Jquery Event Sequence

[Mark Reyes]

Hi All,

Good Day!
Can anybody give me some advice on my problem below.
Its on the chaining of events that I cannot make things work. I used form plugin for passing ajax to my Spring 2.5 Controller

function showMessage(message){
	$("#common-dialog").dialog({
		autoOpen:	false,
		height:		200,
		width:		250,
		modal:		true,
		buttons:	{
			OK:	function(){
				$(this).dialog("close");
			}
		},
		open:	function(){
			$(this).find("span").text(message);
		}
	});
	$("#common-dialog").dialog("open");
}

$(document).ready(function(){
	var options = {  
		success:       successCancel, 
		dataType:  'json'         
	}; 

	$("#cancelEqr").ajaxForm(options);

	function successCancel(data, statusText, xhr, $form){
		$("#cancel-remarks-form").dialog("close");
		if(data.bolSuccess){
			$("#cancel-eqr-button").attr("disabled","disabled");
			showMessage("Successfully Cancelled Qual Report Transaction!!!");
			disableAllForms();
			changeQualStatus();
		}else{
			showMessage("Failed To Cancel Qual Report Transaction!!!");
		}
	};
		
	function disableAllForms(){
		$("#cond-qual, full-qual").find("form").find("textarea").addClass("ui-state-disabled")
			.end().add("input").attr("disabled", "disabled");
	}
		
	function changeQualStatus(){
		var options = {};
		$("#qual-status-text").hide("clip", options, 500).show("fold",options, 500);
	}
}

My problem is in this line

	if(data.bolSuccess){
		$("#cancel-eqr-button").attr("disabled","disabled");
		showMessage("Successfully Cancelled Qual Report Transaction!!!");
		disableAllForms();
		changeQualStatus();
	}

When the JSON response return with success, I am showing a jquery UI dialog. Now my problem is, all other
events happen at the same time.
What I want is to have each function run after the completion of the other.
Say, the events will be like this:

1. Display the message.
2. User click OK then
3. Disable other forms
4. Some gui update (changeQualStatus)

I am not able to code at the CLOSE event of the jquery ui dialog since I made it a global function that displays any message pass to it.

Sorry for the lengthy code but I already strip out many of it to make it readable.

If you made the function that disallows what you're trying to do can't you make a function that does?

Hi David, this really makes sense.

I should poke myself with this.

Thanks!
