Ok, you’re fully right !
I should thought about it, to get the value in the submit part.
Thanks a lot for your quick answer, you do a really good job, good luck for the next.

Is this function within the submit or the callback function? I’ve recently found a bug within ie6 retaining checked attributes when traversing the dom after the elements have been technically removed(in the callback function the prompt is gone, a copy of it is passed to the callback function, where as the submit function actually passes a reference to the dom since the prompt is still alive. So given that The solution might be something like this in my function that calls the prompt:

function myfunc(){
var formvals = {};

$.prompt(‘…’,{
submit: function(v,m){
//save the vals into formvals
formvals.val1 = m.find(‘#val1′).val();
//now do my normal validation….
},
callback: function(v,m){
//now i have access to the submitted formvals and don’t have to traverse the dom again…
}
}

So in the end this actually works out to be faster than writing the selectors twice, we just save them and use them in the callback.

Hello Trent,
I have the same problems than Chaitsu :
IE6 cannot detect the m.find(“#…”).is(“:checked”)
==> It always returns ‘false’
But on FF it works.
Could you tell me how i could resolve that
(may you please reply on mail too)

Thanks for that great plugin

pangzh,

Can you please provide the english translation for the html string passed to the prompt?

Also I have encountered a bug with IE in the past with checkboxes in the call back function, you can’t track whether it’s checked or not(not sure if that’s the case). Also be aware that .children() will only find immediate children, if it is embeded deaper into your object you should use .find(). Hope that helps.

function village_top(v,m){
if(v == true){

//var location = m.children(“:radio:checked”).val();
var location = m.find(‘input’).is(‘:checked’);
alert(location.val());
//var location = m.find(“input[@name=location][@checked=checked]“).val();
//alert(location);
var webid = m.children(‘#top_webid’).val();
var infoid = m.children(‘#top_infoid’).val();
alert(infoid);
alert(webid);

}

dot work

Yes, its very simple. I do this all the time with json or xml.

jQuery.getScript(‘myJSON.cfm’, function(data,textStatus){

$.prompt(‘test’);

});

This would also work with $.post and $.get, you just simply need to place impromtu within the callback of the ajax post.

I need to show popup info message with single close button, but content is located in separate html file. Is it possible to do with Impromptu?

problem is on jqModal end, when attribute ‘modal’ is set to true, it blocks key strokes outside the jqModal dialog area (http://dev.iceburg.net/jquery/jqModal/#etc):

sorry for wasting your time

I’ve had a few people mention problems with jqModal. I’m not sure whether the problem is on the jqModal end or Impromptu end. Hopefully when I find a little time in the next few days I can provide a little more input.
