One of the other posters had a very similar problem in ie and the doctype fixed their problem.. although I see you have your doctype, but I noticed you were using a strict doctype and there were some xhtml errors(looks as if it was a repetative error, probably is just a couple elements that are throwing everything off). This might even fix a few other cross-browser differences.

I’m trying to use impromptu here:

click on the ‘photos’ tab, then click ‘edit caption’ button anywhere.

As you can see, in IE6 the positioning is off. The impromptu div looks to be on the top left of the screen, and partially cut off. I am using the latest version.

The solution to your problem might be pretty simple if I understand you correctly. You dont want to show any buttons and allow another piece of javascript to close the prompt. If so here is how I would go about this.

First allow a button named “BtnName” and use css to hide it so we don’t lose any functionality..

#jqibuttonBtnName{ display: none; }

Then from your javascript use the jquery trigger function to trigger the click.
http://docs.jquery.com/Events/trigger#typedata

$(“#jqibuttonBtnName”).trigger(“click”);

Now you havn’t lost any functionality and triggering the click event will close the prompt.

Can you extend the plugin to make the blockUI functionality possible? For some reason the blockUI plugin doesnt work together with the other plugins I’m using for my current project and I want to have the blocking to look and act the same as my prompts. Basically what you would have to do is let me call the prompt with an empty button object and to be able to close the prompt from other scripts.

I know how to mod your plugin to show now buttons (and no button div) if the button object is empty, but I have no idea how to close the prompt.

thanks again

function mycallback(v,m){
    fooVal = m.find(“input[name=foo]“).val();
    if(v){
        $.post(“mypage.php”,{foo:fooVal},ajaxCallback);
    }
}

Is this what you’re asking?

think is impossible to execute some ajax request from the callback with a specific variables if the user click on “OK” button, right? or Ima mistaken?! :(

Sorry I have to ask, which situations would need the prompt to be elsewhere besides centered in it’s container? Have you tried adjusting the position with your CSS? I’m definitely open for suggestions if its a well needed addition, and by no means am I ruling
this out.

And custom X,Y positioning.
Also, Fixed Height/Width if possible.

Please contact me about this.
