I want to enable a button after that i have opened a jquery dialog with option modal set to true.The button obviously is outside the dialog. I already know that this seems to be a strange request but i need this behaviour because I have a form in the dialog so after click on the button to submit the data I have to append the dialog at the end of the form and then click agin on the button that now is outside of the dialog.
Thank you in advance.
Use te open event that is fired whenever the dialog is opened
$( ".selector" ).dialog({
open: function(event, ui) {
$('#yourhiddenbutton').show();
}
});
EDIT - you could do it like this
$(function() {
$("#dialogRifiuto").dialog({
width: 'auto',
autoOpen: true,
closeOnEscape: true,
modal: true,
resizable: false,
open: function(){
//change the z-index and position the div where you want
$('#a').css({'z-index': 1005, 'position': 'absolute', 'top': 0 });
},
close: function(){
//go back to normal
$('#a').css({'z-index': 1, 'position': 'static' });
}
})
});
You can enable the button using
$('#myButton').removeAttr('disabled');
I created a function that replaces the window.alert function with my own function that utilizes jquery.dialog. The problem is that in some functions I call that function and reload the page right afterwards. It is supposed to refresh it when user clicks "OK", but it is reloading the page by itself before I even click "OK".
Here's an example of call sequence in a function:
function UpdateCertSucccess(result) {
customAlert("Hello World");
window.location.href = "./SomePage.aspx";
}
And here's my defined customAlert()
function customAlert(message) {
if (!isOpen) {
$('#error-message-dialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false, bgiframe: true, position: ['center', 100], modal: true, zIndex: '6000', title: 'R+L Carriers Message', width: 475, height: 250,
buttons: {
"OK": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
isOpen = false;
}
}
});
var elements = message.split("|");
$('#spMessage').text(elements[0]);
$('#spCode').text(elements[1]);
$('#spTime').text(elements[2]);
$('#spServer').text(elements[3]);
$('#error-message-dialog').dialog('open');
isOpen = true;
}
else {
$('#spMessage').append("<br /><br />");
$('#spMessage').append(message);
}
return false;
};
What could be causing the page reload before I close the dialog and how can I fix it?
Thanks!
remove 'window.location.href = "./SomePage.aspx";' from 'UpdateCertSucccess()' function and place it in the function call after Ok click (ok click callback function where you closing the dialog box)
Only browser popups (alert, confirm...) can suspend the execution of a function. You can't achieve the same effect yourself, so you'll need to improve your code, add an "onclose" callback option or something.
I have a table that, when any row is clicked, launches a jQueryUI modal dialog box to allow users to edit that record. I use the following script which seems to work, successfully loading the relevant record's details in using AJAX:
$("#datatbl tr").bind('click', function() {
var url = 'item_edit.asp?id='+$(this).attr("data-myid");
var dialog = $('<div style="display:hidden" title="Record details:"></div>').appendTo('body');
// load remote content
dialog.load(
url,
{},
function (responseText, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
dialog.dialog({
height: 440,
width: 550,
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Update this record": function() {
$('#editform').submit();
},
Cancel: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
}
});
dialog.dialog('open');
}
);
//prevent the browser to follow the link
return false;
});
It works ok the first time I click on a record, but if I click cancel and try to edit another record, the dialog box does appear (with the correct record details) however, no scripts within the dialog box work - eg: there's a jqueryUI datepicker input and some validation.
There are no javascript errors and, from my limited understanding of FireBug, I can't spot anything going wrong so I would appreciate some advice how to proceed, thanks!
EDIT: Argh! Sometimes, it takes something like typing it out here to spot the obvious. I just realised that the DIV created for the dialog box doesn't get destroyed when the box closes. I've added a line to do this and it now works. Thanks for listening. :)
For future reference, I added an ID to the DIV created in 'var dialog' and removed it in the Cancel function:
Cancel: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
$('#dialogbox').remove();
}
I'd still appreciate if anybody suggests a better way to handle this behaviour.
I fixed it: the DIV created for the dialog box doesn't get destroyed when the box closes.
I added an ID to the DIV created in 'var dialog' and removed the DIV in the Cancel function:
Cancel: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
$('#dialogbox').remove();
}
You can create the dialog at one time only, not on every load of its content, just set the autoOpen to false.
