Closing a Dojo dialog

**cheechm** · 04-14-2007, 11:08 PM

Hi,
I have opened a dojo dialog using this code:

Code:

<body onload="dlg0.show()" + "dialog0.show()">

When you enter a new page (in an iFrame in the dialog) though I try to close it using this code but it doesn't work:

Code:

<body onload="dlg0.hide()">

but nothing happens

Thanks

You have two conflicting onload event handlers in the first snippet:

Code:

<body onload="dlg0.show();dialog0.show()">

It didn't seem to matter when I changed them around.
The only thing that isn't working is the close bit.

Code:

<body onload="dlg0.hide()">

doesn't actually function when the page is entered. Is it the wrong code?

If it's inside the iframe, it cannot access the page outside the iframe. You have to use dlg0.hide(); inside the main page.

Ok, but if the iFrame is in the Dojo dialog, can you close the Dojo Dialog from inside the iFrame?

Sorry, you can't. Anything inside the iframe can't access anything outside the iframe.
