Question
How do I remove the close button (the X in the top-right corner) on a dialog box created by jQuery UI?
Solution
I have found this worked in the end (note the third line overriding the open function which find the button and hides it):
$("#div2").dialog({
closeOnEscape: false,
open: function(event, ui) {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close", ui.dialog || ui).hide();
}
});
To hide the close button on all dialogs you can use the following CSS too:
.ui-dialog-titlebar-close {
visibility: hidden;
}
OTHER TIPS
Here is another option just using CSS that does not over ride every dialog on the page.
The CSS
.no-close .ui-dialog-titlebar-close {display: none }
The HTML
<div class="selector" title="No close button">
This is a test without a close button
</div>
The Javascript.
$( ".selector" ).dialog({ dialogClass: 'no-close' });
the "best" answer will not be good for multiple dialogs. here is a better solution.
open: function(event, ui) {
//hide close button.
$(this).parent().children().children('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').hide();
},
You can use CSS to hide the close button instead of JavaScript:
.ui-dialog-titlebar-close{
display: none;
}
If you don't want to affect all the modals, you could use a rule like
.hide-close-btn .ui-dialog-titlebar-close{
display: none;
}
And apply .hide-close-btn
to the top node of the dialog
As shown on the official page and suggested by David:
Create a style:
.no-close .ui-dialog-titlebar-close {
display: none;
}
Then, you can simply add the no-close class to any dialog in order to hide it's close button:
$( "#dialog" ).dialog({
dialogClass: "no-close",
buttons: [{
text: "OK",
click: function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
}]
});
I think this is better.
open: function(event, ui) {
$(this).closest('.ui-dialog').find('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').hide();
}
Once you have called .dialog()
on an element, you can locate the close button (and other dialog markup) at any convenient time without using event handlers:
$("#div2").dialog({ // call .dialog method to create the dialog markup
autoOpen: false
});
$("#div2").dialog("widget") // get the dialog widget element
.find(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close") // find the close button for this dialog
.hide(); // hide it
Alternate method:
Inside dialog event handlers, this
refers to the element being "dialogged" and $(this).parent()
refers to the dialog markup container, so:
$("#div3").dialog({
open: function() { // open event handler
$(this) // the element being dialogged
.parent() // get the dialog widget element
.find(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close") // find the close button for this dialog
.hide(); // hide it
}
});
FYI, dialog markup looks like this:
<div class="ui-dialog ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all ui-draggable ui-resizable">
<!-- ^--- this is the dialog widget -->
<div class="ui-dialog-titlebar ui-widget-header ui-corner-all ui-helper-clearfix">
<span class="ui-dialog-title" id="ui-dialog-title-dialog">Dialog title</span>
<a class="ui-dialog-titlebar-close ui-corner-all" href="#"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-closethick">close</span></a>
</div>
<div id="div2" style="height: 200px; min-height: 200px; width: auto;" class="ui-dialog-content ui-widget-content">
<!-- ^--- this is the element upon which .dialog() was called -->
</div>
</div>
Robert MacLean's answer did not work for me.
This however does work for me:
$("#div").dialog({
open: function() { $(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide(); }
});
$("#div2").dialog({
closeOnEscape: false,
open: function(event, ui) { $('#div2').parent().find('a.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').hide();}
});
None of the above works. The solution that really works is:
$(function(){
//this is your dialog:
$('#mydiv').dialog({
// Step 1. Add an extra class to our dialog to address the dialog directly. Make sure that this class is not used anywhere else:
dialogClass: 'my-extra-class'
})
// Step 2. Hide the close 'X' button on the dialog that you marked with your extra class
$('.my-extra-class').find('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').css('display','none');
// Step 3. Enjoy your dialog without the 'X' link
})
Please check if it works for you.
The best way to hide the button is to filter it with it's data-icon attribute:
$('#dialog-id [data-icon="delete"]').hide();
http://jsfiddle.net/marcosfromero/aWyNn/
$('#yourdiv'). // Get your box ...
dialog(). // ... and turn it into dialog (autoOpen: false also works)
prev('.ui-dialog-titlebar'). // Get title bar,...
find('a'). // ... then get the X close button ...
hide(); // ... and hide it
For the deactivating the class, the short code:
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide();
may be used.
The close button added by the Dialog widget has the class 'ui-dialog-titlebar-close', so after your initial call to .dialog(), you can use a statement like this to remove the close button again: It works..
$( 'a.ui-dialog-titlebar-close' ).remove();
I catch the close event of the dialog box. This code then removes the <div>
(#dhx_combo_list
):
open: function(event, ui) {
//hide close button.
$(this).parent().children().children('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').click(function(){
$("#dhx_combo_list").remove();
});
},
$(".ui-button-icon-only").hide();
You can also remove your header line:
<div data-role="header">...</div>
which removes the close button.
document.querySelector('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').style.display = 'none'
Easy way to achieve: (Do this in your Javascript
)
$("selector").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
open: function(event, ui) { // It'll hide Close button
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close", ui.dialog | ui).hide();
},
closeOnEscape: false, // Do not close dialog on press Esc button
show: {
effect: "clip",
duration: 500
},
hide: {
effect: "blind",
duration: 200
},
....
});
Since I found I was doing this in several places in my app, I wrapped it in a plugin:
(function ($) {
$.fn.dialogNoClose = function () {
return this.each(function () {
// hide the close button and prevent ESC key from closing
$(this).closest(".ui-dialog").find(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide();
$(this).dialog("option", "closeOnEscape", false);
});
};
})(jQuery)
Usage Example:
$("#dialog").dialog({ /* lots of options */ }).dialogNoClose();
I am a fan of one-liners (where they work!). Here is what works for me:
$("#dialog").siblings(".ui-dialog-titlebar").find(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide();
How about using this pure CSS line? I find this the cleanest solution for a dialog with given Id:
.ui-dialog[aria-describedby="IdValueOfDialog"] .ui-dialog-titlebar-close { display: none; }
You can remove the close button with the code below. There are other options as well which you might fight useful.
$('#dialog-modal').dialog({
//To hide the Close 'X' button
"closeX": false,
//To disable closing the pop up on escape
"closeOnEscape": false,
//To allow background scrolling
"allowScrolling": true
})
//To remove the whole title bar
.siblings('.ui-dialog-titlebar').remove();
