Description

Using JSCookMenu in a MyFaces+Trinidad project leads to some problems.

1) HtmlJSCookMenuRenderer tries to find the parent form searching for an UIForm component, but the Trinidad CoreForm doesn't extend UIForm. The enclosing so isn't recognized, and another dummyform gets rendered in the page.

2) HtmlJSCookMenuRenderer also call HtmlFormRendererBase.addHiddenCommandParameter to add an hidden fields, needed by JSCookMenu, in the form. That field however doesn't get rendered and a javascript error happens when trying to use the menu. This is probably caused by the Trinidad renderer that override the MyFaces one, and happens using either <h:form> or <af:form>.

Problem 1) also makes it impossible to use the <af:form>'s targetFrame feature to load the action result in another target/frame.
