a4j:form ajaxSubmit=

andrew.rw.robinson Apr 3, 2007 11:14 AM

I am converting over my pages from AjaxAnywhere to A4J and I have been using Tomahawk controls. Instead of stopping using their controls (like t:commandSortHeader), I decided to try the <a4j:form ajaxSubmit="true"/>. I was testing in FireFox and all was happy, but when I tried IE6 nothing is working.

What seems to be happening is that the form is being submit by AJAX IE6 fine except that no actionListeners or actions are getting fired. It seems the decode phase isn't working for these controls. Since our software is supposed to only work on IE6 and soon IE7 this is a major problem for me.

In the "HtmlLinkRendererBase" code, there is the following:

String reqValue = (String) facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get(
HtmlRendererUtils.getHiddenCommandLinkFieldName(formInfo));

This returns null (reqValue == null) in IE6. As a result the code will never think the link has been clicked.

Any ideas?

IE6
MyFaces 1.1.5
Tomahawk 1.1.5 SNAPSHOT
A4J 1.1.0
Seam 1.1.6
Facelets 1.0.14

More information. Here is the request parameter map from IE6:
{zfpForm:_link_hidden_=, jsf_sequence=7, zfpForm=zfpForm, zfpForm:_idcl=null, zfpForm___jeniaPopupFrame=, ajaxZone=null, collapseKey=, AJAXREQUEST=_viewRoot, autoScroll=}

Here is the map when firefox sends it:
{zfpForm:_link_hidden_=, jsf_sequence=10, zfpForm=zfpForm, zfpForm:_idcl=zfpPanel:documentListTable:typeHeader, zfpForm___jeniaPopupFrame=, ajaxZone=documentListZone, collapseKey=, AJAXREQUEST=_viewRoot, autoScroll=}

looks like a bug in the client-side script

The problem is already described before.
It is the same problem as here:

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/AJSF-16

And here is also the same problem
http://jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=104474

The problem is the script from myfaces which has some javascript
statements after form submit which resets the important hidden fields.
Only IE6 executes this statements. Realy stupid.
Look at my comment I added to the above JIRA-Problem

the same problem occurs with commandSortHeader.
Will be there a HtmlSortHeaderRenderer wrapper from ajax4jsf?
