Waiting for modal dialog to complete?

[tab]

I have a combo box that starts up a modal dialog in some cases on 'select'. I create the dialog and call dialog.show(), but I don't want the combo box to finish the select() until I get the results from the dialog box. I'm not sure how to pause, it seems like the code to dialog.show() just continues on.

You can't really "pause" javascript. Usually this is done by calling one process that then calls a callback function when complete to do something else. You'll probably need to handle the beforeselect event and provide for a way of enforcing when the select can actually occur based on the value of whatever gets returned from the dialog.
