  1. POjquery UI - simple example, what am I doing wrong?
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to put some jquery UI code into an existing asp.net app, and could use a helping hand...</p> <p>I have a button, when a user clicks it, I want to popup a jquery UI dialog with two go/nogo confirmation buttons.</p> <p>This works except, when I click the button, it opens and then immediately closes...as a new jquery user, I am sure I am just missing something simple...</p> <p>Here is the javascript to open the dialog:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" &gt; $(function() { // Cancel Event Dialog Box $('#CancelDialog').dialog({ autoOpen: false, width: 500, buttons: { "Cancel This Event": function() {$(this).dialog("close");}, "Do Not Cancel": function() {$(this).dialog("close");} } }); }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>and here is the code that calls it:</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:Button id="btnCancelMeeting" Text="Cancel Event" runat="server" /&gt; &lt;script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function() { $('#CancelDialog').dialog(); $('#btnCancelMeeting').click(function() {$('#CancelDialog').dialog('open'); }); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;div id="CancelDialog" title="Cancel and Event or Meeting"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cancel this event.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>To recap: I click the button, I get the dialog with the two buttons and message that I want, but it closes by itself about 1 second later...What am I doing wrong?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> OK, now I think I see what is going on...when I click the button, the dialog pops as desired, but then the page is reloading again from the server...which resets the entire page, including clearing the dialog.</p> <p>So what I really want to happen, is mimic this behavior:</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:Button id="btnDelete" Text="Delete Event" runat="server" OnClientClick='javascript:return confirm(&amp;quot;Are you sure you would like to permanently delete this event/meeting? This action cannot be undone.&amp;quot;)' OnClick="btnDelete_Click" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>where the click generates a client-side event, and only if "OK" is chosen, does the page force a reload. Can anyone give the syntax for hanging this queryUI dialog box off of the OnClientClick event?</p>
