Alignment of the Popup (adf 11g)

Question

Hi,
I am using adf 11g and one of the requirement is :
Pop-up should start higher on the screens (should open up in the top). May i know how can i achieve this?
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId="manualTaskPopup"
align="afterStart"/>
Pop-up is opening in the Center by default now.
This is really urgent.
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks
CM

Answer 1

you can do this by using alignId in javascript
<af:commandButton id="myButton">
<af:clientListener type="click" method="showPopup"/>
</af:commandButton>
function showPopup() {
var popup = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent("thisPopup");
var hints = {align:"before_end", alignId:"myButton"};
popup.show(hints);
from the doc
There are nine predefined align enumerations represented by constants:
1. AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_AFTER_START: The popup appears underneath the element with the popup's upper-left corner aligned with the lower-left corner of the element. The left edges of the element and the popup are aligned.
2. AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_AFTER_END: The popup appears underneath the element with the popup's upper-right corner aligned with the lower-right corner of the element. The right edges of the element and the popup are aligned.
3. AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_BEFORE_START: The popup appears above the element with the popup's lower-left corner aligned with the upper-left corner of the element. The left edges of the element and the popup are aligned.
4. AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_BEFORE_END: The popup appears above the element with the popup's lower-right corner aligned with the upper-right corner of the element. The right edges of the element and the popup are aligned.
5. AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_END_AFTER: The popup appears to the right of the element with the popup's lower-left corner aligned with the lower-right corner of the element. The bottom edges of the element and the popup are aligned.
6. AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_END_BEFORE: The popup appears to the right of the element with the popup's upper-left corner aligned with the upper-right corner of the element. The top edges of the element and the popup are aligned.
7. AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_START_AFTER: The popup appears to the left of the element with the popup's lower-right corner aligned with the lower-left corner of the element. The bottom edges of the element and the popup are aligned.
8. AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_START_BEFORE: The popup appears to the left of the element with the popup's upper-right corner aligned with the upper-left corner of the element. The top edges of the element and the popup are aligned.
