Alternative to <rich:modalPanel> for Internet Explorer 6


The pages of my web application are loaded really slowly on Internet Explorer 6, compared to Firefox : around 6s for IE6, 3s for Firefox.

The size of the pages are indeed a big problem in my application, but I also know that the <rich:modalPanel> is really slow on IE6 (due to DOM manipulations).

As we use a lot ot them, I think that this component may be indeed one of the reasons of this slowness...

So, is there a JSF alternative to the <rich:modalPanel> component?

Or eventually, do you know a javascript / jQuery modal panel code that can be easily used for a custom component in JSF?

Technical informations:

JSF 1.2 (+ Facelets) and Richfaces 3.2.2


Solution

  • Why not just use a jQuery component as is in your code? You don't necessarily need a custom component for it - especially since you're using Facelets.
