How to include jquery ui widgets inside a 2nd stacked modal dialog?

I currently have a form inside a modal dialog, which has a link to add/edit options in one of the select drop downs. This link opens a new modal dialog on top of the old one as I want. However, I can't seem to get any jquery ui widgets to work inside this second modal dialog (specifically the accordian and datepicker widgets). I have followed How to execute jquery inside a Modal window? and have both the accordian and datepicker widgets working in the 1st modal dialog.
Code I've been trying for 2nd modal dialog (not working):
$(document).on("click", ".view_dialog_2", function(event) {
$dialog_2.load($(this).attr('href'), function()
{
$('#accordian').addClass('accordian2');
$('#meeting_date').addClass('date2');
$('#follow_up_date').addClass('date2');
$(function() {
$( ".accordian2" ).accordion();
collapsible: true;
});
$(function() {
$( ".date2" ).datepicker();
});
$dialog_2.dialog('open');
});
return false;
});
Code that is currently working for 1st modal dialog:
$(".view_dialog").click(function(){
$dialog.load($(this).attr('href'), function()
{
$(function() {
$("#addPartNum, .order-button")
.button();
});
$(function() {
$( "#meeting_date" ).datepicker();
});
$(function() {
$( "#follow_up_date" ).datepicker();
});
$dialog.dialog('open');
});
return false;
});
I have tried removing the $(document).on event binding for the 2nd dialog but it just takes me to the linked page w/o any modal dialog. I tried adding the classes because I thought maybe there was a conflict since the datepickers are present in the 1st dialog as well.
This is my first project using jquery, and I've been getting it for the most part, but this one has me stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
EDIT: here is the dialog code for 2nd not working dialog (not sure if necessary or not)
var $dialog_2 = $("#view_dialog_2").dialog(
{
autoOpen: false,
height: 800,
width: 800,
resizable: true,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Submit": function() {
// do stuff
$dialog_2.dialog("close");
},
"Cancel": function() {
$dialog_2.dialog("close");
}
}
});
EDIT #2: here is a jsfiddle to kind of demonstrate my problem a bit more: https://jsfiddle.net/8pfjz3k5/

Might be more than one way to do this, but here is a simple example you can start from: https://jsfiddle.net/7xo1Lcy1/
HTML
<div id="start-box" title="First Form">
<p><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-alert" style="float:left; margin:0 7px 20px 0;"></span>Form</p>
<a id="add" href="#">Add/Edit</a>
<div id="add-box">
<label>Next</label>
<input type="text" />
</div>
<script>
$("#add-box").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: true,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Submit": function() {
// do stuff
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"Cancel": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
</script>
</div>
<a id="start" href="#dialog-conf">Start Here</a>
JQuery
$(function() {
$("#start-box").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
height: 340,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Save": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
$("#start").button();
$("#start").click(function() {
$("#start-box").dialog("open");
});
$("#start-box").on("click", "#add", function(e) {
console.log("Launching Add Box.");
$("#add-box").dialog("open");
});
});
So you can see I moved away from $(document) for the .on(). This should look for a Click event just when the dialog is open. It then opens the next dialog (the first still in the background).
I hope that helps.
EDIT
You didn't init the .accordion(). See update to your fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/Twisty/8pfjz3k5/2/
$("#accordian").accordion();
Make sure your selector is correct and you call the right methods.

Jquery Dialog function executing onload

When my page loads it automatically reloads the page due to the dialog functions having window.location.reload() in one of them. I am new to making jquery dialogs so any corrections will help
Here is the code
$("#CancelConfirmDialogDiv").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 600,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons:
{
"Yes": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
// redirect to the base admin/station page
var url = '#Url.Action("Users", "Admin")';
window.location.reload();
}
,
"No": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
Thanks in advance
When window.location.reload() is commented out the page no longer refreshes the page

It was a version compatibility issue thanks Radio

Pop up Modal Dialog Box

Using this post I've been able to implement a dialog box that appears once the form is loaded. I would however like to change this so that the user clicks a button for the dialog to appear.
I've followed the guidance provided, and removed this line $("#divdeps").dialog('open'); from the Javascript function as instructed, and added it to the 'onclick' event of my button i.e.
<button type="button" value="Upload" onclick="$('#divdeps').dialog('open');">Upload</button>
so my code is now:
<div id="divdeps" style="display: none">This is my div</div>
<button type="button" value="Upload" onclick="$('#divdeps').dialog('open');">Upload</button>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#divdeps").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
show: 'slide',
resizable: false,
position: 'center',
stack: true,
height: 'auto',
width: 'auto',
modal: true
});
// $("#divdeps").dialog('open');
});
</script>
However, I can't get this to work on the 'onclick' event of the button. I've been through the instructions quite a few times now and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
I just wondered whether someone could perhaps take a look at this please and let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Many thanks and regards

I would do it with the click function of jQuery instead of that dom level 0 handler:
$("#divdeps + button").click(function() { $("#divdeps").dialog('open'); });
Or of course you can give this button an id and do
$("#buttonID").click(function() { $("#divdeps").dialog('open'); });
Either of those sections of code would go in your document.ready handler.
Per Virendra's comment, your original button tag was wrong—you were missing a closing tag, and have mismatched quotes:
<button value="Upload" onclick="$("#divdeps").dialog('open');"</button>
should have been
<button value="Upload" onclick="$('#divdeps').dialog('open');"> </button>

Instead of $("#divdeps").dialog('open'); that you commented out, try:
$("button#give_it_some_id").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#divdeps").dialog('open');
})

Use this code its working in my application.
PopUpWindow = function (titles, message, redirectURL) {
document.getElementById('window').innerHTML = message;
$("#window").dialog({
resizable: true,
height: 180,
title: titles,
width: 500,
modal: false,
open: function () {
$('.ui-widget-overlay').show();
$('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close.ui-corner-all').hide();
},
buttons: {
"OK": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
if (redirectURL) {
window.location = redirectURL;
}
}
}
});
};
div tag
<div id="window" style="display: none;width:190px">
Let me know if you have any problem here.

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();
});
