Is there any way to capture only 'X' event from modal dialogue using jquery?

I am having modal dialouge this way,
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
width: 400,
height: 140,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"SUBMIT": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"CANCEL": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: function() {
alert('close');
}
});
And i am trying to get alert('close') once i click x button of the modal dialouge.
But the issue is this alert('close') is being invoked even after submit bitton and cancel button click of my modal '#dialog'.
Is there any way that i can get alert, only on clicking 'X' box of my dialouge and not on clicking sublit or cancel buttons.
However $(this).dialog("close"); should be there in submit and cancel button events.
If i remove $(this).dialog("close"); its working.
I want to get alert only on clickin 'X' and not on the modal dialouge close.
Can anyone help me in this issue?
Thanks

The close() callback will pass an event object which includes a .currentTarget property representing the button which was pressed. You can use that to find out which button was clicked. For example, try something like
$("#dialog").dialog({
close: function(event,ui) {
if($(event.currentTarget).hasClass('ui-dialog-titlebar-close')
{
alert('close');
}
}
You could also try directly creating an on("click") function directly on the X button yourself, but that can be a bit flaky.

Add a dialog using jQuery using html generated by jQuery

I want to add a jQuery dialog using an string containing html code stored in a variable. Is it possible? Here is some of the tried code.
$("#remove-post").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 'auto',
width: 'auto',
modal: true
});
$("body").delegate("a.delete-post", "click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
button = $(this);
remove_dialog_html = '<div id="remove-post">Are you sure you want to delete this post? Once, deleted it can\'t be reversed.</div>';
$('#remove-post').dialog("open");
});

You can simply change the html of this element.
$('#remove-post').html('<div id="remove-post">Are you sure you want to delete this post? Once, deleted it can\'t be reversed.</div>');
jsFiddle Demo
Edit:
You can also avoid adding the dialog to the original HTML file, by creating and destroying it when you open and close the dialog.
$('<div></div>')
.appendTo('body')
.html(htmlContent)
.dialog({
autoOpen: true,
height: 'auto',
width: 'auto',
modal: true,
close: function (event, ui) {
$(this).remove();
}
});
jsFiddle Demo

You cannot initialize jQuery dialog like this since it is not in the DOM at the page load time (where jQuery initialize the stuff).
What you have to do is that initialize dialog after adding the html to the DOM.
Just before $('#remove-post').dialog("open");

Are you looking for something like this. Check the fiddle below. Changed the code as per your requirement if this is what you are looking for.
http://jsfiddle.net/8R7xA/1/
$("#remove-post").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height:'auto',
width:'auto',
modal: true
});
$(document).ready(function(){
var remove_dialog_html= '<div id="remove-post">Are you sure you want to delete this post? Once, deleted it can\'t be reversed.</div>';
$('#remove-post').html(remove_dialog_html);
$('#remove-post').dialog("open");
});

Thanks!!
Edit: Try this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#divModifyDatesDialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
resizable: false,
draggable: false,
position: "center",
width: 550,
buttons: {
"Yes": {
click: function () {
-------------
},
"No": {
click: function () {
------
}
}
}
});

