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

[Ilya Shaikovsky (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-3632?page=all ]

Ilya Shaikovsky resolved RF-3632.
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected

Works as it should. Client side a4j mechanism knows nothing about new content that will be inserted instead of old one and focuses that was before.

BUT, as we already described it you could use focus attribute on any ajax component in order to define the component that should get focus after ajax responce.

> 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.
