I am trying to create a script using FLEXIGRID as a method to display the information from a database, but I want the users to able to input info into the database as well. I would like to be able to launch a modal window where the user can input the information and submit it. The way the buttons on the FLEXIGRID are coded is as following:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#flex1").flexigrid
(
{
url: 'post2.php',
dataType: 'json',
colModel : [
{display: 'ID', name : 'id', width : 40, sortable : true, align: 'center', hide: true},
......
buttons : [
{name: 'Add', bclass: 'add', onpress : test},
{separator: true},
{name: 'Delete', bclass: 'delete', onpress : test},
{separator: true},
.... some more code ...
}
);
});
function test(com,grid)
{
if (com=='Add')
{
the code that triggers the modal window
}
}
Okay, my problem:
When I press ‘Add’, I would like a modal popup window to appear to load using Ajax the content of a local file so the user can input the information.
What I have so far:
I tried using the code from JqModal:
loaded the CSS and Javascript:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jqmodal.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jqModal.js"></script>
$().ready(function() {
$('#ex2').jqm({ajax: 'examples/2.html', trigger: 'a.ex2trigger'});
});
added the div at the bottom of the page:
<div class="jqmWindow" id="ex2">
Please wait... <img src="inc/busy.gif" alt="loading" />
</div>
but how to trigger the function?
Thanks,
Cristian.
LE: This is the code I have right now and it still doesn’t work:
IE says: Object doesn’t support this property or method flexigrid, line 56 character 5 That’s exactly where the $dialog function starts.

LE2: How to load the external file thru ajax:
$(document).ready(function(){
//define config object
var dialogOpts = {
modal: true,
bgiframe: true,
autoOpen: false,
height: 500,
width: 500,
draggable: true,
resizeable: true,
open: function() {
//display correct dialog content
$("#myDialog").load("form.php");}
};
$("#myDialog").dialog(dialogOpts); //end dialog
$('#showdialog').click(function (event){
$("#myDialog").dialog("open");
return false;
}
);
});
The following sample will work with jQuery UI dialog
First defines the needed markup for the dialog:
Then, on DOM ready, setup the dialog to be a jquery UI dialog
Please notice the
autoOpen: falseparameter.When you want to show the dialog just call the open method inside of your code
hope it helps!
Update:
I have created a sample on jsbin.com for you. You can see it working here while you can see the code here.
