In this article i will be explaining, How to open and auto close and change content of JQuery UI Dialog box on click of Hyperlink or Anchor Tag.
I have assumed that you have already created VS.Net Web Project and add JQuery UI reference into your web project. If you need help in adding JQuery UI into asp.net website, then please read my post on how to add JQuery UI into asp.net website
Create a asp.net content page and add following code
<a id="hlOpenMe" runat="server" href="#">Click Me to Open and auto close Dialog Box</a>
<br />
<b>Please wait for 5 Seconds and JQuery UI Dialog box will auto close.</b>
<br /><br />
<div id="dialog" title="My Dialog Title">
<p>This is My Dialog box Description/Content</p>
<p>This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.</p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog({ autoOpen: false });
$("#<%=hlOpenMe.ClientID%>").click(
function () {
$("#dialog").dialog('open');
//Change content on the fly
ChangeMessage("Welcome to JQueryUI Dialog Box Example");
//Auto Close JQueryUI Dialog Box
AutoCloseDialogBox(5000);
return false;
}
);
function ChangeMessage(Message) {
$("#dialog").html(Message);
}
function AutoCloseDialogBox(WaitSeconds) {
//Auto Close Dialog Box after few seconds
setTimeout(
function () {
$("#dialog").dialog("close");
}, WaitSeconds);
}
});
</script>
1) I have declared a simple asp.net hyperlink control (Since it has runat="server" it is asp.net control)
2) setTimeOut javascript function will cause dealy, this helps us to close JQuery UI dialog box after few seconds.
Syntax: setTimeout("javascript function declaration",milliseconds);
Example:
setTimeout(
function () {
$("#dialog").dialog("close");
}, 5000);
Above line will cause a delay 5 seconds and then auto close dialog box.
