Scripty2 : how to close dialog - jquery-ui

I am looking for a way to close a scripty2 dialog like this :
http://mir.aculo.us/stuff/scripty2-ui/test/functional/controls_dialog.html
From outside of the dialog (i.e. with firebug command line) but my javascript mojo is a bit limited and after 30 min of going around the DOM I cannot find a way. Any hints ?
NB : scripty2 is a rewrite of script.aculo.us which uses bits of Jquery UI.

Scripty2 UI bits are really based on Prototype classes, not extensions to DOM elements, so you can't use $$() to fetch an existing dialog and close it like you might think. It must be stored in a javascript variable.
var dialog = new S2.UI.Dialog({ // The class must be saved in a
variable
content: "Consulting the server. Please wait."
});
dialog.open(); // We open
new Ajax.Request('/answers', {
onComplete: function(){
alert("Done!");
dialog.close(); // And close.
}
});
Try pasting these into Firebug:
var dialog = new S2.UI.Dialog({content: "Hello World"});
dialog.open();
dialog.close();

This is the documentation for the dialog box :
http://scripty2.com/doc/scripty2%20ui/s2/ui/dialog.html

To close all the dialogs (elements with class div.ui-dialog) on the page with no ids code would be something like this (untested):
$$('div.ui-dialog').each(function() {this.close();});

Is it possible to add buttons and control its event to toolbar of inappbrowser using javascript...?

I am developing a Hybrid App for iOS and Android using PhoneGap.Is it possible to add buttons and control its event to toolbar of inappbrowser using javascript.I know how to add it through ios native side but i cant use that process.I need to control the button event through a javascript method.
You have two options to do that.
The first option is, obviously, to patch the native plugin code, and that's it. Here you can find an example made for iOS, you will have to do the same to your Android Java code and for every other platform you want to support.
Another option is to hide the native toolbar and inject HTML and CSS to create a new one when the page is loaded.
Something like this:
// starting inappbrowser...
inAppWindow = window.open(URL_TO_LOAD, '_blank', 'location=no');
// Listen to the events, we need to know when the page is completely loaded
inAppWindow.addEventListener('loadstop', function () {
code = CustomHeader.html();
// Inject your JS code!
inAppWindow.executeScript({
code: code
}, function () {
console.log("injected (callback).");
});
// Inject CSS!
inAppWindow.insertCSS({
code: CustomHeader.css
}, function () {
console.log("CSS inserted!");
});
And you will have obviously to define the CustomHeader object, something like this:
var CustomHeader = {
css: '#customheader { your css here }',
html: function() {
var code = 'var div = document.createElement("div");\
div.id = "customheader";\
// Insert it just after the body tag
if (document.body.firstChild){ document.body.insertBefore(div, document.body.firstChild); } \
else { document.body.appendChild(div); }';
return code;
}
};
I had experience with this problem.
For my case, the second option was enough, not a critical task. Sometimes it takes a lot for the loadstop event to fire, and so you don't see the injected bar for >= 5 seconds.
And you have to pay attention even on the CSS of the loaded page, because obviously you can affect the original CSS, or the original CSS can affect the style of your toolbar.

Using HTML in a Dialog's title in jQuery UI 1.10

http://jqueryui.com/upgrade-guide/1.10/#changed-title-option-from-html-to-text
jQuery UI 1.10 made it so that the dialog title can only be text (no html) to prevent scripting vulnerabilities. I'm not allowing user input to generate this title, so I would still like to use HTML, mainly to display an icon to the left of the title.
I'm going to post my solution to this problem because I haven't seen anyone else ask or answer this yet. Hopefully it will help someone else, or someone else may have a better approach.
More info as to why they did it: http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/6016
This will override the function used when setting jQuery UI dialog titles, allowing it to contain HTML.
$.widget("ui.dialog", $.extend({}, $.ui.dialog.prototype, {
_title: function(title) {
if (!this.options.title ) {
title.html(" ");
} else {
title.html(this.options.title);
}
}
}));
If you hesitate to override jQuery's _title method, you can use the html, append, or similar methods on the title element at the jQuery dialog's open event, like so:
$("#element").dialog({
open: function() {
$(this).find("span.ui-dialog-title").append("<span class='title'>" + subtitle + "</span>");
}
});
The above parses the HTML correctly while bypassing jQuery's title method. And since it happens at the open event, the user experience remains seamless. Just did this on a project, and it worked beautifully.
This will modify the title after init the dialog
$('#element').dialog(options);
var dialogTitle = $('#element').closest('.ui-dialog').find('.ui-dialog-title');
dialogTitle.html('<strong>hello world</strong>');

