Wait for modal window to close and then execute the following lines in javascript

I have a modal Window which pops up and wait for 5 seconds and then closes.
The code is as follows
function callMe()
{
//alert("entering");
$("#dialog").dialog({
modal: true,
//title: "Confirm",
resizable: false,
width: 300,
height: 150,
open: function (event, ui)
{
setTimeout(function () { $("#dialog").dialog("close");}, 5000);
},
buttons: {
Ok: function () {
// $(this).dialog("close"); //closing on Ok
},
Cancel: function () {
// $(this).dialog("close"); //closing on Cancel
}
}
});
alert("Some Text");
}
callMe() function is called on load of the HTML file. Here I want to show the alert message "Some Text" after the modal window closes in 5 second. But every time when I run this it shows both the modal window and alert box together. I want the modal window to display first , wait for 5 sec and then show the alert box.I tried using sleep but its still coming the same way.

You have 2 options
function callMe()
{
//alert("entering");
$("#dialog").dialog({
modal: true,
//title: "Confirm",
resizable: false,
width: 300,
height: 150,
open: function (event, ui)
{
setTimeout(function () { $("#dialog").dialog("close");}, 5000);
},
buttons: {
Ok: function () {
// $(this).dialog("close"); //closing on Ok
},
Cancel: function () {
// $(this).dialog("close"); //closing on Cancel
}
},
close: function(){
alert("Some Text");
}
});
$('#dialog').on('dialogclose', function(event) {
alert('Some Text');
});
}
USE "close" method
use on dialogueClose event both examples are given in code above

It would be nicer if you can tell us what plugin you use for the dialog. I'm guessing the dialog has a close option that accepts a function. So try this:
...
open: function (event, ui)
{
setTimeout(function () { $("#dialog").dialog("close");}, 5000);
},
close: function() {
alert("Some Text");
},
...

You can put the alert inside the setTimeout, just after you close the window.
JAVASCRIPT
open: function (event, ui)
{
setTimeout(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog("close");
alert("Some Text");
}, 5000);
},

confirm box in jQuery

I want to create one customized confirm box in jQuery with two buttons(OK , Save)
If user press OK, two javascript functions in order should be called and executed, if user press Save just one js function should be called.
Now my question:
how can I call one js function inside the dialoge of confirm box.
this is my code
$('<div></div>').appendTo('body')
.html('<div><h6>If you Click on OK,you willaccept modifications and close the activity, click on Save means: only acceptance without closure the activity?</h6></div>')
.dialog({
modal: true, title: 'message', zIndex: 10000, autoOpen: true,
width: 'auto', resizable: false,
buttons: {
OK: function () {
f1(); // How can I call it...my question is from syntax problem
f2(); // How can I call it...my question is from syntax problem
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Save: function () {
f1(); // How can I call it...my question is from syntax problem
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
as you maybe understand my problem is syntax of this calling.let me tell you f1() and f2() are two javascript function which have defined and implemented.
Thanks in advance
Now I have another Question from this dialog..I want to get response from this dialoge...Let me copy my code maybe in this way you can understand more.
$('<div></div>').appendTo('body')
.html('<div><h6><fmt:message key="message" /></h6></div>')
.dialog({
modal: true, title: 'message', zIndex: 10000, autoOpen: true,
width: 'auto', resizable: false,
buttons: {
OK: function () {
close='yes';
arg="&accept_op_id="+op_id+"&tat="+tat+"&acdd="+acdd+"&ente="+ente+"&fdd="+fdd+"&aed="+aed+"&add="+add+"&close="+close;
openSched('piano',arg,'non_sched');
},
Save: function () {
close='no';
arg="&accept_op_id="+op_id+"&tat="+tat+"&acdd="+acdd+"&ente="+ente+"&fdd="+fdd+"&aed="+aed+"&add="+add+"&close="+close;
openSched('piano',arg,'non_sched');
}
}
});
I want to say: if user clicked on OK,one variable which is called 'close' is assigned yes and then one function (openSched()) will be called with this close value....If user clicked on Save , close =no
How can I do that...do you see one syntax problem??
Thanks in advance for your help

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#dialog").dialog({
modal: true, title: 'message', zIndex: 10000, autoOpen: true,
width: 'auto', resizable: false,
buttons: {
OK: function () {
f1();
f2();
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Save: function () {
f1();
$(this).dialog("close");
}}
});
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
});
function f1()
{
alert("f1 called");
}
function f2()
{
alert("f2 called");
}
<div id="dialog"><h6>If you Click on OK,you willaccept modifications and close the activity, click on Save means: only acceptance without closure the activity?</h6></div>

