Problem with forms

Hi there,

I'm having a strange problem here with control.modal and form elements. I initialize a box using

$A(document.getElementsByClassName('modal-link')).each(function(elem) {
    new Control.Modal(elem,{
            containerClassName: 'box',
            overlayCloseOnClick: false,
            overlayClassName: 'box'
        });
    });

where 'modal-link' is the CSS class of a href pointing to '#my-form-box'. Now if I display the contents of my submitted form elements using alert(new Hash($('formId').serialize(true)).inspect());) I don't see any form elements (input/select/whatever) in the submitted values; however if I remove the 'modal-link' class from my link (thus removing the whole modal.control initialization) - everything works just as expected.

Do I miss something here?

TIA, jenner

Oh, and how does one check-out the latest sources from your SVN repo? Anonymous access is prohibited and I can't find any docs explaining how to get the credentials :)

It seems to be a bug in IE with the getElementsByClassName function. I'm trying to rewrite my own stuff to use the $$() function instead.

I am getting the same problem, I cannot access any form element using $F(element) or $(element).value but as soon as i remove all modal class, then all works fine

My html code

              Please login
              Username
                Password
                 
                   
                 
                forgot password?

modal class initialization

function showLoginBox() {
    loginHtml = $('loginDialogBox').innerHTML;
    winlogin = new Control.Modal(false,{
        contents: loginHtml,
        opacity: 0.8,
        position: 'absolute',
        width: 300,
        height: 175,
        fade: true,
        overlayCloseOnClick: false
    });
    winlogin.open();
}

accessing the two variables using Prototype after the modal window is open.

alert($F('login_username'));
Any help?
P.S. tested it in FF and IE, both have same problem
alert($F('login_password'));
