Hello,
Let's consider following, simplified example:
we have 2 tabs withing , each tab has and at the moment we want to switch from one tab to another, and the inputText is empty (we dont want to submit value from it anyway, we want to go to another tab) we get "Validation Error: Value is required."
the example code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
>
<a4j:form
id="mainForm"
reRender="mainForm"
ajaxSubmit="true"
>
<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">
<rich:tab label="TabA" >
<a4j:region>
<h:outputText value="Tab A content" />
<h:inputText value="" required="true" />
</a4j:region>
</rich:tab>
<rich:tab label="TabB">
<a4j:region>
<h:outputText value="Tab B content" />
<h:inputText value="" required="true" />
</a4j:region>
</rich:tab>
</rich:tabPanel>
<rich:messages />
</a4j:form>
</html>
