I am somewhat new to javascript and need to integrate couple plugins for one project. Is there a way to get customer_id (that was gotten when the dialog window was opened, and suggested by autocomplete) into "Create new job" button location.
I want to close first dialog after user clicks "Create new job" and then open new dialog window, but I want to pass customer_id from the first dialog window into second dialog window. There might be some dialog and autocomplete interaction that I might not understand, I just can't get customer_id before I call new_job() function.
$(function() {
$( "#dialog-name" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
})});
function customer_funct(){
$( "#dialog-name" ).dialog( "open" )
$(function() {
var name = $( "#name" );
$( "#name" ).autocomplete({
source: "suggest_name.php",
minLength: 2,
select: function( event, ui ) {
var customer_id = ui.item.customer_id;
// I am able to get customer_id here,
//now I need to pass it to the function below.
}
});
$( "#dialog-name" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 500,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Create new job": function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
cust_name = (name.val());
// is there any way to get "customer_id" at this location
// before I call new_job() function after the user selects customer
// from the database and clicks "Create new job"?
new_job(customer_id, cust_name);
},
Cancel: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
}
});
});
By default the select event ui parameter only contains a "label" and "value" property
JQuery UI Autocomplete Success Event
In order to access a custom property you would need to explicitly add it after you retrieve your data via an ajax call. Similar to this post.
I guess I answer the question myself after some thinking. If someone else is working on jQuery autocomplete and dialog interaction, and if you need to open the new dialog window (in new_job(customer_id))with the id value from the previous dialog window and close that previous dialog window on success:
$(function() {
$( "#dialog-name" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
})});
function customer_funct(){
$( "#dialog-name" ).dialog( "open" )
$(function() {
var name = $( "#name" );
$( "#name" ).autocomplete({
source: "suggest_name.php",
minLength: 2,
select: function( event, ui ) {
var customer_id = ui.item.customer_id;
new_job(customer_id);
$(this).val(''); return false;
}
});
$( "#dialog-name" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 500,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Create new job": function() {
alert('Please select customer or click "Add New" customer');
},
Cancel: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
}
});
});
}

So I have a confirmation dialog box that opens when button is clicked, but window.open in javascript opens it in new tab. I tried lot of things like _self, _top but it doesn't work. Is there any way I can open this in same tab/page.
Here is the code:
JAVASCRIPT
$('.sample').on("click", function (e)
{
var link = this;
e.preventDefault();
$( "#ConfirmDialog" ).dialog(
{
resizable: false,
width: 300,
buttons:
{
"Yes": function()
{
window.open($(link).attr("href"));
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
},
Cancel: function()
{
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
}
});
});
To change the current page's url, simply set window.location to the new url
$('.sample').on("click", function (e) {
....
"Yes": function() {
window.location = $(link).attr("href")
},
....
});
I have answered in the comments, but since this is what you are looking for, I'm adding it as an answer too.
I am trying to use a dialogue box modal for displaying terms and condition on my webpage. But at button disagree the webpage doesnot close while calling function window.close. I want to close the recent page after clicking the button disagree
Below pasted is the sample code I am having problem at.
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#dialog-confirm" ).dialog({
resizable: false,
height:600,
width:400,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Agree': function() {
$( this ).dialog( window.location.assign('../mdv/main.php') );
},
'Disagree': function() {
$( this ).dialog( window.close() );
}
}
});
});
</script>
Thank you in advance.
You do it like this:
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#dialog-confirm" ).dialog({
resizable: false,
height:600,
width:400,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Agree': function() {
$( this ).dialog( window.location.assign('../mdv/main.php') );
},
'Disagree': function() {
$( this ).dialog("close");
}
}
});
});
</script>
You can either close the dialog itself using the code above or you can close the window if it's a popup window opened previously via JavaScript.
In which case you'll need the reference of that to invoke the close method.
However you can't close an entire webpage/tab with JavaScript which is a javaScript limitation. As I mentioned, you can only close it if it was previously opened with JavaScript.
Proper abstraction aside, how can I grab the 'title' option of a jQuery dialog amongst multiple scripts?
