Pass values from context menu to modal panel

[cesarp]

Hi,

I have a question, is it possible to pass values from my context menu to a modal panel?

Taking the example from the documentation

 <rich:menuItem ajaxSingle="true">

 <b>{car} {model}</b> details

 <a4j:actionParam name="det" assignTo="#{ddmenu.current}" value="{car} {model} details"/>

 </rich:menuItem>

How can I pass the {car} and {model} values to a modal panel? I know how to pass parameters to the modal panel but if in the parameters I do something like:

Richfaces.showModalPanel('panelId', {left: auto}, {param1: {car}});

the code does not work.

thanks

1) using ajax menuItem you may pass you params to server, renrender your modal and show it to oncomplete.

2) pass it as it shown on your second code snippet. Then you could access the params using events.parameters. syntax in onshow JS handler to assign to some field or variable.

events.parameters.<paramname> syntax.
