jquery-ui-dialog

I would like to pop a modal dialog using jquery ui where the overlay is completely black. I know that I can set this in the theme, but I do not want all dialogs to have a black overlay. Just one of them. Is there a way to configure a dialog's background (overlay) color on a per-dialog basis? Perhaps when it is created? TIA mohitp You can use the open and close events of the ui-dialog. $("#your-dialog").dialog( { autoOpen: false, modal: true, open: function() { $('.ui-widget-overlay').addClass('custom-overlay'); } }); And add the required styling in the CSS. Example: .ui-widget-overlay.custom

I'm using alert() to output my validation errors back to the user as my design does not make provision for anything else, but I would rather use jQuery UI dialog as the alert dialog box for my message. Since errors are not contained in a (html) div, I am not sure how to go about doing this. Normally you would assign the dialog() to a div say $("#divName").dialog() but I more need a js function something like alert_dialog("Custom message here") or something similiar. Any ideas? Clive I don't think you even need to attach it to the DOM, this seems to work for me: $("<div>Test message</div>")

I am using jquery ui dialogs in my application. How do I style the "Save" and "Cancel" buttons differently in a jquery dialog? So "Save" is more appealing than the "Cancel". I could use a hyper link for "Cancel", but how do I place that in the same button panel? Andriy Tkach Here is how to add custom classes in jQuery UI Dialog (Version 1.8+): $('#foo').dialog({ 'buttons' : { 'cancel' : { priority: 'secondary', class: 'foo bar baz', click: function() { ... }, }, } }); Alex Torrance In jQueryUI 1.8.9 using className rather than classes works. $('#element').dialog({ buttons:{ "send":{ text:'Send

Can anyone tell me how can i use a variable for button text in jQuery UI dialog? I want to make a dynamic button name. W. van Kuipers This won't work because of the way jQuery handles the button name (can be with or without quotes) This will work: var button_name = 'Test'; var dialog_buttons = {}; dialog_buttons[button_name] = function(){ closeInstanceForm(Function); } dialog_buttons['Cancel'] = function(){ $(this).dialog('close'); } $('#instanceDialog').dialog({ buttons: dialog_buttons }); What you can do is assign the button in the dialog an ID and then manipulate it using standard jQuery. $

I am trying to create an overlay, similar to the one that jQuery UI Dialog uses. I can create the overlay like this: var $overlay = $('<div class="ui-widget-overlay"></div>').hide().appendTo('body'); //...later in my script $overlay.fadeIn(); But the overlay cuts off when I scroll down. I noticed that jQuery UI is setting the width and height on that div dynamically. So I would like to reuse this functionality instead of reinventing the wheel. How can I create an overlay like this, or reuse the one in jQuery UI? Solution: Set the width/height of the overlay to be the width/height of the

I have a stepped slider, with non-linear steps - code: $(function() { var trueValues = [5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 150]; var values = [10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 100]; var slider = $("#parkSlider").slider({ orientation: 'horizontal', range: "min", value: 40, slide: function(event, ui) { var includeLeft = event.keyCode != $.ui.keyCode.RIGHT; var includeRight = event.keyCode != $.ui.keyCode.LEFT; var value = findNearest(includeLeft, includeRight, ui.value); slider.slider('value', value); $("#amount").val(getRealValue(value)); return false; }, }); function findNearest(includeLeft, includeRight, value) { var

I'm just playing around with jQuery and MVC3 at the moment, and am wondering how I can submit a form, which has been dynamically loaded into a jQueryUI dialog? My code so far consists of... Javascript/jQuery $(document).ready(function () { $('.trigger').live('click', function (event) { var id = $(this).attr('rel'); var dialogBox = $("<div>"); $(dialogBox).dialog({ autoOpen: false, resizable: false, title: 'Edit', modal: true, show: "blind", hide: "blind", open: function (event, ui) { $(this).load("PartialEdit/" + id.toString()); } } }); $(dialogBox).dialog('open'); }) }); cshtml <h2>Detail</h2
