how to show modalPanel dynamically?

[renatohonjo]

Hi, I'm having some troubles to perform an action before showing a modal panel...

<h:commandLink value="Link">
 <a4j:support action="#{AnyManagedBean.anyAction}"
 event="onclick" reRender="panel"
 oncomplete="javascript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('panel');" />
</h:commandLink>
...
<rich:modalPanel id="panel">
 ...
</rich:modalPanel>

Is that another way?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the action goes fine and the modal panel is shown for a few seconds...

This is not working to...

<h:outputLink value="#">
 <h:outputText value="Link" />
 <a4j:support action="#{AnyManagedBean.anyAction}"
 event="onclick" reRender="panel"
 oncomplete="javascript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('panel');" />
</h:outputLink>
...
<rich:modalPanel id="panel">
 ...
</rich:modalPanel>

The action goes fine... but nothing is shown...

I have the same problem, i have a modalPanel, in which there is a rich:scrollableDataTable, with an action it causes a new modalpanel.
Problem is:
the new modalpanel shows only the first selcted row. can not be rerendered.

 <a4j:commandButton value="Create User" action="#{userManagementDialogBean.createUser}" />
 <a4j:commandButton value="Change User" action="#{userManagementDialogBean.takeSelection}"
 oncomplete="Richfaces.showModalPanel('changeUserId')" reRender="userInfoId" ajaxSubmit="true" />
 <br/>
</ui:composition>

the code of the new modalpanel

<a4j:outputPanel id="userInfoId">
 <h:panelGrid columns="2">
 <h:outputLabel value="Name" for="nameId" />
 <h:inputText id="nameId" value="#{userManagementDialogBean.selectedUser.name}" />

 <h:inputSecret id="npwId" value="#{userManagementDialogBean.newPwd}" required="true" />
 <h:outputLabel value="Re-type" for="rpwId" />
 <h:inputSecret id="rpwId" required="true" >
 <f:validator validatorId="passwordValidator" />
 <f:attribute name="passwordId" value="j_id766:j_id769:npwId" />
 </h:inputSecret>
 <h:message for="rpwId" style="color: red;"/>
 </h:panelGrid>
 </a4j:outputPanel>
