Jquery modal popup return to view and show summary message after comfirmation - jquery-ui

Question

I have a modal popup just for comfirmation. When 'continue' is clicked it closes and it goes to the controller Action Delete and it returns. But after returning back to the view, the summary message validation div is not being showed which is what I want.
Here is the modal with div code:
<div id="delete-dialog" title="Confirmation">
<p>Are you sure you want to delete this?</p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" lang="javascript">
//$(document).ready(function () {
$(function () {
var deleteLinkObj;
$('.delete-link').click(function () {
deleteLinkObj = $(this); //for future use
$('#delete-dialog').dialog('open');
return false; // prevents the default behaviour
});
$('#delete-dialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 400,
height: 250,
resizable: false,
modal: true, //Dialog options
buttons: {
"Continue": function () {
$.post(deleteLinkObj[0].href, function (data)
{ //Post to action
if (data == '')
{
}
else
{
}
});
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"Cancel": function ()
{
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
});
//})
</script>
So what i basically want it to do, is going to the controller if 'continue' is clicked, and show the summary message.
So how can I 'stop' the execution of the jquery function after comming from the controller?
I got the modal code from this site

Answer 1

You should use .append of jQuery inside your callback, after the post.
As you did not show any div. I'm assuming the div as
<div id="summary"></div>
This is how you the final dialog is :
$('#delete-dialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 400,
height: 250,
resizable: false,
modal: true, //Dialog options
buttons: {
"Continue": function () {
$.post(deleteLinkObj[0].href, function (data)
{ //Post to action
if (data == '')
{
}
else
{
$('#summary').append(data); // this will append the content in data to your div with id as summary
}
});
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"Cancel": function ()
{
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
Hope it helps
