Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately I can't do Bauke's suggestion since the design is rather specific in its placement of the buttons.
I tried out ali's suggestion, and it seems to not work as expected. I made the continue button's id "submit", but it still triggers the "Back" commandButton.
So it looks like I'm down to trying Anu's suggestion, or some variant of it. Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions.
[EDIT]
Anyone have any good resources (links, etc.) for doing the kind of thing Anu is suggesting? I haven't "taken the plunge" yet with embedding JavaScript into my
JSF pages yet (other than what gets automatically generated) - is that a really daunting task or is it fairly straightforward?
[/EDIT]
Thanks again!
