rich:suggestionBox and validating within rich:modalPanel

[-arthur-]

Hello,

my first post here :)

I've got a use case where it would be great to have a form with rich:suggestionBox within a modalPanel.

I've found several issues doing this.

First of all there seems to be a bug with suggestionBox inside modalPanel.
The suggestion box doesn't appear next to the input field inside the modalPanel but anywhere in the darkened background. (IE7 and Firefox 2.0.3) Can anyone approve that?

Second:
How could i solve the problem with validating Data? If I use a normal h:commandButton the modalPanel disappears no matter if the data is valid or not. Thats clear, because of the full page refresh.
Would a full ajaxified form with a4j:commandButton solve this problem?

Thanks for your help and advices.

About your second problem.

You can use a4j:commandButton with attribute "data". If it will have value "true" (no error), you should close modalPanel. In the other case you should close it.

?ertainly, you must place h:messages component incide of modalPanel.

For iframe of suggestion - there is a bug already in our jira.

For validation - use a4j:region around ajax-ed button to limit the decode region and not to provide validation for the other content.

Very thanks for the fast replies! :)

Hi, im using richFaces 3.0.2-SNAPSHOT and Ajax4JSF 1.0.2-SNAPSHOT.

First of all there seems to be a bug with suggestionBox inside modalPanel.

Exactly the same problem now occurs again, after it worked for me for a while. (With early 3.0.1-SNAPSHOTs)
Is there already a jira issue for that?
