User Control in JQuery Dialog

I am having User Control in Jquery Dialog. When Page is loading for the first, User Control page load event is firing. On dialog popup, page load is not firing and eventually Button click events are not firing. Below is my Jquery code.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#imgSearch").click(function (e) {
$("#divSearch").dialog({
open: function() {
$(this).closest(".ui-dialog")
.find(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close")
.removeClass("ui-dialog-titlebar-close");
},
title: "Search Employee",
modal:true,
width: 600,
height: 400
});
e.preventDefault();
});
});

JqueryUI Tooltip on modal button re-appears on modal close

Hi there StackOverflowvians!
I'm learning to Javascript and JQuery and I've got a connundrum I'm not solving very well. I've used JqueryUI tooltips on some buttons. The tooltip uses the following code to display. I realize that my structure and organizational skills with regards to code suck, and there's probably a million more efficient ways to do what I'm doing, but bear with me - This is quite literally my first attempt at any kind of javascript.
$(function() {
$("#button-menu").tooltip({
position: {
my: "top",
at: "bottom+10",
using: function( position, feedback ) {
$( this ).css( position );
$( "<div>" ).addClass( "arrow" ).addClass( "top" ).appendTo( this );
}
}
});
$("#button-menu").tooltip({ hide: { effect: "fadeOut", duration: 100 }, show: { effect: "fadeIn", duration: 100 }});
});
So I'm calling a tooltip when you hover on the buttons, it's pretty and does what I want. A couple of the buttons when you click them lead to Modal Dialog windows. If one clicks a.search, one gets a modal dialog window with a search form. If one decides to simply close the modal window, it closes and whatnot. I note that when the modal is open, the tooltip closes and the state of the button returns to unfocused. When I close the Modal, the tooltip returns as if I'm hovering on the button - no matter where my mouse is positioned.
I tried to call blur on close for the button item for all buttons in the div, but to no avail. I might try setting a timeout on that function next, because somewhere the tooltip function is re-instating the aria-tooltip class after the button close event and I suppose if I can wait it out I can close it after it opens, but that feels sloppy. The code below was my interpretation of the correct way to call a dialog and close the tooltip for the button on dialog close, but it doesn't do what I think it should. The tooltip still re-appears
$(function() {
$( "#searchform" ).dialog({
modal: true,
autoOpen: false,
close: function( event, ui ) {$('a.search').blur();},
show: {
effect: "fade",
duration: 500
},
hide: {
effect: "fade",
duration: 1000
}
});
$( "a.search" ).click(function() {
$( "#searchform" ).dialog( "open" );
});
});
edit: I suppose I should ask the question - why is this behavior happening, and is there something I can do identify how that tooltip is firing, or just stop it from reappearing when I close the modal?

The Dialog widget has an open() event. I'd be inclined to us it to disable tooltips (like so), and re-enable them on close() by naming your init function and calling it.
Something like:
$('.dialogSelector').dialog({
open: function( event, ui ) {
$('.tooltipSelector').tooltip('disable');
}
});
$('.dialogSelector').dialog({
close: function( event, ui ) {
$('.tooltipSelector').tooltip();
// OR
myTooltipFunction();
}
});

I was having the same problem. What solved it for me was adding an 'Ok' buton
$("#dialog").dialog({
resizable: false,
autoOpen: false,
height: 200,
width: 440,
modal: false,
buttons: {
"Ok": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});

Jquery UI Modal anonymous function callback to open dialog

I'm trying to create a function like function(url,class) to create a modal,load in a page and then display it. however this function is dynamically called from reflection of method names in a SignalR hub, each time it opens up all modals, I need to be able to pass in a div ID unique to open up just the modal created in that instance, I have spent a while on this and have the below but can't get it to work... Please help!!!!
I think it needs to be some kind of anonymous callback, I have also messed about with eval() to no avail, thoughts?
So modalGo('/x.html','divid')
would create a modal open only for the specific variable created div?
function modalGo(url,x) {
var $dialog = $('<div id ="' + x + '></div>').load(url).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
height: 625,
width: 500,
title: "",
zIndex: 190000
}, function() {
$(document.getElementById(x)).dialog('open');
});
}

i think you must append the div dialog
http://jsfiddle.net/NdN2L/
$(function(){
function modalGo(url,x) {
var dialog = $('<div>Ciao compa</div>');
$('#bibi').append(dialog);
dialog.dialog({
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
height: 625,
width: 500,
title: "",
zIndex: 190000
}).show();
}
modalGo('http://www.pippo.com','test');
});

