          Issue Type: Bug

    <h:panelGrid columns="2">
       <h:outputText value="Text:" />
       <h:inputText value="#{echoBean.text}" >
          <a4j:ajax event="keyup" 
		  
					onbeforesubmit="alert('beforesubmit')"
					onbegin="alert('begin')"
					onbeforedomupdate="alert('beforedomupdate')"
					oncomplete="alert('complete')"
					
		  render="text,count" listener="#{echoBean.countListener}"/>
  	   </h:inputText>
  	<h:outputText value="Echo:" />
  	<h:outputText id="text" value="#{echoBean.text}" />
    <h:outputText value="Count:" />
    <h:outputText id="count" value="#{echoBean.count}" />
   </h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</ui:composition>

The alerts for onbeforedomupdate and oncomplete do not appear in a portal environment; they do in a non-portal web environment. 

The Ajax XML response in a non portal web environment contains the tag <extension id="org.richfaces.extension"> with the Javascript code from the named attributes.

But, in a portal environment the id gets prefixed like i.e. <extension id="A3331org.richfaces.extension">

In fact Richfaces asks for this prefix in richfaces-core-api-4.0.0.Final-sources : org.richfaces.renderkit.util.CoreAjaxRendererUtils.java
line 96 by calling facesContext.getExternalContext().encodeNamespace(EXTENSION_ID))
In a Servlet environment this leaves EXTENSION_ID = "org.richfaces.extension" unchanged, but in a Portlet environment its function is to
"Return the specified name, after prefixing it with a namespace that ensures that it will be unique within the context of a particular page" (quoted from Javadoc).

Only, the Javascript meant to react on the extension tag is hardcoded to react on the ID "org.richfaces.extension" only without any prefix:
META-INF/resources/richfaces.js line 333 :

	var getExtensionResponseElement = function(responseXML) {
		return jQuery("partial-response extension#org\\.richfaces\\.extension", responseXML);
	};

So, in a Portlet environment the partial-response/extension is ignored due to the prefixed ID.

A possible solution might be to have the Javascript accept any prefix in front of the ID, like:

	var getExtensionResponseElement = function(responseXML) {
		return jQuery("partial-response extension[id$='org\\.richfaces\\.extension']", responseXML);
	};
