I'm not familiar with the "$("form1:ciao").refresh()" syntax. Don't you
use document.getElementById to obtain the HTML element, first? For example:
var domNode = document.getElementById("form1:ciao");
domNode.refresh();

What to you use for a component id?

No, you should set the id for every component.
Most likely, JSF Extensions (i.e., DynaFaces) could not find the given
id in the JSF component tree. It could be that you have not provided the
correct, fully qualified component id. Or, the button has not been added
to the JSF component tree when the Ajax request is made. If I recall,
you were using request scope beans, correct?
