how to reflect the action of command button in rich:modalpanel

Hi Everyone,
I m creating a page with rich:modalPanel.It contains command buttons such as Add, Delete, Update and Cancel.
<rich:modalPanel id="eftcal" autosized="false" keepVisualState="false" width="600" height="230">
.....
<a4j:commandButton value="Add Row" action="#{effortPlanHandler.addRow}" reRender="eftcal"/>
<a4j:commandButton value="Delete Row" action="#{effortPlanHandler.deleteRow}" Render="eftcal"/>
<a4j:commandButton value="Update" action="#{effortPlanHandler.effortCalculated}" reRender="caleft"/>
.......

when the "Add Row" button is clicked, it needs to add a row.It adds in the server side. The problem is that the modal panel gets closed when i click any of the buttons and i can't able to see the newly added row.
Can anyone help me, how to prevent the modal panel from closing..

Hi,

Your row is probably displayed in a table. Why dont you try reRendering the table from the <a4j:commandButton>s, instead of the modal panel?

Also take a look at the keepVisualState attribute of the modal panel.

Hi Nikos,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. Your suggestion solved my problem.

<rich:modalPanel id="eftcal" autosized="false" keepVisualState="true" width="600" height="230">
....
<rich:dataTable value="#{effortPlanHandler.effortPlanModel.effortCalculationTable}" var="ectable" id="caleft" rows="15" width="100%">
......
<a4j:commandButton value="Add Row" action="#{effortPlanHandler.addRow}" reRender="caleft"/>
....

    The did the above changes.It works fine now.
