problem modalPanel ie7 and ff difference

Hello,

I'm using seam 2.1 , richfaces 3.2.2 GA and JBoss 4.2.3GA.

I have a commanButton on my page which starts a long running task and opens a modalPanel. The modalPanel has a commandButton which allows the user to cancel. This calls an action in on of my seam managed beans.

I have tried different combinations of h:form, a4j:form, h:commandButton and a4j:commandButton without success.

This works fine in firefox 3 but the cancel action is only called after everything else is finished when called from ie7.

As most of my users will need to use ie7 I hope that some one can help me.

Additional info:

The long running method is called via Events.instance().raiseEvent().

Using the asynchronous version of that will obviously return before the event is finished and I don't want that to happen.

Additionally, I can't get the modalPanel to display at all on safari or chrome. Any ideas?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks.
Peter

Peter,

That can happen if browser has reached the limit for simultaneous HTTP connections opened. You can try to change settings for IE by following this article: http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/536/ and check whether that is the source of the problem.

I use chrome for daily browsing and modal panel works ok when I explore livedemo site. Does this work: http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/modalPanel.jsf?c=modalPanel&tab=usage for you?

Thanks nbelaevski for the tip about max connections, that was the solution.

I still can't get chrome or safari to work but it looks more like a problem with my ajax forms and buttons.
