Yii Ajax提交按钮

Question

Yii 1.1.14

I'm trying to make a popup to select a year and then get some reporting output for the selected year :

The popup is generated by CJuiDialog. Inside CJuiDialog', I have a form. In the first time I had a normal submit button on the form and it worked fine. But it did not close the popup. Then I found this post : Yii - CJuiDialog Close on submit button click The button of the dialog to submit the form closes the dialog but seems not to post to the indicated url. I also tried ajaxSubmitButton() directly in the form. Same result when I click on this button. There are no JS errors, nothing in the application log.

This is my View :

<div class="reporting">
    <?php 
        $this->beginWidget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDialog',array(
            'id'=>'mydialog',
            'options'=>array(
                'title'=>'select year test',
                'autoOpen'=>false,
                'modal'=>true,
                'buttons' => array(
                    'Dialog Submit Button'=>'js:function(){
                        $.post(
                            $("#select-year-form").attr("action"),
                            $("#select-year-form").serialize(),
                            function(){$("#mydialog").dialog("close");}                     
                        );
                    }',             
                        array('text'=>Yii::t('app','reporting.select.close'),'click'=> 'js:function(){$(this).dialog("close");}'),
                ),
            ),
        ));
    ?>
    <div class="well">
        <?php echo     CHtml::beginForm(CHtml::normalizeUrl(array('/site/about')),'post',array('id'=>'select-year-form')); ?>
        <table class="contentheader">
            <tr>
            <td><?php echo CHtml::DropDownList('year', $lastyear, $yearslist, array('options'=>array($lastyear=>array('selected'=>true)) )); ?></td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <br />
        <?php echo CHtml::ajaxSubmitButton('Form Ajax Submit Button',
                CHtml::normalizeUrl(array('/site/about')), 
                array('success'=>'function(){$("#mydialog").dialog("close");}'),
                array('name' => 'run', 'class' => 'btn btn-success')
        ); ?>
        <?php echo CHtml::endForm(); ?>
    </div>

    <?php 
        $this->endWidget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDialog');
        echo CHtml::link(Yii::t('app','app.menu.reporting.planning.xlsabsence'), '#', array(
            'onclick'=>'$("#mydialog").dialog("open"); return false;',
        ));
    ?>
</div>

EDIT : Here's the requestheader for the ajax submit button :

For the other button its the same request header. There appears no error - so why can't I see the page r=site/about ? (actually r=site/about is just a test page, I will have to do the target page when I have resolved this problem).

Answer 1

Ajax calls are made for partial update on page not the whole page. First you have to define id for the element you want to update. for example

<div id='myDiv'>
</div>

Now in you ajaxSubmitButton code write

 <?php echo CHtml::ajaxSubmitButton('Form Ajax Submit Button',
                CHtml::normalizeUrl(array('/site/about')), 
                array('success'=>'function(){$("#mydialog").dialog("close");}',
                      'update'=>'#myDiv'                            ),
                array('name' => 'run', 'class' => 'btn btn-success')
        ); ?>

When the response is received the the id to be update is updated accordingly. Remember you can update any element by setting id for that.
