I am dynamically appending a <div> to the body of my webpage. This <div> does not exist on my .html page.
Within this <div> I am creating a Jquery UI YES NO box. Quite simply, it will 'do something' and close the box when YES, and just close the box when NO.
I have a working piece of code to create this box. However, frequently it takes two clicks of the YES button to work, which is very confusing. You'll see I have used a variety of methods to close the box.
$(function () {
$('body').append('<div id="dialog-confirm"></div>').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog("open");
});
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
autoOpen: true,
height: 200,
width: 200,
modal: true,
title: 'Choose item?',
buttons:
{
'YES': function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
//$("#dialog-confirm").dialog("close");
//$('body').remove('#dialog-confirm');
$('#dialog-confirm').remove();
},
'NO': function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
//$("#dialog-confirm").dialog("close");
//$('body').remove('#dialog-confirm');
$('#dialog-confirm').remove();
}
}
});
});
The problem is that there is a race condition between your adding the div and attaching the click handler. Sometimes it happens before, sometimes after. That's why you get inconsistent click behavior. Try the following:
$(function() {
$('body').append('<div id="dialog-confirm"></div>');
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
autoOpen : true,
height : 200,
width : 200,
modal : true,
title : 'Choose item?',
buttons : {
'YES' : function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
// $("#dialog-confirm").dialog("close");
// $('body').remove('#dialog-confirm');
$('#dialog-confirm').remove();
},
'NO' : function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
// $("#dialog-confirm").dialog("close");
// $('body').remove('#dialog-confirm');
$('#dialog-confirm').remove();
}
}
});
$('#dialog-confirm').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog("open");
});
});

I am displaying a dialog box on opening of the page. But the problem is when I click on one of the buttons of dialog box, the dialog box window does not close. I don't know why.
Here is my code :
$(document).ready(function() {
var x=$('#loginstatus').val();
if(x==1){
$("#dialog").html("Do You Want to go for Face Recognition and Detection?");
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
title: "Permission for Face Recognition",
width: 600,
height: 300,
resizable: false,
buttons: {
"Yes,Why Not": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
callback("1");
},
"No,Thanx": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
callback("2");
}
}
});
}
});
And in html I have the dialog div and other necessary inputs.
Html:
<div name="dialog" id="dialog"></div>
<input type="hidden" name="loginstatus" id="loginstatus" value="<%=firstlogin%>"/>
test this, I made some changes in button :
$(document).ready(function() {
var x=$('#loginstatus').val();
if(x==1){
$("#dialog").html("Do You Want to go for Face Recognition and Detection?");
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
title: "Permission for Face Recognition",
width: 600,
height: 300,
resizable: false,
buttons: {
"Yes,Why Not": function() {
callback("1");
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel: function() {
callback("2");
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
}
});
Try
$("#dialog").dialog('close');
instead of
$(this).dialog("close");
It's not quite recommended to use this unless you are absolutely sure about the scope.
$('#dialog').click(function() {
$('.dialog').hide();
});
I have got a jquery dialog with autoOpen set to false:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#test').text("hello!").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
});
});
I trigger the dialog like this:
$('x').click(function() {$('#test').dialog('open');});
I want to add buttons with some functionality on open, something like this:
$('x').click(function() {$('#test').dialog('open', 'option', 'buttons', {
'Ok': function() {
myFunction();
$(this).dialog('close');
}
});
});
But no luck so far, any help?
Change the third part like :
open: function (type, data) {
$(this).parent().appendTo("form");
},
buttons: { "Ok": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); } }
yesterday I started working on a Jquery Dialog box to replace the default confirm box that jquery has... I came across an issue and all the tutorials I see tell me to use .submit() on my form but that does not seem to want to play nicely (or play at all for that matter)
This is the JSFIDDLE
And now this is my javascript that is not working for me :
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(function() {
var currentForm;
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
resizable: false,
autoOpen: false,
draggable: false,
height: 310,
width: 500,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Cancel': function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
'Enter Queue': function() {
currentForm.submit();
}
}
});
});
$("#signinform").submit(function() {
currentForm = this;
$('#dialog-confirm').dialog('open');
return false;
});
});
</script>
The problem is happening at the "Enter Queue" button. Pretty much the scenario (as it is shown on the jsfiddle) is I need users to acknowledge the rules of the office, and if they do so they click on a check-box, once they do so then they click Submit, which then sends a dialog explaining to the user what they are getting into. However for some reason the "Enter Queue" button does nothing. I am quite confused. Any help would be great.
