fancybox not reopening after closing it

We're using fancybox 2 to launch a donation process in our app. Upon completion, the modal closes and opens up another "thank you" modal. We're seeing some odd behavior if you close that "thank you" modal and click on the "Donate" button again. The modal background overlay briefly appears and then disappears, and the modal doesn't show up. But, if you click it again, it works just fine.
I haven't been able to find any references to this happening to anyone else. We have a live demo where you can see the behavior here: https://demo.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=8558#donate
(The donation modal should open automatically, but if not, click "Support Me") Make a donation using a test credit card number (e.g., 4111111111111111) -- obviously, this won't actually charge you anything.
The relevant javascript code starts at line 162 if you view source. (I'll also include it at the end of this post).
I thought maybe it was because I wasn't explicitly closing any fancybox modals prior to opening the new ones, but that didn't change anything. So, I'm open to suggestions on what may be causing this. It's very weird.
Thanks!
Relevant JS:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
openExpressDonate = function() {
$.fancybox({
closeBtn: false,
closeEffect: 'none',
helpers : {
overlay : {
closeClick: false,
css: {'background-color': 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.60'},
locked: true
}
},
href: 'https://demo.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=expressDonate.modalparticipant&ParticipantID=8558',
margin: 0,
maxWidth: 400,
height: 'auto',
openEffect: 'none',
padding: 1,
scrolling: 'no',
type: 'iframe'
});
}
$('.js-express-donate').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (window.ga) {
ga('send', {
hitType: 'event',
eventCategory: 'Express Donate - Participant',
eventAction: 'Donation Started',
eventLabel: 'Event 1183'
});
}
openExpressDonate();
});
if (location.hash && location.hash == '#donate') {
$('.js-express-donate').click();
}
resizeExpressDonateModal = function() {
$.fancybox.update();
}
showExpressDonateThankYou = function(target, data) {
$.fancybox({
afterShow: function () {
fancyParent = $('.fancybox-wrap').parents(); // normally html and body
fancyParent.on('click.modalThanks', function () {
$.fancybox.close();
fancyParent.off('click.modalThanks');
});
$('.fancybox-wrap').on('click', function (event) {
// prevents closing when clicking inside the fancybox wrap
event.stopPropagation();
});
},
helpers : {
overlay : {
closeClick: false,
css: {'background-color': 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.60'},
locked: true
}
},
href: 'https://demo.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.modal' + target + 'ExpressDonateThanks&donorID=' + data.values.donorID + '&CSRFToken=' + data.values.CSRFToken + '&n=' + data.values.isNewConstituent,
margin: 0,
maxWidth: 400,
minHeight: 300,
modal: 1,
openEffect: 'none',
padding: 1,
scrolling: 'no',
type: 'iframe'
});
}
});
</script>

We've solved this. A fresh set of eyes found that we had an explicit fancybox.close() call that was firing when clicking on the "thank you" modal's parent (a holdover from another feature where we have such a modal, but the user can't re-open it from that same page). We removed that and it appears to be fixed.

Jquery .load() works locally but not on the server

I am not quite sure what is causing the issue here. I am trying to load a view into a Jquery dialog using the .load() function. On my local machine everything works fine, but on the server the URL that ends up being created is not correct because it is adding the parameter to the URL twice.
The links are dynamic from a webgrid which is where the #item.GrouperIDForLookip comes from.
<div id="groupersDialog"></div>
<a id="GrouperField_#item.GrouperIDForLookup" class="grouper">Groupers</a>
...
<script>
$(".grouper").on("click", function () {
var id = $(this).attr("id").split("_")[1];
$('#groupersDialog').dialog({
autoOpen: true,
width: 1000,
height: 600,
resizable: true,
draggable: true,
title: "Groupers",
model: true,
show: 'slide',
closeText: 'x',
dialogClass: 'alert',
closeOnEscape: true,
open: function () {
//Load the Partial View Here using Controller and Action
$('#groupersDialog').load('/Home/_Groupers/?GroupIDForLookup=' + id);
},
close: function () {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
});
});
</script>
On my local machine everything works fine and the URL for the load works. But on the server when running it the URL that ends up being created is %2fHome%2f_Groupers%2f%3fGroupIDForLookup%3d2&GroupIDForLookup=2 which doubles the GroupIDForLookup gives me a GET 404 (page not found).
Does anyone happen to know what would cause this to happen? If you need more code just let me know.

