I have a page loaded from a button on a custom object to create an email. It renders the body and subject from an email template and displays the results for possible edit with a rich text field. I have two potential templates and I created radio buttons to select the appropriate template. If a different template is picked, I want to re-display the subject and body data for the selected template merged with the current data record. I coded everything to rerender the body section, but got the error cannot rerender a rich text object.
I was thinking a workaround would be to close the page and reload it. If the template is changed, the new template value is stored in the data record so it would be a simple matter to reload the page with the new template. My issue is that I cannot determine the correct method to close the current page from the controller and initiate the same page to reload on the same record. I've done quite a bit of VF recently, but some of the basic concepts still are not quite clear. Any help is appreciated.
