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.
