jQuery live submit caugth in infinite loop - submit

I'm trying to submit a form using jQuery and it worked just fine until I had to add a confirmation window so users can review their data before submission, here's the code:
$("#create-group-form").live('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var form = $(this);
jConfirm('Here I display the group info...', 'Confirm Group', function(r){
if ( r ) {
form.submit();
}
});
});
I'm using the jAlert plugin for jQuery but it works just as a regular Confirm prompt with different styling, the preblem is that when users click Ok on the prompt it goes again into the live submit getting stuck in an infinite loop.
Is there a way to stop it from going in again this event after I confirm? I think I can unbind it somehow but I haven't found a way to do it successfully.
BTW I'm using live submit because the form is in a modal window.
Thanks in advance!

Call the form element's submit method, rather than the jQuery selection's one. This means the jQuery handler won't be triggered:
$("#create-group-form").live('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var form = this; // <-- this line changed
jConfirm('Here I display the group info...', 'Confirm Group', function(r){
if ( r ) {
form.submit();
}
});
});

This will unbind your event handler before you call submit() on it again.
$("#create-group-form").live('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var form = $(this);
jConfirm('Here I display the group info...', 'Confirm Group', function(r){
if ( r ) {
form.unbind('submit');
form.submit();
}
});
});

Replace the submit button on the form with a button tag with an ID like #psuedo-submit. When #psuedo-submit is clicked, pop the modal window up and do an actual submit on confirmation.

how to display pop up on another page on success of post method in mobile jquery?

i am working on a project which is based on jquery Mobile. i am a biggner in this field, so sorry for the silly question. the question is -- i have a page 'Page1' and i am using post method to fetch data from database. On success i am showing a notification to user through a notification dialog(without cancel and ok button). now what i want this success message on another page "page2", and the message should be there up to 2 sec and then disappear automatically. i have tried
function sendAddGuest(data, dialog) {
$.post("/GuestsList/AddGuest", data, function (response) { //using the post method
//alert(JSON.stringify(response));
$('.error').html("");
hideLoading();
if (response.result == 'success') { //if the process done
$.mobile.changePage('/GuestsList/Index', { dataUrl: "/GuestsList/Index", reloadPage: false, changeHash: true }); //To another page "page2"
// window.setTimeout('showToastMessage("Guest added successfully with window");',2000); //i have tried this
setTimeout(function () { showToastMessage("Guest added successfully test2"); }, 100); //and this also i want to show this message on other page "page2"
}
}
I am also beginning with Jquery Mobile, based in the toy project I am working with I would suggest the following:
Use popup from jquerymobile instead of showToast, then you could call
the .close() of the element in the settimeout function.
This is the div you create for your popup (you put it in the page 2):
<div data-role="popup" id="myPopup" class="ui-content" data-theme="e">
<p>Guest added successfully</p>
</div>
This is how you could call the function to open once in the new page (use the pageload event):
$('#myPopup').popup('open');
This is how you could call the function to close (in the same pageload event):
window.setTimeout(function(){ $('#myPopup').popup('close'); }, 2000)
Sorry I have no time to code a complete example, but I think this is the way to go.
Hope this helps!:-)

jquery Modal Dialogue. On close refresh page with specific parameters

I was wondering if there is someway to change the url of a reload when I close the modal window...
Right now I have this in the onClose event...
, close: function (event, ui) {
//debugger;
//if($url.contains)
location.reload(true);
}
ideally I would like to be able to pass a couple of parameters to the location.reload(true) function.
Or maybe there is another way to reload?
You can change your location.href directly and it will load corresponding page. such as:
location.href = location.href + '?a=1'

Redirect jQuery Mobile page on form submit in Trigger.io

I'm trying to build a simple prototype of an app and I cannot seem to get JQM to change to either an internal or external page with $.mobile.changePage($('#page2')) or $.mobile.changePage('page2.html').
I have successfully binded the form submit to the button, but when clicking (tapping), it changes the same page. After a second click/tap, it redirects.
$("#fd-login button#login-fd-submit").on('click', function(e) {
forge.logging.info('login-fd-submit clicked');
$.mobile.changePage('page2.html');
});
For a "local" page in your "src" directory:
$("#fd-login button#login-fd-submit").on('click', function(e) {
forge.logging.info('login-fd-submit clicked');
forge.file.getLocal('page2.html', function(file) {
$.mobile.changePage(file);
}, function(err) {
forge.logging.log("error");
});
});
If you are using a jQuery object instead, then its mostly likely not trigger.io and need to see more code.
It seems that $(element).on("click", function() {}); doesn't work for this. $(element).live("click", function() {}); works perfectly.
Try using:-
$("#fd-login button#login-fd-submit").on('tap', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
forge.logging.info('login-fd-submit clicked');
$.mobile.changePage('page2.html');
});
Update: Changed to use tap event.

