a4j:commandLink stops working after being reRender
I have created this test case that isolates my problem. The a4j:commandLink action is not executed once the poll does an ajax update. It is executed if we close the modalPanel before the reRender of the poll.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

TestBean is session scoped. Richfaces version 3.3.2.SR1
And also in Chrome 5.0.322.2 dev the modalPanel does not appear. It does under FF and IE7.
Answer
Try any combination of the following:
- move the
<a4j:form>outside the modal panel - set the
domElementAttachment(of the modal panel) attribute to eitherformorparent - try using
<h:form>
Try the following instead of <a4j:commandLink>:
<h:graphicImage value="/images/modal/close.png" styleClass="hidelink"
onclick="#{rich:component('examinationPanel')}.hide()" id="close" />
and use onhide="notifyClose()" on the modalPanel, where notifyClose() is defined using <a4j:jsFunction>. This is a bit of a workaround, but might work.
