First of all apologies to the list... I've been so busy lately that i haven't had time to help and reply to many past emails...
I'll eventually try your code, but till that happens here's some thoughts... -) i'd try your suggestion about removing the node completely from the dom. Something like: myDialogNode.parentNode.removeChild(myDialogNode) -) we need to fix Dialog's usage of ids... it currently has the exact problem you described... Can you log a report at http://tacoscomponents.jot.com/BugReporter ? BTW, from 4.0.1 and on, you can use updateComponents="dialogEditItem" or updateComponents="literal:dialogEditItem" instead of updateComponents="ognl:{'dialogEditItem'}" That is a comma-separated string of components to update Stephanos Piperoglou wrote: > > I've been wrestling with the Dialog component all day with no useful > results yet... > > I have a For component iterating over some beans and I want an "Edit" > button that pops up a dialog to edit the properties of that bean and > then save and close the dialog.
