thank you Laurie for your reply.

I made a type - its str not the Note. so the str is null :-(

when I remove the theme="ajax" it works fine. BUT I need it there (the idea
that the form will disappear once the action is completed).

how do I get the value of the str? rrrrrr :-(
I've been trying different variation - nothing! 

thanks for any pointer!
