Create Multiple Dialogs

Essential JS library supports multiple Dialog widgets in the same web page with different contents at different position using position property and different functionalities.

Initialize the Dialog widgets by adding the script section as below.

HTML

<!--dialog 1-->
    <div id="dialog1" title="Dialog">
        <p>
            This is a simple dialog
        </p>
    </div>
    <!--dialog 2-->
    <div id="dialog2" title="Window">
        <p>
            This is a different dialog
        </p>
    </div>
    <!--dialog 3-->
    <div id="dialog3" title="PopUp">
        <p>
            This is an another dialog
        </p>
    </div>

    <script>
        $(function () {
            $("#dialog1").ejDialog({
                width: 250,
                position: {
                    X: 20,
                    Y: 20
                }
            });
            $("#dialog2").ejDialog({
                width: 250,
                position: {
                    X: 300,
                    Y: 20
                }
            });
            $("#dialog3").ejDialog({
                width: 250,
                position: {
                    X: 150,
                    Y: 150
                }
            });
        });
    </script>

NOTE

If the position of the dialog is not set as above, all the three dialogs will be overlapped with each other.

Create Nested Dialog

A Dialog widget can be nested within another Dialog widget.

Create a div element to render the child Dialog widget and use it as a content of parent Dialog widget.

HTML

<!—button to open the dialog-->
     <button id="button1">Open Dialog</button>    
     <div id="dialog">
        <!— button to open the nested dialog -->
        <button id="button2" class="ejButton">Open Nested Dialog</button>
        <!—nested dialog-->
        <div id="nestedDialog">
                This is a nested Dialog
         </div>
      </div>

Initialize both the Dialog widgets by adding the script section as below.

JAVASCRIPT

$(function () {
            $("#button1").ejButton({ click: "openDialog" });
            $("#button2").ejButton({ click: "openNestedDialog" });

            $("#dialog").ejDialog({
                title: "Dialog",
                showOnInit: false,
                width: 500, height: 400,
                actionButtons: ["close", "collapsible", "maximize", "minimize", "pin"]
            });
            $("#nestedDialog").ejDialog({
                title: "Nested Dialog",
                showOnInit: false,
                width: 300, height: 200
            });
        });

        function openDialog(args) {
            $("#dialog").ejDialog("open");
        }
        function openNestedDialog(args) {
            $("#nestedDialog").ejDialog("open");
        }

Create Confirmation Dialog with Footer option.

Essential JS library supports Alert Dialog widgets.

Using showFooter property to render Alert Dialog with Footers in Dialog widget.

Initialize the Dialog widget using the below code.

HTML

<div class="content-container-fluid">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="cols-sample-area">
                <input class="e-btn" id="btnOpen" value="Click to open dialog" />
                <div class="control">
                    <div id="basicDialog" title="Confirmation Dialog">
                        Do you really leave the session?
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

Initialize Footer in Dialog widgets by adding the script section in JsRender as below.

JAVASCRIPT

<script id="sample" type="text/x-jsrender">
    <div class="footerspan" style="float:right">
      <button id='btn1'>OK</button>
      <button id='btn2'>Cancel</button>
    </div>
    <div class="condition" style="float:left; margin-left:15px">
    <input type="check" id="check1"></div>
    </script>

Add the below script to render the Dialog widget and map the render template Id into the footer content using footerTemplateId property.

JAVASCRIPT

$(window).load(function () {
            // declaration
            $("#basicDialog").ejDialog({               
                close: "onDialogClose",
                target: ".control",
                showFooter: true,
                footerTemplateId: "sample"
            });
			$("#check1").ejCheckBox({text:"Don't ask me this again"})
            $("#btnOpen").ejButton({ size: "medium", click: "onOpen", type: "button", height: 30, width: 150 });           
			$("#btn1").ejButton({ size:"mini",height: 30, width: 70});
			$("#btn2").ejButton({ size:"mini",height: 30, width: 70});
        });
       
        function onDialogClose(args) {
            $("#btnOpen").show();
        }
        function onOpen() {
            $("#btnOpen").hide();
            $("#basicDialog").ejDialog("open");
        }
    </script>