Try like this
Working Demo
$("<div></div>").appendTo("body").html("<div title='You Title here' class='newDiv'><h6>If you Click on OK, you will accept modifications and close the activity, <br/><br/> Click on Save means: only acceptance without closure the activity?</h6></div>").find(".newDiv").dialog({
dialogClass: "no-close",
buttons: [{
text: "OK",
click: function () {
fnOnOkay();
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}, {
text: "Save",
click: function () {
fnOnSave();
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}]
});
function fnOnOkay() {
fnOne();
fnTwo();}
function fnOnSave() {
console.log("Call one on save clicked");}
function fnOne() {
console.log("Call one on OK clicked");}
function fnTwo() {
console.log("Call Two on OK clicked");}

Replace javascript confirm by jquery confirm

I use the following code to use default javascript confirm by jquery ui dialogue.
jQuery.extend({
confirm: function(message, title, okAction) {
jQuery("<div></div>").dialog({
// Remove the closing 'X' from the dialog
open: function(event, ui) { jQuery(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide(); },
buttons: {
"Ok": function() {
jQuery(this).dialog("close");
return true;
},
"Cancel": function() {
jQuery(this).dialog("close");
return false;
}
},
close: function(event, ui) { jQuery(this).remove(); },
resizable: false,
title: title,
modal: true
}).text(message);
}
});
jQuery.confirm(
"LogOut",
"Do you want to log out",
function() {
});
Now I need to use this same code in a log out action. So that I can replace the javascript confirm in the code.
<a class="homeImage" onclick="return confirm('Do you want to logout?');" href="/future/myhome/head?$event=logout">LOG OUT</a>
The problem I am facing now is, when I replace the confirm with another function and wait for its return value to make the decision, the dialogue box doesn't return the value to a variable. These two functions are executed simultaniously(its showing the alert, but it also get directed to the href target). Is there any way that the method can return a true or false value and hence proceed to the href target.

related question : js override confirm

I don't know if you could actually do that as the jQuery.dialog function is asynchronous.
You could use a promise library to setup the button click events. But then you cannot simply specify a method in the onclick attribute and have to do it through code
var d = jQuery.Deferred();
d.resolve(true); // resolve is used then to mark the function as complete
return d.promise(); // return the promise
jsFiddle
jQuery.extend({
confirm: function(message, title, okAction) {
var d = jQuery.Deferred();
jQuery("<div></div>").dialog({
// Remove the closing 'X' from the dialog
open: function(event, ui) { jQuery(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide(); },
buttons: {
"Ok": function() {
jQuery(this).dialog("close");
d.resolve(true);
return true;
},
"Cancel": function() {
jQuery(this).dialog("close");
d.resolve(false);
return false;
}
},
close: function(event, ui) { jQuery(this).remove(); },
resizable: false,
title: title,
modal: true
}).text(message);
return d.promise();
}
});
For more info about jQuery promise library see jQuery reference
Edit: Another way to to set it up: jsFiddle

The problem is that default confirm dialog is synchronus and block the whole browser UI. JQuery dialog is asynchronous and does not block UI (because it needs it to render).
So the answer to your problem is following. You need to change:
buttons: {
"Ok": function() {
window.location = "/future/myhome/head?$event=logout"
},
and
<a class="homeImage" onclick="return jQuery.confirm('Do you want to logout?');return false;" href="/future/myhome/head?$event=logout">LOG OUT</a>

Personally, I use confirm more for conditional execution of a function or posting a form...
So, using your example, I'd have made the following small changes:
buttons: {
"Ok": function() {
jQuery(this).dialog("close");
okAction();
},
And then called the Confirm as follows:
onclick="jQuery.confirm('Do you want to logout?','Confirm:',function(){window.location='/future/myhome/head?$event=logout'}); return false;">LOG OUT</a>

wait till jquery dialog box returns

I need to open a popup window on clicking a button and used jquery dialog for this.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#dialog-form").dialog({
autoOpen : false,
height : 300,
width : 350,
modal : true,
buttons : {
"Add" : function() {
$("#tag1").text($("#textArea").val());
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel : function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close : function() {
$("#textArea").val("");
}
});
});
function openWindow(){
$("#dialog-form").dialog("open");
statement1;
statement2;
}
<button id="add" onclick="openWindow()">Add</button>
problem over here is when i click the button dialog box is opened, but before even i enter some text in the dialog box statement1 and statement2 are getting executed and then focus is coming to the dialog box.
How can i make the statement1 and statement2 to execute only after dialog box returns?
I don't want to add the statement1 and statement2 to the "Add" function. The reason for not adding the statements in the "Add" function is because i have multiple buttons and each of these should first open the dialog box and then will execute different set of statements.

