JSF 2 not firing setter

My bean isn't firing my setter method and I can't figure out why.

Here's the import part of the xhtml

    <script type="text/javascript">
    function updateTextInput(val, box) {
        //document.getElementById(box).value=val; 
    }
</script>

Min value: </td><td><input type="range" name="minVal"    min="-100" max="200" onchange="updateTextInput(this.value, 'minValInput');"/><h:inputText id="minValInput" value="#{myClass.minVal}"></h:inputText>
<h:form><h:commandButton value="#{myClass.status}" action="welcome">

And here's my bean:

public class MyClass implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

private String status = "";
private int minVal = 0;

public String getStatus() {
  if(status == "") {
    status = "Start";
  }

  return status;
}

public void setStatus(String status) {
  this.status = status;
}

public int getMinVal() {
  System.out.println("*********************" + minVal);
  return minVal;
}

public void setMinVal(int minVal) {
  System.out.println("*********************" + minVal);
  this.minVal = minVal;
}

My command button getter and setter's fire fine, but from my output I can tell minVal's getters are executed twice while the setter is never executed. I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple here but can't quite figure it out. Does anyone see something I overlooked?

It's because your <h:inputText> isn't inside a <h:form>.

Unrelated to the concrete problem, JSF utility library OmniFaces allows you to use <h:inputText type="range"> instead and JSF component library PrimeFaces offers a <p:slider> to have a range input in jQuery UI look'n'feel. You may find it easier than fiddling around with plain HTML and JS.
