    <p>I'm using PF 3.5 and JSF Mojarra 2.1.</p> <p>I have a dialog which I want to use appendToBody=true. This usually results in "unpredictable behavior" though.</p> <p>Basically what the dialog does is, when I choose an entry (a persn entity) from a datatable, it gives me filled up input boxes which I can edit, thus editing the particular entry (person details).</p> <p>Sometimes the input boxes get filled up properly with the entries data. Sometimes they dont. This behavior does not happen with appendToBody=false. Aside from that I'm pretty sure there are no nested forms.</p> <p>As you will notice I am trying out a "One page design" with purely ajax navigation.</p> <p>Main page (index.xhtml)</p> <pre><code>&lt;h:body&gt; &lt;pe:layout id="page" fullPage="true"&gt; &lt;!-- North --&gt; &lt;pe:layoutPane id="north" position="north" minSize="140" closable="true" resizable="false"&gt; .... &lt;/pe:layoutPane&gt; &lt;!-- West --&gt; &lt;pe:layoutPane id="west" position="west" minWidth="150" size="180" style="font-size: 14px !important;" closable="true" styleClassHeader="menuBar" resizable="false"&gt; &lt;f:facet name="header"&gt;Main Menu&lt;/f:facet&gt; &lt;h:form id="form1"&gt; &lt;p:panelMenu id="panelMenu" style="width: 160px !important"&gt; &lt;!-- On menu click update with Ajax centerpanel and msgPanel --&gt; &lt;p:submenu label="Persons" style="font-size: 10px "&gt; &lt;p:menuitem value="Person List" update=":centerpanel" actionListener="#{layout.setAll('formPersonList.xhtml', 'Person List')}" action="#{person.init()}"&gt; &lt;/p:menuitem&gt; &lt;/p:submenu&gt; ..... &lt;/p:panelMenu&gt; &lt;/h:form&gt; &lt;/pe:layoutPane&gt; &lt;!-- Center --&gt; &lt;pe:layoutPane id="content" position="center" style="font-size: 14px !important" styleClassHeader="menuBar"&gt; &lt;h:panelGroup id="centerpanel" layout="block"&gt; &lt;ui:include id="include" src="#{layout.navigation}" /&gt; &lt;/h:panelGroup&gt; &lt;/pe:layoutPane&gt; &lt;/pe:layout&gt; </code></pre> <p>The dialog is in a file formPersonList.xhtml and is outside the form</p> <pre><code>&lt;ui:composition ....&gt; &lt;h:form id="mainForm"&gt; &lt;p:contextMenu for="personTable"&gt; &lt;p:menuitem value="View Details" process="@form" actionListener="#{person.handleSelectedPerson()}" update=":dlgPersonGrp" oncomplete="dlgPerson.show();"&gt; &lt;/p:menuitem&gt; &lt;/p:contextMenu&gt; &lt;p:dataTable id="personTable ....&gt; ....person entities &lt;/p:dataTable&gt; &lt;/h:form&gt; &lt;p:dialog widgetVar="dlgPerson" showEffect="size" width="1100" appendToBody="true"&gt; &lt;h:panelGroup id="dlgPersonGrp"&gt; &lt;ui:include src="formPerson.xhtml" /&gt; &lt;/h:panelGroup&gt; &lt;/p:dialog&gt; &lt;/ui:composition&gt; </code></pre> <p>Finally, the form with the input boxes: formPerson.xhtml</p> <pre><code>&lt;ui:composition ....&gt; &lt;h:form id ="subForm"&gt; ....Input boxes that are supposed to be filled up from a backing bean and then resubmitted to edit the chosen entry &lt;/h:form&gt; &lt;/ui:composition&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have tried to dumb it down as much as possible. Let me know if you need more detail.</p>

    1. COYou have no form for your dialog. This is first big red light.

    2. COThe form is in formPerson.xhtml which is included inside the dialog (the last code section). It is the id = "subForm". I assume that works as the dialog form, unless it should also be outside the panelgroup.

    3. COBut you have appendToBody="true", so you need a form. Anyway, something is not in order with the code you have posted, because you would have form in form, which is illegal and will not function.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
