This is my document.ready code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dialogbox").dialog({
open: function(event, ui) {$("a.ui-dialog-titlebar-close").remove();},
bgiframe: true,autoOpen: false,closeOnEscape: false,draggable: false,
show: "drop",hide: "drop",zIndex: 10000,modal: true,
buttons: {'Ok': function() {$(this).dialog("close");processEmp();}}
});
});
I have the following JavaScript code that takes one parameter:
function test(pEmp)
{
var a = pEmp.value);
$('#dialogbox').dialog('open');
}
My question is, based on the value that I pass into my test function, which in turn calls my jQuery UI dialog ('#dialogbox'), when the user presses the 'Ok' button in the dialog, I need to somehow (which is what I am not sure how to do), pass the the variable "a" which holds my pEmp.value, into my other function processEmp(a?), which I have attached to my 'Ok' button.
I basically need this value when the user acknowledges the dialog box.
You may pass custom option to dialog before opening it:
$(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog({
open: function (event, ui) { $("a.ui-dialog-titlebar-close").remove(); },
bgiframe: true,
autoOpen: false,
closeOnEscape: false,
draggable: false,
show: "drop",
hide: "drop",
zIndex: 10000,
modal: true,
buttons: { 'Ok': function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
processEmp($(this).data("pEmpValue"));
}
}
});
});
function processEmp(a) {
alert(a);
}
function test(pEmp) {
$("#dialog").data("pEmpValue", pEmp.value).dialog("open");
}
Or even the simplest solution is to declare a
variable in scope of the window:
var a = null;
$(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog({
open: function (event, ui) { $("a.ui-dialog-titlebar-close").remove(); },
bgiframe: true,
autoOpen: false,
closeOnEscape: false,
draggable: false,
show: "drop",
hide: "drop",
zIndex: 10000,
modal: true,
buttons: { 'Ok': function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
processEmp(a);
}
}
});
});
function processEmp(a) {
alert(a);
}
function test(pEmp) {
a = pEmp.value;
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
}
You can achieve this by adding an event handler for 'close'. Something like this:
$("#dialogbox").bind("dialogclose", function(event, ui) { processEmp(a); });
