Maybe this problem is related to me not having a backing bean action
bound to the action and it is just the outcome of the action (see
below)? It might work with an action bound to a backing bean method
but I don't have any of those right now.
<h:commandLink action="products">Products</h:commandLink>
renders as
<a href="#"
onclick="clear_footerNavForm();document.forms['footerNavForm'].elements['autoScroll'].value=getScrolling();document.forms['footerNavForm'].elements['footerNavForm:_link_hidden_'].value='footerNavForm:_id17';if(document.forms['footerNavForm'].onsubmit){var
result=document.forms['footerNavForm'].onsubmit(); if( (typeof result
== 'undefined') || result )
{document.forms['footerNavForm'].submit();}}else{document.forms['footerNavForm'].submit();}return
false;" id="footerNavForm:_id17">Products</a>
