closing the dialog from child page; How?

[noname]

Hi all,

I have an ext. dialog loaded with a child page. If submit is successfull, I want to close this dialog and show a message box. I am doing the form submition on AJAX and it will return a string , by checking the string I show/close the dialog and display message box. here my problem is how can I invoke the dialog.hide() method of the parent page?

let me know if this method is right, if not please suggest another method.

Thank you,

You need to have access to the dialog object (i.e. the correct scope). This can be done by making your dialog instance a global variable (probably frowned upon, but it works).

Your loaded page needs to have the flag scripts:true and remember the scripts will be parsed inline. I'm assuming your not using an iframe, otherwise you need to invoke it like parent.yourobject(); Check the pinned thread on scope.

ex. inline code:


Ok = function(){
dialog.hide();
return false;
};
dialog.addButton('Ok', Ok);
dialog.addButton('Close', dialog.hide, dialog);

Thank u ver much DigitalSkyline,

Now it is working,

I am using an iframe, and I called the function from parent page,
Still I am not clear about flag scripts:true, what is the significance of doing this?
Just asked to make my ideas better.

Thanks again dude!

Depends on the application but you don't always need to use an iframe, script:true parses the scripts when you load html from a url.
