So I currently have a jQuery dialog with two buttons: Save and Close. I create the dialog using the code below:
$dialogDiv.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 600,
resizable: false,
buttons: {
Cancel: function() {
// Cancel code here
},
'Save': function() {
// Save code here
}
},
close: function() {
// Close code here (incidentally, same as Cancel code)
}
});
However, both buttons are the same color when this code is used. I'd like my Cancel button to be a different color than my Save. Is there a way to do this using some built in jQuery options? I didn't get much help from the documentation.
Note that the Cancel button I'm creating is a pre-defined type, but 'Save' I'm defining myself. Not sure if that will have any bearing on the issue.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
UPDATE: Consensus was that there were two roads to travel here:
I went with the second option, and used the jQuery find() method as I think this is more appropriate than using :first or :first-child b/c the button that I wanted to change wasn't necessarily the first button listed in the markup. Using find, I can just specify the name of the button, and add CSS that way. The code I ended up with is below:
$dialogDiv.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 600,
resizable: false,
buttons: {
Cancel: function() {
// Cancel code here
},
'Save': function() {
// Save code here
}
},
open: function() {
$('.ui-dialog-buttonpane').find('button:contains("Cancel")').addClass('cancelButtonClass');
}
close: function() {
// Close code here (incidentally, same as Cancel code)
}
});
I’m reposting my answer to a similar question because no-one seems to have given it here and it’s much cleaner and neater:
Use the alternative buttons
property syntax:
$dialogDiv.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 600,
resizable: false,
buttons: [
{
text: "Cancel",
"class": 'cancelButtonClass',
click: function() {
// Cancel code here
}
},
{
text: "Save",
"class": 'saveButtonClass',
click: function() {
// Save code here
}
}
],
close: function() {
// Close code here (incidentally, same as Cancel code)
}
});
