Re: Modal window position - always centred, even on long page

[Steve Swinsburg]

Thanks German,

Adding this to the HTML of my ModalWindow is working nicely.


If anyone has done this, feel free to save me the hassle!


cheers,

Hi Steve,

I answer quickly with some ideas, perhaps it helps.

It seems that you need a different implementation of the center method
provided by ModalWindow.

You can see the original in modal.js, in the package
org.apache.wicket.extensions.ajax.markup.html.modal.res of the
wicket-extensions.
You should attempt centering the window to the current browser window,
instead of the viewport.

You could provide an own javascript with a content like:

  Wicket.Window.prototype.center = function() {
     // your own version
  };

Hope this helps,

German

Hi all,

I have a fairly long page making use of Modal Windows, and any ModalWindow that I place onto this page always renders in the exact centre of the page (vertically). So if the button that opens the window is at the top, you need bottom, you'll need to scroll up. This is a pain because sometimes the BTW this is inside an iframe which takes up most of the screen (but not all). Ideally I'd like the mask to extend over the whole window, not just the part that the iframe is in (which it currently does, but I can live with