Chosen not working in jquery dialog on reloading mvc partial

I am loading two MVC Partial Views in jQuery UI dialog using following code for editing and adding a record:
$.get(url, function(data)
{
dialogDiv.html(data);
var $form = $(formid);
$form.unbind();
$form.data("validator", null);
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse(document);
var dat = $form.data("unobtrusiveValidation");
var opts = dat ? dat.options || '' : '';
$form.validate(opts);
//THIS FUNCTION ADDS PLUGINS ETC.
runEditCreateStartScripts();
dialogDiv.dialog('open');
});
Following is the function that wires-up chosen functionality.
function runEditCreateStartScripts(){
$("select.chzn-select").chosen(
{
no_results_text: "no match",
allow_single_deselect: true
});
}
Everything is perfect on first call. After opening one dialog say edit a few times everything is broken. There is only hyperlink available in place of chosen stuff. This also happens if I open one dialog say add and then second dialog. The bindings and other functionality from first one (add) is gone.
Any insights on why this might be happening?
The problem that caused my issue was that the modals I was loading via AJAX had inputs with the SAME ID as an input field that was already on the page (using Django that has generic ID generators for model fields). This caused collision between the two inputs when re-triggering .chosen() on the selector. When I made the ID fields unique, all worked as expected.
Hope this would have helped.

JQM - Inject dynamic content at load time only

I'm trying to dynamically populate a select tag at load time (latest jQM version) using a custom template filling function.
If the fn is called in the "pagebeforechange" event, the select tag is properly initialized. Since this event is called on every page transition, I thought of moving the fn to the 'pageinit' event. This does not work, presumably because the DOM is not yet fully available. How can I coerce jQM to inject content in a page only once? Currently, I am using a kludge. There surely must be a smarter way. Thanks for any suggestions.
$(document).bind('pageinit', function () {
InitSelTagTest("#selActTag", "tplTag"); // Does not work.
});
$(document).bind("pagebeforechange", function (e, data) {
if ($("#selActTag").children().size() === 0) {
InitSelTagTest("#selActTag", "tplTag"); // Kludge, but it works
}
});
function InitSelTagTest(el,tpl) { // Append all tags to element el
var lstAllTags = JSON.parse($("#hidTag").val()); // Create tag array
// Retrieve html content from template.
var cbeg = "//<![" + "CDATA[", cend = "//]" + "]>";
var rslt = tmpl(tpl, { ddd: lstAllTags }).replace(cbeg, ").replace(cend,");
$(el).html(rslt).trigger("create"); // Add to DOM.
}
EDIT
In response to Shenaniganz' comment, it seems that the "pagebeforecreate" event could do the trick ie.
$("#pgAct").live("pagebeforecreate", function () {
// Populate tag select. Works. Traversed only once.
InitSelTag("#selActTag", "tplTag");
});
I'm not sure I fully understand your question but I'll throw a few things out there and you let me know if I can extend further.
To make something trigger only once on page load you can try to implement a regular JQuery $(document).ready(function(){}) aka $(function(){}) for the exact reason why JQuery Mobile users are told not to use it. It triggers only once on DOM load. Further pages don't trigger it because they're being switched via Ajax.
Other than that, on regular dynamic content loading you take a look at the following example I put together for someone else earlier:

