Displaying an external page in dialog

Stephanie Hall (TT)

Hi all,

 

I have a large chunk of my instance that I would like to be able to display in a read-only popup which would be launched from the parent page.  What would be the best way to do this in orbeon?

 

So for example, on my main JSP I have 4 sections that you can switch to using tabs, but you can’t see all of them at once.  My users would like to be able to click on a button to open one of the hidden sections in a read-only popup, but it has to display the up-to-date instance info AND the same layout as on the parent page.

 

I looked into using xxforms:dialog but that doesn’t seem like it will work as I get a lot of “duplicate control id” problems.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you,

Stephanie

Stephanie,

Let me try to understand what you would like to do. Do you want to
show in a dialog a read-only version of the same fields users see in
read-write mode in the main form? How are you getting duplicate ids;
is it because you're xincluding the same controls in two places (in
the dialog, and "below" the dialog)? Maybe showing us small example
would help.
