Partial Update stripping HTML

[chaddaniels]

I am having a problem where a partial update is stripping HTML <div> elements from the updated container.

The update is coming from a <p:menuitem> as shown below:

Code: Select all

<p:menuButton value="Actions" styleClass="menuButton">
    <p:menuitem id="include_selected" value="Include Selected" label=""
         action="#{Bean.includeAllAction}"
         update="thePanel"/>
</p:menuButton>

and the panel that is going to be updated looks like:

Code: Select all

<p:outputPanel id="thePanel">
    <div> <!-- This DIV seems to disappear, but its contents are fine -->
        <!-- Some content that gets updated correctly -->
    </div>
</p:outputPanel>

The problem is that the <div> element completely disappears, but its contents remain.

I guess I should also mention that I am using RichFaces 3.3.2 SR1 as well, and the exact JSF version is Mojarra (1.2_14-b01-FCS).

It is a known issue that unfortunately RichFaces prevents PrimeFaces to update plain html in partial output.

Is this something that can ever be fixed for future releases?

There are no plans, still this does not happen with JSF and PrimeFaces2.

That's great to know since I will be switching to PrimeFaces 2 as soon as RichFaces 4 is ready. Thanks!

I also strongly suggest migrating to PrimeFaces2 and JSF2 as well, although featureset of PrimeFaces 1.x and 2.x are similar, there are limitations like these. Besides JSF 2.0 is very cool
