I have a form in a web page dynamically generated and I would like to display it using a the jQuery UI modal dialog.
The solution I was proposed in a previous post works when my form does not embedded jQuery UI itself : jQuery UI modal dialog form using remote content.
The way the remote form already contains jQuery functions : Autocomplete.
How to solve that problem?
<body>
<div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>software </th>
<th>script</th>
<th>exec_type</th>
<th>run_status</th>
<th>test_result</th>
<th>review_status</th>
<th>priority</th>
<th>author</th>
<th>creation date</th>
<th>update date</th>
<th>edit</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<th>software </th>
<th>script</th>
<th>exec_type</th>
<th>run_status</th>
<th>test_result</th>
<th>review_status</th>
<th>priority</th>
<th>author</th>
<th>creation date</th>
<th>update date</th>
<th>edit</th>
</tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$('td').click( function(){$("#formContainer").load("myform.html", function() {
var container = $(this);
container.dialog({
modal: true
})
.find("form").submit(function() {
container.dialog("close");
return false;
});
});
})
;
</script>
</body>
form.html looks like that:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
(function($) {
$.widget("ui.combobox", {
_create: function() {
var self = this;
var select = this.element.hide();
var input = $("<input>")
.insertAfter(select)
.autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
var matcher = new RegExp(request.term, "i");
response(select.children("option").map(function() {
var text = $(this).text();
if (this.value && (!request.term || matcher.test(text)))
return {
id: this.value,
label: text.replace(new RegExp("(?![^&;]+;)(?!<[^<>]*)(" + $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term) + ")(?![^<>]*>)(?![^&;]+;)", "gi"), "<strong>$1</strong>"),
value: text
};
}));
},
delay: 0,
change: function(event, ui) {
if (!ui.item) {
// remove invalid value, as it didn't match anything
$(this).val("");
return false;
}
select.val(ui.item.id);
self._trigger("selected", event, {
item: select.find("[value='" + ui.item.id + "']")
});
},
minLength: 0
})
.addClass("ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-left");
// This line added to set default value of the combobox
input.val(jQuery("#"+select.attr("id")+" :selected").text() )
$("<button> </button>")
.attr("tabIndex", -1)
.attr("title", "Show All Items")
.insertAfter(input)
.button({
icons: {
primary: "ui-icon-triangle-1-s"
},
text: false
}).removeClass("ui-corner-all")
.addClass("ui-corner-right ui-button-icon")
.click(function() {
// close if already visible
if (input.autocomplete("widget").is(":visible")) {
input.autocomplete("close");
return false;
}
// pass empty string as value to search for, displaying all results
input.autocomplete("search", "");
input.focus();
return false
});
}
});
})(jQuery);
$(function() {
$("#id_software").combobox();
$("#id_script").combobox();
});
</script>
