The following works. If the commandButton is pressed when the inputText control is empty, the update method is not invoked because [EMAIL PROTECTED] = true.
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:inputText id="test" required="true"/>
<x:message for="test" />
<h:commandButton action="#{waterbdyBacker.update}" />
</h:form>
</f:view>
<iframe name="iframe" ></iframe>
If I set h:[EMAIL PROTECTED] = 'iframe', validation is ignored
and the form is submitted to the iframe. Ideas?
