Close popup if exists without knowing id

[jonleyo]

Hi,

I would like to close a popup without knowing its id.

I mean, I would like to use a Jquery selector that will give me all the popup and call hide() on it.

ExtendedPartialViewContext ctx = (ExtendedPartialViewContext) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
  .getPartialViewContext();
ctx.prependOnbeforedomupdate("???.hide()");

Thanks... if anyone has a solution!

If you need to close them in response to a rerender why not just set @show to false?

There is no central stack of popups, if you were doing it through JavaScript you would have to check every element on the page. That's not a good way of doing it unless you can put all your popups into a dedicated space, i.e.

<div id="popups">
    <rich:popupPanel id="popup" … />
    <rich:popupPanel id="anotherPopup" … />
    …
</div>

On the other hand, why do you expect not to know the ids?

I have a custom error handler.

So in a generic way, I don't know which components are in the page.

And, I don't want to check the view root...
