Refreshing dropdownchoice that is ajax enabled

[Muro Copenhagen <co...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a small problem i hope someone has an answer for.

I have a textfield that can only be visible when a certain dropdownchoice
option is selected....

My code is as:
            // special doctor info
            final TextField infoField = new TextField("info");
            infoField .setOutputMarkupId(true);
            infoField .setOutputMarkupPlaceholderTag(true);
            add(infoField.setVisible(false));

            DropDownChoice dropDownChoice = new
EDropDownChoice("departments", new Model(department) {

                @Override
                public Department getObject() {
                    return department;
                }

                @Override
                public void setObject(Serializable object) {
                    if (object != null) {
                        department = (Department) object;
                    }
                }
            }, departmentService.getAll(), new ChoiceRenderer("department",
"id"));

            dropDownChoice.add(new
AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior("onchange") {

                protected void onUpdate(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
                    infoField.setVisible(department.equals("test"));
                    target.addComponent(infoField);
                }
            });
            add(dropDownChoice);


It all works fine, except on browser refresh.

The problem occurs when the choice "test" is selected, the textfield gets
visible.
Then if i refresh the browser the textfield dissappears...

But if i submit the form before refreshing the textfield that is visible
will not dissappear.

Can anyone explain why the textfield dissappears ?

Best Regards
