display jquery dialog till data is loaded - asp.net-mvc

I have 2 div one to load data from an ajax request and another to display Jquery dialog with gif image which says loading.
The jquery dialog is displayed when the page is requested while the ajax function gets the data from the controller. I want to close the dialog when the ajax function completes the request but not sure hot to do it.
here is the code
Page
<style>
.ui-dialog-titlebar-close{
display: none;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
//define config object
var dialogOpts = {
title:"Retreving Donation Details",
modal: true,
autoOpen: true,
height: 200,
width: 250,
closeOnEscape: false,
resizable: false,
};
$("#ajaxload").dialog(dialogOpts); //end dialog
$("#ajaxload").dialog("open");
});
</script>
//jquery dialog
<div id = "ajaxload" style ="display:none; background-color:Green; text-align:center;">
<br />
<img alt="loader" src = "../../Content/loader.gif" id = "loader" height="100" width ="100" style = "margin:auto; text-align:center; vertical-align:middle;" />
</div>
//Div to load data
<div id="dataload"><div>
Thanks in advance

You can close it when the ajax requests stop using the ajaxStop event, like this:
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
$("#ajaxload").dialog("close");
});
When all concurrent jQuery AJAX requests finish, this event fires, and you can hide the dialog then. Another (same effect) format is to bind the event directly, like this:
$("#ajaxload").ajaxStop(function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
});

MVC 5 partial view as jQuery dialog using knockout

I am using knockout to render a page with rows of data. On each row there is a link which should call a controller function which returns a partial view.
knockout script for link is (inside foreach loop)...
<a class="lnkEdit" data-bind="attr: {'href': '#Url.Action("ControllerActionName", new RouteValueDictionary() { { "Controller", "ControllerName" } })/'+ id}">Details</a>
Script section...
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
$("#dialog-edit").dialog({
title: 'Details',
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
position: ['center', 50],
width: 700,
show: { effect: 'drop', direction: "up" },
modal: true,
draggable: true,
open: function (event, ui) {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide();
$(this).load(url);
}
});
$(".lnkEdit").on("click", function (e) {
url = $(this).attr('href');
$("#dialog-edit").dialog('open');
return false;
});
$("#btncancel").on("click", function (e) {
$("#dialog-edit").dialog("close");
return false;
});
ko.applyBindings(new UnitViewModel());
})
My page has div as place holder for dialog...
<div id="dialog-edit" style="display: none">
Problem: When I click on link for details; the controller returns partial view but jquery is not able to generate dialog so the page opens as normal view. What is wrong with this?
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
I'll Check Your code and is working...
just add CSS and JS proper.

Append jQuery UI dialog to its parent

I have the following html:
<ul id="sortable">
<li class="ui-state-default">1
<div class="dialog-modal" title="Animal Facts" style="display:none;">
<p>What is the fastest animal on Earth?</p>
</div>
</li>
<li class="ui-state-default">2
<div class="dialog-modal" title="Animal Facts" style="display:none;">
<p>What is the largest animal on Earth?</p>
</div></li>
​
and the following jQuery code:
$( ".dialog-modal" ).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true
});
$('.ui-state-default').click(function() {
$(this).find("div").dialog( "open" );
});
This does not open the modal dialog on click, what am I missing?
Thanks for the help.
This is a current behavior of the jQuery UI dialog.
When defined the jQuery UI dialog is created and appended to the body.
The workaround solution is to append the dialog to its original parent after the creation like:
$(function () {
$(".dialog-modal").each(function (index) {
var origContainer = $(this).parent();
$(this).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true,
create: function () {
$(this).closest('div.ui-dialog')
.click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
}
}).parent().appendTo(origContainer);
});
$('.ui-state-default').click(function (event) {
$(this).find("div").find(".dialog-modal").dialog("open");
});
});
An important note: look at the create event defined; it's necessary because, the open dialog method executed on the .ui-state-default class elements click is triggered on every click inside the dialog! It's formally correct because now the dialog is contained inside its parent and the click is propagated to the parents with .ui-state-default class. With stopPropagation the problem is solved.
It's a bit hackish, but it works.

With the future version of jQuery UI 1.10.0 will be added the option appendTo, to handle this situation without any workaround http://api.jqueryui.com/dialog/#option-appendTo

