Title: Popup Screen from Other Button shows nothing
Post by: jorgemir on March 21, 2011, 09:41:53 AM

Hi. converting my form screen to popup from "other" button and it shows nothing, only the windows. Without the popup option it shows the  form. Is anything special to do when using this option? It is very-very nice to have it.
By the way, after shows the empty screen, it pops an exception. Have to kill webserver.

So the way a popup works is that it "appears" instantly when you click the link, but at the same time it makes a call to the server to "populate" the popup. This combination delivers the immediate feedback to the user we want, but also doesn't make the "parent" page unnecessarily large.

In your case the request to populate the form is GPF'ing - which means the popped-up-window never gets populated.

It's hard to diagnose with just the numbers - that's what GPF Reporter is for - however the most common cause of a GPF on a form is where a "memo" field (in a file) is used, and the file itself is not open.

It's possible this is your bug (start by commenting out your embed code) but it might also be mine - in which case an example would be appreciated.

cheers
