Question

I ask for some help/advise.

I have a jquery form dialog to collect usr/pwd in order to do a ftp login.

I have the form working and the dialog is showing me the correct values for the fields but the dialog I have is not working (I am newbie with jquery) nothing happens. My guess is the .ajax but I cannot be sure.

Here is the code I have:

$(function(){
  $('#ftp').dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    show: 'highlight',
    hide: 'scale',
    modal: true,
    buttons: {
        'send': function() {
            var name = $('#usr').val(), password = $('#pwd').val();
            var myftp = $(this);

            if (name != '' && password != '') { // alert('name=' + name + '&pass=' + password);
                $.ajax({
                  type: 'POST',
                  url: 'ftp.php',
                  data: 'name='+name+'&pass='+password,
                  success: function(msg){
                    alert(msg);
                    $(myftp).dialog('close');
                  }
                });
            }
        },
        'close': function() { $(this).dialog('close'); }
    },
    resizable: false,
    width: '500px'
});

http://ftp.php is a simple header ('location: ... ) to call the ftp with the proper parameters.

#ftp is the form id containing usr/pwd.

I don’t know if jquery has the equivalent functionality. I am more familiar with php

I really appreciate your help with this.

I solved. Finally I replace ajax and the result is:

if (name != '' && password != '') {                  //alert('usr='+name+'&pwd='+password);
    window.parent.location="http://domain.com/ftp.php?" + 'name='+name+'&password='+password;
}

I’ll try later with $(“#myForm”).submit() instead to avoid the password travel in the open. But this works as per my own request.