ui Dialog works once in IE

I hope someone can help with this problem. I am using ui Dialog that pops up on clicking a link with the same class. The problem is that the link work great once but if i click it again or another link with the same class then only the overlay loads but not the content box in IE only. It works great in firefox.
My script includes an ajax post, if i remove the ajax code then the box works fine on every click.
My code:
$().ready(function() {
$('#dialog').dialog({
autoOpen:false,
title: $(this).attr("title"),
modal: true, width: 450, height:"auto", resizable: false,
close: function(ev, ui) { $(this).remove(); },
overlay: {
opacity: 0.5,
background: "black"
}
});
$(".mybutton").click(function(){
$.post($(this).attr("href"), { },
function(data) {
$('#dialog').html(data);
}
);
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
return false;
});
});
I have multiple links with the class "mybutton" and a div with the id #dialog . I am also using the latest version of jQuery and ui.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I am using IE8, jQuery 1.3.2, jQuery UI 1.7.1

The post is done asynchronously by default. It looks like you expect it to be synchronous. Try moving the open of the dialog into the callback after the data is set rather than in the click function -- which may execute before the callback returns.

move the open into the callback...
$('#dialog').html(data).dialog('open');

I was having the same problem. I resolved it by managing the state of the Dialog myself...creating a new one and disposing of it each time.
function makeDialog()
{
var html = '';
html += '<div>My dialog Html...</div>';
return $(html).dialog(
{
position: 'center',
modal: true,
width: 518,
height: 630,
autoOpen: false,
close: function() { $j(this.remove(); }
});
}

jquery-ui-dialog - How to hook into dialog close event

I am using the jquery-ui-dialog plugin
I am looking for way to refresh the page when in some circumstances when the dialog is closed.
Is there a way to capture a close event from the dialog?
I know I can run code when the close button is clicked but that doesn't cover the user closing with escape or the x in the top right corner.

I have found it!
You can catch the close event using the following code:
$('div#popup_content').on('dialogclose', function(event) {
alert('closed');
});
Obviously I can replace the alert with whatever I need to do.
Edit: As of Jquery 1.7, the bind() has become on()

I believe you can also do it while creating the dialog (copied from a project I did):
dialog = $('#dialog').dialog({
modal: true,
autoOpen: false,
width: 700,
height: 500,
minWidth: 700,
minHeight: 500,
position: ["center", 200],
close: CloseFunction,
overlay: {
opacity: 0.5,
background: "black"
}
});
Note close: CloseFunction

$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
width: 400,
height: 140,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"SUBMIT": function() {
$("form").submit();
},
"CANCEL": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: function() {
alert('close');
}
});

$( "#dialogueForm" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: "auto",
width: "auto",
modal: true,
my: "center",
at: "center",
of: window,
close : function(){
// functionality goes here
}
});
"close" property of dialog gives the close event for the same.

U can also try this
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: true,
height: 400,
width: 150,
position: 'center',
title: 'Term Sheet',
beforeClose: function(event, ui) {
console.log('Event Fire');
},
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Submit": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"Cancel": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});

This is what worked for me...
$('#dialog').live("dialogclose", function(){
//code to run on dialog close
});

As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method is the preferred method for attaching event handlers to a document.
Because no one actually created an answer with using .on() instead of bind() i decided to create one.
$('div#dialog').on('dialogclose', function(event) {
//custom logic fired after dialog is closed.
});

add option 'close' like under sample and do what you want inline function
close: function(e){
//do something
}

If I'm understanding the type of window you're talking about, wouldn't $(window).unload() (for the dialog window) give you the hook you need?
(And if I misunderstood, and you're talking about a dialog box made via CSS rather than a pop-up browser window, then all the ways of closing that window are elements you could register click handers for.)
Edit: Ah, I see now you're talking about jquery-ui dialogs, which are made via CSS. You can hook the X which closes the window by registering a click handler for the element with the class ui-dialog-titlebar-close.
More useful, perhaps, is you tell you how to figure that out quickly. While displaying the dialog, just pop open FireBug and Inspect the elements that can close the window. You'll instantly see how they are defined and that gives you what you need to register the click handlers.
So to directly answer your question, I believe the answer is really "no" -- there's isn't a close event you can hook, but "yes" -- you can hook all the ways to close the dialog box fairly easily and get what you want.

You may try the following code for capturing the closing event for any item : page, dialog etc.
$("#dialog").live('pagehide', function(event, ui) {
$(this).hide();
});
