[Xerte] Generating pop up windows and alert messages from Xerte

Tue Feb 9 13:31:42 GMT 2010

I had not really thought about it being modal or not though, having
thought about it now, it would probably make sense for it to be so.

I am working on a page based on the multiple choice question model. The
idea is to have a number of radio buttons each of which has defined for
it a destination page. When you select a particular radio button you are
then taken to the page in the project defined for that radio button.
This will let me build a project that will function a bit like a simple
expert system, by assembling it out of a number of these pages. 

I know that screen space could be tight, so I wanted the opportunity to
create a pop up window that could add extra information, e.g. to clarify
a particular option, before the user moved on by selecting the radio
button.

The final intention would be to create the page as a page Wizard, making
it relatively simple for users to create projects that had multiple
paths through the project.

Kind regards

Is the purpose here to create something modal?
i.e. you can't move on without closing that box?

Otherwise, maybe something similar to the glossary model would suffice.
Trigger an event with parameters and use that to create a box to suit.
