------------------------------------------------------------------

Nobody is saying that this should be done without javascript, just without Ajax!

When a page is shown that has a modal window that needs to be open without some user action that provides an AjaxRequestTarget, this is very hard to do. A workaround would be to use AjaxSelfUpdatingTimerBehavior and use that target to open the window, but this is slightly ugly.

Unfortunately ModalWindow.getWindowOpenJavaScript is private, otherwise a subclass could use that to output to the response (onLoad or onDomReady or something).

Edit: Oops, I think I'm saying exactly the same thing as Johan Compagnier is... sorry 'bout that :S

> Wicket 1.2.2 included a new Modal Window component. However, this component can only be used with a valid AjaxRequestTarget. It would be useful if Modal Windows could be opened programmatically at any time without an AjaxRequestTarget.