Thanks
It's because your re-using the $(document).on('submit', "#signinform", function(e) method
which got e.preventDefault(); for first instruction when you call $('#signinform').submit();.
You need to set a temporary variable to see wether you come from your code or the submit button.
Here is a JSFiddle with a working test, but you should do something nicer =)
EDIT : Javascript is an asynchronous langage, it means that your $('#dialog-confirm').dialog('open'); doesn't block and just modify the html, so the submit event always will return false -> it will never be sent.
So I get that JSFiddle which not really works like you want but if you trigger the submit button a second time after clicked the Enter Queue button it will work, so i'm wondering why the submit() method don't work when called from here.
A method you could use is to send the form with ajax (look at post() in jquery) and then redirect your user with something like window.location = "yourpage".
Try this way (jsFiddle):
$(document).ready(function() {
window.enterQueue=false;
$("#signinform input:submit").on('click',function() {
return getDialog(window.enterQueue);
});
function getDialog(enterQueue){
if(!enterQueue){
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
resizable: false,
autoOpen: true,
draggable: false,
height: 310,
width: 500,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Cancel': function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
'Enter Queue': function() {
window.enterQueue=true;
$(this).dialog("close");
$("#signinform input:submit").trigger('click');
}
}
});
return false;
} else
return true;
}
});
I figured it out last night with the help of jquery website and a lot of google-ing. Thanks to the both of you for your help and time it took for the answers. + 1
This is my solution :
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
var Form = $("#signinform");
$(function()
{
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog(
{
resizable: false,
autoOpen: false,
dialogClass: "no-close",
draggable: false,
height: 320,
width: 500,
modal: true,
buttons:
{
'Cancel': function()
{
$(this).dialog("close");
Form.data("confirmProgress", false);
},
'Submit Information': function()
{
Form.submit();
Form.data("confirmProgress", false);
}
}
});
});
Form.submit(function()
{
if (!$(this).data("confirmProgress"))
{
$(this).data("confirmProgress", true);
$('#dialog-confirm').dialog('open');
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
});
});
// Everything under this is the Jquery for my second Dialog that has always been working, the issue was the above dialog which is now fixed.
$(document).on('click', "#Cancel", function(e)
{
e.preventDefault();
var href = '<?php echo base_url(); ?>studentlogin_controller/studentlogin';
$("#dialog-noconfirm").dialog(
{
resizable: false,
dialogClass: "no-close",
draggable: false,
height: 320,
width: 500,
modal: true,
buttons:
{
"Cancel": function()
{
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"Go Back": function()
{
window.location.href = href;
},
}
});
});
</script>
I'm using alert() to output my validation errors back to the user as my design does not make provision for anything else, but I would rather use jQuery UI dialog as the alert dialog box for my message.
Since errors are not contained in a (html) div, I am not sure how to go about doing this. Normally you would assign the dialog() to a div say $("#divName").dialog() but I more need a js function something like alert_dialog("Custom message here") or something similiar.
Any ideas?
I don't think you even need to attach it to the DOM, this seems to work for me:
$("<div>Test message</div>").dialog();
Here's a JS fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/TpTNL/98
Using some of the info in here I ended up creating my own function to use.
Could be used as...
custom_alert();
custom_alert( 'Display Message' );
custom_alert( 'Display Message', 'Set Title' );
jQuery UI Alert Replacement
function custom_alert( message, title ) {
if ( !title )
title = 'Alert';
if ( !message )
message = 'No Message to Display.';
$('<div></div>').html( message ).dialog({
title: title,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Ok': function() {
$( this ).dialog( 'close' );
}
}
});
}
Building on eidylon's answer, here's a version that will not show the title bar if TitleMsg is empty:
function jqAlert(outputMsg, titleMsg, onCloseCallback) {
if (!outputMsg) return;
var div=$('<div></div>');
div.html(outputMsg).dialog({
title: titleMsg,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"OK": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: onCloseCallback
});
if (!titleMsg) div.siblings('.ui-dialog-titlebar').hide();
}
see jsfiddle
Just throw an empty, hidden div onto your html page and give it an ID. Then you can use that for your jQuery UI dialog. You can populate the text just like you normally would with any jquery call.
