--------------------------------------------------

Hellow Benno, i am newbie in JBoss comunity. 
Benno, i am facing the same problem that you reported above (in June 2008). 
I mean, If i use the <a4j:support event="onkeyup" focus="thisInput" reRender="otherInput, thisInput">, after de Ajax reRendering, the whole text in "thisInput"  is selected. The problem is, when the user press another keyboard key, he looses the previous text. I need, before Ajax response, that the focus remains in "thisInput" field, but without selecting the whole text. I tried several approaches, without using the focus attribute and trying to put the focus using JQuery, but it seems the DOM refresh (reRendering) occurs before or in the same time the Ajax response. Is there a workaround for this ? Using JQuery, JSF 2.0, Richfaces 3.3.3... The strategie doesn't matter, i would like to solve this issue in my application. Best Regards.

> 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.
