I've run into an "interesting" situation (interesting in that it's had me
cursing my computer for two days). I've got a page which uses a remote
<div> to load a form. The form uses the ajax theme and a submit button with
executeScripts="true". The returned script tells the page to reload a new
form within that same div. So far so good.
The second form operates identically. It uses the ajax theme and, again, a
submit button with executeScripts="true". The problem is that the second
form submission results in a full page reload (rather than a reload of only
the nested div via an XMLHTTPRequest).
Has anyone else run into this? Is there something about the event-binding
model which causes the second form submission to *not* bind to an event that
should execute the request via an XMLHTTPRequest?
I've included the relevant bits of code needed to reproduce this problem
below.
