As you can see, I perform a GET request on the AddressComponent directly, I think that is where I'm wrong, because doing this does get AddressComponent as the root component where it was a subcomponent before, the text field names are completely out of context once the DIV is reloaded.
The solution was quite simple, I just had to configure the "name" binding to a unique string in the form. WebObjects is no longer responsible of the field uniqueness, but every bindings still works.

I guess this is a traditionnal question about webobjects, but I did not find an answer in the archives and AJAX frameworks I found are poorly documented, since I am a beginner, I did not succeed to use them.

The problem is quite simple, I have a page containing :
- 1 WOPopUpButton with a list of 60+ countries
- 1 DIV containig WOTextFields with the address parts for the chosen country (City, state, Zip, etc...)

This div is a WOComponent (AddressComponent) I call in my page, with an "address" binding, according to the country set in the address, it diplays the different field for that country. The reason why I'm doing this is that I want to avoid reloading the whole page, I want my site to be the very ergonomic, and I want to be able to dynamically reload DIV containins dynamic WO elements.

When the page is initially requested, it embed the AddressComponent, and everything works fine, I can submit the form and bindings are fully functionnal.

Then I change the country, the changeCountry method is called (see javascript attached at the end of the mail).

As you can see, I perform a GET request on the AddressComponent directly, I think that is where I'm wrong, because doing this does get AddressComponent as the root component where it was a subcomponent before, the text field names are completely out of context once the DIV is reloaded.

For example, this text field in the original page
<input size="15" type="text" name="7.6.1.4.0.CityComponent">

becomes :
<input size="15" type="text" name="1.4.0.CityComponent">

I hope things are a bit clearer and you will be able to help me :-)

                var div_handle = document.getElementById("address");
                if(div_handle){
                        div_handle.innerHTML =''+http.responseText;
                        alert(http.responseText);