Easy fix would be to use the close callback:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#dialog-form").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Add": function () {
$("#tag1").text($("#textArea").val());
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: function () {
$("#textArea").val("");
//statement1 -- won't fire until dialog is closed
//statement2 -- won't fire until dialog is closed
}
});
});
function openWindow() {
$("#dialog-form").dialog("open");
}
Another thing to consider would be $.Deferred

I have an example for you:
$(".selector").click(function () {
var dialog = $('<div title="Title"></div>').dialog({
open: function (event, ui) {
$.ajax({
url: 'www.google.com.br',
cache: false,
success: function (html) {
$(dialog).html(html);
},
error: function () {
$(dialog).remove();
alert("Some Error MSG");
}
});
},
close: function () {
$(dialog).remove();
},
resizable: false,
width: 500,
modal: true
});
});
In this case, the dialog is receiving the HTML result, only after it opens.

This can be achieved by the following way:-
$('#mydialog').dialog("open");
$('#mydialog').load('serverURL',server_data_variable, function() {
myfunction();
});
This will execute the function once the dialog loading is done.It will register the callback to be executed post dialog done.The variable server_data_variable is optional and is supposed to be used only if user wants to send some data otherwise it can be skipped as.well.

Solution 1: (same as solution from Aaron Blenkush)
$("#dialog-form").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Add": function () {
$("#tag1").text($("#textArea").val());
$(this).dialog("close");
//statement1 -- will fire only if "add" button is clicked
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: function () {
$("#textArea").val("");
//statement1 -- will fire after dialog is closed
}
});
Solution 2 is to make a promise:
const dialogPromise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
$("#dialog-form").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Add": function () {
$("#tag1").text($("#textArea").val());
$(this).dialog("close");
resolve(true);
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
resolve(false);
}
},
close: function () {
$("#textArea").val("");
}
});
});
const addClicked = await dialogPromise;

Call callback function after "open" clause in the dialog setup.
modal: true,
resizable: false,
resize: 'auto',
close: dialogCloseFunction,
**open: function(){if(itemid) {showDailogSides(itemid);}** if(!siteParams[3]) {$(".detailSideClass").hide(); $(".addToChartinDialog").hide();}},
//hide: {effect: "fadeOut", duration: 5000}
show: { effect: "fade", duration: 1000 } //drop blind fade fold slide clip

jQueryUI Dialog with Ajax Form Won't Close with $(this).dialog("close");

I have a jQueryUI Dialog loading up a form from an external url, the form renders fine and posts ok but neither the save or cancel buttons seem to close the form yet the dialog close icon does it's job just fine.
Here is my script that spawns the dialog and should handle the buttons:
$(function () {
$('a.modal').on('click', function() {
var href = $(this).attr('href');
$("#modalAdd").html("")
.dialog({
title: $(this).attr("title"),
width: 400,
height: 300,
buttons: {
"Save": function() {
$.post(href,
$("form").serialize(),
function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
});
},
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
})
.load(href, function() {
$(this).dialog("open");
});
return false;
});
});
The final solution was to declare the variable outside of the scope of the dialog declaration as follows:
$(function () {
$('a.modal').on('click', function() {
var href = $(this).attr('href');
var modal = $("#modalAdd");
modal.html("")
.dialog({
title: $(this).attr("title"),
width: 400,
height: 300,
buttons: {
"Save": function() {
$.post(href,
$("form").serialize(),
function() {
modal.dialog("close");
});
},
Cancel: function() {
modal.dialog("close");
}
}
})
.load(href, function() {
**modal**.dialog("open");
});
return false;
});
});

It's because of variable scope, as soon as you start the call back function for the $.post call, this is no longer the dialog box. Try calling $("#modalAdd").dialog('close'); instead.
If you don't mind expanding your $.post() and $.load() calls, you can set the context of this to a certain element using the full $.ajax() method. See the "context" option in the docs.

this is changed in the ajax callback function, you need to cache to a local variable.
"Save": function () {
var $this = $(this);
$.post(href, $("form").serialize(), function () {
$this.dialog("close");
});
},
