Using Kendo Grid - onclick requires an extra click to call a jquery method

I have 7 columns (using html Kendo Grid), and the ID column is a PK of each row and its visible(false).
So.. When you click on any "Name" data, it grabs a PK(the ID that is invisible) of the row you selected, and a modal screen will pop up so you can see more detailed information.
Currently, it is working as expected, however, when the page loads for the first time, I have to double click it to make the modal screen display. Once the modal screen displays, after that, onclick event works as intended.
But I just noticed that when I hit the F12 key to see the log, the number of click increments(like... x2 x3 etc.) everytime onclick event calls.
When I Debug, it hits the debug point in my code but disappears right away so its really hard for me to investigate.
Thank you for your help.
------Column that has the onclick event--------
Columns(columns => {columns.Bound(o => o.SiteID).Visible(false);
columns.Bound(o => o.Name).Title("Your Name").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new {title = "Name(s)"}).ClientTemplate("<a class='nameLink' onclick=\"EditSite(#:SiteID#);\" style='cursor:pointer;' SiteID=\'#=SiteID#\'>#=Name#</a>");
----Jquery onclick event ------
function EditSite(SiteID) {
debugger;
$('.nameLink').on('click', function () {
$('#popUpEdit').dialog({
width: 1000,
height: 920,
show: 'fadein',
hide: 'fadeout',
buttons: { "Close": function () { $(this).dialog("close"); } },
close: function () {
$("#popUpEdit input").val("");
$('#popUpEdit input').prop('checked', false);
$('#statusMessage').html("");
}
});
NameDetails(SiteID);
});
};

You are binding an onClick function every time the EditSite function is called. Try using .off() to unbind any existing handlers.
$('.nameLink').off().on('click', function () { }
Also try wrapping your function so you can pass your SiteID parameter.
(not sure the proper syntax for this)
onclick="EditSite(#:SiteID#)"
Wrapping the function
function EditSite(SiteID) {
return function() {
$('#popUpEdit').dialog({
width: 1000,
height: 920,
show: 'fadein',
hide: 'fadeout',
buttons: { "Close": function () { $(this).dialog("close"); } },
close: function () {
$("#popUpEdit input").val("");
$('#popUpEdit input').prop('checked', false);
$('#statusMessage').html("");
}
});
NameDetails(SiteID);
}
}

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.

MVC Jquery unresponsive after partial update

On my page I have a button for delete and that triggers a Jquery event for posting showing a dialog first and on continue it passes on the controller and action.
That works fine. Here is the jquery code:
$('#deleteMaintor-dialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false, width: 400, resizable: false, modal: true, //Dialog options
buttons: {
"Continue": function () {
$('#aniWait').show();
$.post(deleteLinkObj[0].href, function (data) { //Post to action
$('#Tor').html(data);
$('#aniWait').hide();
});
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"Cancel": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
$(document).on('click', '#btnDeleteMaintor', function (e) {
deleteLinkObj = $(this); //for future use
$('#deleteMaintor-dialog').dialog('open');
return false; // prevents the default behaviour
});
The problem is that after this, none of the jquery events on the controles are fired anymore.
Why not?
I guess this has to do with the Success part of the $.Post?

I found the solution:
All the controls that were not working anymore were not anchored to the document, so I did that and now it is working fine.

JQuery dropdown box behavior

In the following code, the user can hover over the area and a drop down box appears.
The user wants the box to disappear if the user clicks somewhere on the screen. Is there a way to accomplish this using JavaScript and jQuery?
Code below ... thank you in advance for your response.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".password").fancybox({
'width': 500,
'height': 260,
'autoScale': false,
'transitionIn': 'none',
'transitionOut': 'none',
'type': 'iframe'
});
// Login drop down
$(".signin").hover(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".signin_menu").show();
$(".signin").addClass("menu-open");
});
$(".signin_menu").hover(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".signin_menu").show();
$(".signin").addClass("menu-open");
});

Try adding this:
$('html').on('click', function() {
$('.signin_menu:visible').hide();
});
$('.signin_menu > *').on('click', function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
If a user clicks on an element outside of the .signin_menu, the .signin_menu will be hidden.

The function .hover() can have more than 1 parameter (http://api.jquery.com/hover/)
If you put a second parameter, it will add a "hoverOut" handler.
Try this:
$(".signin").hover(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".signin_menu").show();
$(".signin").addClass("menu-open");
},function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(".signin_menu").hide();
$(".signin").removeClass("menu-open");
});
$(".signin_menu").hover(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".signin_menu").show();
$(".signin").addClass("menu-open");
},function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(".signin_menu").hide();
$(".signin").removeClass("menu-open");
});
The first function is HoverIn, the second HoverOut.
That way, the dropdown will disappear after you put your mouse out of the box.

jQuery UI - Close Dialog When Clicked Outside

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

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");
};
});