Setting dialog overlay Jquery

I want to set the overlay of a jQuery dialog to an image, and can't seem to manage the task.
I have other dialogs on the pages that I want to no have the background images, so setting the css for the overlay background won't work as a blanket solution.
I have tried a lot of different methods, and I believe there is a timing issue with the appliction of the jQuery command to set the overlay with css and the actual dialog div's and css getting added to the DOM.
Here is what I have tried so far.
$('#submitUpload').click(function(){
$("#uploadStart").dialog('open');
$(".ui-widget-overlay").css({'background-image': 'url("http://www.mydomain.com/images/ftp-page-bg.gif")','opacity':'1'})
$("#uploadForm").submit();
});
OR
$("#uploadStart").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 400,
modal: true,
closeOnEscape: false,
draggable: false,
resizable: false,
open: function(event, ui) {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide();
$(".ui-widget-overlay").css({'background-image': 'url("http://www.mydomain.com/images/ftp-page-bg.gif")','opacity':'1'})
}
});
I have also tried using the dialogClass method on the dialog code with no success.
With both the absolute url and the relative, and the url in quotes or with no quotes.
The image exists in the directory.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get jQuery to apply with the correct timing to display the image as the overlay?
Thanks!
Update
The dialog class designation will allow you to set classes for the overal dialog. I was actually looking to just tap into the specific ui-widget-overlay class and over-ride the background image there. I found that trying to override the background using the dialogClass worked for overriding the background of the dialog, not the overlay background.
When the dialog is added to the DOM, jQuery loads it's div's right before the body tag.
I found a solution, being that in the open method for the dialog, I used
$(".ui-widget-overlay").addClass('artFTP');
to add a class
.artFTP{background-image: url(../../images/ftp-page-bg.gif); opacity:1;}
and made sure it was the last class in the file that would overwrite the overlay background image.
I hope this helps someone.
Thanks and +1 to jjross, your answer got me to jump back into the jQuery docs.
If anyone has a better solution, please post. I would be happy to see it. I think there might be a way to use CSS to accomplish the task, but (for the life of me) couldn't figure it out.
You should be able to add the class to the div in your HTML code prior to jquery being called on it. In my testing, this automatically added that class to the dialog when it was created.
In the new class, you should be able to specify a background image.
For example:
calling:
$("#dialog").dialog();
on
<div id="dialog" class="thisClass" title="Edit Case Status">
<div>some stuff</div>
</div>
causes the dialog to be created with the
"thisClass" class.
as an alternative option, it looks like the dialog has a "dialogClass" method. It will let you add your own class to the dialog (in that class, you can define the background). From the docs:
The specified class name(s) will be added to the dialog, for additional theming.
Code examples
Initialize a dialog with the dialogClass option specified.
$( ".selector" ).dialog({ dialogClass: 'alert' });
Get or set the dialogClass option, after init.
//getter
var dialogClass = $( ".selector" ).dialog( "option", "dialogClass" );
//setter
$( ".selector" ).dialog( "option", "dialogClass", 'alert' );
I encountered the same problem and found In this case your question. I didn't find any solution that could satisfy me, so I did something on my own.
First, let me introduce my problem.
I have a page, where I have two kinds of dialogs. Dialogs with video and dialogs with message (like alert, confirmation, error etc.). As we know, we can set a different class for a dialog, but we can't set class for different overlay. So question was, how to set a different behavior for different overlays?
So I dig, I dig deeper than Dwarves in Moria into jQuery ui code itself. I found out, that actualy there is an unique overlay for each dialog. And it is created in "private" function _createOverlay which is not accessible. In fact, I found function via jquery ui namespace as $.ui.dialog.prototype._createOverlay. So I was able to make a small extension with logic based on class:
(function() {
// memorize old function
var originFn = $.ui.dialog.prototype._createOverlay;
// make new function
$.ui.dialog.prototype._createOverlay = function() {
originFn.call(this); // call old one
// write your own extension code there
if (this.options["dialogClass"] === "video-dialog") {
var overlay = this.overlay; // memorize overlay (it is in old function call as this.overlay)
var that = this; // just cause bind is event
// my own extenstion, when you click anywhere on overlay, dialog is closed + I change css
overlay.bind('click', function() {
that.close(); // it is same like element.dialog('close');
}).css({
"background": "none",
"background-image": "url(\'files/main-page/profile1.png\')" // this didnt work for you, but works for me... maybe I have newer version of jQuery.UI
// anyway, once you have overlay as variable, Im sure you will be able to change its css
});
}
};
})();
I hope this will help others :)