qtip2 modal dialog not hiding

I am using qtip2 for alert, confirm, dialogue functionality. Now I want to as (blockui plugin) block the view of the page until some process completes (e. ajax start etc). For that I am using following code
function blockPageDialog(content, title) {
/*
* mainbody is the id of the body section of html
*/
$('#mainbody').qtip(
{
content: {
text: '<img src="/Content/images/ajax-loader.gif"/>'
},
position: {
my: 'center', at: 'center', // Center it...
target: $(window) // ... in the window
},
show: {
ready: true, // Show it straight away
modal: {
on: true, // Make it modal (darken the rest of the page)...
blur: false, // ... but don't close the tooltip when clicked
escape: false //dont hide on escape button
}
},
hide: true, // We'll hide it maunally
style: {
classes: 'qtip-shadow qtip-rounded qtip-dialogue', // Optional shadow...
widget: true //themeroller
},
events: {
// Hide the tooltip when any buttons in the dialogue are clicked
render: function (event, api) {
// $('button', api.elements.content).click(api.hide);
}
// Destroy the tooltip once it's hidden as we no longer need it!
, hide: function (event, api) { api.destroy(); }
}
});
}
and I am calling above function as
blockPageDialog(imageToShowProcessing );
which is blocking page as expected.
Now I want to hide/destroy the blocking dialog created on completion of process (e. ajax complete) or on button click which not part of the dialog (thats why I commented code for button in dialog).
I tried following things
$('#mainbody').qtip('hide');
$('#mainbody').qtip('api').hide();
both are not working.
I am using jquery 1.9.1, qtip2 update (2.1) which solves $.browser error
Please guide me to to solve the problem

try $('#mainbody').qtip('destroy');

jQuery UI dialog box does not appear

I'm pretty much a total noob to JavaScript and jQuery and I'm having trouble getting a basic dialog box working. Here is my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var dialog = $("#dialog");
dialog.dialog({
title: "Dialog",
modal: true,
draggable: false,
resizable: false,
autoOpen: false,
width: 500,
height: 400
});
dialog.hide();
});
function showDialog() {
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
}
$("ui-widget-overlay").click(function() {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").trigger("click");
});
</script>
<div id="dialog">
Dialog text.
</div>
<button onclick="showDialog()">Show Dialog</button>
When I click the button, the title bar of the dialog comes up and the background of the page dims, but there are two problems:
The body of the dialog does not show (all that shows is the title bar)
When I click outside of the dialog, the dialog does not close. I have to click the "x" in the corner in order for the dialog to close.
I've been reading tons of related questions on here, but nothing I try seems to work. Any advice?

I believe the problem you're having is from this line:
dialog.hide();
What I would suggest is removing all of the dialog content from the dialog div and populating it when you actually show the dialog.
<div id="dialog"></div>
function showDialog()
{
$("#dialog").html("Dialog Text.");
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
}
As for handling the close part, have you tried nesting everything in the main page in a <div> of its own and then handling that click event?
<div id="mainPageDiv">
</div>
$("#mainPageDiv").click(function(){
$("#dialog").dialog("close");
});

Just use a modal dialog and close the dialog when they click the overlay. Also, you should not need to put any code in $(document).ready for this.
function showDialog() {
var dialog = $("#dialog");
dialog.dialog({
title: "Dialog",
modal: true,
open: function () {
$('.ui-widget-overlay').bind('click', function () {
dialog.dialog('close');
});
}
});
}
Demonstration

I see your:
$("ui-widget-overlay").click(
perhaps should select a class:
$(".ui-widget-overlay").click(
which does not happen as it does not exist, so you need to hook it to the document.
and the dialog.hide(); is not needed as it hides it automatically when it becomes a dialog
SO you should have:
$(document).on('click',".ui-widget-overlay", function() {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").trigger("click");
});
more simply:(if you have no other dialogs you need to deal with this way)
$(document).on('click',".ui-widget-overlay", function() {
$("#dialog").dialog("close");
});
sample fiddle to show full reworked code: http://jsfiddle.net/GrFE3/2/

I am adding this as an additional answer as it goes about this differently, changing the markup, removing the in-line event handler in the markup, uses your button, and uses your dialog variable (differently than you, but...
<div id="dialog">
Dialog text.
</div>
<button id="showDialog">Show Dialog</button>
and the code for that markup:
$(document).ready(function() {
var dialog = $("#dialog");
dialog.dialog({
title: "Dialog",
modal: true,
draggable: false,
resizable: false,
autoOpen: false,
width: 500,
height: 400
});
$('#showDialog').click(function() {
dialog.dialog("open");
});
$(document).on('click', ".ui-widget-overlay", function() {
dialog.dialog("close");
});
});

jQuery UI Dialog Box - does not open after being closed

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.
