posting a form from within a dialog box

[Justin Sunseri]

I've been trying recently to have a small form pop up on a dialog.
I'm using asp.net and i find it very difficult to do this because the
dialogs are removed from the form#aspnetForm I can't seem to add the
dialog back into the form and I can't move the form to surround the
dialog box. What do you suggest and why was the dialog ui element
written in such a way that would make this nearly impossible

You have a couple options:

- before submit do something like .dialog("destroy").appendTo("#myForm");
- contain a form entirely inside the dialog. Like $("form").dialog() or $("div.whichcontainsform").dialog();
- copy the values from the dialog form elements to other form elements which weren't moved. Note: this won't be an option if you have any file input elements.

IE6. The dialog has to be at the end of the body to be the top-most element, regardless of z-Index.

I was thrilled to find this solution! I was very near the end of my
rope when I found this thread.

After hits the docs on dialog("destroy") I'm left wondering why the
return is not documented.

It also saves me a lot of time.

I'm in a cusomer project using JSF together with jQuery, and faced a
preblem that
it failed to get the new value of a value binding when using a jQuery
UI Dialog.

Thanks a lot.
