That is a feeling I know well...
The ability to (easily) do something like ModalBox's behavior in WO is
something I have felt is really lacking, so I'm a bit interested in
playing around with this. I had some luck with YUIPanel, back about a
year ago, but it was very buggy and I ultimately gave up with it
because of this. As I recall, the reason was mostly that the YUI
library was not at all interested in mixing with Scriptaculous.
YUIPanel had a tendency to completely flip out when multiple submit
buttons were involved.
What I would like is something that enables me to use a modal dialog
for more insignificant data entry forms and alerts. It is often the
case that I want to edit a related entity that doesn't really have
enough data to deserve a whole edit page itself. If I were doing this
in an application, I would use a sheet or a panel for that, and I'd
like to do the same within WO. So essentially I want something that
can be modal, handle a variety of content, not choke on one or more
submit buttons, work nicely with Scriptaculous, and look good (in a
nutshell, be everything that ModalBox is). Like I said, I abandoned
this previously and I have been using the aforementioned edit pages,
but I think I'd like to start wiping that out and take a crack at
developing a reusable component based on ModalBox.
So... how far along did you get? Had you given much thought to the
actual design, or was this something that was just floating around in
your head? Do you have any code that you'd be willing to share?

Hi,
I need to open a popup window (for example a file upload form),
and when the user submits the form, close the popup window and
update the original page.
This is pretty standard practice, I am sure, but I don't know how
to do it.
Thanks for your solutions.
