Modal panel vanishes after being displayed

[artmooney]

Hi, I tried to move a call to a modal panel from a a4j:commandLink into a menu. But the panel vanishes after being displayed

Call from commandLink:
<a4j:commandLink id="deleteInvoice2"
value="#{I18nBean['1.10004']}" onclick="deleteSelectedInvoices()" />

Call from menu:
<rich:menuItem id="deleteInvoice"
value="#{I18nBean['1.10004']}" onselect="deleteSelectedInvoices()" />


JS stub:
<a4j:jsFunction name="deleteSelectedInvoices" reRender="confirm_delete_wrapper"
actionListener="#{invoice.updateSelection}"
oncomplete="Richfaces.showModalPanel('confirm_delete', {width :600, top :230});" />

Any ideas?

seems you modal in include. currently we have a known problem with such cases and there is a workaround:

I am using ui:include for including the panel.
The question is: Why does it work when called via the commandLink and not when called via the menu.

Does something special happen when a menu item is clicked?

submitMode="none" solves the problem!!

:-)))

<rich:menuGroup id="mecBoxActions" value="#{I18nBean['1.10002']}" >
<rich:menuItem id="deleteInvoice" ajaxSingle="true"
value="#{I18nBean['1.10004']}" onselect="deleteSelectedInvoices()" submitMode="none"/>

define submitMode as ajax or none in order to show modal. in default "server" mode it will not be opened correctly because of full page reload.

this form does not warn if the new posts exist before submit :)
