With this code I want to show a jQuery UI dialog when I click on a button. However, the text of the dialog is shown for a brief time when the page loads. What is the right way to implement this?
My html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
</head>
<body>
.. html code ..
<button id="helpbutton" title="">Help</button>
<div id="helpdialog" title="Help dialog">
<p>Text in the dialog will be visible for a short time when the page loads</p>
</div>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="myJsFile.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
as you can see, I call my external scripts just before the end of the for performance reasons.
myJsFile.js:
//Fire up the help dialog when the help button is pressed
jQuery(function() {
jQuery( "#helpdialog" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false
});
jQuery( "#helpbutton" ).click(function() {
jQuery( "#helpdialog" ).dialog( "open" );
});
});
Solution (thanks to krzmig): Use this CSS code in the CSS file or in the section
#helpdialog {
display: none;
}
Did you load UI jQuery JS and CSS? Like in this example:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Dialog - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#dialog" ).dialog();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog">
<p>This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
source: https://jqueryui.com/dialog/
edit:
For not showing dialog box when site is loading put to your CSS file code:
#helpdialog {
display: none;
}
or add to <head> section if you don't have external CSS.
<style>
#helpdialog {
display: none;
}
</style>
First include jquery as well.
Second place your scripts before your dialog in html so that it loads and hides the dialog before it could show up itself on your page. Here's the code (keep your myJsFile.js intact):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<button id="helpbutton" title="">Help</button>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="myJsFile.js"></script>
<div id="helpdialog" title="Help dialog">
<p>Text in the dialog will NOT! be visible for a short time when the page loads</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You also need to include jquery main library. The required includes are jquery library, jquery ui js, and jquery ui css.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="myJsFile.js"></script

any help?
without css.
You can use jquery-ui tooltip for this purpose.
Here is link with the documentation with great examples: Link
Example from jqueryui site:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Tooltip - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
<script>
$(function() {
$( document ).tooltip();
});
</script>
<style>
label {
display: inline-block;
width: 5em;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Tooltips can be attached to any element. When you hover
the element with your mouse, the title attribute is displayed in a little box next to the element, just like a native tooltip.</p>
<p>But as it's not a native tooltip, it can be styled. Any themes built with
ThemeRoller
will also style tooltips accordingly.</p>
<p>Tooltips are also useful for form elements, to show some additional information in the context of each field.</p>
<p><label for="age">Your age:</label><input id="age" title="We ask for your age only for statistical purposes."></p>
<p>Hover the field to see the tooltip.</p>
</body>
</html>
This will show you some text when hovering the link:

I am new to javascript and am trying to make a simple dialog open when the page opens, but it simply just displays the text of the dialog as if its a normal paragraph, no dialog. Here's my index.html:
<html xmlns=\ "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\">
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Script-Type" CONTENT="text/javascript">
<script type='text/javascript' src='js/jquery.js'></script>
<title>Welcome to Jetty-9</title>
<style type="text/css" title="maincss">
#import url(maincss.css);
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog">
<p>This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And my maincss.css simply puts a background image in for the body nothing else, and the js/jquery.js file is the latest version of jquery, and I ensured it is linked right by loading the page, viewing page source, then opening the js file by clicking it
You need to include jQuery UI to take advantage of the dialog.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
You are missing jQuery UI. Include the below code in head of your page.
<link href='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.3/themes/black-tie/jquery-ui.min.css' rel='stylesheet' />
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.min.js'></script>
Visit here for more CDN links of various versions of jquery ui & its themes.
you have to import the JQuery UI's api's AFTER the JQuery main file
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>
This way is should work:
<html xmlns=\ "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\">
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Script-Type" CONTENT="text/javascript">
<script type='text/javascript' src='js/jquery.js'></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<title>Welcome to Jetty-9</title>
<style type="text/css" title="maincss">
#import url(maincss.css);
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog">
<p>This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I'll assume you're trying to use jquery-ui dialog, if this is the case, you need to include jquery-ui files
These are latest versions from CDN
http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js
http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css
You could pick a different theme if required
Your code looks good and it is working. My guess is you're not properly importing the jQuery or jQuery UI.
Updated with reference to MaVRoSCy comments and take a look at this fiddle, working good.
I have an HTML page. I want to show a video on a javascript block UI anytime when a user lands on that page. Any help on it? Thanks.
Grab the fancybox code and then..
Example:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
// show modal window that has content of #popcontent div in its body
$.fancybox(
$('#popcontent").html(),
{
'autoDimensions': true,
'modal': true
}
);
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Some example page content</h1>
<div id="popcontent" style="display:none;">
<video src="yourlinktovideo.ogg" width="640" height="480"></video>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Popoup with a video player will be opened as soon as the DOM is ready (and the documentready event of jQuery if fired). In my example it is a modal window so user won't be able to close it to return to content of the page which is underneath.
I am using jQuery UI.Dialog. I'm having a small problem, when I click the link to show dialog box the text from #Test disappears and the modal overlay is shown but the actual modal box is not displayed.
Using FireBug the dialog box is created but has Display:None so is not shown. Also, if I change this in firebug to Display:Block the dialog is shown but it is on the left hand side of my page... any suggestions?
My code is very simple:
<head>
<link href="Vader/jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script src="javascripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/ui.core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/ui.draggable.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/ui.resizable.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/ui.dialog.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(function() {
$("a").click(function(){
$('#Test').css('display','inline');
$("#Test").dialog({modal: true});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
Test
<div id="Test" title="Test Title">Bla bla bla</div>
</body>
You might want to add to the click is e.preventDefault(); so it doesn't try to load the # which may refresh the page.
$("a").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('#Test').css('display','inline');
$("#Test").dialog({modal: true});
});
My guess would be it's not picking up your css file, have you confirmed it actually is?
There's nothing wrong with your code as far as I can tell, the following test works in my sandbox file
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<!-- Above Doctype should provide S mode in Moz, Safari, Opera, IE8 and A (almost standards) in IE6/7 -->
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/text+html;utf-8"/>
<title>Sandbox</title>
<link type="text/css" href="http://jqueryui.com/latest/themes/base/ui.all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jquery", "1.3.2");
google.load("jqueryui", "1.7.0");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function(){
$('#Test').css('display','inline');
$("#Test").dialog({modal: true});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
Test
<div id="Test" title="Test Title">Bla bla bla</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<A> is not a block-level structure, that might be causing some trouble.
Try wrapping it up in a DIV, then make that div in the dialog instead.
I had the same problem and it turned out that the CSS file was not being found. Use firebug to load the css file. You might find that what shows up in Firebug is a "404 Not found".
I have a page, i want it to display some content in a modal dialog (jquery UI dialog) as soon as the page is loaded.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#example").dialog();
});
<div id="example" class="flora" title="This is my title">
I'm in a dialog!
</div>
Thanks
Your div tag isn't properly formatted and it needs to be closed. The following worked for me, but it needs proper CSS files.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="jquery/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="jquery/jquery.ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#example").dialog({modal: true});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="example" class="flora" title="This is my title">
I'm in a dialog!
</div>
</body>
</html>
Wayne Khan is right in that
the default behavior is to open when you call dialog(), unless you set autoOpen to false.
and tvanfosson has it nearly correct, though the default dialog is not Modal. To display a modal window, you must set the modal option to true
To illustrate, here's a trimmed-down excerpt from a small project I was working on tonight:
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./jquery-ui-personalized-1.6rc6.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./init.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./css.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#exampleNode').dialog({
modal: 'true'
});
});
</script>
...
