Today is a loooooong day. After a meeting with the project manager we all stayed back to do overtime, nobody wants to do it but we HAVE to do it. Hey! in this difficult time we can't make things the way we want, remember the customer is the king, so working as a contractor my customer is my king (temporary of course!)
Found a problem today, most of our data entry screen is in a model dialog box with a lot of textboxes, radiobutton, etc,etc. The problem that we have is that when you submit the form a new window automatically opens us, this does not happen when you are using a normal window. On a normal window when you click the submit key your screen are automatically refresh and on the same screen, but it's different with a model dialog box. The reason why we want to use model dialog box is because of it's modal characteristics, we don't want the user to select other window before finishing with the current window.
One of my colleague came up with a solution by using XmlHTTP object in IE, but we are quite hesitant to use it as we are scared later on there will be problem and not to mention the maintenance that you have to do.
I came up with an idea of IFRAME and voila! IFRAME allows you to make your modal dialog box act as a normal window. Can't wait to tell the guys at work about my findings, hope it can solve our problem. Oh, I'm sure there are more problem
Remember the project that I'm working on have got 450 modules. It's SCM (Supply Chain Management), and we are only using JSP/JavaScript/Bean (No EJB or any Persistent Framework) only pure DAO.
