VF Page - Can't Load Page w/o Id

I'm attempting to create a new VF page with the Quote object, but am seeing the following error when I load my page without an Id defined:

 

Invalid parameter value "" for parameter "id". 

 

 

My VF page is the first step of a wizard to create the quote, so obviously this is a problem.  If I load the page with a valid Quote Id, then the page loads fine.

 

Any thoughts on this?  Is there something specific to the Quote object that won't allow me to work with it in a similar manner to other objects?

I think the issue is with this one:

 

 

<apex:inputField value="{!quote.Opportunity.Id}" id="oppId" required="true" />

 
 try change to
 
 
<apex:inputField value="{!quote.OpportunityId}" id="oppId" required="true" />

I think you're going to have to post code for this one.

Here is some basic code - no extension used, just trying to create a new Quote.  If I try to load this page (/apex/quoteWizardTest), I get the error listed after the code.
 
Code:
 
<apex:page standardController="Quote" title="Quote Wizard">
    <apex:form id="theForm">  
    
        <apex:pageBlock title="Quote Wizard - Step 1: Basic Information">
            <apex:pageMessages />

            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"  />
                <apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel" />            
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
    
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Essential Information" columns="2">
                <apex:inputField value="{!quote.Name}" required="true" />

                <apex:inputField value="{!quote.Opportunity.Id}" id="oppId" required="true" />
             </apex:pageBlockSection>
    

            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Other Details" columns="1" >
    
                <apex:inputField value="{!quote.Quote_Date__c}" style="width: 300px" />
                <apex:inputField value="{!quote.ExpirationDate}" style="width: 300px" />
                <apex:inputField value="{!quote.Currency__c}" style="width: 300px" />
                <apex:inputField value="{!quote.Terms__c}"/>
                <apex:inputField value="{!quote.uptime_Support_Rep_Details__c}" style="width: 300px" />
                <apex:inputField value="{!quote.uptime_Support_Rep_Email__c}" style="width: 300px" />

            </apex:pageBlockSection>

        </apex:pageBlock>     

    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
 
 Error:
 
 
Invalid parameter value "" for parameter "id".

Error: The value of the parameter specified above contains a character that is not allowed or the value exceeds the maximum allowed length. Remove the character from the parameter value or reduce the value length and re-submit. If the error still persists, please report it to our Customer Support team and provide the URL of the page you were requesting as well as any other related information. 
 
Thus, I cannot load this VF page to even begin creating a new record.  By comparison, using a similar VF Page for the Contact object yields no such error:
 
 
<apex:page standardController="Contact"  title="Contact">
    <apex:form id="theForm">  

        <apex:pageBlock title="Contact Information">
            <apex:pageMessages />
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"  />
                <apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel" />            
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>


            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Contact Information " columns="2"  >
                <apex:inputField value="{!contact.FirstName}" required="true" />
                <apex:inputField value="{!contact.LastName}" required="true" />

                <apex:inputField value="{!contact.Salutation}"  />
                <apex:inputField value="{!contact.ContactType__c}"  />
            </apex:pageBlockSection>

        </apex:pageBlock>     

    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Yeah, that was it, I figured it out a few hours before seeing your post :)
