i want to open multiple dialog boxes by using the same class on both the button and the content div. The below works but only for the first time.
jQuery('.helpDialog').hide();
jQuery('.helpButton').click(function() {
jQuery(this).next('.helpDialog').dialog({
autoOpen: true,
title: 'Help',
width: 500,
height: 300,
position: [180,10],
draggable: true,
resizable: false,
modal: false
});
return false;
});
we know the reason for this http://blog.nemikor.com/2009/04/08/basic-usage-of-the-jquery-ui-dialog/ "the second call is ignored because the dialog has already been instantiated on that element."
But when i fix that problem by trying the code below, the dialog box no longer opens. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance
jQuery('.helpDialog').hide();
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('.helpDialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
title: 'Info',
width: 600,
height: 400,
position: [200,0],
draggable: false
});
});
jQuery('.helpButton').click(function() {
jQuery(this).next('.helpDialog').dialog('open');
return false;
});
You actually need a different approach here, a non-intuitive one, like this:
jQuery(function($) {
$('.helpButton').each(function() {
$.data(this, 'dialog',
$(this).next('.helpDialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
title: 'Info',
width: 600,
height: 400,
position: [200,0],
draggable: false
})
);
}).click(function() {
$.data(this, 'dialog').dialog('open');
return false;
});
});
You can test it out here.
Why must you do this? because .dialog()
moves the content it wraps in dialog elements to the end of the <body>
, so .next()
will no longer find it...by using jQuery.data()
we're maintaining a reference to the dialog we want to open.
Maybe this code will help you.
