I need help on a small javascript portion of my website assignment for class, filling in the blanks:
In the script section of your contact.html page, inside your document ready function but outside your submit function) add the following code to turn the dialog div (above) into a jQuery dialog box.
$(_______).dialog({
autoOpen: _____________,
modal: ________,
width: ________,
buttons: {
"_______": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
Note, this is just the code you are given in the demos for creating a dialog box. I have added several blanks to the code that you will need to set as follows:
The dialog function needs to be called for the element with the id of dialog.
It should not auto open
It should be modal
It should have a width set that is less than 600 pixels
The button name should be OK or Accept or something like that.
Although this not the right forum to ask these kind of questions, here is the answer for your question.
$("#DivIdWhichWillBecomeADialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 500px,
buttons: {
"OK": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
$(function(){
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 500px,
buttons: {
"OK": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
Here is your answer:
$(function() {
$("#dialogDivId" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
Ok: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
},
width:550
});
});
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");
};
});
I have a problem with the jquery-ui dialog box.
The problem is that when I close the dialog box and then I click on the link that triggers it, it does not pop-up again unless I refresh the page.
How can I call the dialog box back without refreshing the actual page.
Below is my code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#showTerms').click(function()
{
$('#terms').css('display','inline');
$('#terms').dialog({
resizable: false,
modal: true,
width: 400,
height: 450,
overlay: { backgroundColor: "#000", opacity: 0.5 },
buttons:{ "Close": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); } },
close: function(ev, ui) { $(this).remove(); },
});
});
Thanks
You're actually supposed to use $("#terms").dialog({ autoOpen: false }); to initialize it.
Then you can use $('#terms').dialog('open'); to open the dialog, and $('#terms').dialog('close'); to close it.
I solved it.
I used destroy instead close function (it doesn't make any sense), but it worked.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#showTerms').click(function()
{
$('#terms').css('display','inline');
$('#terms').dialog({resizable: false,
modal: true,
width: 400,
height: 450,
overlay: { backgroundColor: "#000", opacity: 0.5 },
buttons:{ "Close": function() { $(this).dialog('**destroy**'); } },
close: function(ev, ui) { $(this).close(); },
});
});
$('#form1 input#calendarTEST').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'MM d, yy' });
});
on the last line, don't use $(this).remove() use $(this).hide() instead.
EDIT: To clarify,on the close click event you're removing the #terms div from the DOM which is why its not coming back. You just need to hide it instead.
I believe you can only initialize the dialog one time. The example above is trying to initialize the dialog every time #terms is clicked. This will cause problems. Instead, the initialization should occur outside of the click event. Your example should probably look something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
// dialog init
$('#terms').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
width: 400,
height: 450,
overlay: { backgroundColor: "#000", opacity: 0.5 },
buttons: { "Close": function() { $(this).dialog('close'); } },
close: function(ev, ui) { $(this).close(); }
});
// click event
$('#showTerms').click(function(){
$('#terms').dialog('open').css('display','inline');
});
// date picker
$('#form1 input#calendarTEST').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'MM d, yy' });
});
I'm thinking that once you clear that up, it should fix the 'open from link' issue you described.
For me this approach works:
The dialog may be closed by clicking the X on the dialog or by clicking 'Bewaren'. I'm adding an (arbitrary) id because I need to be sure every bit of html added to the dom is removed afterwards.
$('<div id="dossier_edit_form_tmp_id">').html(data.form)
.data('dossier_id',dossier_id)
.dialog({
title: 'Opdracht wijzigen',
show: 'clip',
hide: 'clip',
minWidth: 520,
width: 520,
modal: true,
buttons: { 'Bewaren': dossier_edit_form_opslaan },
close: function(event, ui){
$(this).dialog('destroy');
$('#dossier_edit_form_tmp_id').remove();
}
});
<button onClick="abrirOpen()">Open Dialog</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $dialogo = $("<div></div>").html("Aqui tu contenido(here your content)").dialog({
title: "Dialogo de UI",
autoOpen: false,
close: function(ev, ui){
$(this).dialog("destroy");
}
function abrirOpen(){
$dialogo.dialog("open");
}
});
//**Esto funciona para mi... (this works for me)**
</script>
This is a super old thread but since the answer even says "It doesn't make any sense", I thought I'd add the answer...
The original post used $(this).remove(); in the close handler, this would actually remove the dialog div from the DOM. Attempting to initialize a dialog again wouldn't work because the div was removed.
Using $(this).dialog('destroy') is calling the method destroy defined in the dialog object which does not remove it from the DOM.
From the documentation:
destroy()
Removes the dialog functionality completely. This will return the element back to its >>pre-init state.
This method does not accept any arguments.
That said, only destroy or remove on close if you have a good reason to.
$(this).dialog('destroy');
works!
.close() is mor general and can be used in reference to more objects. .dialog('close') can only be used with dialogs
I use the dialog as an dialog file browser and uploader then I rewrite the code like this
var dialog1 = $("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 480,
width: 640
});
$('#tikla').click(function() {
dialog1.load('./browser.php').dialog('open');
});
everything seems to work great.
I had the same problem with jquery-ui overlay dialog box - it would work only once and then stop unless i reload the page. I found the answer in one of their examples -
Multiple overlays on a same page
flowplayer_tools_multiple_open_close
- who would have though, right?? :-) -
the important setting appeared to be
oneInstance: false
so, now i have it like this -
$(document).ready(function() {
var overlays = null;
overlays = jQuery("a[rel]");
for (var n = 0; n < overlays.length; n++) {
$(overlays[n]).overlay({
oneInstance: false,
mask: '#669966',
effect: 'apple',
onBeforeLoad: function() {
overlay_before_load(this);
}
});
}
}
and everything works just fine
hope this helps somebody
O.
The jQuery documentation has a link to this article
'Basic usage of the jQuery UI dialog'
that explains this situation and how to resolve it.
