Greg -
In order to open the dialog, you simply need to initially define your
dialog in your JSP. I prefer to use dynamic invocation of my dialogs,
especially in the scenario where I need to pass dynamic values such as
URL parameters to the dialog in the event I am editing multiple records,
say in a table or grid.
1. Define your dialog in your JSP like:
<sj:dialog id="myDialog" autOpen="false" modal="true" width="525"
position="[150,250]" onCloseTopics="myDialogClosed"
onCompleteTopics="myDialogOpened" resizable="false" />
I have my dialog defined to not auto open, be modal when invoked, and to
be positioned at a given location and to fire a few topics based on some
dialog events.
2. Bind a click event to something to invoke your dialog
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$("#myid").click(function(event,data) {
var url = "build my url here";
$("#myDialog").load(url, function() {
$(this).dialog("open");
});
return false;
});
});
When the DOM is ready, I tie a click event to a DOM element. I build my
URL when the user clicks the element and pass that URL to my dialog to
be loaded. When the dialog has loaded the URL content, I then invoke
the dialog open to render the screen. If your content you need to show
can be built inside the <sj:dialog/> tags when you initially render the
page and doesn't need to be remote/dynamic called, you can do that and
simply call change the above function to:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$("#myid").click(function(event,data) {
$("#myDialog").dialog("open");
});
});
3. Setup your form and tie a click event to your submit button
When you click the button, you make an AJAX call to the server to submit
your data. If you get a successful result, you can then call
$("#myDialog").dialog("close") to close the dialog window and if you get
an error, you can then overlay another dialog to display the error or
set a div in your form you rendered in the dialog with the error
message.
Inevitability it boils down to a number of topic publish/subscribe
events you need to handle.
Any questions, hit me up off list.
