I tried this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12617274/4164311. The string "Are you sure about this" just appears in my browser and nothing happens when I click the button.
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Dialog - Modal confirmation</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery-ui.min.css">
<script src="external/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script>
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
buttons : {
"Confirm" : function() {
alert("You have confirmed!");
},
"Cancel" : function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
$("#callConfirm").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="callConfirm">Confirm!</button>
<div id="dialog" title="Confirmation Required">
Are you sure about this?
</div>
</body>
</html>
Screenshot:
Try placing your js codes inside document ready function and it should work.
$(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Confirm": function() {
alert("You have confirmed!");
},
"Cancel": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
$("#callConfirm").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
});
});
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Also, add/change jquery and css includes to:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
