dcarmen66 Visualforce page with multiple components - partial page refresh
I have a visualforce page with two components. One component queries for data for an Account and Opportunity. The other component is a "date picker" component (allows for the selection of the date, time, and duration) and has a partial page refresh. If the date picker component is on a page by itself (commenting out the first component) the partial page refresh works correctly. With both components on the page, the refresh does not work. Is this a limitation of Visualforce?
After further testing, I determined it was because the other component on the page had a required field. As long as the required field was filled in, everything worked fine. Because of the partial page refresh, the error message wasn't displayed. Not sure if there's a good way around this, but at least I know why it was occurring and I added a message to the page so the users know they have to have the required fields filled in first.

Slight update to this - the partial page refresh in the second component does work if a field in the first component is modified first.
We've done this kind of thing in the past without issue. Can you post your Visualforce?

You can use actionregion to get around this - it effectively divides up the form and only posts back the fields that relate to the link/button that has been clicked.
Thanks! I missed that tag in my reading. That helps a lot.
