Open Modalpanel from another modalpanel (domElementAttachment)

[renegritsch]

Hello,

for a few days I have a problem with our modalpanels. Sometimes if I open a modalpanel inside from another modalpanel it opens

in the background. The focus is still on the old modalpanel (which should also stay open), if i close this one the other modalpanel is there

and i can work with it.

I am using domElementAttachment=parent on the 2nd modalpanel and without its working ! To be honest, I can´t remember why I have

added this 1 year ago, maybe because of autosuggestion problem but I am not sure anymore.

To give you an example is quite difficult, so before that I would like to check out the easy stuff first.

How does Richfaces handles the "z-layer" of these panels ?

Example: Modalpanel "Gruppe" with the "+" it should open the "Partnerdrehscheibe" Modalpanel which opens behind the "Gruppe"

I can reproduce this behaviour:

<h:form>

<a4j:commandButton value="open mp1" onclick="#{rich:component('mp1')}.show();"/>

</h:form>

<rich:modalPanel id="mp1">

    <f:facet name="header">mp1</f:facet>

    <h:form id="mp1form">

        mp1

        <a4j:commandButton value="show mp2" onclick="#{rich:component('mp2')}.show();"/>

        <a4j:commandButton value="close" onclick="#{rich:component('mp1')}.hide();"/>

    </h:form>

</rich:modalPanel>

<rich:modalPanel id="mp2" domElementAttachment="body">

    <f:facet name="header">mp2</f:facet>

    <h:form id="mp2form">

        mp2

        <a4j:commandButton value="close" onclick="#{rich:component('mp2')}.hide();"/>

    </h:form>

</rich:modalPanel>

if you change the second modalpanel parameters to: domElementAttachment="parent" then this panel would open in the background.

Do you really need your modal panel(s) to be attached to their parents?

To be honest I am not sure, I´ve removed them for now. The problem is, that we have hundrets of subdialogs which open in a modalpanel (we have our own gui framework around richfaces 3.3.3) and I can darkly remember we had problems with <a4j:outputpanels ajaxrendered="true"> and autosuggestions inside the modalpanels and these helped, but I am not sure.

I will check this tomorrow in the office and will let you know, removing domElementAttachment helped for now.

Thank you,
René
