Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'dialog'

Question

I am using an .ascx user control where i populating employee data along with employee picture. while on clicking employee picture i want to display a dialog where i want to have one text field and a text box for input from user. Click event is firing fine but with dialog it gives me the error of "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'dialog'". Could please anyone help me to populate a dialog with a text field and text box. I am really new to the JQUERY and struggling to get it work.

In the following code snippet i have added a dialog code from one of the example i found online.

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="OpenAccessDataProvider,a4a794260c0b4440b466f75d11146db8.ascx.cs" Inherits="SitefinityWebApp.SfCtrlPresentation.OpenAccessDataProvider_a4a794260c0b4440b466f75d11146db8" %>

        .dialog({
            autoOpen: false,
            title: 'Basic Dialog'
        });

                $('#opener').click(function () {
                    $dialog.dialog('open');
                    // prevent the default action, e.g., following a link
                    return false;
                });

            //alert("HEY THERE " + $(this).attr("src"));

it seems like jquery ui.js is not being loaded also keep in mind you have to include jquery.js before including any other library – Kultur

Thanks for the advise 3nigma. I know jquery.js is not included in my code but as i mentioned i am working with a user control (.ascx file) where i dont know if i am allowed to add jquery.js script as we add any script in the header of .aspx pages while in user controls i dont have any header. any advise for that? i tried adding script directly and I am still ending up with same error "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'dialog'" – Cairn

It's some sort of an annoying conflict with the Telerik libraries. – Himself

Got it working guys. Just added a div that is for dialog and than from picture click just called the div. Also, added a JQuery.noConflict(); to prevent any conflicts between Sitefinity and JQuery libraries. Following is the code snippet

<div class="dialogTest"> <br />
<br />
Please enter your email address: <input type="text" name="emailAddress" style="width:300px;" /><br /><br />

<asp:TextBox ID="txtBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <br/>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" CausesValidation="False" 
        onclick="Button1_Click" />
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
$j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j(document).ready(function () {
    $j(".sfClearfix .sfimageWrp img").click(function () {
        $j(".dialogTest").addClass("open");
        //return $j(this).attr("src");
    });
});
</script>

Congrats on the fix! When you are able, please make sure to mark your answer as 'accepted' so that others will be able to learn from your success. Cheers~ – Astridastride

Had some conflict between telerik and jquery and so the jquery ui dialog would throw an error. $j = jQuery.noConflict(); worked for me. – Footer

Answer 2

In my case, jquery files are not loaded properly. So what I did are: 1) Opened the page at Chrome 2) Selected the Developer tools from the menu or Ctrl+Shift+I 3) Clicked on Network to see all.

Answer 3

I had the same issue. problem was I had loaded 2 Jquery files. jquery-1.8.3.js and jquery-1.4.1.js . so there was a conflict. after removing jquery-1.4.1.js file . it worked smoothly.
