JQueryUI model not working as expected

First time I am using JqueryUI.
I am trying to pop a conditional modal to alert the user.
In my ajax call I have the following code:
.done(function (result) {
$('#reportData').append(result);
var totalColumns = '#(ViewBag.TotalColumns)';
if (totalColumns > 10) {
callDialog();
}
else {
print();
}
})
The callDialog function is:
function callDialog() {
$("#dialog-message").dialog({
modal: true,
draggable: false,
resizeable: false,
position: ['center', 'top'],
show: 'blind',
hide: 'blind',
width: 600,
dialogClass: 'ui-dialog-osx',
buttons: [{
text: "OK",
click: function () {
print();
}
}, {
text: "Cancel",
click: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}]
});
};
The HTML for the modal is:
<div style="margin-left: 23px;">
<p>
Some Text
</p>
</div>
The issue I am seeing is the the modal appears, but then quickly goes away and the print() is then called.
I would expect the modal to appear and if the user clicks the OK button the print() would fire off and if the user clicks the cancel it woudl just close the modal.

From the API documentation: http://api.jqueryui.com/dialog/#option-buttons
The way you are using the button option is not correct.
Here is the working snippet:
buttons: [{
text: "OK",
click: function () {
print();
}
}, {
text: "Cancel",
click: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}]

jQuery dialog jumping to full page in browser

I have a dialog with a WebGrid that displays a list of items:
#if (Model.ItemsByLocation != null)
{
#grid.GetHtml(
tableStyle: "table",
fillEmptyRows: true,
headerStyle: "header",
footerStyle: "footer",
mode: WebGridPagerModes.All,
firstText: "<<First",
previousText: "<Prev",
nextText: "Next>",
lastText: "Last>>",
htmlAttributes: new { id = "grid"},
columns: new []
{
//grid.Column("ItemNumber", "Item"),
grid.Column(header: "Item Number", format: (item) => Html.ActionLink((string)item.ItemNumber, "ShowItem", "Inventory", new { id = item.ItemNumber.ToString()}, new {onclick = "GetItemDetails(" + item.ItemNumber.ToString() + ");"})),
grid.Column("ItemDescription","Desc"),
grid.Column("ItemSerialNumber","SN"),
grid.Column("itemLocationSite","Site"),
grid.Column("ItemLocationBuilding","Bldg"),
grid.Column("ItemLocationFloor","Flr"),
grid.Column("ItemLocationOffice","Off"),
grid.Column("ItemTypeDescription","Type"),
grid.Column("FirstName","First"),
grid.Column("LastName","Last")
})
}
else {
<p><i>No item to display</i></p>
}
This is a dialog itself from another page - no problem with this. When I click on the link the JS function is called:
function GetItemDetails(id) {
var test = id;
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '#Url.Action("ShowItem")?id=' + id,
success: function (data) {
$("#divDetails").html(data);
$("#divDetails").dialog("open");
$("#divDetails").show();
}
});
return false;
}
This responds with another dialog on top of the first dialog, but only for a second or two and then both dialog close and the data in the second dialog is displayed full page in the browser. Any ideas why this is?
This is the dialog for the details:
$(document).ready(function () {
//debugger;
$("#divDetails").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 'auto',
resizable: true,
title: 'Item Details',
modal: true,
closeOnEscape: false,
show: {
effect: 'drop', direction: 'up'
},
buttons: {
"OK": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
}).prev("ui-dialog-titlebar").css("background", "#FF3300");
$(".dialog").click(function () {
$("#divDetails").dialog("open");
});
});
<div id="divDetails" style="display:none" class="ui-dialog-titlebar ui-widget-header">
</div>
I put some breakpoints in the code and after the second dialog is displayed the controller Index function is called. How does that happen? It does this if I remove the ShowItem from the link, But if I put that back in, it calls the ShowItem function twice. Why?

I still do not know what the problem was but if I change the webgrid column to this, it works just fine:
grid.Column(header: "Item Number", format:##item.ItemNumber.ToString()),

Show Popup on Click

Following code, but it is not working.
$('#img').on('click', function () {
$("#new").dialog({
autoOpen: true,
position: { my: "center", at: "top+350", of: window },
width: 1000,
resizable: false,
title: 'Add User Form',
modal: true,
open: function () {
$(this).load('#Url.Action("_new", "Help")');
},
buttons: {
"Add User": function () {
addUserInfo();
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
return false;
});
I have a partial view name _new in Help Folder Under Views.
Can someone guide me too achieve it. I am using MVC4 framework :)

You have to move the click to the anchor (a) instead of the img. The click event will never reach the img.
See jsfiddle.

wait till jquery dialog box returns

I need to open a popup window on clicking a button and used jquery dialog for this.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#dialog-form").dialog({
autoOpen : false,
height : 300,
width : 350,
modal : true,
buttons : {
"Add" : function() {
$("#tag1").text($("#textArea").val());
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel : function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close : function() {
$("#textArea").val("");
}
});
});
function openWindow(){
$("#dialog-form").dialog("open");
statement1;
statement2;
}
<button id="add" onclick="openWindow()">Add</button>
problem over here is when i click the button dialog box is opened, but before even i enter some text in the dialog box statement1 and statement2 are getting executed and then focus is coming to the dialog box.
How can i make the statement1 and statement2 to execute only after dialog box returns?
I don't want to add the statement1 and statement2 to the "Add" function. The reason for not adding the statements in the "Add" function is because i have multiple buttons and each of these should first open the dialog box and then will execute different set of statements.

