I have a JSF page with a few fields. I followed this tutorial from BalusC and all is good. I then added RichFaces support to it, which is working fine. I can see popups etc working.
Now what I am trying to do is that once a person has been registered, I want to show the name in the popup (this is also fine I can see that in the popup). Then I want to be able to change that name inside the popup and have that reflected in the parent, but I have no clue how to do that. Please have a look.
