Running Javascript Inside A Simplemodal Window

I'm trying to add scripts to a modal (simplemodal) jquery plugin but they won't run, is this functionality simply not available when running in the modal or am I missing something.

Solution 1:

What is $App.setLocation('#/'); doing?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, but intended the onClose callback to be used mainly for closing animations.

My suggestion would be to use the onShow callback and bind your own function to the "close" event. For example:

$('#modal').modal({
  onShow: function (dialog) {
    $('.close', dialog.data[0]).click(function () {
      $App.setLocation('#/');
      $.modal.close();
      return false;
    });
  }
});

Solution 2:

SimpleModal is more powerful than, I would like to believe, even Eric Martin knows.

1. Create your modal hidden div within your main document;
2. Create WHATEVER FULL HTML/ASP/JAVASCRIPT page you want to process in that modal;
3. Load the hidden div with the HTML/ASP/JAVASCRIPT page using jquery.load();
4. Display the modal