Please update the URL in the load function in the below code.
<div id="groupersDialog"></div>
<a id="GrouperField_#item.GrouperIDForLookup" class="grouper">Groupers</a>
...
<script>
$(".grouper").on("click", function () {
var id = $(this).attr("id").split("_")[1];
$('#groupersDialog').dialog({
autoOpen: true,
width: 1000,
height: 600,
resizable: true,
draggable: true,
title: "Groupers",
model: true,
show: 'slide',
closeText: 'x',
dialogClass: 'alert',
closeOnEscape: true,
open: function () {
//Load the Partial View Here using Controller and Action
$('#groupersDialog').load(
'#URL.Action("_Groupers", "Home")?GroupIDForLookup' + id);
},
close: function () {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
});
});
</script>

jquery dialog - cannot disable button on open

I want to disable some buttons (with some additional conditions) on jquery dialog show and I am unable to do this. I tried many different ways and none of them worked. I am out of ideas.
Example code attached (in coffeescript):
$('#messages').dialog({
height: 500,
width: 800,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
show: 'fade',
hide: 'clip',
buttons: [
{
id: "msg-close",
text: "Close",
click: ->
$('#msg-close').prop('disabled', true) //this one works
}
],
open: ->
$('#msg-close').prop('disabled', true) //this one doesnt work
});
$('#msg-close').prop('disabled', true) //this one doesnt work

open expects a function like this
open: function () {
$('#msg-close').prop('disabled', true);
}

How to make popup window in Liferay?

How to make popup window in Liferay?
This my code. It's like in Liferay Wiki.
var popup = new Liferay.Popup( {
header: 'our title',
position:[150,150],
modal:true, width:500,
height:300,
xy: ['center', 100],
url: '/my_file.jsp',
urlData: { winowState : 'LiferayWindowState.EXCLUSIVE'}
} );
What is missing?
PS: I'm trying to put it working in Liferay 6.0

On top of sandeepnair85's answer, to AJAX in content form your URI, you'll have to add the following code:
<aui:script use="aui-dialog">
function showPopup(){
var dialog = new A.Dialog({
title: 'DISPLAY CONTENT',
centered: true,
modal: true,
width: 200,
height: 200
}).plug(A.Plugin.IO, {
uri: 'http://myurl.com'
}).render();
}
</aui:script>
More details on how the A.Plugin.IO plugin works can be found here:
http://alloy.liferay.com/deploy/api/A.Plugin.IO.html

Hi can you try this code. Its a simple example on how to create popup in liferay usin AUI
<aui:script use="aui-dialog">
function showPopup(){
var dialog = new A.Dialog({
title: 'DISPLAY CONTENT',
centered: true,
modal: true,
width: 200,
height: 200,
bodyContent: "My First popup"
}).render();
}
</aui:script>

Problems with custom alert box via jqueryid dialog

I've been working on a custom alert box that has the same style as the rest of the website via jquery-ui. It was working well except that it wouldn't open more than once. As I was trying to fix that, I broke the whole thing some how, and now I get this error:
Node cannot be inserted at the specified point in the hierarchy" code: "3
Below is the code. doAlert() is a simple replacement for alert(). Later it will have more features. show_support() creates dialog box in a similar way to doAlert(), except that it works perfectly.
function doAlert(msg, title) {
var alert_box = $('body').append('<div id="alert_box" class="centered" style="padding:.5em;vertical-align:middle;display:none;"><p>' + msg + '</p></div>');
title = typeof(title) != 'undefined' ? title : 'Message';
alert_box.dialog({
modal: true,
title: title,
width: 400,
height: 150,
resizable: false,
overlay: {
opacity: 0.5,
background: 'black'
},
buttons: {
'Ok': function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
},
close: function() {
$(this).dialog('destroy').remove();
}
});
}
function show_support() {
var dialog = $('body').append('<div id="dialog_support" style="display:none;"></div>');
$('#dialog_support').load('/supporttracker', {action:'get_dialog'})
.dialog({
modal: true,
title: "Support",
width: 620,
height: 400,
buttons: {
"Send": function() {
if (!$('#issue_message').val()) {
doAlert('Your message cannot be blank. Please enter your message.');
return;
}
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/supporttracker',
data: 'action=add_simple&'+$('#issue').serialize(),
success: function(msg){
doAlert('Thank you. We will get to your question/issue as soon as we can. Usualy within 24 hours.');
$('#dialog_support').dialog('close');
},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
doAlert('An error accured: '+textStatus);
}
});
},
"Cancel": function() {$(this).dialog('close');}
},
close: function() {
$(this).remove();
}
});
}
Anyone have any ideas of how I messed up doAlert?

Look at the close method. doAlert seems to be doing a dialog('destroy'), then calling remove on it. show_support is simply removing the dialog from the DOM. I don't know what the dialog method returns so it may be that the DOM element isn't actually getting removed and thus reinserting it fails -- since you can't have to elements with the same id.
If it were me I'd create the dialog on page load (hidden), then simply update a message when it needs to be shown, and use open/close to reuse the element rather than recreating it.
<div id="alert_box" class="alert-dialog" style="display: none;">
<p id="alert_message">An error occurred.</p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#alert_box').dialog({
modal: true,
width: 400,
height: 150,
resizable: false,
overlay: {
opacity: 0.5,
background: 'black'
},
buttons: {
'Ok': function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}
});
});
function doAlert( msg, title )
{
$('#alert_message').html(msg);
$('#alert_box').attr( 'title', title )
.dialog('open');
}
</script>
