    a bug in modalPanel that <h:commandButton action won't take

    vh

      I have such a mocalPanel:

      <h:form id="vdWizardForm">
      <rich:modalPanel id="addDesktopMp" minHeight="280" minWidth="300"
      height="400" width="1000" zindex="2000">
      <f:facet id="modalHeader" name="header">
      <h:outputText id="modalTitle" value="#{bundle.AddDesktop}" />
      </f:facet>
      <h:panelGroup id="wizard">
      <a4j:include id="includeId" viewId="/pages/desktop/addDesktopType.xhtml"/>
      </h:panelGroup>
      </rich:modalPanel>
      </h:form>

      in the included addDesktopType.xhtml, I have such a button
      <h:commandButton value="more" action="#{desktopBean.test}"/>

      the test() method did get called, and it just return a string "cancel", the navigation doesn't happen.
      But if I hard code the string in the xhtml file, the navigation happens:

      <h:commandButton value="more" action="cancel"/>

      If I move the commandButton out of the include file, it also works.
      Any idea?

          do you need to navigate inside the included window or close it and make navigation?

            In the last step of the wizard (in the included page), if the action succeed, I want the action method to return a string to make the page navigate to the first step, if fail, I want to return a different string to make the page stay in the current page.

              Oh.. sorry missed from your code - your panel with
              any action components inside should have a form inside to be submitted. And it should be placed outside from external form in this case.

                    Please repeat your snipet using code blocks to avoid loosed parts of your code. Thanks!

                    And again - anyway you need to have form element inside your modal and the modal shouldn't be inside external one form

                        Ok and I think the last question I missed to ask about your environment. I'll start to write the example for you now.