As mentioned by nux and micheg79 a node is left behind in the DOM after the dialog closes.
This can also be cleaned up simply by adding:
$(this).dialog('destroy').remove();
to the close method of the dialog.
Example adding this line to eidylon's answer:
function jqAlert(outputMsg, titleMsg, onCloseCallback) {
if (!titleMsg)
titleMsg = 'Alert';
if (!outputMsg)
outputMsg = 'No Message to Display.';
$("<div></div>").html(outputMsg).dialog({
title: titleMsg,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"OK": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: function() { onCloseCallback();
/* Cleanup node(s) from DOM */
$(this).dialog('destroy').remove();
}
});
}
EDIT: I had problems getting callback function to run and found that I had to add parentheses () to onCloseCallback to actually trigger the callback. This helped me understand why: In JavaScript, does it make a difference if I call a function with parentheses?
DAlert jQuery UI Plugin Check this out, This may help you
I took #EkoJR's answer, and added an additional parameter to pass in with a callback function to occur when the user closes the dialog.
function jqAlert(outputMsg, titleMsg, onCloseCallback) {
if (!titleMsg)
titleMsg = 'Alert';
if (!outputMsg)
outputMsg = 'No Message to Display.';
$("<div></div>").html(outputMsg).dialog({
title: titleMsg,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"OK": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: onCloseCallback
});
}
You can then call it and pass it a function, that will occur when the user closes the dialog, as so:
jqAlert('Your payment maintenance has been saved.',
'Processing Complete',
function(){ window.location = 'search.aspx' })
There is an issue that if you close the dialog it will execute the onCloseCallback function. This is a better design.
function jAlert2(outputMsg, titleMsg, onCloseCallback) {
if (!titleMsg)
titleMsg = 'Alert';
if (!outputMsg)
outputMsg = 'No Message to Display.';
$("<div></div>").html(outputMsg).dialog({
title: titleMsg,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"OK": onCloseCallback,
"Cancel": function() {
$( this ).dialog( "destroy" );
}
},
});
Use this code syntax.
$("<div></div>").html("YOUR MESSAGE").dialog();
this works but it append a node to the DOM.
You can use a class and then or first remove all elements with that class.
ex:
function simple_alert(msg)
{
$('div.simple_alert').remove();
$('<div></div>').html(is_valid.msg).dialog({dialogClass:'simple_alert'});
}
Ok i got this code:
$(document).ready(
function() {
$(".dialogDiv").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
position: [50, 50],
buttons: {
"Print page": function() {
alert("Print");
},
"Cancel": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
}
);
$('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:contains("Print page")').attr("id", "dialog_print-button");
$(".dialogDiv").parent().appendTo($('form'));
}
How do I assign or set a new function to the click event?
$("#dialog_print-button"). ???
Edit, This works:
$("#dialog_print-button").unbind("click").click(
function () {
alert("new function that overide the old ones")
}
)
Tried to find how to do in the jQuery documentation but I think it's hard to find around in the documentation. Especially when new to javaScript and the jQuery libary.
Edit, A fast way to get help is to go to jQuery irc channel :D
I think this would help:
$(".dialogDiv").dialog("option", "buttons", {
"Print page": function() { /* new action */ },
"Cancel": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); }
});
Because buttons property sets all the buttons, you have to include cancel button handler.
$("#Print page").click(function () {
...
});
Or maybe it should be
$("#dialog_print-button").click(function () {
...
});
jQuery UI dialog buttons now supports the "id" attribute natively.
$("#dialog-form").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: "auto",
width: 300,
buttons:
[
{
text: "Create Revision",
id: "btnCreateRev",
click: function () {
//code for creating a revision
}
},
{
text: "Cancel",
id: "btnCancel",
click: function () { $(this).dialog("close"); },
}
]
});
You put the code within the button section:
...
buttons: {
"Print page": function() {
//here you execute the code or call external functions as needed
}
Once you click the button on the Dialog, that code is automatically invoked.
Therefore you insert there directly the code that implements your logic.
