Starting a richfaces:ModelPanel outside of a button or other link

[gbadavidson]

I want to display a model dialog when a validation error occurs, (i.e. Password and confirm password do not match). I have looked through the documentation and I do not see anyway of doing this. I have figured out how to use the "Action" to call for new page which holds the ModelPanel and I have inserted the JS to open the panel but I'd rather have some what of opening the panel directly from the registration page. Could someone point me to some documentation that shows how to accompish this?

Thanks

hi,

anywhere in your page you can call richfaces.showmodal.

<script>
Richfaces.showModalPanel('infoExpressModal',{})
</script>

for your problem use this,

<a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
     <rich:modalPanel id="modalErr" width="400" height="118" zindex="4000"
               showWhenRendered="#{not (facesContext.maximumSeverity==null)}">

          ..........

         </rich:modalPanel>

</a4j:outputPanel>

hope this can help

Liu,

Thanks!! I have the model panel popping up perfectly!!! I used the Richfaces.Showmodelpanel attribute with a boolean value from a managed bean. It worked exactly as I wanted it to.

Thanks again!
