Right now I amusing jqModal for this, but this should not impact too much on my question.
Right now the work flow is like that: user clicks on button --> - button id is saved in a hidden field - dialog is opened and content search form is loaded via ajax user click search button --> - radiobutton list in dialog is populated via ajax - list item change event is hooked up, so that it will write its value to the input box next() to the item which id is in the hidden field - dialog is closed I do not like this because everything crosses so many borders. the dialogue should have no knowledge about hidden fields (and that some button has an input field next to it) exterior to it. It should simply expose an event, the originating button is subscribing to. or the equivalent in js-speak. But so far I have not found a way to implement something like that. My javascript sucks, that's for sure :S -- Jan On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 7:22 AM, Richard D.
