I have a jqueryUI dialog popup that is showing on the page... and popping up when requested. Some odd functionality. Anything within the div will show on the page, and the popup will work however be without the contents on the div. I am trying to create the popup before the document is ready. Here is the code that my object is running, again before document ready.
var edit_div=document.createElement('div');
var me = this;
$(edit_div).dialog(
{
autoOpen: false,
height: 400,
width: 600,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons:
{
"Submit": function()
{
me.submitForm();
},
Cancel: function()
{
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
},
close: function()
{
},
});
The popup works correctly if I move the dialog creation code to a separate function and call that when the document is ready like so:
$(document).ready(function()
{
mfg_table.init();
}
And the init code to create the dialog
this.init = function()
{
//alert('initing');
var me = this;
$('#' +this.table_id + this.edit_table_name).dialog(
{
autoOpen: false,
height: 400,
width: 600,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons:
{
"Submit": function()
{
me.submitForm();
},
Cancel: function()
{
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
},
close: function()
{
},
});
}
So why can't I create the dialog on the DOM object before rendering of the page?
Is it possible your script is being called before your jquery.js files are being loaded by the browser?
Document.ready waits until the page is fully loaded before running your code. The fact that it isn't working correctly without it, implies that the necessary resources aren't being loaded before you try to run your script.
You may want to try to move your inline script to the very end of your html file, particularly after all your .js and plugin files have been referenced.
I wish I could be more specific, but it's hard to see whats going on without more of the code or a live example.
I'm pretty much a total noob to JavaScript and jQuery and I'm having trouble getting a basic dialog box working. Here is my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var dialog = $("#dialog");
dialog.dialog({
title: "Dialog",
modal: true,
draggable: false,
resizable: false,
autoOpen: false,
width: 500,
height: 400
});
dialog.hide();
});
function showDialog() {
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
}
$("ui-widget-overlay").click(function() {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").trigger("click");
});
</script>
<div id="dialog">
Dialog text.
</div>
<button onclick="showDialog()">Show Dialog</button>
When I click the button, the title bar of the dialog comes up and the background of the page dims, but there are two problems:
The body of the dialog does not show (all that shows is the title bar)
When I click outside of the dialog, the dialog does not close. I have to click the "x" in the corner in order for the dialog to close.
I've been reading tons of related questions on here, but nothing I try seems to work. Any advice?
I believe the problem you're having is from this line:
dialog.hide();
What I would suggest is removing all of the dialog content from the dialog div and populating it when you actually show the dialog.
<div id="dialog"></div>
function showDialog()
{
$("#dialog").html("Dialog Text.");
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
}
As for handling the close part, have you tried nesting everything in the main page in a <div> of its own and then handling that click event?
<div id="mainPageDiv">
</div>
$("#mainPageDiv").click(function(){
$("#dialog").dialog("close");
});
Just use a modal dialog and close the dialog when they click the overlay. Also, you should not need to put any code in $(document).ready for this.
function showDialog() {
var dialog = $("#dialog");
dialog.dialog({
title: "Dialog",
modal: true,
open: function () {
$('.ui-widget-overlay').bind('click', function () {
dialog.dialog('close');
});
}
});
}
Demonstration
I see your:
$("ui-widget-overlay").click(
perhaps should select a class:
$(".ui-widget-overlay").click(
which does not happen as it does not exist, so you need to hook it to the document.
and the dialog.hide(); is not needed as it hides it automatically when it becomes a dialog
SO you should have:
$(document).on('click',".ui-widget-overlay", function() {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").trigger("click");
});
more simply:(if you have no other dialogs you need to deal with this way)
$(document).on('click',".ui-widget-overlay", function() {
$("#dialog").dialog("close");
});
sample fiddle to show full reworked code: http://jsfiddle.net/GrFE3/2/
I am adding this as an additional answer as it goes about this differently, changing the markup, removing the in-line event handler in the markup, uses your button, and uses your dialog variable (differently than you, but...
<div id="dialog">
Dialog text.
</div>
<button id="showDialog">Show Dialog</button>
and the code for that markup:
$(document).ready(function() {
var dialog = $("#dialog");
dialog.dialog({
title: "Dialog",
modal: true,
draggable: false,
resizable: false,
autoOpen: false,
width: 500,
height: 400
});
$('#showDialog').click(function() {
dialog.dialog("open");
});
$(document).on('click', ".ui-widget-overlay", function() {
dialog.dialog("close");
});
});
IE shows scrollbars when JQuery Dialog pops up. FF doesnt show scrollbars. Whats wrong with IE CSS?
<div id="disablebg" style="display: none;overflow:hidden;">
<uc1:CreateInqGeneral ID="CreateInqGeneral1" runat="server" />
</div>
function ShowDialog() {
$("#disablebg").dialog({
resizable: false,
modal: true,
width: "550px"
});
}
I use something like this to avoid this problem. You can easily modify it to hide the horizontal scrollbar only.
function hideScrollBars() {
var top = $('html').scrollTop();
var left = $('html').scrollLeft();
$('html').css('overflow', 'hidden');
$('html').scrollTop(top);
$('html').scrollLeft(left);
}
function showScrollBars() {
var top = $('html').scrollTop();
var left = $('html').scrollLeft();
$('html').css('overflow', 'auto');
$('html').scrollTop(top);
$('html').scrollLeft(left);
}
$.extend($.ui.dialog.prototype.options, {
bgiframe: true,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
open: function () { hideScrollBars(); },
close: function () { showScrollBars(); }
});
Note: this way I set the open and close events globaly for all dialog instances. If you overwrite the open/close events on specific instances, you have to call the hideScrollBars/showScrollBars functions.
