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!