jQuery UI: Show dialog that user must confirm or cancel

I have a few links on my site that will need to show a modal dialog when the user clicks on one of them. The modal will contain a message like: You are now leaving the "SECTION NAME" part of "SITE NAME". The user will then either accept which will allow the user to continue on with their request or cancel which will keep the user where they are.
An example of a link would be: My Interests
So as you can see the class of leaving-section would cause the link to do what I have specified above, and will also open the link in a new tab/window BUT the user must first accept that they are aware they are being taken to another part of the site.
I have looked at the docs but I haven't seen any examples where a) the dialog is created on the fly rather than hiding and showing a div and b) allowing the user to confirm and being sent to their original location i.e. the url which they clicked.
This is what I have so far:
$("#leaving-section").dialog({
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"I understand, take me there": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"I want to stay where I am": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
$('.leaving-section').click(function (event)
{
event.preventDefault();
var $dialog = $('#leaving-section');
$dialog.dialog('open');
});
But I want to the modal to be created by jquery instead of the div being embedded in the page! Also how do I get the first button to send them off to their original destination?
Thanks to all who can help. Thanks
I just had to solve the same problem. The key to getting this to work was that the dialog must be partially initialized in the click event handler for the link you want to use the confirmation functionality with (if you want to use this for more than one link). This is because the target URL for the link must be injected into the event handler for the confirmation button click. I used a CSS class to indicate which links should have the confirmation behavior.
Here's my solution, abstracted away to be suitable for an example.
<div id="dialog" title="Confirmation Required">
Are you sure about this?
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true
});
});
$(".confirmLink").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var targetUrl = $(this).attr("href");
$("#dialog").dialog({
buttons : {
"Confirm" : function() {
window.location.href = targetUrl;
},
"Cancel" : function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
});
</script>
<a class="confirmLink" href="http://someLinkWhichRequiresConfirmation.com">Click here</a>
<a class="confirmLink" href="http://anotherSensitiveLink">Or, you could click here</a>
I believe that this would work for you, if you can generate your links with the CSS class (confirmLink, in my example).
I think this plugin may be help
http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal-confirmation
Heres an example of how you can do it:
http://jsfiddle.net/yFkgR/3/
Or to do something besides cancel
http://jsfiddle.net/yFkgR/4/
You can just define your own buttons. You can style the dialog box anyway you want, i just used the default.
also to use ajax to load the html you can take a look at:
jQuery UI Dialog window loaded within AJAX style jQuery UI Tabs
There is an open option you can use to load html from a remote web page. I jquery you can create a div just be doing
$("<div>");
it will create the closing tag too. Or as suggested in the post you can also use
$('a.ajax')

jQuery UI dialog form, not sending correct variable

I'm loading a customer info page using jQuery. There's a list of customers with a link next to it:
View
That triggers this function:
function load_customer(id) {
$("#dashboard").load('get_info/' + id);
}
That works perfectly. On the page I'm loading, I have a jQuery UI modal dialog form for adding new information.
<div id="addinfo">
<form><input type="hidden" name="customer_id" value="<?php echo $c->id; ?>" /></form>
</div>
My javascript:
$("#addinfobutton").click(function(){
$("#addinfo").dialog("open");
return false;
});
$("#addinfo").dialog({
autoOpen:false,
width:400,
height:550,
modal: true
});
When you select a customer the first time, it populates the hidden field correctly, but then it stays the same even after selecting other customers.
I thought that by loading a new customer page, the form would reset as well... but apparently it's being stored/cached somewhere. If I echo the ID anywhere else in the page, it shows correctly... just not in the "addinfo" div.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
JQuery dialog's dont reload the content for you when you open them. I tend to have an AJAX call replacing the content of the div that the dialog is on (or tweakng some values in it) when the dialog is opened.
If you want a hidden field, then I wouldn't put it within the dialog, you should be able to retrieve the value from outside the dialog.
After some more researching, it seems the dialog is being cached client-side after it's called. So to get around that, I just added the customerId to the end of the popup div's ID name... so each customer page will have a unique dialog ID.
However, if it's caching each of those dialogs, won't there be a performance loss if you open quite a few? How can you clear them without having to do a full page refresh?
I guess if the #addinfo div is updated it should capture the new content...anyway this would destroy the dialog after closing it to insure a new instance will be created:
$("#addinfobutton").click(function(){
openDialog('#addinfo');
return false;
});
function openDialog(elm) {
$(elm).dialog({
autoOpen:true,
width:400,
height:550,
modal: true,
close: function() {
$(this).dialog('destroy');
}
});
}
