I am using jQuery UI dialog to display a confirmation dialog when a button is clicked. I want to return true, when OK is clicked and false otherwise.
Associating dialog open call in onClick (as given here, $dialog.dialog('open');) event does not serve the purpose. So, as a workaround, I followed an approach, which is similar to this: http://www.perfectline.co.uk/blog/unobtrusive-custom-confirmation-dialogs-with-jquery. There are two differences between this approach and mine:
- The example uses anchor tag and,
- It does not use jQuery UI dialog.
I have modified the code given in the example link, but it does not work. I wonder what I am doing wrong. Is there any cheaper way to do this?
Here is the code, all the CSS/JS are referencing to jQuery CDN, so you should be able to copy the code to see the behavior.
