Damien_ Displaying VisualForce page from PageLayout in another VisualForce page with <apex:detail>
I have a Visualforce Page that displays the Opportunities.
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" tabStyle="Opportunity" extensions="OpportunityViewExtension">
<apex:form >
<apex:detail id="mylists" relatedList="true" showChatter="true" relatedListHover="true" />
....
</apex:page>
One of the fields from the PageLayout is another Visualforce Page.
<apex:page standardcontroller="Opportunity" extensions="OpportunityFinancialsEditor">
<style>
body{background-color:rgb(243, 243, 236);}
</style>
<apex:form >
<apex:pageblock>
<apex:pagemessages />
<apex:pageblocktable value="{!grid}" var="row">
...
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
When this gates displayed on my Visualforce Page it simply makes the section blank with scrollbars. When I display the Page using InternetExplorer it does the same thing, but also tells me there is an error saying that a reference in my Visualforce page that is displayed on the page layout is null.
I fixed this by moving the <apex:detail> outside of the <apex:form>
<apex:detail />
<apex:form>
....
</apex:form>

The error internet explorer gives when I open this page is:
Error: 'document.forms.echoScontrolForm_066300000009GGb' is null or not an object
and I'm pretty sure this is a reference to the field that is actually an embedded Visualforce page.
I fixed this by moving the <apex:detail> outside of the <apex:form>
<apex:detail />
<apex:form>
....
</apex:form>
Did anyone find a resolution to this that doesn't require moving the <apex:detail> tag outside of the <apex:form> section?
Spring 11 released inLine editing. If you want to do inline editing, you need to have your <apex:detail> tag inside an <apex:form>.
FYI - SF Moderator Stephan has stated that this will be fixed in Summer 11 in another thread.
This error still happens in Summer '12 if your <apex:detail> is within the <apex:form> tags. You can move the <apex:detail> out from within the <apex:form> tags and the VisualForce page will show up, and inline editing will still work.
