opening modelwindow freezes IE8

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi everyone,

I've had a report from a user of a Wicket app, that when the AjaxLink to open a 
ModalWindow is clicked, the ModalWindow opens and the browser freezes. This is 
on IE8 and in Windows 7 or XP. However, running it in Compatibility Mode it 
seemed to work. Works ok in other browsers.

Has anyone experienced this? The code is nothing out of the ordinary I don't 
think:

Unless its the getParent() calls to get the ModelObject for this list item? 
Could I do that another way?


final AjaxLink connectionLink = new AjaxLink("connectionLink") {
        
        public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
                
                //get this item, reinit some values and set content for modal
        SearchResult this_searchResult = 
(SearchResult)getParent().getParent().getDefaultModelObject();
        final String userUuid = this_searchResult.getUserUuid();
        connectionWindow.setContent(new 
AddFriend(connectionWindow.getContentId(), userUuid, some more params…)); 
                
        // connection modal window handler 
                connectionWindow.setWindowClosedCallback(new 
ModalWindow.WindowClosedCallback() {
                        public void onClose(AjaxRequestTarget target){
                //update some labels
            }
        });                                             
                
                connectionWindow.show(target);
                
        }
};


thanks,
Steve