<div id="dialog">
<div id="content" style="display:hidden" title="Record details:"></div>
</div>
$('#dialog').dialog({
height: 440,
width: 550,
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Update this record": function() {
$('#editform').submit();
},
Cancel: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
}
});
$("#datatbl tr").bind('click', function() {
var url = 'item_edit.asp?id='+$(this).attr("data-myid");
// load remote content
$('#content').load(url);
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
return false;
}};
I have a jQuery UI Dialog that gets displayed when specific elements are clicked. I would like to close the dialog if a click occurs anywhere other than on those triggering elements or the dialog itself.
Here's the code for opening the dialog:
$(document).ready(function() {
var $field_hint = $('<div></div>')
.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
minHeight: 50,
resizable: false,
width: 375
});
$('.hint').click(function() {
var $hint = $(this);
$field_hint.html($hint.html());
$field_hint.dialog('option', 'position', [162, $hint.offset().top + 25]);
$field_hint.dialog('option', 'title', $hint.siblings('label').html());
$field_hint.dialog('open');
});
/*$(document).click(function() {
$field_hint.dialog('close');
});*/
});
If I uncomment the last part, the dialog never opens. I assume it's because the same click that opens the dialog is closing it again.
Final Working Code
Note: This is using the jQuery outside events plugin
$(document).ready(function() {
// dialog element to .hint
var $field_hint = $('<div></div>')
.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
minHeight: 0,
resizable: false,
width: 376
})
.bind('clickoutside', function(e) {
$target = $(e.target);
if (!$target.filter('.hint').length
&& !$target.filter('.hintclickicon').length) {
$field_hint.dialog('close');
}
});
// attach dialog element to .hint elements
$('.hint').click(function() {
var $hint = $(this);
$field_hint.html('<div style="max-height: 300px;">' + $hint.html() + '</div>');
$field_hint.dialog('option', 'position', [$hint.offset().left - 384, $hint.offset().top + 24 - $(document).scrollTop()]);
$field_hint.dialog('option', 'title', $hint.siblings('label').html());
$field_hint.dialog('open');
});
// trigger .hint dialog with an anchor tag referencing the form element
$('.hintclickicon').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$($(this).get(0).hash + ' .hint').trigger('click');
});
});
Sorry to drag this up after so long but I used the below. Any disadvantages? See the open function...
$("#popup").dialog(
{
height: 670,
width: 680,
modal: true,
autoOpen: false,
close: function(event, ui) { $('#wrap').show(); },
open: function(event, ui)
{
$('.ui-widget-overlay').bind('click', function()
{
$("#popup").dialog('close');
});
}
});
Forget using another plugin:
Here are 3 methods to close a jquery UI dialog when clicking outside popin:
If the dialog is modal/has background overlay: http://jsfiddle.net/jasonday/6FGqN/
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#dialog").dialog({
bgiframe: true,
autoOpen: false,
height: 100,
modal: true,
open: function(){
jQuery('.ui-widget-overlay').bind('click',function(){
jQuery('#dialog').dialog('close');
})
}
});
});
If dialog is non-modal Method 1: method 1: http://jsfiddle.net/jasonday/xpkFf/
// Close Pop-in If the user clicks anywhere else on the page
jQuery('body')
.bind(
'click',
function(e){
if(
jQuery('#dialog').dialog('isOpen')
&& !jQuery(e.target).is('.ui-dialog, a')
&& !jQuery(e.target).closest('.ui-dialog').length
){
jQuery('#dialog').dialog('close');
}
}
);
Non-Modal dialog Method 2: http://jsfiddle.net/jasonday/eccKr/
$(function() {
$( "#dialog" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
minHeight: 100,
width: 342,
draggable: true,
resizable: false,
modal: false,
closeText: 'Close',
open: function() {
closedialog = 1;
$(document).bind('click', overlayclickclose);
},
focus: function() {
closedialog = 0;
},
close: function() {
$(document).unbind('click');
}
});
$('#linkID').click(function() {
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
closedialog = 0;
});
var closedialog;
function overlayclickclose() {
if (closedialog) {
$('#dialog').dialog('close');
}
//set to one because click on dialog box sets to zero
closedialog = 1;
}
});
Check out the jQuery Outside Events plugin
Lets you do:
$field_hint.bind('clickoutside',function(){
$field_hint.dialog('close');
});
Just add this global script, which closes all the modal dialogs just clicking outsite them.
