1. Re: Validation appears/disappears in ModalPanel
I'm not sure about
- I'm using RichFaces 4.0 / JSF 2.0 on a Tomcat 6.0 application server.
a4j:form and a4j:support are not present there...
But even if talk about 3.3.3 - the answer is simple - a4j:command and nested support inside - should not be used. That's because two concurrent requests will be sent. And in your case - first requests updates the messages with new content and second - erases results from previous.

2. Re: Validation appears/disappears in ModalPanel
Hi Ilya,
Thanks for your reply, and you're right, the 4.0 was a typo, I'm indeed using RichFaces 3.3.3 together with JSF 2.0!
Instead of the <a4j:commandButton>, I tried using the <h:commandButton>, but that resulted in a submit request that closed my modalPanel...?
<h:commandButton value="Save" action="#{dashBoardBean.addOrderNumber}"> <a4j:support event="onclick" reRender="orders"/> </h:commandButton>What I basically wish to achieve is the following:
- Person clicks the 'Add Order' button
- Person fills in an ordernumber (should be 12 numbers)
- Person clicks save (which instantly adds the number to a <rich:dataTable> (this is what I used the <a4j:support event="onclick" reRender="orders" /> for
Another thing I tried was to completely remove the reRender part. I got the same problem -- Error is shown, but only for a little moment
Thanks to your explanation I understand why my code doesn't work the way I want though, but I'm not sure what I should do to 'fix' it... Perhaps you've got an idea?
Thanks!

let's from the beginning return to the basics. this:
<h:commandButton value="Save" action="#{dashBoardBean.addOrderNumber}">
<a4j:support event="onclick" reRender="orders"/>
</h:commandButton>will also not works fine and because of the same reason.
Use just a4j:commandButton without any supports inside. It should just works as you need submitting fom via ajax and calling your business actions. use button's reRender attribute instead of placing in separate a4j:support.

Hi Ilya,
I tried this suggestion, but still got the same behaviour. I created another page with just that modalpanel though, and here it seemed to work. I noticed that another modalpanel was the cause, one that has a <rich:progressBar />. Once I removed this item, it seemed to work fine, I'll just have to find a new way to display progress in a modal panel now
I'm not sure why I used a support tag inside my a4j:command instead of using the reRender property of the command itself (I actually did use this property on my a4j:commandLinks), but I guess I'm never too old to learn
Thanks!

seems ProgressBar requests causes automatically rendered zones to be updated (I believed that it should not ) try to add limittolist=true to progressBar.

6. Re: Validation appears/disappears in ModalPanel
Hi Ilya,
This solved my problem! I now have validation working in the 'input modalpanel', while the 'loading modalpanel' shows the progressBar, exactly as I wanted it to
Here is a snippet of how it works right now, perhaps it can be of use for other people! The code might need a bit of work, and I didn't include backing bean code (but that's pretty trivial, really). Also, it might not be the neatest code, so feel free to refactor :
