I am trying to get this dialog popup form to show up when this link is clicked but it does not work for me. I've been working on this for the past three hours and this is getting too frustrating for me.
Here's my HTML:
<a href="#" id="contactUs">Contact Us</a>
<div id="dialog" title="Contact form">
<p>appear now</p>
</div>
And here's my JavaScript, this is in an external file:
$("#contactUs").click(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
return false;
});
I've used these links, but to no avail for me:
- http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal
- http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#default
Please let me know if have an ideas, much appreciated, thanks.
This HTML is fine:
<a href="#" id="contactUs">Contact Us</a>
<div id="dialog" title="Contact form">
<p>appear now</p>
</div>
You need to initialize the Dialog (not sure if you are doing this):
$(function() {
// this initializes the dialog (and uses some common options that I do)
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen : false, modal : true, show : "blind", hide : "blind"
});
// next add the onclick handler
$("#contactUs").click(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
return false;
});
});
Your problem is on the call for the dialog
If you dont initialize the dialog, you don't have to pass "open" for it to show:
$("#dialog").dialog();
Also, this code needs to be on a $(document).ready();
function or be below the elements for it to work.
Use below Code, It worked for me.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#dialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
title: 'Basic Dialog'
});
$('#contactUs').click(function () {
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
});
});
</script>
It's quite simple, first HTML must be added:
<div id="dialog"></div>
Then, it must be initialized:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery( document ).ready( function() {
jQuery( '#dialog' ).dialog( { 'autoOpen': false } );
});
</script>
After this you can show it by code:
jQuery( '#dialog' ).dialog( 'open' );
You can use the following script. It worked for me
The modal itself consists of a main modal container, a header, a body, and a footer. The footer contains the actions, which in this case is the OK button, the header holds the title and the close button, and the body contains the modal content.
$(function () {
modalPosition();
$(window).resize(function () {
modalPosition();
});
$('.openModal').click(function (e) {
$('.modal, .modal-backdrop').fadeIn('fast');
e.preventDefault();
});
$('.close-modal').click(function (e) {
$('.modal, .modal-backdrop').fadeOut('fast');
});
});
function modalPosition() {
var width = $('.modal').width();
var pageWidth = $(window).width();
var x = (pageWidth / 2) - (width / 2);
$('.modal').css({ left: x + "px" });
}

This code should work fine
$("#dialog").dialog();
