Closing a window after submit

[Atta]

I have a main grid, grid1, and another grid, grid2, that is opened by a button on grid1.

After people have submitted the information that they entered in grid2, and click on submit, and want to close grid2.

How can I do that.

replace grid 2 with a dialog which makes it easy

Select your Target page (under Customization) from Update Settings.

Would this help? Read through the entire post - it starts out talking about an embedded grid... but it's really a grid in a pop-up window... like yours?

Re: Closing a window after submit

Thanks guys for all of the input, but this is a grid in a div not a popup window.

So the statement does not work

if(e.hasErrors == false) {
{grid.object}.closeParentContainer();
}

Re: Closing a window after submit

if your grid1 is contained in an .A5W page, this might offer the help you need: You need to ask the parent to do the closing.
See the part about window.parent.closeParentA5Window('WINDOWX');

Re: Closing a window after submit

Now that we know the grid is within a div... and I'll bet that div has an id, you can use one of two methods...

From w3schools.com...

Hiding an element can be done by setting the display property to "none" or the visibility property to "hidden". However, notice that these two methods produce different results:
visibility:hidden hides an element, but it will still take up the same space as before. The element will be hidden, but still affect the layout.

$('divId').style.visibility = 'hidden';

or

$('divId').style.display = 'none';

This is the code I have in the 2nd grid $('ADDNOTES').style.display = 'none';, I have this in the Client-side Events in the afterGridSubmit.

This is what I have in the grid1 : <div id="ADDNOTES" style="border:1 px solid black;"></div>

The div does not close when I click on the submit button, so what am I doing wrong.

Dave,

Do you know of an equivalent way to close a dialog pop-up after the submit button is pressed? The dialog window is triggered by the "New Record" button from a grid.

The dialog client side events don't seem to have anything like 'afterGridSubmit' that I can see.

I tried using the code below in the javascript for OnClick for the Submit button - but that second line broke the component.

{dialog.object}.submit()
{dialog.object}.closeParentContainer(this);

Any thoughts?

So... is the DIV ID for GRID2 "ADDNOTES"?

Bill_from_jpt,

For closing modal GRID popup called via a Dialog2, the technique here http://www.ajaxvideotutorials.com/V1..._AutoClose.swf from video 54 kind-of works for me It doesn't work when calling an A5w page, though. I don't know if it works when calling another Dialog2.

I am actually doing this in just a test app and my Dialog2 component has 4 buttons on it that call the same grid component, but they set different values for some session variables. I am stuck on trying to get the popup grid to fully re-initialized when called from the various different buttons. After I open the grid via a second button then I cannot open the grid again using the first button. Well the grid does open, but it does not fire the same Javascript events as it did the first time and I cannot get the grid initialized the way I want.