Easy fix would be to use the close callback:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#dialog-form").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Add": function () {
$("#tag1").text($("#textArea").val());
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: function () {
$("#textArea").val("");
//statement1 -- won't fire until dialog is closed
//statement2 -- won't fire until dialog is closed
}
});
});
function openWindow() {
$("#dialog-form").dialog("open");
}
Another thing to consider would be $.Deferred

I have an example for you:
$(".selector").click(function () {
var dialog = $('<div title="Title"></div>').dialog({
open: function (event, ui) {
$.ajax({
url: 'www.google.com.br',
cache: false,
success: function (html) {
$(dialog).html(html);
},
error: function () {
$(dialog).remove();
alert("Some Error MSG");
}
});
},
close: function () {
$(dialog).remove();
},
resizable: false,
width: 500,
modal: true
});
});
In this case, the dialog is receiving the HTML result, only after it opens.

This can be achieved by the following way:-
$('#mydialog').dialog("open");
$('#mydialog').load('serverURL',server_data_variable, function() {
myfunction();
});
This will execute the function once the dialog loading is done.It will register the callback to be executed post dialog done.The variable server_data_variable is optional and is supposed to be used only if user wants to send some data otherwise it can be skipped as.well.

Solution 1: (same as solution from Aaron Blenkush)
$("#dialog-form").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Add": function () {
$("#tag1").text($("#textArea").val());
$(this).dialog("close");
//statement1 -- will fire only if "add" button is clicked
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close: function () {
$("#textArea").val("");
//statement1 -- will fire after dialog is closed
}
});
Solution 2 is to make a promise:
const dialogPromise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
$("#dialog-form").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Add": function () {
$("#tag1").text($("#textArea").val());
$(this).dialog("close");
resolve(true);
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
resolve(false);
}
},
close: function () {
$("#textArea").val("");
}
});
});
const addClicked = await dialogPromise;

Call callback function after "open" clause in the dialog setup.
modal: true,
resizable: false,
resize: 'auto',
close: dialogCloseFunction,
**open: function(){if(itemid) {showDailogSides(itemid);}** if(!siteParams[3]) {$(".detailSideClass").hide(); $(".addToChartinDialog").hide();}},
//hide: {effect: "fadeOut", duration: 5000}
show: { effect: "fade", duration: 1000 } //drop blind fade fold slide clip

Confirm Jquery UI Dialog Prompt on Enter Key

I've tried the techniques suggested in the following stack answer to no luck:
Submit jQuery UI dialog on <Enter>
Something must be off with my code. On login, I have a disclaimer that pops up to warn the user that the information found within the site is confidential. I would like it so that to continue, all the user has to do is hit the enter key. Here is my original code (I've included a browser check):
$("#loginForm").submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
if ($.browser.msie) {
$("#dialog-confirm")
.dialog({
resizable: false,
height: 300,
width: 550,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Continue": function (e) {
$("#loginForm").unbind('submit').submit(),
$(this).dialog("close"),
$("#loginForm").submit();
$("#btnLogin").click();
},
Cancel: function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
})
}
else {
$("#dialog-browser")
.dialog({
resizable: false,
height: 220,
width: 480,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Close": function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
})
};
});
Now here is my code with the keyup commands:
$("#loginForm").submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
if ($.browser.msie) {
$("#dialog-confirm")
.dialog({
resizable: false,
height: 300,
width: 550,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Continue": function (e) {
$("#loginForm").unbind('submit').submit(),
$(this).dialog("close"),
$("#loginForm").submit();
$("#btnLogin").click();
},
Cancel: function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
HERE>>> open: function() {
$("#dialog-confirm").keypress(function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == $.ui.keyCode.ENTER) {
$("#loginForm").unbind('submit').submit(),
$(this).dialog("close"),
$("#loginForm").submit();
$("#btnLogin").click();
}
});
}
})
}
else {
$("#dialog-browser")
.dialog({
resizable: false,
height: 220,
width: 480,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Close": function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
})
};
});
This unfortunately is not working for me and I can't for the life of me figure out why? If anyone can see where the issue is, I'd be extremely grateful!
Thanks!!

I put this aside for most of the day and just revisited it. I got it working! Here's my code:
$("#loginForm").submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
if ($.browser.msie) {
$("#dialog-confirm")
.dialog({
resizable: false,
height: 300,
width: 550,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Continue": {
text: "Continue",
id: "btnContinue",
click: function (e) {
$("#loginForm").unbind('submit').submit(),
$(this).dialog("close"),
$("#loginForm").submit();
$("#btnLogin").click();
}
},
Cancel: function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
open: function () {
$(document).keydown(function (event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
$("#btnContinue").click();
}
});
}
})
}
Essentially, I assigned the button in my dialog an ID value, and instead of $("#dialog-confirm").keydown I used $(document).keydown. Since the function is set only after the dialog opens, it won't necessarily affect the rest of my page. Inside of the keydown function, I have it hitting the continue button of which I call out by ID.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Try using this:
$("#dialog-confirm").keydown(function (event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
// Submit it
}
});

If you don't have any elements in the dialog that will get focus (i.e: input elements), you can try the approach suggested in this question: jquery-ui Dialog: Make a button in the dialog the default action (Enter key)
