[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (RF-3632) Lost input focus after rerendering parent form

Lost input focus after rerendering parent form ---------------------------------------------- Key: RF-3632 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-3632 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Environment: RF 3.2.1.CR3 IE 6 Firefox 2.0.0.11 Java 1.5.0_15 jetty-6.1.9 WinXP SP2 Reporter: Benno Markiewicz A control within a parent form looses its focus when the parent form is rerendered. The rerendering was forced by an event fired from the child control. See the source (based on http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/support.jsf?c=support) <h:form id="myform"> <h:panelGrid columns="2"> <h:inputText id="myinput" value="#{userBean.name}"> <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="myform" /> </h:inputText> <h:outputText id="outtext" value="#{userBean.name}" /> </h:panelGrid> </h:form> Notice the difference. Instead of "outtext" "myform" will be rerendered. Background: You have a detail form with several components. Every control on the form changes the internal state. The view represents the actual state, so the whole form has to be rerendered. But when you rerender the parent form, the focus/selection state of the actual component is lost.
