How do I call the showDialog from a asp.net button click event. My page is a contentpage that has a masterpage associated with it.
I have tried the following
<asp:Button ID="ButtonAdd" runat="server" Text="Add"
OnClientClick="showDialog('#addPerson');" />
<asp:Button ID="ButtonAdd" runat="server" Text="Add"
OnClientClick="showDialog(#<%=addPerson.ClientID %>);" />
I am also going to have to call this same function from a gridview template button to modify the record on the dialog.
<script type="text/javascript">
// Used the following example to open the dialog withJquery
var dl;
$(document).ready(function () {
//Adding the event of opening the dialog from the asp.net add button.
//setup edit person dialog
$('#addPerson').dialog({
//Setting up the dialog properties.
show: "blind",
hide: "fold",
resizable: false,
modal: true,
height: 400,
width: 700,
title: "Add New Member",
open: function (type, data) {
$(this).parent().appendTo("form:first");
}
});
//setup edit person dialog
$('#editPerson').dialog({
//Setting up the dialog properties.
show: "blind",
hide: "fold",
resizable: false,
modal: true,
height: 400,
width: 700,
title: "Modify Member",
open: function (type, data) {
$(this).parent().appendTo("form");
}
});
function showDialog(id) {
$('#' + id).dialog("open");
}
// function closeDialog(id) {
// $('#' + id).dialog("close");
// }
//Adding a event handler for the close button that will close the dialog
$("a[id*=ButtonCloseDlg]").click(function (e) {
$("#divDlg").dialog("close");
return false;
});
});
</script>
Tried to call the jquery dialog from a gridview editbutton and get the same error Object doesnt support this property or method?
<input type="submit" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$GridViewMembers$ctl02$Button1" value="Edit" onclick="showDialog('addPerson');" id="ContentPlaceHolder1_GridViewMembers_Button1_0" />
If you don't need to initiate a post back when you press this button, then making the overhead of a server control isn't necesary.
<input id="addButton" type="button" value="Add" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#addButton').click(function()
{
showDialog('#addPerson');
});
});
</script>
If you still need to be able to do a post back, you can conditionally stop the rest of the button actions with a little different code:
<asp:Button ID="buttonAdd" runat="server" Text="Add" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#<%= buttonAdd.ClientID %>').click(function(e)
{
showDialog('#addPerson');
if(/*Some Condition Is Not Met*/)
return false;
});
});
</script>
