How to Redirect to Home Page Using JQuery-UI Dialog? - jquery-ui-dialog

Question

I'm using the following JQuery block in my DotNetNuke module:
jquery(document).ready(function (){
$( "#dialog:ui-dialog").dialog("destroy");
$( "#dialog-message").dialog({
modal: true,
buttons: {
Ok: function(){
$( this ).dialog("close");
}
}
});
});
</script>
<div id="dialog-message" title="Registration Confirmed">
I'm not sure how to redirect the user to the home page when they click the Ok button? Also, how do I wire up the dialog-message DIV to only fire when my ASP:Button is clicked?
Thanks much!!

Answer 1

You can put an OnClientClick on your Button and call a function that will show your modal. When the ok button is clicked you can change the window.location to the path of your homepage.
HTML
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btn_ShowModal" OnClientClick="showModal(); return false;" />
Javascript
function showModal()
{
$( "#dialog-message").dialog({
modal: true,
buttons: {
Ok: function(){
$( this ).dialog("close");
window.location = "pathToHomepage";
}
}
});
}
Edit
There are two types of paths that can be used in javascript and in web development in general: relative paths and absolute paths.
Relative paths: start from the current directory and you access the desired location from there using '/' to go forward a directory and '../' to go backward
Absolute paths: the full url to the desired location
You can find a more thorough description here
'~/' is a sever side "shortcut" that unfortunately does not work on the client side without using something like this.ResolveClientUrl.
'<%= this.ResolveClientUrl("~/default.aspx") %>'

<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowPopup(message) {
$(function () {
$("#dialog").html(message);
$("#dialog").dialog({
title: "Alert",
buttons: {
Close: function () {
$(this).dialog('close');
window.location = "home.aspx";
}
},
modal: true
});
});
};
</script>
client side
string message = "Profile Updated!!.";
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Popup", "ShowPopup('" + message + "');", true);
