What is scope of rerender?

I have 3 tabs on my page. When i say "Edit" on one tab (using apex:commandLink), i want to render the details of a record on another tab.
But I'm having trouble getting the other tab's pageblocksections to rerender.
Does the rerender have a scope criteria?


Thanks!

Hi Cindy,

There is no scope of rerender it only depends on the id of the item. rerender directly doesn't work with pageblocksection so you need to put that pageblocksection in any outputpanel and then pass id of that outputpanel in rerender attribute. so for example
  
<apex:pageblocksection id="pgblk">
//your code here


</apex:pageblocksection>


<apex:actionfunction id="actfunction" rerender="pgblk,panelblk"/>


//this will work
<apex:outputpanel id="panelblk">
<apex:pageblocksection id="pgblk"> //your code here 
</apex:pageblocksection>
</apex:outputpanel>


can you please post your code as well so that we can see if there is any other issue.
