             Summary: Upgrade to Wicket 6.10.0 introduced interference between required text fields and the Wicket viewer's veil.
                 Key: ISIS-552
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-552
             Project: Isis
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Viewer: Wicket
            Reporter: Dan Haywood
            Assignee: Dan Haywood
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: viewer-wicket-1.3.0


Specifically, Wicket 6.10.0 (per https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5289) now sets the HTML5 "required" attribute.  This causes HTML5 browsers such as Chrome to display a client-side pop-up.

When the OK button is clicked, the Wicket viewer always displays the veil (see jquery.isis.viewer.wicket.js), and relies upon a page refresh to clear the veil.

However, because the page is never submitted, the veil does not disappear.  The only workaround is to resubmit the page, thus losing any text that might have been entered.

This fix is to prevent Chrome from showing the pop-up by *not* setting the required flag in the Wicket viewer.

~~~
An alternative solutino - that would preserve the pop-up - would be to change the way that the veil is rendered, by associating the Javascript callback with form.submit() rather than button.click().
