[SOLVED] $('#dlg').dialog('close') is not working with simple JSP page

$('#dlg').dialog('close') is not working with simple JSP page

$('#dlg').dialog('close') is not clickable, while on save button alert is coming. The answer on StackOverflow is related to an iframe. It does not work in my case.

<div id="dlg" class="easyui-dialog" title="Complex Toolbar on Dialog" style="width: 400px; height: 200px; padding: 10px" data-options="iconCls: 'icon-save', buttons: '#dlg-buttons'">
  The dialog content.
</div>
<div id="dlg-buttons">
  <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="easyui-linkbutton" onclick="javascript:alert('save')">Save</a>
  <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="easyui-linkbutton" onclick="javascript:$('#dlg').dialog('close')">Close</a>
</div>

On click of close, dialog window should get close.

Solution

If you check the console, you should have some error like "cannot call methods on dialog prior to initialization; attempted to call method 'close'"

Simple fix for this is:

$('#dlg').dialog().dialog('close');

  The dialog content.
</div>
<div id="dlg-buttons">
  <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="easyui-linkbutton" onclick="javascript:alert('save')">Save</a>
  <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="easyui-linkbutton" onclick="javascript:$('#dlg').dialog().dialog('close');">Close</a>
