Need help with dialog2 javascript

[madtowng]

Hi Everyone,

I created a dialog to make it easy for my client to email requested documents to his clients.

The dialog sends the email, but I can't get it close after the email has been sent.
The code below is in the afterDialogValidate serverside event.

Any help is appreciated.

Gregg

	e.javascript = <<%jcode%
	{dialog.Object}.resetForm(false); 
	{dialog.Object}.closeContainerWindow(this);
	alert('Sent!');
	%jcode%

Have you tried just redirecting the user to your home page?

I haven't.
My cancel button closes the dialog. I want the final action of the send (submit) button to do the same.

Have you looked at this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA729UFQzyY

We're almost there (I think).

 jcode = jcode+crlf()+"window.open('http://a5.kdtrans.info/workingarea/invoice_send.a5w');"

is the code that opens the dialog (It's an action button that does a bunch of other things first.)

Hello all!

I learned a lot from this thread. I also played and re-played the video on closing the form after the submit. However, I am using a Dialog2 and no matter what I have tried, I can't seem to get the Dialog2 to close on submit.

Does anyone have some idea on this?

Charles,

Let me reconnect the computer that has that project on it.
I am pretty sure I got it to work.

I could be wrong but because you are using a non-Alpha method to open your window (window.open) you cannot use an Alpha method to close the window. In your case, just search the Internet for how to close a window opened with window.open. If I recall you have to search for methods that do not prompt the user with Ok/Cancel after you programmatically close the window.

Easiest way is to define a dummy blank span somewhere in your dialog, like <span id='MySpan'></span>

Then at end of your afterDialogValidate, you put:

e.javascript = <<%jcode%
  var ele = $('MySpan');  
  if(ele) {dialog.Object}.closeContainerWindow(ele);	
%jcode%

Cheers.

Thanks Andy. I can't get this to work. I'm not sure where, in the Dialog2 to put the span id syntax.

Thanks again.

Re: Need help with dialog2 javascript

In the onclick event of your grid's button, you define your action javascript to open a dialog. In this builder there is a line that says "Window Title".
You place the span in there like: My Title <span id='MySpan'></span>
The span part is invisible because there is no text within.
