</rich:popupPanel>

Answer 1

you are facing problem how rich:popupPanel is generated on page, when you try to find his ID via firebug on page you will realize that is not in form any longer on client but was generated outside of form! Only solution is to make sure that h:form is always inside of rich:popupPanel not outside. Please try and let me know.
