Hi everyone
The reason that I'm posting to you guys is because I'm trying to do some modaless popups for data input, and some modaless popups to lookup data. I'm experiencing very weird behavior in my attempts. First of all, I tried to use the infamous
window.open to use in my reusable popups. They've worked very well for lookup popups, but I don't know why, when I fire an Action in my popup (like the data input ones, that saves a Country, for example), the popup loses the opener reference, breaking all my usecase, because I can't re-render the country combo to load the brand new country in my opener window.(I'm using Ajax4JSF to do this kind of plumbering).So I've tried again, without Ajax4JSF, with no luck either, same weird behavior. Then I've tried with div tags, but I didn't know how to load my popup page to the div. So I've tried again, but with IE modalessDialogs, but with no luck (every action fired in the popup created a new popupwindow, breaking again all my usecase). Then I've tried iframes, and the actions finally fired away, but I couldn't do the "floating" thing with iframes, or close the popups, because I couldn't remove it from the DOM.
What is the best approach to have reusable popups in my application?
Thanks and Best Regards
