I tried two ways of solving it.
1. Putting the following code within the _init() of the dialog. Yes, I'm
patching the dialog:
$(document).click(function(evt) {
console.log('closing the dialog')
if(self._isOpen) {
self.close();
}
});
Since I'm bringing up the dialog with the click on a button, it
immediately after triggers the handler. Since it's by then already open,
then it will be immediately closed. The console.log confirms that behavior.
2. Putting the following code to create and open the dialog from a click
on a button.
$(function() {
$("#selectme").dialog({
bgiframe: true,
autoOpen: false,
height: 300
});
$('#open-dialog').click(function(evt) {
$('#selectme').dialog('open');
$('document').click(function() {
console.log('got a document.click')
$('#selectme').close();
})
});
});
The second fails, in that no clicks are ever reaching the code in question.
I really prefer the first version since that makes it possible to wrap
everything of the behavior within the plugin. But right now I'm open to
any suggestions.
