W tried the forms insid the tab set and it didn't work... The tabs do
need a form around them or they won't switch... So it is not really
behaving as I'm used to when dealing with tabs...

I wonder whether it would be possible to define a form "inside"
each tab
to
force a "partial" submit.
It just raises the question, whether the tabbed pane automatically
adds
a
form around the complete tab-widget, or just on the clickable tabs,...
From the usability I would argument, that the click on the tab
automatically should throw away the form-content on the tab,
because it
is not a form-related button (which should be below the input-fields).
And
ALL links (which includes the tabs outside the input-form) should be
considered as
form-unfriendly navigation => not submitting the form... This would
also
make it
possible to get rid of the Javascript on each link (no need to
submit a
form).

Ok... i guess that's then the expected behavior, just not what I
expected...
thanks!

well the tabbedPane always renders all components but just displays
only one tab. As it uses links it needs the form around the whole and
submits it in one piece...

I guess you meant server side tab switch... i tried that, but when I
use it, the action or action listener methods are never visited when
buttons are clicked... it is very messed up...
thanks!

Any clues?

It's been awhile since I used tabs, but I think if you use server-
side
tab switching, only the current tab will be rendered (and submitted
and validated).
If you use client-side tab switching, all tabs are rendered (but
hidden with javascript) and all tabs are submitted.

I have a MyFaces portlet with 5 or so tabs, each with its own

all

has a submit button clicked...
Is this really how it is supposed to be? I'm using MyFaces 114
Thanks!
