How can I programmatically open a modal panel?

[lstates]

All of a sudden randomly modal panels stop showing in IE but because they show in some places and not in others I think it's a conversational issue I need to work out (Seam). However in the mean time if I can programmatically get them to display that would suffice.

I've tried using the RichFunction class but nothing and there is no way to call show().

expressions.createMethodExpression(" #{RichFunction.component('confirmNewTeamPosition')}").invoke();

Help please!

hi,

I use something like if(data) Richfaces.showModalPanel("modal"). I dont know if it fit in your case.

also showWhenRendered could be used. just set expression to true at server side and update the panel.
