A real modal popup

Hi all!

I need to open a modal popup from a page button. I tried using <rich:modalPanel> and seems to go ok, but a new need raise out:

When I open the popup, the structure of the popup must be created (because parameters are passed).

If I use the modalPanel the popup is built before my click on the open-button.

The only solution I could think for now is to use directly a javascript windows.open with target "_blank" specified. In this manner only everytime I click over the open-button the xhtml of the popup is called and create the "different" popup everytime (like the need).

Any other ideas?

try re-rendering the modalPanel content when you click a link or button to show the popup..

I re-render (not the entire modalPanel), but a div in it. If I re-render the entire modalPanel it is showed only for a millisecond.

Are you using simple html 'div'?? try using richfaces component like '<h:panelGroup>' and render it.

solved inserting modalPanel into a panelGroup (as Maheswara Sunkara told) and call the show over the modalPanel and call a rerender over the panelGroup.
