a4j:jsFunction in IE6/7 breaks when html:form's prependId="false" ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-5617 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-5617 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.2 Environment: Windows XP, IE6/7 Reporter: yagish sharma a4j:jsFunction in IE6/7 breaks when html:form's prependId="false". In RichFaces3.2.2SR1, a4j:jsFunction generates an HTML script, which breaks in IE6/7, but works in FireFox. The issue is the way the jsFunction is rendered. Here is a sample of how the script is rendered in Ajax4JSF and in RichFaces when html:form's prependId attribute is false. <a4j:jsFunction name="func1" and id="func1" action="doSomething()"/> Notice that the name and id fields are kept same. In Ajax4JSF, this will render as - script id="func1" type="text/javascript" function func1(){.........}; /script In RichFaces, this renders as - script id="func1" type="text/javascript"> func1 = function(){.........}; /script Having the id of script tag and the func1 prototype name as same creates the problem. IE6/7 while parsing the script tag gives an error - "Object does not supports this property". In RichFaces the renderer for jsFunction is AjaxFunctionRendererBase. This renderer's getFunction() method has changed from Ajax4JSF and generates this inappropriate javascript code. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
