Could not display Alert component in Visualweb JSP page

Question

Hi All,
I am having difficulty getting the Ajax Autovalidation Alert Component to work in Netbeans Visualweb 6.5 on Windows XP with the following steps:
( i ) Set autoValidate attribute of firstnametextField and lastnametextField to "true" from property windows of Page1.jsp.
( ii ) Drag the Alert component of Page1.jsp and modified it's default id attribute to "form1:autoValidateAlert". Some how Netbeans change this attribute in the property window to "form1_autoValidateAlert" instead.
( iii ) Add notify="form1:autoValidateAlert" to Page1.jsp file for both firstnametextField and lastnametextField as follows:
<jsp:root version="2.1" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:webuijsf="http://www.sun.com/webui/webuijsf">
    <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"/>
    <f:view>
        <webuijsf:page id="page1">
            <webuijsf:html id="html1">
                <webuijsf:head id="head1">
                    <webuijsf:link id="link1" url="/resources/stylesheet.css"/>
                </webuijsf:head>
                <webuijsf:body id="body1" style="-rave-layout: grid">
                    <webuijsf:form id="form1">
                        <webuijsf:button actionExpression="#{Page1.button1_action}" binding="#{Page1.button1}" id="button1"
                            style="left: 130px; top: 144px; position: absolute" text="Submit"/>
                        <webuijsf:textField autoValidate="true" binding="#{Page1.firstNametextField}" columns="10" id="firstNametextField" label="First Name"
                            notify="form1:autoValidateAlert" required="true" style="left: 52px; top: 48px; position: absolute" text="#{SessionBean1.page1FirstName}"/>
                        <webuijsf:textField binding="#{Page1.middleNametextField}" columns="10" id="middleNametextField" label="Middle Name"
                            style="left: 47px; top: 71px; position: absolute" text="#{SessionBean1.page1MiddleName}"/>
                        <webuijsf:textField autoValidate="true" binding="#{Page1.lastNametextField}" columns="10" id="lastNametextField" label="Last Name"
                            notify="form1:autoValidateAlert" required="true" style="left: 53px; top: 94px; position: absolute" text="#{SessionBean1.page1LastName}"/>
                        <webuijsf:dropDown id="salutationdropDown" items="#{Page1.salutationdropDownDefaultOptions.options}" label="Salutation"
                            selected="#{SessionBean1.page1Salution}" style="left: 75px; top: 118px; position: absolute"/>
                        <webuijsf:alert id="autoValidateAlert" style="position: absolute; left: 96px; top: 216px"/>
                    </webuijsf:form>
                </webuijsf:body>
            </webuijsf:html>
        </webuijsf:page>
    </f:view>
</jsp:root>However, the Alert Component does not pop up after leaving First Name or Last Name text field blank prior to entering the field such as middlenametextField...
Your suggestion would appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack
