rich:modalPanel controls command action is not invoked

[javatwo]

<rich:modalPanel ...>

<f:facet name="controls">

     <h:panelGroup>

         <a4j:commandLink id="cancel"  value=""    

             action="#{bean.closeModalPanel}"   

             onclick="#{rich:component('modalPanel')}.hide();">               

                  <h:graphicImage value="/images/close.gif" />

         </a4j:commandLink>           

     </h:panelGroup>

</f:facet>

....

</rich:modalPanel>

when clicking the close image, the modalPanel is closed, but the action is not invoked.

ajax request is not sent.  I looked at the html code, the onclick seems correct.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Dave,

onclick of the model panel you are trying to close the modelPanel.try with oncomplete.

OR

If you are trying to close the popup and you need to call the backend means try like this,

<f:facet name="controls">

                <h:panelGroup layout="block" >

                    <h:graphicImage value="/img/close.png"                      

                        styleClass="hidelink" id="hidelinks1" />

                    <rich:componentControl for="feedbackSuccessUp" attachTo="hidelinks1"

                        operation="hide" event="onclick" />

                </h:panelGroup>

            </f:facet>

instead of <h:graphicsImage try with h:commandbutton also.

It will also work perfectly..

Thanks,

Siva

I've never used the "controls" facet of a richfaces modalpanel. But I'd suggest analysing the rendered <a4j:commandLink> with Firebug or the chrome developertools to check if such a link is inside a form in the first place. Due to the moving around in the DOM (per default to the body) this control could be outside a form even if you specify an own form as the modalpanels content.

I forgot to put it inside form. it is working now.

Thanks.
