Hope this helps,

I am using a modal Dialog to allow users to send a message. The whole thing works beautifully. But I want to automatically close the dialog box once the message has been posted.

I have this code:
success: function(msg) {
$(this).dialog(‘close’);
},

But the dialog box just doesnt close. But if I put any other code there, it gets executed. I tried FireBug, but it keeps going into to jQueryUI scripts and those are never ending.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

At first, implementing the example of the previous post I thought I wrote something wrong, so I decided to move on this second example and use the downloaded code, but the image indicator was still not displayed.

I changed blockUI plugin to version 2.09 and problem solved. I’m in my first steps with js/jQuery so I can’t see why this is happening.

Is it possible that you could use a web service or page method call instead? That would be a lot easier to manage from within the modal.

I’m experimenting with your example and added a second button as follows:

What I would like is when this other button is pressed, its server-side event fires and then the dialog box fades away as with Close. Here’s the extra jQuery code I added:

$(‘#Button1′).click(function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();

$(‘#EntryForm’).unblock({
onUnblock: function() {
$(‘#ConfirmSave’).remove();
}
});
});

But when I tried this, pressing “Test” caused an entire postback. Yet if I remove UseSubmitBehavior=”false” then the server-side event does not fire.

What should I do?

I have a similar problem I believe, and it seems you’ve done enough work in this area to point me in the right direction.

Basically, I want to display a lightbox after an asp.net-ajax call inside my updatepanel. In my first application, it will be from a navigation button on an asp:wizard control. As that control posts back, some business logic runs to validate some of the users’ selections. If things are fine, we just advance to the next step. If not, I want to use some lightbox to display a message.

I’ve detailed my efforts so far here:

Thanks!

The call to the __doPostback function doesn’t work.

Solved inserting a timeout in the OnClientClick event:

setTimeout(‘BlockPage()’,10);return true;

LinkButton Code:

Matt Berseth has a good post on how to use a different jQuery plugin to do what you’re after: http://mattberseth.com/blog/2008/06/masterdetail_with_the_gridview_1.html.

I went a little crazier with blockui and put an updatepanel with detailsview in it. So it works like a master/details modal display. It works a great with displaying the data, however if you try to implement edit and update functionality, async postbacks do fire up but they don’t include any parameters from textboxes in the post. Therefore nothing gets updated. I’ve been looking around for the whole day I can’t find any info on that, do you have any ideas?

Thanks,

I solved the issue by ensuring that my link button’s OnClientClick event had a

__doPostback('" + LinkButton.ClientID + "', '');

attached to it. I add this bit of code to the code that calls the .blockUI() method. After the .blockUI() method is fired off, it’s necessary to ensure that the post back occurs.

This manual call to __doPostBack seems to do the trick.

I got that clue from your post about what happens with the UseSubmitBehavior on regular buttons.

Thanks for all the info and examples. Really great stuff!

I have a LinkButton on my page. I wire up the OnCommand event for that link button to fire off some code in my codebehind. In the Page_Load method, I add an OnClientClick javascript call to that LinkButton that calls the .blockUI() method.

The issue seems is that as soon as .blockUI() is called, I’m experiencing the same issue that Shalan experienced. Since LinkButton’s don’t have the UseSubmitBehavior property, I found that even if I use the OnClick method for the LinkButton and not the OnCommand (which I believe submits the entire form?) I still get the post from the button blocked. Essentially as soon as I click the button, my post back dissapears. I can not debug to the codebehind in my Click event.

Is there something I’m missing here? Is there a default property that stops the .blockUI from catching all requests or posts, that I have to set?

Thanks in advance,
