dynamically changing dialog content

dynamically changing dialog content

Hello All

(FWIW, my entire code is the alpha-stage MELT monitor on github )

I am using a jquery dialog for a modal form. That form contains an input text field. When the input is wrong (it is sent thru an AJAX post), I want to append a warning message after the form, and keep the modal dialog open.

I can't understand how to do that. I tried several things.

// datado is from the JSON in the AJAX successful reply
// addediteminp_mom is the input inside the dialog
//#mom_additem_msg is the message div
                   else if (datado == 'momedit_baditem') {
                   addediteminp_mom.val("");
                   var warn = $('#mom_additem_msg').html("<br/><b class='mom_warning_cl' id='mom_warnbaditem_id'>bad item!</b>");
                   additemdlg_mom.dialog({show: true});
                   console.debug ("additemdlg add ajax_edit baditem warn=", warn);
                   warn.delay(600).fadeOut(500).delay(100).empty();
                   console.debug ("additemdlg add ajax_edit baditem emptied warn=", warn);
                   }












Any clues?
