ModalPanel default position

[carlhowarth]

Hello there - the modal panel used to open right in the centre of the screen, now it appears (in 3.1.4.GA) to start with the top left corner in the middle. I'm using a fixed, centered layout overall so am not able to specify absolute values for the desired position. Is there a way around this at all? Is it a bug?

Thanks! Carl

Yes, i encounter the same behaviour.
And we too, want it to open in the canter as before 3.1.4GA

Just to add to this - it works correctly in Firefox, but not IE 6....

Do you use the <a4j:commandButton> ?

I'm facing a similar issue.

A modal panel should be displayed in order to display faces messages and only if at least one is present. (rendered="#{! empty facesContext.maximumSeverity}")

This works fine as long as the previous request was an ajax one.. But if i use a <h:commandButton> it's positioned in the upper left corner...
Unfortunately i need to use the <h:commandButton> because there's a file upload inside.

In my case it works correctly on ie7 but not on firefox..

I think that must be a different problem - I launch the panels using an a4j:command link but changing it does not seem to make a difference. I've only tested in IE6 vs Firefox.

Ok, I see...

Btw, there is a similar thread:

Anyway maybe this helps somehow. My working code of the modal panel is as follows:

<rich:modalPanel id="#{dialogHtmlId}" rendered="#{rendered}" autosized="true" width="#{fwcWidth}"
 showWhenRendered="true">

The difference is maybe between opening the modal panel by onclick-js or by showWhenRendered...
