[Tobago] Popups background not disabled

["H. Swaczinna" <sw...@wlp-systems.de>]

Hi,

when the page shows a popup the background page is grayed and
you can't activate any component by mouse. But you can activate
any component by keyboard when you use the tab key. You can execute
actions and modifiy fields. This is the serious problem because our
customers users used to work more by keyboard than by mouse.
With the IE there's another problem. Listboxes aren't disabled at all.
You can pick entries by mouse.

Regards
Helmut

If it's helpful, I have some pending components that detect keypresses
(by key type) and perform either javascript or a submit a JSF action.

 * <onKeyDown>
 *     <keyCombination key="F1"
 *         onKeyPress="runMyJavaScriptFunction1();" />
 *     <keyCombination key="F2"
 *         action="executeJSFAction" />
 *     <keyCombination key="F2"
 *         onKeyPress="runMyJavaScriptFunction2();"
 *         actionListener="executeJSFActionListenerAfterJsFun2" />
 * </onKeyDown>

Sounds like you might already have some code to take care of this, though.

BTW, the same is true for the progress effect used for page transitioning.

Is switching to IE 7 an option?

In a different project I installed something like a keyboard event sink 
to avoid this. I will try to work this out together with Udo.

The select control problem doesn't exist in IE 7. For IE 6 we didn't 
include an IFRAME hack up to now to hide the select controls. This was a 
known issue, which we somehow forgot to fix.
