Question

Background:
A table with rows is created dynamically with php on a page.
Using jquery-ui-1.8.14.custom.min.js and jquery-1.5.1.min.js

Goal:
I’d like to be able to click on a row which would update the Jquery Ui dialog div with new content from a php page and then display this content in the Jquery Ui dialog box.

$(function(){
  $('tr').live('click', function(){
    $('.ui-dialog').load('<?php echo base_url();?>index.php/a/b/1');
    $('.ui-dialog').dialog('open');
  });
});

This code makes the dialog appear and disappear very fast without halting.
I’ve also tried the following which I thought would work:

$(function(){
  $('tr').live('click', function(){
    $('.ui-dialog').load('<?php echo base_url();?>index.php/a/b/1',
      function(){
        $('.ui-dialog').dialog('open')
    });
  });
});

Dialog code:

$(function(){$('.ui-dialog').dialog({
        autoOpen: false,
        width: 600,
        draggable: true,
        resizable: true,
        open: function(){
                        $('.ui-widget-overlay').fadeIn();},
        beforeClose: function(){
                        $('.ui-widget-overlay').fadeOut();},
        show: "fade",
        hide: "fade", 
        buttons: {
        "Back to search": function() { 
            $(this).dialog("close"); }
        }
    })});

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

when you initialise like :

$(function(){$('.ui-dialog').dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    width: 600,
    draggable: true,
    resizable: true,
    open: function(){
                    $('.ui-widget-overlay').fadeIn();},
    beforeClose: function(){
                    $('.ui-widget-overlay').fadeOut();},
    show: "fade",
    hide: "fade", 
    buttons: {
    "Back to search": function() { 
        $(this).dialog("close"); }
    }
})});

It adds HTML to the .ui-dialog when you .load() it removes it.

What you need to do is either put the initialise code after the ajax load or:

$(function(){
  $('tr').live('click', function(){
    $('.ui-dialog .ui-dialog-content').load('<?php echo base_url();?>index.php/a/b/1',
      function(){
        $('.ui-dialog').dialog('open')
    });
  });
});
