OK.... I hope people will forgive my faux pas of responding to my own
item...
so I have found my problem. It turns out that the "this" in the line:
$(this).dialog('close');
is not referring to the dialog... but to the ajax request. Duh.
There are a couple other things too... but I was wondering about this:
When I get the return from the ajax request, I want to call another
function that calls an ajax request. Seems that things get kinda
messed up. I have fixed it by setting a timeout to call that function.
Are embedded Ajax calls not supported?
Thanks.

I have an application where I am displaying a list from a database.
When the user hits a button, a modal form dialog comes up and they
can enter data.
It makes an ajax call to the server, gets the data, populates the
dialog, then opens it. Change the data, hit the "Create" button and
it makes another Ajax call to update the database.
I see the changes (correctly) in the database, but the callback is
not being executed! It's the weirdest thing... I'm not sure what
the problem is.. I examine the HTTP traffic and I'm getting a
status of 200 and the response looks correct.
If it matters, I'm on OS X using FF 3.51
Note that if I put an alert before the dialog('close') call, the
alert pops up, but the dialog does not close... :(
Code for this dialog is here:
$("#dialog").dialog({
bgiframe: true,
autoOpen: false,
height: 350,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Create': function() {
var data = { section: $("#section_id").val(), label: $
("#label").val(), description: $("#description").val(), thumbnail: $
("#thumbnail").val(), format: $("#format").val() };
$.post("command/save_section.php",
data, function(xml) {
var save_request =
parseInt($("#section_id").val());
var save_result =
parseInt($('section', xml).text());
//alert("testing " + save_request +
" to " + save_result);
if (save_request ==
save_result) {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
else {
open_alert_dialog("There was an error when processing this
request!");
}
});
},
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
},
close: function() {
allFields.val('').removeClass('ui-state-error');
}
});
any help is appreciated... thanks.
