jquery: How to completely remove a dialog on close
- by Svish
When an ajax operation fails, I create a new div with the errors and then show it as a dialog. When the dialog is closed I would like to completely destroy and remove the div again. How can I do this? My code looks something like this at the moment:
$('<div>We failed</div>')
.dialog(
{
title: 'Error',
close: function(event, ui)
{
$(this).destroy().remove();
}
});
When I run this the dialog box shows up correctly, but when I close it the dialog is still visible in the html (using FireBug). What am I missing here? Something I have forgotten?
Update: Just noticed my code gives me an error in the firebug console.
$(this).destroy is not a function
Anyone able to help me out?
Update: If I do just $(this).remove() instead, the item is removed from the html. But is it completely removed from the DOM? Or do I somehow need to call that destroy function first as well?
