#{customer.countriesSuggestionList}"
nothingLabel="#{Message.noSuggestions}">
<h:column>
<h:outputText id="suggCountryCol" value="#{resultCountry.description}"/>
</h:column>
</rich:suggestionbox>
</a4j:region>
<h:message for="country" styleClass="errorMessage" />


'description' is the name of the country (a String, naturally).
