Question

I want to display some information (in jquery dialog), so when user enters a value in the text box and on blur It should make an ajax call using that value and display information in the dialog box.

This is what i tried so far:

 $(function () {
   $('#MyTextbox').blur(function () {
    var id = $(this).val();
    if (id >= "1") {
        alert(id);
        ShowData();
      }
    });
 });

function ShowData() {
   $("#dialog").dialog();
}

Is there any other better way of doing this?

Answer 1

$(function () {

   $("#dialog").dialog({ isOpen : false});//Create Dialog


   $('#MyTextbox').blur(function () {
       var id = parseInt($(this).val()); //See correction here


       if(id >= 1) {
         //Get content and append to dialog
         $("#dialog").dialog("open");//Open dialog
       } 
   });

});