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(document.body).on("click", ".ui-widget-overlay", function()
{
$.each($(".ui-dialog"), function()
{
var $dialog;
$dialog = $(this).children(".ui-dialog-content");
if($dialog.dialog("option", "modal"))
{
$dialog.dialog("close");
}
});
});;
});
$(".ui-widget-overlay").click (function () {
$("#dialog-id").dialog( "close" );
});
Fiddle showing the above code in action.
I had to do two parts. First the outside click-handler:
$(document).on('click', function(e){
if ($(".ui-dialog").length) {
if (!$(e.target).parents().filter('.ui-dialog').length) {
$('.ui-dialog-content').dialog('close');
}
}
});
This calls dialog('close') on the generic ui-dialog-content class, and so will close all dialogs if the click didn't originate in one. It will work with modal dialogs too, since the overlay is not part of the .ui-dialog box.
The problem is:
Most dialogs are created because of clicks outside of a dialog
This handler runs after those clicks have created a dialog and bubbled up to the document, so it immediately closes them.
To fix this, I had to add stopPropagation to those click handlers:
moreLink.on('click', function (e) {
listBox.dialog();
e.stopPropagation(); //Don't trigger the outside click handler
});
This question is a bit old, but in case someone wants to close a dialog that is NOT modal when user clicks somewhere, you can use this that I took from the JQuery UI Multiselect plugin. The main advantage is that the click is not "lost" (if user wants to click on a link or a button, the action is done).
$myselector.dialog({
title: "Dialog that closes when user clicks outside",
modal:false,
close: function(){
$(document).off('mousedown.mydialog');
},
open: function(event, ui) {
var $dialog = $(this).dialog('widget');
$(document).on('mousedown.mydialog', function(e) {
// Close when user clicks elsewhere
if($dialog.dialog('isOpen') && !$.contains($myselector.dialog('widget')[0], e.target)){
$myselector.dialog('close');
}
});
}
});
You can do this without using any additional plug-in
var $dialog= $(document.createElement("div")).appendTo(document.body);
var dialogOverlay;
$dialog.dialog({
title: "Your title",
modal: true,
resizable: true,
draggable: false,
autoOpen: false,
width: "auto",
show: "fade",
hide: "fade",
open:function(){
$dialog.dialog('widget').animate({
width: "+=300",
left: "-=150"
});
//get the last overlay in the dom
$dialogOverlay = $(".ui-widget-overlay").last();
//remove any event handler bound to it.
$dialogOverlay.unbind();
$dialogOverlay.click(function(){
//close the dialog whenever the overlay is clicked.
$dialog.dialog("close");
});
}
});
Here $dialog is the dialog.
What we are basically doing is to get the last overlay widget whenever this dialog is opened and binding a click handler to that overlay to close $dialog as anytime the overlay is clicked.
no need for the outside events plugin...
just add an event handler to the .ui-widget-overlay div:
jQuery(document).on('click', 'body > .ui-widget-overlay', function(){
jQuery("#ui-dialog-selector-goes-here").dialog("close");
return false;
});
just make sure that whatever selector you used for the jQuery ui dialog, is also called to close it.. i.e. #ui-dialog-selector-goes-here
This doesn't use jQuery UI, but does use jQuery, and may be useful for those who aren't using jQuery UI for whatever reason. Do it like so:
function showDialog(){
$('#dialog').show();
$('*').on('click',function(e){
$('#zoomer').hide();
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
showDialog();
});
So, once I've shown a dialog, I add a click handler that only looks for the first click on anything.
Now, it would be nicer if I could get it to ignore clicks on anything on #dialog and its contents, but when I tried switching $('*') with $(':not("#dialog,#dialog *")'), it still detected #dialog clicks.
Anyway, I was using this purely for a photo lightbox, so it worked okay for that purpose.
The given example(s) use one dialog with id '#dialog', i needed a solution that close any dialog:
$.extend($.ui.dialog.prototype.options, {
modal: true,
open: function(object) {
jQuery('.ui-widget-overlay').bind('click', function() {
var id = jQuery(object.target).attr('id');
jQuery('#'+id).dialog('close');
})
}
});
Thanks to my colleague Youri Arkesteijn for the suggestion of using prototype.
