modal panel problem - "ModalPanel is undefined"

[carlhowarth]

Hello there,

I have been using the modal panel successfully, but have just come across an untraceable (for me at least!) error. In IE, if I leave a page that is using the modal panel using a bog-standard navigation rule I get 'ModalPanel is undefined' in the javascript error log. or 'ModalPanel is not defined' in firefox. The modal panel displays as I would expect other than the header has disappeared (on only one page) and in the debug I get 'No streamable resources found for request: 52 resourceUri: 52/header.css'.

I have moved the panel out of the main form as I need to submit data within it and it has been working without an issue until now. Can anybody steer me in the right direction? Am I doing something wrong? I'm using the snapshot version '3.0.1-20070424.001123-35'.

Any ideas please anybody?

It will be usefull to see your page and get info about versions JSF/ RF you've used.

And do not forget to try the latest library version.

 <ui:define name="body">
 <f:verbatim>
 <a href="javascript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('_panel',{left:'auto', top:'auto'})">
 Show Modal Panel
 </a>
 </f:verbatim>
 <rich:modalPanel id="_panel">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="test"></h:outputText>
 </f:facet>
 <h:form id="mpform">
 <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
 <h:messages id="error"></h:messages>
 </a4j:outputPanel>
 <h:inputText value="#{bean.property}" required="true"></h:inputText>
 <a4j:commandLink value="click" oncomplete="windowclose();"
 reRender="test" />
 </h:form>
 </rich:modalPanel>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 //<![CDATA[
 function windowclose(){
 if (document.getElementById('mpform:error')==null){
 Richfaces.hideModalPanel('_panel');
 };
 };

 //]]>
 </script>
 <h:form>
 <h:commandButton action="inputname" value="main"></h:commandButton>
 </h:form>
 </ui:define>

For example this code works fine for me.

I got this problem if I had a clickable row in a rich:dataTable that fired an action listener to register the row clicked and then forwarded to another page to display the detail for that row.

The reason was because I didn't have a tag in my navigation rule in Faces-config.xml

Weirdly, it only produced the javascript error 'ModalPanel is undefined' in IE, not Firefox....

Maybe this will help someone :-)

Regarding the post above it should say 'redirect' tag

(the chevrons were taken out)

[paulo5]

oh....and also it was an action controller not an action listener :-)

I wish it would let me edit my posts :-)

It would be better to paste simple code example of your use case.
