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").dialog('close') not working with button on separate view

I have an ASP.NET view in an MVC project in which I am trying to create a pop-up dialog to create data. There is another view that gets loaded and that view has a button with the id "btncancel_create". I cannot get that button to close the dialog. I am using jQuery 2.1.3 and jQuery UI 1.11.4.
Here is the code for the button:
<input type="button" value="Cancel" id="btncancel_create" />
And here is the view:
$(document).ready(function () {
//alert("Document is ready");
var url = "";
$("#dialog-create").dialog({
title: 'Create User',
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
width: 400,
show: { effect: 'drop', direction: "up" },
modal: true,
draggable: true,
open: function (event, ui) {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide();
$(this).load(url);
}
});
$("#lnkCreate").on("click", function (e) {
url = $(this).attr('href');
$("#dialog-create").dialog('open');
return false;
});
//$("#btncancel_create").on("click", function (e) {
// $("#dialog-create").dialog("close");
// return false;
//});
$("#dialog-create").button("#btncancel_create").click(function (e) {
alert("btncancel_create was clicked");
$("#dialog-create").dialog('close');
return false;
});
});
<div id="dialog-create" style="display: none"></div>
<p>#Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create", null, new { id = "lnkCreate" })</p>
As you can see, I tried something else which didn't work, which is commented out. The uncommented button click function does return the alert, but does not close the dialog. Thanks in advance for your help, and please let me know if you need any more information.

Instead of
$("#btncancel_create").on("click", function (e) {...
(in my commented out code above)
it should be
$(document).on("click", "#btncancel_create", function (e) {....

overriding the javascript ALERT to jquery dialog

I was trying to do the magic and turn all of my platform javascript alerts to jquery dialog, I followed the following scripts
<div id="overrideAlert"></div>
<script>
window.alert = function(message) {
$('#overrideAlert').text(message).dialog({
modal:true,
title:'Message',
buttons: {
'OK':function(){
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}
});
};
</script>
But no luck.
Is there a clean solution for this? Thanks,

I would prefer a dynamic div instead
$('<div />').text(message).dialog({
modal:true,
title:'Message',
buttons: {
'OK':function(){
$(this).dialog('close');
}
},
close:function(){ $(this).dialog('destroy').remove(); }
});
DEMO.

It just works.
Check at the jsfiddle demo.
Note: you can't call alert('foo'); directly inside the <head>'s <script> tags, because the div element is not ready on the dom.

Your code looks fine, but make sure that you add jquery and jquery-ui libraries to your page.
Demo: Plunker

If we are submitting page before alert is going automatically.
some saved successfully messages there but not asking for "ok".
I have done overriding of alert.any suggestion.
window.alert = function(message, fallback){
$(document.createElement('div')).attr({title: 'Alert', 'class': 'alert'}).html(message).dialog({
buttons: {OK: function(){$(this).dialog('close'); callback()}},
autoOpen: true,
close:function(){$(this).remove();},
draggable: true,
modal: false,
resizable: false,
height:'auto',
width: 'auto'
});

Passing data to a jQuery UI Dialog

I'm developing an ASP.Net MVC site and on it I list some bookings from a database query in a table with an ActionLink to cancel the booking on a specific row with a certain BookingId like this:
My bookings
<table cellspacing="3">
<thead>
<tr style="font-weight: bold;">
<td>Date</td>
<td>Time</td>
<td>Seats</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td style="width: 120px;">2008-12-27</td>
<td style="width: 120px;">13:00 - 14:00</td>
<td style="width: 100px;">2</td>
<td style="width: 60px;">cancel</td>
<td style="width: 80px;">change</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 120px;">2008-12-27</td>
<td style="width: 120px;">15:00 - 16:00</td>
<td style="width: 100px;">3</td>
<td style="width: 60px;">cancel</td>
<td style="width: 80px;">change</td>
</tr>
</table>
What would be nice is if I could use the jQuery Dialog to popup a message asking if the user is sure he wants to cancel the booking. I have been trying get this to work but I keep getting stuck on how to create a jQuery function that accepts parameters so that I can replace the
cancel
with
cancel.
The ShowDialog function would then open the dialog and also pass the paramter 10 to the dialog so that if the user clicks yes then It will post the href: /Booking.aspx/Change/10
I have created the jQuery Dialog in a script like this:
$(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
buttons: {
"Yes": function() {
alert("a Post to :/Booking.aspx/Cancel/10 would be so nice here instead of the alert");},
"No": function() {$(this).dialog("close");}
},
modal: true,
overlay: {
opacity: 0.5,
background: "black"
}
});
});
and the dialog itself:
<div id="dialog" title="Cancel booking">Are you sure you want to cancel your booking?</div>
So finally to my question: How can I accomplish this? or is there a better way of doing it?

jQuery provides a method which store data for you, no need to use a dummy attribute or to find workaround to your problem.
Bind the click event:
$('a[href*=/Booking.aspx/Change]').bind('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#dialog-confirm")
.data('link', this) // The important part .data() method
.dialog('open');
});
And your dialog:
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
height:200,
modal: true,
buttons: {
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
},
'Delete': function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
var path = $(this).data('link').href; // Get the stored result
$(location).attr('href', path);
}
}
});

You could do it like this:
mark the <a> with a class, say "cancel"
set up the dialog by acting on all elements with class="cancel":
$('a.cancel').click(function() {
var a = this;
$('#myDialog').dialog({
buttons: {
"Yes": function() {
window.location = a.href;
}
}
});
return false;
});
(plus your other options)
The key points here are:
make it as unobtrusive as possible
if all you need is the URL, you already have it in the href.
However, I recommend that you make this a POST instead of a GET, since a cancel action has side effects and thus doesn't comply with GET semantics...