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");
};
});
I have a problem with the jquery-ui dialog box.
The problem is that when I close the dialog box and then I click on the link that triggers it, it does not pop-up again unless I refresh the page.
How can I call the dialog box back without refreshing the actual page.
Below is my code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#showTerms').click(function()
{
$('#terms').css('display','inline');
$('#terms').dialog({
resizable: false,
modal: true,
width: 400,
height: 450,
overlay: { backgroundColor: "#000", opacity: 0.5 },
buttons:{ "Close": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); } },
close: function(ev, ui) { $(this).remove(); },
});
});
Thanks
You're actually supposed to use $("#terms").dialog({ autoOpen: false }); to initialize it.
Then you can use $('#terms').dialog('open'); to open the dialog, and $('#terms').dialog('close'); to close it.
I solved it.
I used destroy instead close function (it doesn't make any sense), but it worked.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#showTerms').click(function()
{
$('#terms').css('display','inline');
$('#terms').dialog({resizable: false,
modal: true,
width: 400,
height: 450,
overlay: { backgroundColor: "#000", opacity: 0.5 },
buttons:{ "Close": function() { $(this).dialog('**destroy**'); } },
close: function(ev, ui) { $(this).close(); },
});
});
$('#form1 input#calendarTEST').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'MM d, yy' });
});
on the last line, don't use $(this).remove() use $(this).hide() instead.
EDIT: To clarify,on the close click event you're removing the #terms div from the DOM which is why its not coming back. You just need to hide it instead.
I believe you can only initialize the dialog one time. The example above is trying to initialize the dialog every time #terms is clicked. This will cause problems. Instead, the initialization should occur outside of the click event. Your example should probably look something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
// dialog init
$('#terms').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
width: 400,
height: 450,
overlay: { backgroundColor: "#000", opacity: 0.5 },
buttons: { "Close": function() { $(this).dialog('close'); } },
close: function(ev, ui) { $(this).close(); }
});
// click event
$('#showTerms').click(function(){
$('#terms').dialog('open').css('display','inline');
});
// date picker
$('#form1 input#calendarTEST').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'MM d, yy' });
});
I'm thinking that once you clear that up, it should fix the 'open from link' issue you described.
For me this approach works:
The dialog may be closed by clicking the X on the dialog or by clicking 'Bewaren'. I'm adding an (arbitrary) id because I need to be sure every bit of html added to the dom is removed afterwards.
$('<div id="dossier_edit_form_tmp_id">').html(data.form)
.data('dossier_id',dossier_id)
.dialog({
title: 'Opdracht wijzigen',
show: 'clip',
hide: 'clip',
minWidth: 520,
width: 520,
modal: true,
buttons: { 'Bewaren': dossier_edit_form_opslaan },
close: function(event, ui){
$(this).dialog('destroy');
$('#dossier_edit_form_tmp_id').remove();
}
});
<button onClick="abrirOpen()">Open Dialog</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $dialogo = $("<div></div>").html("Aqui tu contenido(here your content)").dialog({
title: "Dialogo de UI",
autoOpen: false,
close: function(ev, ui){
$(this).dialog("destroy");
}
function abrirOpen(){
$dialogo.dialog("open");
}
});
//**Esto funciona para mi... (this works for me)**
</script>
This is a super old thread but since the answer even says "It doesn't make any sense", I thought I'd add the answer...
The original post used $(this).remove(); in the close handler, this would actually remove the dialog div from the DOM. Attempting to initialize a dialog again wouldn't work because the div was removed.
Using $(this).dialog('destroy') is calling the method destroy defined in the dialog object which does not remove it from the DOM.
From the documentation:
destroy()
Removes the dialog functionality completely. This will return the element back to its >>pre-init state.
This method does not accept any arguments.
That said, only destroy or remove on close if you have a good reason to.
$(this).dialog('destroy');
works!
.close() is mor general and can be used in reference to more objects. .dialog('close') can only be used with dialogs
I use the dialog as an dialog file browser and uploader then I rewrite the code like this
var dialog1 = $("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 480,
width: 640
});
$('#tikla').click(function() {
dialog1.load('./browser.php').dialog('open');
});
everything seems to work great.
I had the same problem with jquery-ui overlay dialog box - it would work only once and then stop unless i reload the page. I found the answer in one of their examples -
Multiple overlays on a same page
flowplayer_tools_multiple_open_close
- who would have though, right?? :-) -
the important setting appeared to be
oneInstance: false
so, now i have it like this -
$(document).ready(function() {
var overlays = null;
overlays = jQuery("a[rel]");
for (var n = 0; n < overlays.length; n++) {
$(overlays[n]).overlay({
oneInstance: false,
mask: '#669966',
effect: 'apple',
onBeforeLoad: function() {
overlay_before_load(this);
}
});
}
}
and everything works just fine
hope this helps somebody
O.
The jQuery documentation has a link to this article
'Basic usage of the jQuery UI dialog'
that explains this situation and how to resolve it.
