Question

I want to enable a button after that i have opened a jquery dialog with option modal set to true.The button obviously is outside the dialog. I already know that this seems to be a strange request but i need this behaviour because I have a form in the dialog so after click on the button to submit the data I have to append the dialog at the end of the form and then click agin on the button that now is outside of the dialog.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Use te open event that is fired whenever the dialog is opened

$( ".selector" ).dialog({
   open: function(event, ui) { 
        $('#yourhiddenbutton').show();
    }
});

EDIT – you could do it like this

$(function() {            
    $("#dialogRifiuto").dialog({
        width: 'auto',
        autoOpen: true,
        closeOnEscape: true,
        modal: true,
        resizable: false,
        open: function(){
            //change the z-index and position the div where you want
            $('#a').css({'z-index':  1005, 'position': 'absolute', 'top': 0 });            
        },
        close: function(){
            //go back to normal
            $('#a').css({'z-index':  1, 'position': 'static' });        
        }

    })

});
