Button API

When writing functions for each button, there are a number of widget methods available to you. They are all available in the keyword "this", which I prefer the convention of assigining to "self". e.g.:

jQuery

$(document).delegate('#opendialog', 'click', function() {
  // NOTE: The selector is the hidden DIV element.
  $('#inlinecontent').simpledialog2({ ...
    button: {
      'ok': {
        'click':
          function () {
            var self = this;
          }
....

Inside the self object, you will find the following:

• Objects

• displayAnchor

  A jQuery object that contains the calling element

• internalID

  An integer definition used by this dialog. Used for cleanup and event namespacing

• options

  A object that contains all the calling options (or the default)

• screen

  A jQuery object that contains "screen", or full page element that sits behind the dialog - it can either fade the background, or just catch clicks outside the dialog

• sdIntContent

  A jQuery object that contains the HTML of the body of the dialog (and the header in popup/fullscreen mode). You can change this directly, but it is here for search / replace operations really.

• thisInput

  A variable that contains the value of the buttonInput field.

• Methods

• close()

  Closes (and destorys) the dialog.

• updateBlank(--NewHTML--)

  Takes 1 argument, the new HTML for a currently open 'blank' mode dialog.

• repos()

  Force the dialog to re-calculate it's on-screen position.

• Arguments

• arguments[0]

  The first argument (you can name it if you like), is the event that was called. Not sure why this might be helpful, but it is there.

• arguments[1]+

  These can be set with the 'args' property - you can name them too if you like.