jquery ui dialog is creating two dialogs

A screenshot : http://d.pr/i/A4Kv
This is my dialog code:
function popupbox(title,html,buttonTxt,buttonAction) {
var buttons = {};
if(buttonTxt != null) {
buttons[buttonTxt] = buttonAction;
}
buttons['Cancel'] = function() {
jQuery(this).dialog('destroy').remove();
};
var p = jQuery('<form class="dialoginnerbox">' + html + '</form>');
p.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
resizable: false,
modal: false,
width: 'auto',
height: 'auto',
maxHeight: 600,
maxWidth: 980,
title: title,
close: function(event, ui){
jQuery(this).dialog('destroy').remove();
},
buttons: buttons
});
p.dialog('open');
}
Any ideas?
---- UPDATE ----
I swapped out the returning html for some dummy text and that fixed it.. so something with the html that is being put into the popup is making it open twice...
Malformed html and inline script tags cause jquery ui dialog to open multiple dialogs.
With jQueryUI dialogs; jQuery may consider valid html as malformed html in some cases. The reason I say this is I ajax loaded the html for my dialog with valid html and valid html comments. I got double dialog boxes until I removed the html comments from the ajax loaded html. Example...
content.htm
<div id="myDialogContent">Alert!</div><!-- Here is an innocent looking comment -->
dialog.js
$.get( '/content.htm', function( html ){
$( html ).dialog();
});
This would produce a double dialog. If the html begins or ends with an html comment, the same dialog issue occurs. The only way around is to either remove the html comment or wrap the html text in another html tag like so...
dialog.js
$.get( '/content.htm', function( html ){
$( '<div>'+html+'</div>' ).dialog();
});
This would produce one dialog.
function display_dialog() { if($('.dialog_wrapper').length) {
return;
}
$('<div class="dialog_wrapper"</div>').dialog({
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
A workaround for this problem is to use a counter:
var count = 0;
var $dialog = $('<div></div>') .dialog({ ...
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
height: 625,
width: 500,
title: pagetitle
...
});
if (count > 0) {
$dialog.dialog("destroy").remove();
count = 0;
}
$dialog.dialog('open');
count++;
worked for me... for the dialog issue, but i am getting multiple requests on the server ...
something like that: when i click for the first time on the link, it sends on information to the server. When i click for the second time (without refreshing the browser) it sends the same information twice. When i click for the third time, three requests are sent to the server, and so on...
If you wrap your html in a single tag, it may clean it up.
The inclusion of divs inside the html may cause a dialog for each one unless there's a layer above:
This didn't work for me:
<hr /> blah blah blah
<h3>blahblahtitle</h3>
<div id=somestufffirst>here's the stuff</div>
<div id=someotherstuff>here's some more stuff</div>
But this did:
<div>
<hr /> blah blah blah
<h3>blahblahtitle</h3>
<div id=somestufffirst>here's the stuff</div>
<div id=someotherstuff>here's some more stuff</div>
</div>

MVC 2 - Display a jquery dialog that contains a partial view

Okay, so I'm trying to display a dialog, and the contents of that dialog is from a partial view, _TestPartial.
Here is the partial view:
<%# Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<div id="test" title="Basic dialog">
<p>This is just a test</p>
</div>
Now, if I put the test div in my .aspx that is displaying the dialog, it will show just fine. Or if I call the partial right from my page it will show 'This is just a test' just fine. I just have no idea how to make a jquery dialog display a partial. I've tried a few things, such as having my dialog call an Action, TestAction, which renders the _TestPartial, but that doesnt even work. I have a feeling I'm missing a key piece of code somewhere tho. Here is my dialog code(its called automatically based on a select list choice):
if ($('#SelectListID option:selected').text() == 'Test') {
$('#test').dialog({
width: 400,
resizable: false,
title: 'Test dialog',
open: function(event, ui) {
$(this).load("#Url.Action('TestAction')");
},
buttons: {
"Close": function (){
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
}
I remember having a similar problem before. We added a dialog container and then loaded the partial view in an inner div.
<div id="dialogcontainer">
<div id="dialogcontent"></div>
</div>
$("#dialogcontainer").dialog({
width: 400,
resizable: false,
title: 'Test dialog',
open: function(event, ui) {
$("#dialogcontent").load("#Url.Action('TestAction')");
},
buttons: {
"Close": function (){
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});

Jquery and Coldfusion Loops

If you are calling a modal dialog box in jquery, but have the image file location in an array, how would you call this dialog box where if they clicked the link, the image would pop up? Right now, because of a loop it is obviously only using the last file name.
function showDialog(){
$("#image_viewer").html('<iframe id="modalIframeId" width="100%" height="100%" marginWidth="0" marginHeight="0" frameBorder="0" scrolling="auto" />').dialog("open");
$("#modalIframeId").attr("src","image_view.cfm");
return false;
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#image_viewer").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
height: 800,
width: 600
});
});
You're trying to use an iframe as a modal dialog, you should just use a DIV.
<!--- HTML --->
<div id="imageDialog" class="dialog" style="display:none;"></div>
Then you can output a list of links to your images like this:
<!--- CFML --->
<cfoutput query="qImages">
#qImages.label#<br />
</cfoutput>
Finally, you can open the URL for the image directly into the modal dialog using a bit of class trickery.
<!--- jQuery --->
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.dialog').dialog(
{
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 440,
height: 330,
title: "Image Viewer"
}
);
$('a.image').click(function(e){
$('#imageDialog').load( $(this).attr('href') ).dialog("open");
e.preventDefault();
});
});
