Jquery UI dialog does not disappear
- by iamrohitbanga
I am using jquery-ui tabs and dialog functionality.
Each tab has a button on the page which opens a dialog. This works for one of the tabs. However if I go the second tab, the button does not work there. When I come back to the first tab, the dialog does show up but the problem is I notice as I make switches back and forth to the first tab, it keeps on inserting new div's while the old div's have display:none set on them.
I am doing this using JSP. This is how the reusable jsp looks like:
<script>
$(function() {
var formData = null;
$.ajax({
url : "addFormGenerator.html",
success : function(data) {
formData = data;
$("#addFormDialog").html(data);
$("#addFormDialog").dialog({
autoOpen : false,
height : 300,
width : 350,
modal : true,
buttons : {
"Add" : function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel : function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
close : function() {
}
});
}
});
$("#addButton").button().click(function() {
$("#addFormDialog").html(formData);
$("#addFormDialog").dialog("open");
});
});
</script>
<button id="addButton">Click here to Add New</button>
<div id="addFormDialog" title="Add New"></div>
This jsp fragment is included in other jsp pages as well.
I was assuming as I switch between tabs the old button will be garbage collected.
Can you help me understand the problem and fix it?
