Strange behavior with jquery event binding - javascript

Here's one for the jquery masters:
This works:
$(function (){
$("#<?= $gridArr['event_id'] ?> .gallery-add").each(function() {
var $dialog = $("<div></div>");
var $link = $(this).one("click", function() {
$dialog
.load($link.attr("href"))
.dialog({
modal: true,
width: 520,
height: 180,
title: $link.attr("title")
});
$link.click(function() {
$dialog.dialog("open");
return false;
});
alert('clicked');
$(document).bind('uploadDone', function(e) {
// alert("dialogCloser triggered in dialog function");
$dialog.dialog("close");
$("#<?= $gridArr['uniq'] ?>-event-path-form-submit").trigger('click');
});
return false;
});
});
});
This doesn't:
$(function (){
$("#<?= $gridArr['event_id'] ?> .gallery-add").each(function() {
var $dialog = $("<div></div>");
var $link = $(this).one("click", function() {
$dialog
.load($link.attr("href"))
.dialog({
modal: true,
width: 520,
height: 180,
title: $link.attr("title")
});
$link.click(function() {
$dialog.dialog("open");
return false;
});
// alert('clicked');
$(document).bind('uploadDone', function(e) {
// alert("dialogCloser triggered in dialog function");
$dialog.dialog("close");
$("#<?= $gridArr['uniq'] ?>-event-path-form-submit").trigger('click');
});
return false;
});
});
});
The only difference is the alert statement. Basically what I'm doing here is attaching a bunch of click event handlers to images, which bring up ajax upload forms in dialogs. The upload form dumps the images to an iframe. The iframe then triggers an the uploadDone handler which is bound to $(document), and that triggers another click event.
The only difference is the presence of the alert statement. I take that line out, and the dialog fails to close.
Please tell me I just missed a semicolon or something stupid.... otherwise I was thinking of using delay().
Thanks.
Solution:
I finally arrived at this after an evening of goofing. I wasn't able to positively determine what was going on with the alert statement, or how to manage the asynchronous execution, but this worked around it.
var $dialog = $("<div></div>");
$(function (){
$("#event_22 .gallery-add").each(function() {
var $link = $(this).one("click", function() {
$dialog
.load($link.attr("href"))
.dialog({
modal: true,
width: 520,
height: 180,
title: $link.attr("title")
}).bind('uploadDone', function() {
// alert("uploadDone triggered in dialog function");
$("#myForm-submit").trigger('click');
});
$link.click(function() {
$dialog.dialog("open");
return false;
});
return false;
});
});
});
In the success iframe,
parent.$dialog.dialog("close");
parent.$dialog.trigger( 'uploadDone' );
Thanks a lot everyone for your help. Here are the changes I made to get this working:
declared $dialog outside the function in the global scope
bound the uploadDone event listener to $dialog prior to creating $link.click()
changed id="22" to id="event_22" cause in html < 5, IDs have to start with alpha chars.
I'm not sure who's answer to accept, but I certainly appreciate all of your help.


The alert statement is most likely causing a block which gives the code above it time to complete before the code below gets executed. My guess is that without the alert it's going all the way to the return false before it gets done with the upload.


My guess is that the dialog is loading before the uploadDone event is bound. Is there a reason you're binding it inside the click event handler, rather than when you create it?
$(function (){
$("#<?= $gridArr['event_id'] ?> .gallery-add").each(function() {
var $dialog = $("<div></div>");
var $link = $(this).one("click", function() {
$dialog
.load($link.attr("href"))
.dialog({
modal: true,
width: 520,
height: 180,
title: $link.attr("title")
});
$link.click(function() {
$dialog.dialog("open");
return false;
});
return false;
});
$(document).bind('uploadDone', function(e) {
// alert("dialogCloser triggered in dialog function");
$dialog.dialog("close");
$("#<?= $gridArr['uniq'] ?>-event-path-form-submit").trigger('click');
});
});
});
It seems like this should work provided you always want all dialogs to close whenever uploadDone is broadcast. But, like David says in your question's comment... some context would be helpful

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 onclick function not being called

I have this function in my global.js file, code below:
$("a.dialog-page").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$this = $(this);
var URL = $(this).attr('href');
var dialogbox = document.getElementById('dialog');
var dialogOptions = {
width: 500,
height: 200,
modal: true,
close: function(event, ui){
$('#dialog').empty();
}
};
if(dialogbox==null) {
$this.after("<div id=\"dialog\"></div>");
}
jQuery('#dialog').load(URL + " #content").dialog(dialogOptions);
});
I have dynamically generated HTML with the following markup:
<div id="dynamic-id">
<a class="dialog-page" href="/test/test.php">Link to test</a>
</div>
Here is the click trigger for that link coming from my local.js file:
$('#dynamic-id').on('click', 'a.dialog-page', function(event){
event.preventDefault;
});
The problem is when clicking on the link, it is not calling ("a.dialog-page").click event which would load up my modal window.
How can I address this?
Thanks
Cheers

Since #dynamic-id is also generated dynamically, you need to use other static parent like body:
$('body').on('click', 'a.dialog-page', function(event){
event.preventDefault;
});

