jQuery: Load Modal Dialog Contents via Ajax
Currently my Modal Dialog is like this
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.5/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.5/themes/humanity/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="dialog" title="Title Box">
<p>Stuff here</p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(
function() {
jQuery("#dialog")
.dialog(
{
bgiframe: true,
autoOpen: false,
height: 100,
modal: true
}
);
jQuery('body')
.bind(
'click',
function(e){
if(
jQuery('#dialog').dialog('isOpen')
&& !jQuery(e.target).is('.ui-dialog, a')
&& !jQuery(e.target).closest('.ui-dialog').length
){
jQuery('#dialog').dialog('close');
}
}
);
}
);
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="jQuery('#dialog').dialog('open'); return false">Click to view</a>
</body>
</html>
The Div that is loaded is included in the same page. How do I move that div to a second page and load the contents via Ajax when the dialog is shown? And can I reuse the script to load different contents as per need?

Check out this blog post from Nemikor, which should do what you want.

Basically, before calling 'open', you 'load' the content from the other page first.
jQuery('#dialog').load('path to my page').dialog('open');
