I have a site here...
I didn't create a fiddle because I'm not sure how to replicate the issue with ajax.
When the site loads, there's an auto-popup that brings in an ajax request.
It's way off center and when I add the position flag there, the modal doesn't come up at all. I don't get any syntax errors, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
With this code, the popup opens (but off center)...
$(document).ready( function() {
jQuery('#compliance').load('jquery-ajax.html').dialog();
});
And when I add the position flag, it doesn't show up at all...
$(document).ready( function() {
jQuery('#compliance').load('jquery-ajax.html').dialog({
position: {my: "center top", at:"center top", of: window },
});
});
This is what ultimately worked...
$(document).ready( function() {
jQuery('#compliance').load('jquery-ajax.html').dialog({
resizable: false,
modal: true,
width: 750,
show: 'fade',
hide: 'fade',
position: {my: "center top", at:"center top", of: window }
});
});
I believe your issue has to do with ajax being loaded into the modal box. This can cause content sizing issues among other things. You can try adding
jQuery('#compliance').load('jquery-ajax.html').dialog({
resizable: false,
modal: true,
width:'auto'
});
Also for future reference, you shouldn't have to use jQuery
when acting upon an element. You can use the $
sign. If this isn't working then you may have an issue with the load order of your javascripts in the DOM
