jQueryUI Dialog + Firefox + ASP.Net = access to strict mode caller function is censored


I have a page that works great in IE and Chrome, but doesn't work in Firefox and Opera. When I say it doesn't work I mean that the Submit button doesn't do anything at all. It is a page with several nested UpdatePanels on it and a couple of jQueryUI Accordions on it too.

I have a simple div.

<div id="date-dialog" title="Date?">
    <label id="lblDate" for="txtDate">
        Please Enter Your The Date:
    </label>
    <input type="text" id="txtDate" class="text ui-widget-content ui-corner-all" />
</div>

And then I have some simple code to turn it into a dialog:

$('#date-dialog').dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    modal: true,
    resizable: false,
    buttons: {
        "Submit": function () {
            __doPostBack('DateButton', $('#txtDate').val());
        },
        "Cancel": function () {
            $(this).dialog("close");
        }
    }
});

$('#txtDate').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' });

I've also tried adding this, which doesn't help and which actually doesn't work with a modal dialog:

    open: function (type, data) {
        $(this).parent().appendTo("form");
    },

In Firefox I get the following error:

Error: TypeError: access to strict mode caller function is censored
Source File: http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/4.0/2/MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.debug.js
Line: 718

I have no idea what to do to fix this. I would love to turn off strict mode, but I can't find any information on how to do that. I can barely find any information about that error using Google. It seems like what I'm doing should be quite simple.


Solution

  • While this doesn't actually explain how to fix the problem, this is a working work-around.

    I created a hidden field that corresponded to each field in the dialog box. Then I created a button. These had to be kept outside of the dialog box div because the div is moved to outside the form when it is turned in to a dialog box. Then I modified my dialog box creation code to be something like this:

    $('#date-dialog').dialog({
        autoOpen: false,
        modal: true,
        resizable: false,
        buttons: {
            "Submit": function () {
                $('#<%=hfDate.ClientID %>').val($('#txtDate').val());
                $('#<%=btnFormSubmit.ClientID %>').click();
                $(this).dialog("close");
            },
            "Cancel": function () {
                $(this).dialog("close");
            }
        }
    });
