APEX

I am using apex 4.1. I have a page that I would like to call several different pop-up windows from. I am able to call a pop-up window using a column link, but unable to do so from a button.

Here is what I currently have.

dynamic action - MODAL DIALOG
event: CLICK
selection type: jQuery Selector
jQuery Selector: a[id^=callModalDialog],button[value=CREATE]
true action: executeJavascript code
fire when event: TRUE
event scope: LIVE

/* prevent default behaviour on click */

var e = this.browserEvent;

e.preventDefault();

/* Find page link */

var link;

if (this.triggeringElement.tagName=='A') {

link = this.triggeringElement.href;

} else if (this.triggeringElement.tagName=='BUTTON') {

link = this.triggeringElement.title;

}

/* Trigger JQuery UI dialog */

var horizontalPadding = 30;

var verticalPadding = 30;

$('<iframe id="modalDialog" src="' + link + '" />').dialog({

title: "Endorsements",

autoOpen: true,

width: 600,

height: 500,

modal: true,

close: function(event, ui) {apex.event.trigger('#P311_AFTER_MODAL','select',''); $(this).remove();},

overlay: {

opacity: 0.5,

background: "blue"}

}).width(600 - horizontalPadding).height(500 - verticalPadding);

return false;



my second DYNAMIC ACTION is ON PAGE LOAD
event: PAGE LOAD
action: EXECUTE JAVA SCRIPT
Fire when event: TRUE

true action:
/* get original onclick event */

var origAction = $('button[value=CREATE]').attr('onclick').toString();

/* get link from original onclick event using regular expression */

var link = origAction.match(/(redirect\((\'|\"))([^\'\)|\"\)]*)/)[3];

/* Remove original onclick event */

$('button[value=CREATE]').removeAttr('onclick');

/* store link as title attribute of button */

$('button[value=CREATE]').attr('title', link);



when the popup is called from a column link, I have the link attribute set to : id="callModalDialog#PERMIT_ID#". This works perfectly. The page (page 311) that is called appears as a modal popup.

when the popup is called from a button (NOTE: THIS IS TO CALL A DIFFERENT PAGE, page 86), the action is REDIRECT TO PAGE IN APPLICATION. The page is called, but not as a modal popup, only as a regular page.


thanks for any help. Karen
