Question

i want to refresh the parent site when i close my jquery dialog. i look at the jquery site and the close event but i am not sure if i get it. so i would appriciate a litle help on the way.

from what i figure sofar i have to do like this. this is my code for the dialog i use.

$("#dialog").dialog({ height: 700, width: 600, closeOnEscape: true, title: 'View', close: function(event, ui) }).dialog("open");

now what i dont get is the close function there, should it be there in the first place? what goes on the event and ui(the close function is straight from the jquery site)?

where should i go from here?

thanks for any help i could get on this.

Answer 1

$("#dialog").dialog({ height: 700, width: 600, closeOnEscape: true, title: 'View', 
   close: function(event, ui){ doThings(); }}).dialog("open");

What you need to do is to either use a defined function or define it on the fly.
