Problem using Richfaces.hideModalPanel

[coolrb]

Hi,
I am using Richfaces.hideModalPanel to hide a modal panel which was displayed as part of request submit confirmation. Please find the code below

<rich:modalPanel id="metadata-inprogress" minHeight="100" minWidth="250" height="100"
 width="250" zindex="2000">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Metadata Batch insertiong request submitted...."></h:outputText>
 </f:facet>
 <f:facet name="controls">
 <h:graphicImage value="/images/close.png" style="cursor:pointer"
 onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('metadata-inprogress')" />
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText id="mptext1"
 value="Metadata Batch insert requested Successfully. You will get email after completion..." />
 <rich:panel styleClass="invisiblePanel">
 <a4j:commandButton id="mpCloseButton" styleClass="smallText" style="text-align:center;" onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('metadata-inprogress')"
 value="OK" />
 </rich:panel>
</rich:modalPanel>

I am using <rich:messages> to display messages, in case any error occurs during request processing. The problem is on clicking ok in the above <a4j:commandButton> , the messages are getting cleared. But if any error occurs, I want messages to be there though User can close the message panel.
Any help

Hi,

Do not use a4j:commandButton just to close panel, use common HTML button tag

Thanks.
I changed it to <h:commandLink value="Close" style="cursor:pointer" onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('metadata-inprogress')" />

Is it possible to fire a javascript function when messages are displayed as part of <rich:messages/> something like

<rich:messages>
{function to be called}
</rich:messages>

Thanks.

do you really need a submit after modal closure? If no add return false; after hide statement.

Is it possible to fire a javascript function when messages are displayed as part of <rich:messages/> something like

you could check in request control oncomplete if the messages were risen and execute the js you need in this case. or you could add some script in conditionally rendered (rendered if messages present) outputPanel so it will be evaluated only if messages persent.

Thanks and it worked.
Again, just trying to know how can I reset form fields to blank value. I am using following code but it does not work.

<h:commandLink styleClass="medText" value="Reset" style="cursor:pointer">
 <a4j:support event="onclick" reRender="panel"
 onsubmit="if(!confirm('Are you sure to change the values?'))
 {form.reset(); return false;}"
 oncomplete="alert('Value succesfully reset')"/>
 </h:commandLink>

Sorry for too much qs

form reset could not works for our rich components because it isn not just simple inputs and form has no idea about what should be reseted.. So you have two options:
1) manually reset our inputs like calendar or combo or inplace to the value you need.
2) use ajax request to clear the value bindings and reREder the inputs area.
