[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - h:commandLink does not work on Safari

Sun Feb 3 15:42:58 EST 2008

Hi,

this may not be a Seam issue but since I'm using the whole Seam/Jboss stack I'm starting here.

I'm using JBoss AS 4.2.2.GA with Seam 2.0.1.GA and all its standard libs.

It seems as if <h:commandLink> don't work on Safari 3/Mac OS Leopard, which they did in earlier prjects with jboss 4.0.5.GA and Seam 1.2.1.GA.

The commandLink in the following example produces a JavaScript error "Undefined value". It doesn't matter if the action or the form is empty. I've simplified the example but this also happens with a complete form.

The starange thing is that if I copy the generated HTML source into an html file, open that file and click the "command" link, it works (however an error page is shown since this is not a legal Seam request).

I've no idea why this browser makes a difference between these two files since I have used <h:commandLink> in many earlier projects with earlier versions of the components. Firefox works without a problem.
I've already changed the extension of JSF/Seam from .seam to .html. Same error.

Anyone can help here?

This is the generated HTML. The JavaScript error points to the line with the link.
