jQuery UI Close event is triggered when the dialog box is closed.
Learn more about jQuery selectors and events here.
Syntax:
$(".selector").dialog ( close: function( event, ui ) { console.log('closed') },
Approach:
- First, add jQuery Mobile scripts needed for your project.
<link href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"> </script>
- 'Open Dialog' button will trigger the click function (#gfg) that will further open the <textarea> in a dialog (#gfg2).
- close( event, ui ) : Triggers when we click on close button in the dialog. There is callback function attached to this close.
- event : Type -> Event
- ui : Type -> Object
- callback function : function( event, ui ) { console.log('closed')}
