[Trinidad] Modal tr:panelPopup issue in IE 7
First of all, I don't know much about CSS, so if this is purely a CSS issue,
I apologize.
I've noticed an issue on IE 7 (works fine in FireFox 2) that prevents the
user from doing anything within a modal tr:panelPopup (i.e. the area within
the popup is disabled just like the area outside of it). This has to do with
"position: relative;" in the CSS.
Here is a minimal example (sorry if the formatting is lost):
<pre>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<tr:document xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:tr="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad">
<f:view>
<div style="margin-top: 100px; position: relative;">
<tr:form id="testForm">
<tr:panelPopup id="testPopup" text="Click here" title="Title"
modal="true">
<tr:outputText value="content" />
</tr:panelPopup>
</tr:form>
</div>
</f:view>
</tr:document>
</pre>
I've noticed that the problem goes away if I remove the tr:form entirely or
move it outside of the div. Is this an issue with tr:panelPopup, tr:form, or
purely a CSS mistake/misuse?
Thanks,
Chris Hansen

Yes you can. The problem is that it really makes the code more complex
as it would have to take into scroll locations of many elements
instead of just the body when computing locations.

Thanks for your reply.
There's no reason in particular to have the form within the div in this
case, but, to me, it seems unreasonable for the popup to assume its form is
the top level element in general, so it sounds like further testing is in
order. Actually, the example I gave works if you remove the "position:
relative;" from the div, even though the form is not top-level, so I don't
think that is the issue in this case.
Should I file a bug for this?
Thanks,
-Chris

The popup code assumes that the item it is in is the top level. On the
other hand, it has to keep the popup in the form to ensure proper
submission. It only is tested with having the form directly under the
document component. We can add some more tests, but what does having
the DIV outside the form give you that you cannot do with it inside
the form?