Element #dynamic-id is also generated dynamically.
So when you are binding the element the element #dynamic-id doesnot exist in DOM while you are binding the event to it .
TO fix this you can use as follows
$(document).on('click', 'a.dialog-page', function(event){
alert("Link clicked");
event.preventDefault;
});

Try this -
$('#dynamic-id').on('click', 'a.dialog-page', function(event){
event.preventDefault;
$this = $(this);
var URL = $(this).attr('href');
var dialogbox = document.getElementById('dialog');
var dialogOptions = {
width: 500,
height: 200,
modal: true,
close: function(event, ui){
$('#dialog').empty();
}
};
if(dialogbox==null) {
$this.after("<div id=\"dialog\"></div>");
}
jQuery('#dialog').load(URL + " #content").dialog(dialogOptions);
});
Reason for not working -
$("a.dialog-page").click(function(event) {
and
$('#dynamic-id').on('click', 'a.dialog-page', function(event){
are basically the same. so when you are executing the second line you are overriding the previous onclick event. You can use any one of them and you should be just fine. Here is the fiddle.. http://jsfiddle.net/KytV8/

You just need to target an element that exists on pageload and use the on() function
$('#container').on('click', '.element', function(){ });
The way you were originally trying to do it, the click listener doesn't get set since when it's applied, it can't find the element it's trying to listen to.

To me it looks like you are defining the click event statically, which will never be triggered by the A tag since it's not being attached to the dynamic content, then defining and attaching a new click after the dynamic data is loaded that only stops the event. I would change it to this, as also alluded to by Pointy's comment:
<div id="dynamic-id">
<a class="dialog-page" href="/test/test.php">Link to test</a>
</div>
$('#dynamic-id').on('click', 'a.dialog-page', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$this = $(this);
var URL = $(this).attr('href');
var dialogbox = document.getElementById('dialog');
var dialogOptions = {
width: 500,
height: 200,
modal: true,
close: function(event, ui){
$('#dialog').empty();
}
};
if(dialogbox==null) {
$this.after("<div id=\"dialog\"></div>");
}
jQuery('#dialog').load(URL + " #content").dialog(dialogOptions);
});

jquery dialog with issue after ajax call

I have a page that call from ajax a form with a specific target. this form has a delete entry and for that a warning with a jQuery dialog is used. everything works great.
BUT :
After doing the change or even not doing it, when I open another form (different form by ajax call) and I call the same code below described. When It is submit the dialog the #var_blabla as a value of 1 (the value of the first dialog opened/loaded) and for that moment should be '2'.
I try to figure it out.. So my problem I guess is not for the dialog it self, since I try to load a second page without the constructor and the dialog didn't open (what should be expected).
The problem is on the button 'Submit Delete' that has an event function and it stays active over another that is created.
The site have a lot of forms and many dialogs for each form, is there a wait to unbind, or destroy completely the dialog and the buttons? Ideas please?
Thanks
simplified 1st dialog call code:
$("#dialog-confirm-elimina").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
height:220,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Submit Delete': function() { $('#var_blabla').val('1');
$('#form_submit').submit();
$(this).dialog('close');
},
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}
simplified 2nd dialog call code:
$("#dialog-confirm-elimina").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
height:220,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Submit Delete': function() { $('#var_blabla').val('2');
$('#form_submit').submit();
$(this).dialog('close');
},
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}

$("#loading").hide("slow");
return false;

next the next chuck of javascript is similar to this one.
and with this work because destroy didn't:
DoChecks() As:
$.each(arrayRemove, function() {
var element = arrayRemove.pop();
$('#'+element).remove();
});

When you're done with dialog 1 try...
$("#dialog-confirm-elimina").dialog("destroy");
or in your Cancel function...
$(this).dialog("destroy");
The .dialog command creates a new dialog on the element selected. You're doing this twice, and thus having problems. Once the dialog is created it can be reused using open and close methods or destroyed as I've shown above and then recreated.

Ok, then finally I got a solution that make everything works. Instead of using the
$("#dialog-confirm-elimina").dialog("destroy");
I use:
$("#dialog-confirm-elimina").remove();
I still don't know the reason but clearly don't have the problem anymore.
Thanks for the answer though.
PS: If anyone know how could this append I appreciate to illuminate me about it.Thanks

How can I change the buttons OR function of available buttons on a jQuery dialog window after it has been loaded?

So I am opening a
$('#someelement').dialog({ title.......
autoOpen: false,
//......
buttons: { OK: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');}
},
//....
});
During this time a timer is running, if the user clicks "OK" I don't want anything to occur, but if the timer has run down, I would like change the function. I have tried the following unsuccessfully:
jQuery('#SessionTimeoutWarningDialog').dialog('option', 'buttons', {
'OK': function() {
RedirectToLogin;
jQuery(this).dialog('close');
}
});
What am I doing wrong, or how should I be handling this?

I guess I'll answer my own:
//........
$('#someelement').dialog('option', 'buttons', {
'buttonName': function() {
//your new functionality;
}
});
or with the beforeClose event:
$('#someelement').bind('dialogbeforeclose', function() {
//your new functionality;
});

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
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");
};
});
