UI Page not running processing script

[grosch]

In my UI Page I've stuck this line to create the ok and cancel buttons:

<g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return makeChanges()" ok_type="button" cancel_type="button" />

I then have this in the client script window:

function makeChanges() {
       var service = gel("service").value;
       if (!service) {
               alert("Please select a service to update.");
               return false;
       }

       GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy(); //Close the dialog window

       return true;
}

When I hit OK, the window just goes away.   The code that I have in the Processing script never runs.   Is it because I listed an "ok" callback?   Basically I need to make sure the input is OK and then if it is do the work server side.

You don't need to destroy the window when clicking the OK button. I think it's only necessary if you return false, but I don't see a function that you have defined for the cancel button.

try it after removing the line:

GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy(); //Close the dialog window

If you don't destroy the window, it doesn't go away.

It works perfectly without it for me, you only need it on the cancel button function.

I set up a small test so I create a ui page called "ui_page_test".

Jelly:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

   <g:ui_form>

             <input id='testid' type='text'></input>

             <input id="service" value="this is a service" type="hidden"/>

             <g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return makeChanges();"/>

   </g:ui_form>

</j:jelly>

Nothing fancy, just a simple form. I assume you have the <g:ui_form> tags?

Client script:

function makeChanges() {   

       var service = gel("service").value; 

       if (!service) {   

               alert("Please select a service to update.");   

               return false;   

       }   

       return true;   

} 

Processing script:

gs.log('test log');

response.sendRedirect("incident_list.do");

Called from a UI action on the incident form (client checkbox checked and onclick is makeItRun()):

function makeItRun(){

   var dialog = new GlideDialogWindow("ui_page_test");

   dialog.setTitle("This is a test ui page dialog window");

   dialog.render();

}

I tested your code and it works, however I need to retrieve a value from within the client script to process in the processing script.   If I read this correctly I need to return the value back to the HTML and then retreive from that point.   Is this correct.

Hi Scott

I had the same problem just now, but tracked it down to the line

               <g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return makeChanges()" ok_type="button" cancel_type="button" />

The ok_type and cancel_type attributes seem to break processing script actions

Remove these attributes as such

               <g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return makeChanges()" ok_type="button" cancel_type="button" />

And off she goes
