I wonder whether it would be possible to define a form "inside" each tab to force a "partial" submit. It just raises the question, whether the tabbed pane automatically adds a form around the complete tab-widget, or just on the clickable tabs,...
>From the usability I would argument, that the click on the tab automatically should throw away the form-content on the tab, because it is not a form-related button (which should be below the input-fields). And ALL links (which includes the tabs outside the input-form) should be considered as form-unfriendly navigation => not submitting the form... This would also make it possible to get rid of the Javascript on each link (no need to submit a form). regards Alexander -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Wallace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 11:08 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: why tab pane submits/validates all tabs Ok... i guess that's then the expected behavior, just not what I expected... thanks!
