Very nice, ... actually I had it fixed, too.. yesterday at around 1am LOL... it was just a little thing I have overlooked, and that was the
this.msg.appendChild(document.createTextNode(sMsg));
instead of that, I just had to write: this.msg.innerHTML = sMsg; and I also took the img references out.... the '0' threw errors... other than that.... it's awesome and I can not imagine the hours of work you have put into that....  thanks for making it freely available, it's a great help.

With your permission, I am going to implement your solution...  it appears more stable... than my 'hacking'..... lol

This is a very cool tool this xModalDialog.

I have created a similar function for my app. However, even if I have one which works for the whole page like in this demo, I use one more for each fenster.
Mike, without being too demanding that would be great to see this xModalDialog integrated in your library, and if it was with an option for the element to be put over that would be even greater!!
... And if the DIV was dynamically generated, and its content called through an Ajax call depending on another parameter in the function, that would be just awesome!!!

Ok, I stop before giving you a migraine

Hi all,

I have a basic JS question about this script.
I need to change some stuff to have several Modal dialogs in the same page, and to add dynamic content.

When the function

xModalDialog.instances['idMD1'].show();

is called, how can I retrieve the value 'idMD1' inside the show function.
In other words, how can I retrive the ID or the index of the instance which calls the function?

Many thanks,

Thomas

Hi Mike, Thanks a lot!

Hi, I need - again - a bit of help here.
I am now using this function everywhere in my app: when a fenster loads, when I display an alert msg, and now I'd like to use it instead of the JS function confirm.
So if I want this function to return a true or false value , how can I do?
I have a JS file which redirects the links like that:

else if (h.indexOf('DELETE_ENTRY') != -1){
  if (confirm('<?php echo bbnf_write_js($bbnl_103); ?>')){
    top.window.frames['bbn_iframe2'].location='../frames/delete.php'+arguments+'&target='+target+'&h='+h;
  }
  else{
    xModalDialog.instances[target].hide();
  }
}

And for calling the modal dialog I do like this:

xModalDialog.instances['".$_POST['fenster']."'].show('".$content."');

So i'd like to have a function like this:

else if (h.indexOf('DELETE_ENTRY') != -1){
  if (xModalDialog.instances[target].MyConfirm('<?php echo bbnf_write_js($bbnl_103); ?>')){
    top.window.frames['bbn_iframe2'].location='../frames/delete.php'+arguments+'&target='+target+'&h='+h;
  }
  else{
    xModalDialog.instances[target].hide();
  }
}

I'm not sure to be clear, but please help if it's an easy question for you.

Thanks!

Thomas

The demo now has a Confirm example. It's not the best implementation, but it's a start. To support this I made changes to the object, available here: xModalDialog.

Hi Mike,

Sorry for the delay to look into this, but I was on something else until now.
So I have looked and I don't think it can do the job as a confirm - correct me if I'm wrong:

The action performed by the confirmation has to be embedded in the xModalDialog function. But what I would like to achieve is that any action is performedwithout having to put each of them in the original xModalDialog function. I'd like to be able to use this 'yes' function when I submit any form, or when I click on some links - to delete an entry or perform an important action.

At the moment, I use my links.js file (the one which captures all links) this way:

    else if (h.indexOf('DELETE_ENTRY') != -1){
      if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this entry?')){
        top.window.frames['bbn_iframe2'].location='../frames/delete.php'+arguments+'&target='+target+'&h='+h;
      }
      else{
        top.window.document.getElementById(target + '_loading').style.visibility = 'hidden';
      }
    }
    else if (h.indexOf('DELETE_BMENU') != -1){
      if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this menu?')){
        top.window.frames['bbn_iframe2'].location='../frames/delete.php'+arguments+'&target='+target+'&h='+h;
      }
      else{
        top.window.document.getElementById(target + '_loading').style.visibility = 'hidden';
      }
    }

And I have a similar function for forms actions.
So I wonder how my links.js file can get this yes response to perform or not the requested action.

Thanks again for your help!

Thomas
