I am trying to mimick some behavior I had with an s-control with visual force. If you place a custom button that links to an s-control and then specify that you want the side bar for example, you could link to a page without header and side bar refershing.

So I made a visual force page that I added to my account page layout and there I place a link or button. I tried with the commandlink and commandbutton that reference an action on my controller and the action returns a PageReference to a second visual force page. If I specify nothing then the page goes into the iframe in the account detail, not the idea, so I would need to add target=_top and force a client side redirect. However then the entire page is refreshed which makes it seem much slower than the original behavior with the s-control where only the account detail itself was refreshed. How can I obtain the same behavoir as the s-control linked to a custom button?

In my class I have a PageReference that does a SOSL search and I have a try catch block around it (purely for the off sinaro that search itself might fail...) but my code around it checks for null and if it is less than 3 in lenght.... so i cant seem to find a way to cover that block. Do i even need the try{} catch{} at this point?

Here is my method:

/*SOSL search for cases/contacts with the phone number in the param*/ public PageReference getCaseData(){ string p = getAniParam(); if(randishelperclass.checkIfNullOrEmpty(p)){ if(p.length() > 3){ string ph = p + '*'; try{ List<List<sObject>> searchlist = [find :ph IN PHONE FIELDS RETURNING Case (id,casenumber,SuppliedPhone,subject,product__c,contact.name,contact.id,status,LastModifiedDate ORDER by LastModifiedDate desc limit 25),Contact(id, phone, email, name ORDER by name desc limit 25) limit 50]; cseResults = ((List<Case>)searchlist[0]); conResults = ((List<Contact>)searchlist[1]); if(cseResults.size() > 0 && conResults.size() > 0){ renderCseResults = true; renderConResults = true; bRendered = false; }else if(cseResults.size() > 0 && conResults.size() == 0){ renderConResults = false; renderCseResults = true; bRendered = true; }else if(cseResults.size() == 0 && conResults.size() > 0){ renderConResults = true; renderCseResults = false; bRendered = false; } return null; }catch(exception e){ ApexPages.Message msg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.Fatal , 'Oops...

Please i need some help!!

In my page I have a background image that is set to repeat-x and it work perfectly in FireFox, but in IE, not so much.

On my site, I made a template page that all my other pages sit in using the <apex:composition template="myTemplate"> and  <apex:define name="somesection">. On one of the pages I have a list displaying the cases on that person's account (the one logged into the site) and I made links so they can see just there cases or all the account cases and then just open or just closed, so each time the user clicks on the link, the cases list rerenders. And you can imagine that some of the lists are longer than others, depending on the account. 

Before

In IE (compatibility mode and non compatibility mode...havent even looked at IE6)this is what seems to be happening:

After

The background image loads all the way to the bottom of the page on page load, on first rerender, it only loads to the shortest list and the rest of the page has a white background. 

has anyone see this or something like it? 

I have created a customer portal for our VIP accounts with force.com sites, so they can log in and see any tickets(cases) under there account, and be able to submit new ones or add comments or attachments to current ones.

I have managed to create all of it with no trouble, except for the attachments piece. I can't even display existing attachments that may be on the ticket(case), it errors out the page. I am wondering if there is any sort of permissions issue with seeing attachments and sites/portal users? 

I have the table set up to only render if there is results from the query, and the table shows, but the data wont(since I have to make the get method return null.... Or the page wont load...)

here is the code I am using to get the existing attachments:

//get the id of the case so we can look for attachments in it
String pageid = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id');
public string getPageid(){
return pageid;
}
//set the table to false so it wont show unless there is data
Boolean renderattachmentlist = false;
//run the query and render the list if there is data
public Boolean getRenderattachmentlist(){
getAttachmentResults();
return renderattachmentlist;
}
//select the attachment data to be shown from the case
public Attachment[] getAttachmentResults(){
Attachment[] attachmentInfo = [Select ParentId, Name, Id, CreatedDate, CreatedById From Attachment where ParentId = :pageid ORDER BY CreatedDate DESC];
//if there is data show the list
if(attachmentInfo.size() > 0){
renderattachmentlist = true;
}
return attachmentInfo;
}

 at the end of the getAttachmentResults() method I have it set to return null since the page wont load if I leave it as shown above.

Since I can't even get the existing attachments to show I figure it must be some sort of permissions issue. Can this be changed or fixed? 

The other piece that isn't working is adding new attachments, but I figure its for the same reason as above....

HELP!

I am trying to mimick some behavior I had with an s-control with visual force. If you place a custom button that links to an s-control and then specify that you want the side bar for example, you could link to a page without header and side bar refershing.

So I made a visual force page that I added to my account page layout and there I place a link or button. I tried with the commandlink and commandbutton that reference an action on my controller and the action returns a PageReference to a second visual force page. If I specify nothing then the page goes into the iframe in the account detail, not the idea, so I would need to add target=_top and force a client side redirect. However then the entire page is refreshed which makes it seem much slower than the original behavior with the s-control where only the account detail itself was refreshed. How can I obtain the same behavoir as the s-control linked to a custom button?
