I am looking to create a system which on signup will create a subdomain on my website for the users account area.
This won't work because of the way jQuery handles the button name (can be with or without quotes)
ReplyDeleteThis will work:
var button_name = 'Test';
var dialog_buttons = {};
dialog_buttons[button_name] = function(){ closeInstanceForm(Function); }
dialog_buttons['Cancel'] = function(){ $(this).dialog('close'); }
$('#instanceDialog').dialog({ buttons: dialog_buttons });
The problem here is that the dialog plugin does not assign an id to its buttons, so it's quite difficult to modify them directly.
ReplyDeleteInstead, initialise the dialog as normal, locate the button by the text it contains and add an id. The button can then be accessed directly to change the text, formatting, enable/disable it, etc.
$("#dialog_box").dialog({
buttons: {
'ButtonA': function() {
//... configure the button's function
}
});
$('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:contains(ButtonA)').attr("id","dialog_box_send-button");
$('#dialog_box_send-button').html('Send')
What you can do is assign the button in the dialog an ID and then manipulate it using standard jQuery.
ReplyDelete$("#dialog_box").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
resizable: false,
buttons: [{
text: "Ok",
"id": "btnOk",
click: function () {
//okCallback();
},
}, {
text: "Cancel",
click: function () {
//cancelCallback();
},
}],
close: function () {
//do something
}
});
Set button text
$("#btnOk").val("new label");
var buttonName = "something";
ReplyDelete$('#button-id').attr('value', buttonName);
This will work
ReplyDelete$($("button", $("#dialogId").parent())[NUMBER_OF_YOUR_BUTTON]).text("My Text");
And don't forget
ReplyDelete$($("button", $(".info_dialog").parent())[1]).html("<span class='ui-button-text'>Button text here.</span>");
Maybe I'm missing the point - but wouldn't the easiest way be to use the setter?
ReplyDelete$("#dialog_box").dialog({
buttons: {
[
text:"OK",
click: function() {
//... configure the button's function
}
]
});
$("#dialog_box").dialog("option", "buttons", { "Close": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); } });
assign a class to the button. The button text will be in a span with a class called ui-button-text inside your defined class.
ReplyDeleteSo if you give your button the class .contacts-dialog-search-button then the code to access the text will be:
$('.ui-button-text','.contacts-dialog-search-button').text();
here is the code I'm using for my current projects buttons, to give you an example.
buttons : [
{
text : 'Advanced Search',
click : function(){
if($(this).dialog("option", "width")==290){
$('#contacts-dialog-search').show();
$(this).dialog("option", "width", 580);
$('.ui-button-text','.contacts-dialog-search-button').text('Close Search');
}
else{
$('#contacts-dialog-search').hide();
$(this).dialog("option", "width", 290);
$('.ui-button-text','.contacts-dialog-search-button').text('Advanced Search');
}
},
"class" : "contacts-dialog-search-button"
}
]
Yes completely possible with inline behaviour:
ReplyDeleteCreate Dialog class with two setter method, setYesButtonName() and setNoButtonName.
function ConfirmDialog() {
var yesButtonName = "Yes";
var noButtonName = "No";
this.showMessage = function(message, callback, argument) {
var $dialog = $('<div></div>')
.html(message)
.dialog({
modal: true,
closeOnEscape: true,
buttons: [
{
text:yesButtonName,
click: function() {
if (callback && typeof(callback) === "function") {
if (argument == 'undefined') {
callback();
} else {
callback(argument);
}
} else {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
},
{
text:noButtonName,
click: function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
]
});
$dialog.dialog("open");
};
this.setYesButtonName = function(name) {
yesButtonName = name;
return this;
};
this.setNoButtonName = function(name) {
noButtonName = name;
return this;
};
}
Create Object of ConfirmDialog class.
this.CONFIRM_DIALOG = new ConfirmDialog();
Call method on any event, let's say onclick()
OK_DIALOG.setYesButtonName('Wana Marry').showMessage('Worst Idea!!');
Job Done!!
