Relative positioning of dialogs

[Roger]

I'd like to be able to position the visural dialog relative to another
element (e.g. when a link is clicked, a dialog appears just below the
link). Any idea how to do this?

Hi Roger,

Sorry about the slow reply - very busy at the moment, and my emails have suffered!

Right now it isn't possible to control the position of the visural-wicket Dialog. They are always positioned in the centre of the browser window.

You could raise a feature request at the google code site for a future release. That said, it sounds like you want something that isn't modal? sort of like a drop down dialog window?

If that's the case you may be better off rolling your own solution in Javascript as those sort of UI features tend to be a bit use case specific.

cheers

Richard

Thanks for the reply Richard.

I'd like something like what Google Maps uses when you click on an
object and a speech-bubble-like dialog zooms up out of it, but I don't
want to fool around with javascript for a week and then discover that
it'll never work anyway on IE6 :).

regards,
roger