In terms of what you are doing with jQuery, my understanding is that you can chain functions like you have and the inner ones have access to variables from the outer ones. So is your ShowDialog(x) function contains these other functions, you can re-use the x variable within them and it will be taken as a reference to the parameter from the outer function.
I agree with mausch, you should really look at using POST for these actions, which will add a <form> tag around each element, but make the chances of an automated script or tool triggering the Cancel event much less likely. The Change action can remain as is because it (presumably just opens an edit form).

I have now tried your suggestions and found that it kinda works,
The dialog div is alsways written out in plaintext
With the $.post version it actually works in terms that the controller gets called and actually cancels the booking, but the dialog stays open and page doesn't refresh.
With the get version window.location = h.ref works great.
Se my "new" script below:
$('a.cancel').click(function() {
var a = this;
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
buttons: {
"Ja": function() {
$.post(a.href);
},
"Nej": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); }
},
modal: true,
overlay: {
opacity: 0.5,
background: "black"
}
});
$("#dialog").dialog('open');
return false;
});
});
Any clues?
oh and my Action link now looks like this:
<%= Html.ActionLink("Cancel", "Cancel", new { id = v.BookingId }, new { #class = "cancel" })%>

Looking at your code what you need to do is add the functionality to close the window and update the page. In your "Yes" function you should write:
buttons: {
"Ja": function() {
$.post(a.href);
$(a). // code to remove the table row
$("#dialog").dialog("close");
},
"Nej": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); }
},
The code to remove the table row isn't fun to write so I'll let you deal with the nitty gritty details, but basically, you need to tell the dialog what to do after you post it. It may be a smart dialog but it needs some kind of direction.

After SEVERAL HOURS of try/catch I finally came with this working example, its working on AJAX POST with new rows appends to the TABLE on the fly (that was my real problem):
Tha magic came with link this:
remove
remove
remove
This is the final working with AJAX POST and Jquery Dialog:
<script type= "text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/
var $k = jQuery.noConflict(); //this is for NO-CONFLICT with scriptaculous
function removecompany(link){
companyid = link.id.replace('remove_', '');
$k("#removedialog").dialog({
bgiframe: true,
resizable: false,
height:140,
autoOpen:false,
modal: true,
overlay: {
backgroundColor: '#000',
opacity: 0.5
},
buttons: {
'Are you sure ?': function() {
$k(this).dialog('close');
alert(companyid);
$k.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "../ra/removecompany.php",
dataType: "json",
data: {
'companyid' : companyid
},
success: function(data) {
//alert(data);
if(data.success)
{
//alert('success');
$k('#companynew'+companyid).remove();
}
}
}); // End ajax method
},
Cancel: function() {
$k(this).dialog('close');
}
}
});
$k("#removedialog").dialog('open');
//return false;
}
/*]]>*/</script>
<div id="removedialog" title="Remove a Company?">
<p><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-alert" style="float:left; margin:0 7px 20px 0;"></span>
This company will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Are you sure?</p>
</div>

This work for me:
SPOSTA
function sposta(id) {
$("#sposta").data("id",id).dialog({
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
buttons: { "Sposta": function () { alert($(this).data('id')); } }
});
}
When you click on "Sposta" in dialog alert display 100

Ok the first issue with the div tag was easy enough:
I just added a style="display:none;" to it and then before showing the dialog I added this in my dialog script:
$("#dialog").css("display", "inherit");
But for the post version I'm still out of luck.

Just give you some idea may help you, if you want fully control dialog, you can try to avoid use of default button options, and add buttons by yourself in your #dialog div. You also can put data into some dummy attribute of link, like Click. call attr("data") when you need it.

A solution inspired by Boris Guery that I employed looks like this:
The link:
<a href="#" class = "remove {id:15} " id = "mylink1" >This is my clickable link</a>
bind an action to it:
$('.remove').live({
click:function(){
var data = $('#'+this.id).metadata();
var id = data.id;
var name = data.name;
$('#dialog-delete')
.data('id', id)
.dialog('open');
return false;
}
});
And then to access the id field (in this case with value of 15:
$('#dialog-delete').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
position:'top',
width: 345,
resizable: false,
draggable: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
},
'Confirm delete': function() {
var id = $(this).data('id');
$.ajax({
url:"http://example.com/system_admin/admin/delete/"+id,
type:'POST',
dataType: "json",
data:{is_ajax:1},
success:function(msg){
}
})
}
}
});

i hope this helps
$("#dialog-yesno").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
closeOnEscape: false,
height:180,
width:350,
modal: true,
show: "blind",
open: function() {
$(document).unbind('keydown.dialog-overlay');
},
buttons: {
"Delete": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
var dir = $(this).data('link').href;
var arr=dir.split("-");
delete(arr[1]);
},
"Cancel": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
Delete

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();
});
