Autocompleter behaviour with "multi-staged" page
I am running into some strange behaviour with the Autocompleter component.
Say I have a page with two stages -- i.e., I submit a form on the first page
and it reloads the same page but shows a different part -- and I have an
autocompleter on the second stage, it will not work unless I persist the
'stage' flag.
I currently have the stage flag stored in a hidden field on the forms in
both the first and second stages. While this has worked fine for every other
part of my form, the autocompleter doesn't seem to like it.
This may seem vague, so hopefully the source shown below will clear things
up. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this _without_ having to
persist the stage flag? Thanks!

RE: Autocompleter behaviour with "multi-staged" page
Posted by Peter Beshai <pb...@hotmail.com>.
Whoops, typo int he HTML file. should read <div id="wrapper"> not <div
jwcid="wrapper">
Nonetheless, I have decided to use the @Persist as my solution.
@Persist("session") was undesirable, but @Persist("flash") will do the trick
for now. Although I still don't understand why I need it. :-(
