Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3442:
----------------------------------------

Hi Bilgin,

Forget what I said, I saw the ajaxLookup working in an FTL field (Customer 
field in the 1st Order Entry screen in Order Manager). It's weird in Firefox 
3.6.3 because some time it works some time not (but with my 58 plugins ;o). 
It's ok in Opera. I don't remember if I have not opened a Jira issue for that 
(I don't this so), maybe I simply wrote something about that in another place.

> Following Sascha Rodekamp's work on layer lookups  OFBIZ-3374 and 
> improvements OFBIZ-3430, I propose now to replace old the popup lookups by 
> layered (Ajaxified) lookups. 
> For that please find a patch attached. In this patch I followed a simple S/R 
> tactic:
> * I replaced all occurences of LookupDecorator by LookupLayerPopupDecorator 
> in screens
> *  I replaced all occurences of <lookup by <lookup presentation="layer" 
> position="center"
> It's as simple as this. For the moment I decided to use as default 
> position="center" because it's was the easiest (sure that any lookups will be 
> out of the screen). I think we will refine this by removing position="center" 
> and use the default (position="normal") which does not move the layer from 
> the point it's called and will be more aesthetic.
> I did not test anything in OFBIz OOTB for the moment, but I already use 
> layered lookups in a custom application without any issues so far.
> The only drawback I found for the moment is when a lookup is called from a 
> lookup. If you are aware of such cases please chime in.
> Of course everybody is encouraged to test this improvement as much as 
> possible. I really think it's a very cool feature for users, and they will 
> appreciate. There are still some ideas like that (see the link Sasca referred 
> to in OFBIZ-3374), and we will try to implement them.
> There are issues to be fixed prior to a commit, see OFBIZ-3446.
