Can I get two successive dialogs in javascript? - asp.net

Question

I have a need to check two unrelated conditions when the user clicks submit, and request user feedback for each.
I can get one jquery dialog up working great but I will sometimes need two in a row, and then have it complete the button event.
Here's the gist:
I have button
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmit_Click" />
and then some Jquery checking a certain condition that if true pops up a dialog. If the dialog opens I return false so the original click event doesn't occur but in most case I want to let it pass through:
$("#<%=btnSubmit.ClientID %>").click(
function() {
if (Condition) {
$('#Dialog').dialog('open');
return false;
}
return true;
}
);
I'm not using the regular dialog buttons but have another asp:button that calls a different OnClick Event in the code-behind:
$("#Dialog").dialog({
bgiframe: true,
autoOpen: false,
height: 90,
width: 450,
modal: true,
close: function() {}
<div id="Dialog">
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="OK" OnClick="btnDeleteSomethingThenSubmit_Click" />
<input type="button" value="Cancel" id="btnCancelDialog" />
</div>
Which is all great. Works anyway. But I also need another condition checked, with a different dialog but this time just a yes/no flag and I don't need to hit a server side event, so how can I get one to pop first, wait for response and set a value, pop the second, and then go to the OnClick event? Something like :
$("#<%=btnSubmit.ClientID %>").click(
function() {
if (OtherCondition) {
$('#Dialog2').dialog('open');
}
if (Condition) {
$('#Dialog').dialog('open');
return false;
}
return true;
}
);
Which obviously doesn't work.

Answer 1

Couldn't you have something like:
$("#<%=btnSubmit.ClientID %>").click(
function() {
var success = true;
if (OtherCondition) {
$('#Dialog2').dialog('open');
success = false;
}
if (Condition) {
$('#Dialog').dialog('open');
success false;
}
return success;
}
);
Basically, catch either dialog returning false in a variable, otherwise return true and allow the form to submit?

jQuery dialogs are non-blocking and don't behave like native JavaScript dialogs, which is why you cannot do
$("#<%=btnSubmit.ClientID %>").click(function() {
if (OtherCondition) {
$('#Dialog2').dialog('open');
}
if (Condition) {
$('#Dialog').dialog('open');
return false;
}
return true;
});
You need to use the close callback like this:
$("#<%=btnSubmit.ClientID %>").click(function() {
if (OtherCondition) {
$('#Dialog2').dialog('open', {
close: function() {
if (Condition) {
$('#Dialog').dialog('open', {
// Call some function here to report the status
close: function() {}
});
} else {
// Call some function here to report a different status
}
}
});
}
});
