Thanks for the detailed explanation of the different message elements, I'd seen some hefty lumps of markup which seem a little OTT for their purpose, but I guess it's a case of supporting the lowest common denominator with regards to browsers.Matt Laceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07254148667338147404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061740313877866897.post-83190547933141702362011-12-17T08:21:19.538+11:002011-12-17T08:21:19.538+11:00Nice investigation Matt!
To answer you question, ...Nice investigation Matt!<br /><br />To answer you question, and are two different implementations: the former renders messages as ul/li elements and the latter a table of messages. In fact 's table is wrapped in a div. A div, when used inside a p tag, will actually close the p tag. So, what's happening here is that when the re-rendered response is applied to the DOM, the p tag is closed and everything after the message div is moved outside of the "thePanel" span. Subsequent re-render responses only replace the "thePanel" element which, again, doesn't contain the label and input element and the elements are applied to as mentioned. The label and input elements are re-added, not replaced.<br /><br />The take away here is that Visualforce needs better tooling to include HTML validation.Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10713177184789708327noreply@blogger.com
