I want to close a Simplemodal window from a JavaScript function that gets called automatically after a form is submitted and the results recived (AJAX), using ASP.Net MVC. How do I close a jQuery Simplemodal?
I've opened it this way:
$("#popup").modal()
You have 2 options:
1) Put the close class (simplemodal-close) on an element in your modal data and SimpleModal will automatically bind the close function to the click event on that element.
Taking the example above, you'd want:
<div id="foo" style="display:none">
<p>Form HTML</p>
<span class="simplemodal-close">Close</span>
</div>
2) When you want to close the dialog programatically, call:
$.modal.close();
HTH!

Just call close.
$("#popup").close();
If you're doing it for an ajax completion you need to add a callback. You may want to check for failure.
var foo = $("#popup").modal();
$.ajax({url:url, success:function(){
foo.close();
}});
If none of the above solutions work, you can also try to trigger the click event of the close button (so long as it is placed inside the popup element).
$( ".simplemodal-close" ).trigger( "click" );
or failing that, with Javascript.
document.getElementById('closeModalButton').click();
$.modal.close();
or you can use following command
setTimeout('goto_previous_page()', 1000);
