Making jquery Dialog working between two pages

I have a dialog setup as follow
$("#myDialog").dialog({
autoOpen: true,
close: function(event, ui) {
$("#myDialog-content").html("");
$(this).dialog("destroy");
}
});
$("#myDialog").css("min-height","");
$("#myDialog-content").html("Loading...");
$.ajax({
...
success: function(response) {
$("#myDialog-content").html(response);
}
});
This working fine I load and close dialog in same page but not able to make it work properly where I move between pages.
Here is a my page flow
From source page(say PageA) I make AJAX call to load the page containing dialog div(say PageB).
Link on this page call above method to display dialog. (For first time it runs OK).
When I click close button. Dialog close and with firebug I can still see dialog div at the end with UI classes but in hidden state.
If I go back to source page (Page A) and reload the PageB.In firebug I can see two div - one originally from JSP and second one from step 3.
Now if I click button to load dialog box - It used hidden to populate new data and never use new div created by jquery. So I just have blank dialog box.
I am not sure if this is jquery Dialog issue or my page flow. One possible solution I though of is use remove in close function to remove dialog div completely but it puts burden to create this div everytime page PageB is loaded. Is there any other way or any thing I am doing wrong in this scenario?

If i understood correctly the situation, You have 2 options:
If you somehow cleaning the content of "Page B", remove the modal
then.
If you do not have the cleaning mechanism like that, just
.remove() content of modal on close
Sidenote: i would advise not to use jquery for .css and .html('Loading...'). Also, it is good to cache jquery elements in variables e.g var dialog = $("#myDialog");

How to make sure ajax is fully loading content using .load

We have a site where on the left we are displaying our products and on the right shows the product the user clicks on (on same page). When the page loads we have the first product being shown on the right by default, when the user clicks on a new product then the right columns changes to show the new product (via ajax).
Here is how I have the ajax setup:
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var defaultValue = $("ul.products li.shop-thumb a:first").attr("href");
$(".main").load(defaultValue);
$("ul.products li.shop-thumb a").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var addressValue = $(this).attr("href");
//alert(addressValue );
$(".main").load(addressValue);
//$("a.woocommerce-main-image").addClass("image-popup-no-margins");
});
});
</script>
We are using magnific popup to show the larger image of the product when the user clicks on the (right sides) main product image.
This works great for the first (default) product but when the user clicks on a new product and the content to the right changes, then the user clicks on the main image, the pop up fails to load. So in other words it works when you first load the page and the default product is shown, but fails to fire when a new product is clicked.
Here is the product-image.php filter which just adds our class of image-popup-no-margins:
apply_filters( 'woocommerce_single_product_image_html', sprintf( '%s', $image_link, $image_title, $image ), $post->ID );
And in the footer we have this:
$('.image-popup-no-margins').magnificPopup({
type: 'image',
closeOnContentClick: true,
closeBtnInside: false,
fixedContentPos: true,
mainClass: 'mfp-no-margins mfp-with-zoom', // class to remove default margin from left and right side
image: {
verticalFit: true
},
zoom: {
enabled: true,
duration: 300 // don't foget to change the duration also in CSS
}
});
Im may have given too much info here but I felt better safe then sorry, so perhaps its better if I give you a link for you to see what I mean. When you visit the page, click on the big image on the right and you should see the popup functioning. Now try clicking on one of the products on the left so the main image on right changes and try to click it again, the default behavior happens instead of our pop up.
I checked classes and everything looks fine, I'm sure it has to do with the ajax but can't get it worked out.
Update:
After more tinkering with this I think the problem is that the .load is not 'reloading' the content when the anchor is clicked. Like I said it works when you first load the page and click on the first image, but when you change the image and the ajax is called I don't think it really reloads the content in the main container. How would I make sure the ajax is fully loading the content like it does when you first open the page? If you go to the site and click the big image on right, it works, change the image by clicking on a product from the left and the pop up fails to work and so does the "Tag It" pop up… Maybe this is less specific to magnific popup and more of a basic ajax

It seems your server is just quite slow and delivering the content required for the new popup. you can see the get requests by viewing the firebug console. once these have completed it works perfectly. I suggest upgrading for hosting or finding another way to deliver the higher quality images faster, such as imgur or other image hosting services.

So the problem was indeed with the magnific popup, replaced it with Fancybox and all seems to be functional correctly -- Thanks for the help guys

Open link in same page and once link is open, execute some code

I have several pop-ups on home page. I open and close them by selecting them with ID and using fadeIn() and fadeOut(). Now I want to open a specific pop-up by clicking on link from another window? For example, if from that new window I click on 'Pop Up 1', I want home page to open and then show 'Pop Up 1'.
I tried using this code below but while writing this code I realized that the script gets reloaded and thus my function of loading a pop-up does not work.
So my question is, is there some elegant solution you could recommend to show element in one page while a link that specifies which element has to be shown is in another?
$("#galleryNav a").on('click', function() {
window.open("/pixeleyes",'_self',false);
setTimeout(function() {
var popToShow = $(this).attr('data-pop');
$(".text-content-outer").hide();
$("#" + popToShow).fadeIn();
}, 5000);
});

One idea might work is
When you are opening a new page using the below line then send some parameter or hash value with it.
window.open("/pixeleyes",'_self',false);
like
window.open("/pixeleyes#openpopup",'_self',false);
Then in the page ready of this page check if the hash exists open the popup otherwise do nothing.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

$("#galleryNav a").on('click', function() {
window.open("/pixeleyes#showpopup",'_self',false);
});
showpopup could be anything that you want to open as popup...

Custom sharepoint 2010 xslt list - Edit item via javascript - Data not refreshed after edit

I custom render a SharePoint 2010 list using xslt. I created links to each item in order to edit them via the SharePoint modal dialog popup UI. I used the following script in order to do so (SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog script):
function openMyItemDialog( itemId ) {
var options = {
url: "http://{mysharepointsite}/_layouts/listform.aspx?PageType=4&ListId={D0FDB54F-1DDF-4C5E-865B-ABDE55C1125}&ID=" + itemId + "&ContentTypeID=0x010800ED5176D13CCEFC4AA8D62A79985DE892&IsDlg=1",
width: 500,
height: 500,
title: "Item view/edit"
};
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog( options );
}
I invoke the script with this:
Test item

How to edit list item on another page
Problem
This is a great solution, however, one thing that you have to consider is that if you edit an item, you have to refresh the the page in order to see the update(information you just changed). Are there any SharePoint scripts that will update the item on the page after the edit is made and saved?
So what happens is - after the save button is clicked, the information gets updated in SharePoint, but the modal div gets hidden and the the page information never gets updated.
Any help is welcomed.
Thanks, M31

If it's a modal window, then you have to monitor when the modal is closed (for example with https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/65513/detect-modal-dialog-close-with-jquery) then you can reload your main page with window.location.reload() or window.location.href=window.location.href

Dynamic content accessibility issue

I'm working on a website and I want to be able to access the dynamic content on the Menu page from every other page on the website but when you try to access it from another page, it doesn't even leave the page. How do I get it to take me to the Menu page and also display exactly what was clicked. The function created for this is as displayed below
$(document).ready(function() {
jcps.fader(300, '#switcher-panel');
});
var _tagIndex = window.location.href.indexOf('#');
if (_tagIndex>=0) {
showContent(window.location.href.substr(_tagIndex));
}

Jquery History plugin is a rather common solution
