Basically I am showing and hiding the Dialog manually via positioning so something like 'swfupload' works (dont ask hehe, the multi-upload flash control i use cannot be hidden or Flash does something funky... so I am using positioning to show/hide the Dialog).

So i set autoOpen: to true so when the page loads its not prehidden... and I just use jquery css to hide it with positioning and then hide its overlay with display:none; (versus a css file since i need to override style="" elements) ... and now i want to hide it...

but the Dialog auto-created close button automatically calls its own close functionality and sets 'display: none'. I want to override this to do my positioning ...

Any idea how to reassign it? I was thinking of somehow unbinding the click event on it and reassigning it. i dunno what is best way really to do it.

Thanks for any ideas :)

A: 

You can bind to the close event and do your logic in there:

$('#dialogID')
        .dialog({ 
            autoOpen: true
        }).bind('dialogclose', function(event, ui) { /* Do position logic here */ });

I didn't test this code so not sure if you will manually have to call close in order to hide the dialog. If so just add in this line:

$('#dialogID').dialog("close");

Also remember that this close function will be called if the 'X' in the upper right corner of the dialog is clicked as well.

This kinda helped me get on track:

i did: my html:

<body>  
  <div id="popup">
    Please upload the files you want associated with this payment below:
    <span id="dialog_file_upload_btn"></span>
  </div>

  <div>
    <a id="attach_1" href="#" class="upload_file">Attach</a>
    ....
    <a id="attach_2" href="#" class="upload_file">Attach</a>
    ...
    <a id="attach_3" href="#" class="upload_file">Attach</a>
  </div>
</body>  

my css:

  .ui-widget-overlay{ 
    display: none;  
  }
  .ui-dialog{ /*need to override style="" with jquery. this is just for reference */
    top: -5000px;  
  } 

my js:

function closeDialog(){
  $('.ui-dialog').css('top', -5000);
  $('.ui-widget-overlay').css('display','none');
}

var swfu;
var dialog;
var orig_top_css;

$(document).ready (function()
{


    dialog = $('#popup').dialog({
      closeOnEscape: false,
      modal: true,
      title: 'Upload File(s) related to this row'

    }).bind('dialogbeforeclose', function(event, ui) { 
      closeDialog();
      return false;
    });

    orig_top_css = $('.ui-dialog').css('top'); //get after dialog created, possibly see if oncomplete function. but this stores origial 'centered' value


    var settings =
    {
        flash_url: 'scripts/swfupload/Flash/swfupload.swf?'+Math.random(),
        ...

      upload_success_handler: function() { console.log ('success'); alert('You have successfully uploaded the file(s).'); dialog.dialog('close'); }, //catches close and doesnt really close in my dialogbeforeclose event
      upload_progress_handler: function(file, complete, total) { console.log ('progress' + file + " " + complete + " " + total); }

      ,prevent_swf_caching : true
      ,post_params: {payment_id: 'value1'}

    };

    swfu = new SWFUpload (settings);

    $('.upload_file').click(function() {                              
      orig_top_css_wopx = parseInt( orig_top_css.replace('px','') ,10);

      $('.ui-dialog').css('top', orig_top_css_wopx);
      $('.ui-widget-overlay').css('display','block');

      // prevent the default action, e.g., following a link
      return false;
    });


     $('.ui-dialog').css('top', -5000); //hide the dialog when the page loads, the popup also is hidden via css
});

Just need to add setPostParams to customize upload for each row and a progress bar and I'll be set :).

I replaced my click function with something like so to get setPostParams working:

  $('.upload_file').click(function() {                              
      orig_top_css_wopx = parseInt( orig_top_css.replace('px','') ,10);

      $('.ui-dialog').css('top', orig_top_css_wopx);
      $('.ui-widget-overlay').css('display','block');


      var row_id = $(this).attr('id').replace('attach_','');          
      row_id = parseInt(row_id,10);          

      //alert(row_id);

      if(row_id && row_id > 0) {
        swfu.setPostParams({row_id_key: row_id}); //think this should dynamically set the post param
      } else { 
        alert('Error getting id'); 
      }

      // prevent the default action, e.g., following a link
      return false;
    });

and my bind event to reset the customparam:

.bind('dialogbeforeclose', function(event, ui) { 
          closeDialog();
          swfu.setPostParams({});
          return false;
        });

and to get progress working, i added handlers.js and fileprogress.js to my page (from their simpledemo example). then changed the callbacks to their settings:

  custom_settings : {
    progressTarget : "fsUploadProgress",
    cancelButtonId : "btnCancel"
  },
  file_queued_handler : fileQueued,
  file_queue_error_handler : fileQueueError,
  file_dialog_complete_handler : fileDialogComplete,
  upload_start_handler : uploadStart,
  upload_progress_handler : uploadProgress,
  upload_error_handler : uploadError,
  upload_success_handler : uploadSuccess,
  upload_complete_handler : uploadComplete,
  queue_complete_handler : queueComplete    // Queue plugin event

and added the html to get that to work:

<div id="popup">
  Please upload the files you want associated with this row below:
  <span id="dialog_file_upload_btn"></span>

  <input id="btnCancel" type="button" value="Cancel All Uploads" onclick="swfu.cancelQueue();" disabled="disabled" style="margin-left: 2px; font-size: 8pt; height: 29px;" />
    <div class="fieldset flash" id="fsUploadProgress">
            <span class="legend">Upload Queue</span>
  </div>
    <div id="divStatus">0 Files Uploaded</div>
</div>
