h:inputText that has rich:suggestionBox practically cannot be combined with a4j:support event="onBlur" because of 2 annoying problems ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-7527 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7527 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Components: component-input Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Environment: The scenario is for Firefox 3.5 and Opera 9.1, RichFaces >= 3.1 Reporter: Konstantin Spirov Assignee: Tsikhon Kuprevich Attachments: test.xhtml There are 2 problems mentioned here, but I am combining them in one report, because the test scenario I will provide is the same. The workarounds I am providing are not satisfying. The two these problems are in construction like: <h:inputText style="margin:0px;" id="xxx" value="xxx"> <a4j:support event="onblur" reRender="xxx" bypassUpdates="true" ajaxSingle="true"/> </h:inputText> <rich:suggestionbox for="xxx"> The approach is a4j:support rerender=xxx is *very standard* (see seam-gen for examples), and it is practically necessary if we want to modify automatically from the server the field after it is changed. Problem 1: Display suggestion list and click on some suggestion (with the mouse). The value will be updated for a while, then *the old content* is recovered (incorrectly ). We have again empty field, which is very annoying. PLEASE notice that if you had used arrows and tab from the keyboard, everything would work correctly - so there is a solution, but it doesn't work when the user clicks with the mouse (our users usually click with the mouse, don't use keyboard :-) Problem 2: JavaScript error if you try to display the suggestion again (see your browser console). The suggestionbox stops working until you reload the page. Exact steps to reproduce quickly test platform (I am sending an attachment just for refference - it is similar) 1) Take from Richfaces showcase RichInput:SuggestionBox:ObjectsUsageExample 2) Add value="#{bean.attribute} to <h:inputText (create the "bean" in the most quick and easy for you way, in my platform it is seam component in conversation scope) 3) Inside <h:form> wrap with <a4j:queue> (probably not necessary, but let's not risk the repeatability of the scenario) 4) From rich:suggestionBox remove: usingSuggestObjects=... onobjectchange=... 5) Add in h:inputText <a4j:support event="onblur" reRender="statesinput" bypassUpdates="true" ajaxSingle="true"/> You will see that the last step line makes everything unusable :-(