This is the only method that worked for me for my NON-MODAL dialog
$(document).mousedown(function(e) {
var clicked = $(e.target); // get the element clicked
if (clicked.is('#dlg') || clicked.parents().is('#dlg') || clicked.is('.ui-dialog-titlebar')) {
return; // click happened within the dialog, do nothing here
} else { // click was outside the dialog, so close it
$('#dlg').dialog("close");
}
});

Click outside non-modal dialog to close
For those you are interested I've created a generic plugin that enables to close a dialog when clicking outside of it whether it a modal or non-modal dialog. It supports one or multiple dialogs on the same page.
More information here: http://www.coheractio.com/blog/closing-jquery-ui-dialog-widget-when-clicking-outside
Laurent
I use this solution based in one posted here:
var g_divOpenDialog = null;
function _openDlg(l_d) {
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2554779/jquery-ui-close-dialog-when-clicked-outside
jQuery('body').bind(
'click',
function(e){
if(
g_divOpenDialog!=null
&& !jQuery(e.target).is('.ui-dialog, a')
&& !jQuery(e.target).closest('.ui-dialog').length
){
_closeDlg();
}
}
);
setTimeout(function() {
g_divOpenDialog = l_d;
g_divOpenDialog.dialog();
}, 500);
}
function _closeDlg() {
jQuery('body').unbind('click');
g_divOpenDialog.dialog('close');
g_divOpenDialog.dialog('destroy');
g_divOpenDialog = null;
}
I had same problem while making preview modal on one page. After a lot of googling I found this very useful solution. With event and target it is checking where click happened and depending on it triggers the action or does nothing.
Code Snippet Library site
$('#modal-background').mousedown(function(e) {
var clicked = $(e.target);
if (clicked.is('#modal-content') || clicked.parents().is('#modal-content'))
return;
} else {
$('#modal-background').hide();
}
});
İt's simple actually you don't need any plugins, just jquery or you can do it with simple javascript.
$('#dialog').on('click', function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(document.body).on('click', function(e){
master.hide();
});
I don't think finding dialog stuff using $('.any-selector') from the whole DOM is so bright.
Try
$('<div />').dialog({
open: function(event, ui){
var ins = $(this).dialog('instance');
var overlay = ins.overlay;
overlay.off('click').on('click', {$dialog: $(this)}, function(event){
event.data.$dialog.dialog('close');
});
}
});
You're really getting the overlay from the dialog instance it belongs to, things will never go wrong this way.
With the following code, you can simulate a click on the 'close' button of the dialog (change the string 'MY_DIALOG' for the name of your own dialog)
$("div[aria-labelledby='ui-dialog-title-MY_DIALOG'] div.ui-helper-clearfix a.ui-dialog-titlebar-close")[0].click();
Smart Code:
I am using following code so that every thing remains clear and readable.
out side body will close the dialog box.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('body').on('click', '.ui-widget-overlay', closeDialogBox);
});
function closeDialogBox() {
$('#dialog-message').dialog('close');
}
I ended up using this code which should work on any open dialogs on the page, ignores clicks on tooltips, and cleans up the resources of the dialog being closed as well.
$(document).mousedown(function(e) {
var clicked = $(e.target); // get the element clicked
if (clicked.is('.ui-dialog-content, .ui-dialog-titlebar, .ui-tooltip') || clicked.parents().is('.ui-dialog-content, .ui-dialog-titlebar, .ui-tooltip')) {
return; // click happened within the dialog, do nothing here
} else { // click was outside the dialog, so close it
$('.ui-dialog-content').dialog("close");
$('.ui-dialog-content').dialog("destroy");
$('.ui-dialog-content').detach();
}
});
I just ran across the need to close .dialog(s) with an out of element click. I have a page with a lot of info dialogs, so I needed something to handle them all. This is how I handled it:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(window).click(function (e) {
$(".dialogGroup").each(function () {
$(this).dialog('close');
})
});
$("#lostEffClick").click(function () {
event.stopPropagation();
$("#lostEffDialog").dialog("open");
};
});
