Makes sense. I've done a similar process in the past but showed the edit forms within the wizard step (hidden until add/edit clicked). But this makes sense, too. I'm just not a big fan of modals, preferring instead to generally show stuff inline on the original page. Just depends on what your UI requirements are.

Step 1 you enter the products you want to order. Step 2 based on your account it pulls up a list of billing addresses. In step 2 you choose your billing address and the details of the billing address are shown in step 2 with a modify link. The modify link allows you to modify the information and then when done the modified information is shown as the billing address in step 2. Step 3 is the shipping information with the same idea as step 2. Step 4 would be a confirmation of everything entered. Then 'Finish'. This to me is a very common way to use a wizard and modal windows. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Thomerson [mailto:jer...@wickettraining.com] Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 12:37 PM To: users@wicket.apache.org Subject: Re: Modal inside a WizardStep I keep wondering, too, what you are doing in the wizard that needs an editing modal popup. Typically, wizards are used for multi-step forms. So to me it's weird to have a wizard that isn't the form - but displays values that you are then editing from a modal.