For example, below I have 2 scripts where the first returns a var as a string, where the other does not return the variable as a string:
<script>
$(function() {
$( ".scheduleDiv" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true,
Cancel: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
});
$( ".device-modal" )
.click(function() {
$( ".scheduleDiv" ).dialog({"title": $(this).attr('title')});
alert($( ".scheduleDiv" ).dialog('option', 'title'));
var single = $(this).dialog('option', 'title'); //works as expected
$( ".scheduleDiv" ).dialog( "open" );
return false;
});
});
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.locks').hide();
$('.device_groups').hide();
var single = $(this).dialog('option', 'title'); //is undefined...
if (single == "Add Single Lock") {
$('.locks').show();
//$('.locks select').removeAttr('disabled');
}
else {
$('.device_groups').show();
//$('.device_groups select').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
</script>
So, how can I set 'single' to return the title as a string in the second script?
Many Thanks
Your context of this is likely not correct. When you handle the $(document).ready() event, this is the document. You need to manually grab your dialog window, and then get the title:
$('.scheduleDiv').dialog('option', 'title');
The code you are using to get the title is firing ondocumentready, but your initialization doesn't actually set a title. You are not setting the title until you click the 'deviceModal'. At that point, the code to log the title will not get re-fired, as the document only loads once.
I wrote a function named confirmMessage(msg) to work with onclick event of links:
Delete
The code of the function is:
<script>
function confirmMessage(msg){
p = true
elementHtml = '<div id="ConfirmMessage">'+msg+'</div>';
$("body").append(elementHtml);
$("#ConfirmMessage").dialog({
resizable: false,
height:140,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Delete": function() {
p = true;
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
},
Cancel: function() {
p = false;
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
}
}
);
return p;
}
</script>
In the function above I set a variable p to be case container i.e. true or false and initially I set it to be true. Also, The message element is created on the fly. However, when I click on the delete link, it dose not wait till I decide to delete or cancel and it go to delete.
When I set p initially to be false, it does not do anything else closing the dialog what ever the decision.
Where is the mistake in this code?!
jQuery dialog asynchronous -- it doesn't block. The function will go on and return without waiting for a response. You will need to use the following code:
function confirmMessage(msg,goto){
elementHtml = '<div id="ConfirmMessage">'+msg+'</div>';
$("body").append(elementHtml);
$("#ConfirmMessage").dialog({
resizable: false,
height:140,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Delete": function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
window.location.href=goto;
},
Cancel: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
},
},
});
return false;
}
and:
Delete
Changing so the return is not what is actually determining what happens.
See this JSFiddle.
Your mistake is in thinking that the function waits for you to click on one of the buttons before returning. .dialog() displays the dialog and returns immediately. Responding to user interactions must be done in callback functions.
Use the close: handler to run code when the dialog is closed:
$("#ConfirmMessage").dialog({
resizable: false,
height:140,
modal: true,
close: function() {
if (p) {
...
} else {
...
}
},
buttons: {
"Delete": function() {
p = true;
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
},
Cancel: function() {
p = false;
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
}
}
);
you "return p" is executed before you are even able to see the modal window. your dialog method is executed asynchronously
I have this div in my master page.
<div id="UICancelChanges" title="Are you sure?" style="display: none;">
Your changes have not been saved. Are you sure you want to CANCEL ?
</div>
On click I am just opening Jquery dialog popup window..
CancelEdit = function (accountId) {
$("#UICancelChanges").dialog({
resizable: true,
height: 140,
width: 500,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Yes": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"No": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
return false;
};
Is there any way that I can change the Title of this Div popup dynamically? using same code I need to change the title dynamically?
How to open my popup window in the controller code?something like this?
return new JavaScriptResult() { Script = "alert('SubCategory Successfully Added. Thank You.'); window.location='/ObnCategory/Index';" };
Instead of alert i need to open the popup window.
Thanks
call this before you display the dialog
initialise:
$( "#UICancelChanges" ).dialog({ title: 'Dialog Title' });
to set the new title do
$( "#UICancelChanges" ).dialog( "option", "title", 'New Dialog Title' );
to get the title
var title = $( "#UICancelChanges" ).dialog( "option", "title" );
for more help on the properties visit http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#option-title
Per the jQuery UI website documentation:
$( ".selector" ).dialog( "option", "title", 'Dialog Title' );
you can use this:
$("span.ui-dialog-title").text(anything);
