Events, Options

Prototype properties

zIndex - (int, defaults to 10000) Defines start zIndex property for all dialog's HTML element. It's recommended to set dialog's zIndex as the largest for your project. Example MUX.Dialog.prototype.zIndex = 100000;.

Syntax

var dialog = new MUX.Dialog([options]);

Options

title - (string) Header's title text.
modal - (boolean, defaults to true) Turn on/off modal mode.
resizable - (boolean, defaults to false) If dialog can be manually resized by user. The dialog can be resized by dragging the right-bottom corner. Non-resizable mode means that it changes its size depends on content and is not resizable manually. true turns dialog into non-elastic mode, so content should be elastic and adjust to the dialog size, so when user will resize the window content should properly resize itself.
closable - (boolean, defaults to true) If the dialog can be closed by default close button in the header and by Esc or not.
autoOpen - (boolean, defaults to true) Setting to true opens the dialog right after creation, otherwise use open() of created object.
showHeader - (boolean or 'invisible', defaults to true) Show/hide dialog's header. 'invisible' mode means that header will have the same background as a window and will not be visible by itself. The Close button (if applicable) will be visible.
showFooter - (boolean or 'auto', defaults to 'auto') Show/hide dialogs's footer. If 'auto' footer is displayed if there is at least one button defined in options.
size - (object) Internal content size without header, footer and content padding. Possible keys are:

• x - (int) Initial width in pixels.
• y - (int) Initial height in pixels.

position - (object) Initial position of the dialog. Possible keys are:

• left - (int or 'center', defaults to 'center') Left coordinate in pixels. If 'center' dialog will be at the center of browser's window horizontally.
• top - (int or 'center' or 'auto', defaults to 'auto') Top coordinate in pixels. If 'center' dialog will be at the center of browser's window vertically. If 'auto' places dialog 100 pixels from the top or at the center of browser's window - what is higher.

content - (element or string) Element will be placed in the content element. String is treated like an URL for getting HTML by Request.HTML.
buttons - (array of objects) Buttons are placed from left to right. Each object defines dialog button and can have keys:

• title (string) Button text.
• click - (function or 'close' or 'submit') Function that is fired on button click. 'close' fires dialog's close() method. 'submit' fires dialog's submit event.
• style - ('ellipse' or 'rectangle' or 'native' or 'link' or 'auto', defaults to 'auto'). Button look. CSS styles are NOT acceptable in this property. 'auto' means that button style will depend on user's OS and browser. 'link' means that button looks like a link, just text without background and borders. For more information see MUX.Button class below.

defaultButton - (int or undefined, defaults to undefined) Index (from left to right) of the default dialog's button. Defining this property sets keydown event listener for the content element that catches Enter pressed and fires button click event.
loader - ('none' or 'manual' or 'auto', defaults to 'auto'). Adds AJAX animation icon near buttons. It users MUX.Loader.XXX classes. If these classes are not attached this option will be ignored. If 'none' - no loader is available. If 'manual' loader will be available and you should start and stop it from code. If 'auto' it plays with onSubmit event, starts animation when event fired and stops when dialog is closing. If submission failed (e.g. didn't pass validation) and you don't need to close dialog you should stop animation manually. For more information see MUX.Loaders documentation.

Instance Properties

box - (element) General dialog element without modal overlay.
header - (element) Header element.
content - (element) Content element.
footer - (element) Footer element.
loader - (MUX.Loader.XXX or undefined) Loader object if MUX.Loaders library is attached and loader option is set to manual or auto. Otherwise undefined.

Instance Methods

open() - Opens dialog if it was closed or created with autoOpen set to false. Returns dialog instance.
close([delay]) - Close dialog and destroys elements. Parameter sets close delay in ms and in if is set the dialog is close with fading. You can use close(1) to close with fading without delay.
position() - Position dialog onto initial coordinates according to options. Returns dialog instance.
moveToTop() - Moves dialog to the top of other dialogs. Returns dialog instance.

Instance Events

open - (option onOpen) Fires when content is loaded (if ajax) and placed, the dialog is open but still invisible. Dialog will position after firing the event.
close - (option onClose) On close dialog. This is the right place to write some common things to execute on close.
submit - (option onSubmit) This event fires on click buttons with 'submit' value for 'click' option and helps to keep your code more structured.
