how can i hide close button on dialog while dragging

in Using jQuery UI • 13 years ago

As the title says: how can i hide close button on dialog while dragging

I have been trying different variants of this code. It's not working.

$("#file_dialog").dialog().parent('.ui-dialog').children('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').hide();

I hope you can help me
Thanks

Use .find() instead of .children() like this:

$("#file_dialog").dialog().parent('.ui-dialog').find('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').hide();

However (assuming this is your initialization code), this will hide the X all the time, not just when dragging. If you want to hide only while dragging put this in a function as the dragStart option and then use a .show() on the dragStop.

Hth,

Thank you
I thought 'children' was also supposed to find all children of a particular class or id?

Find() API:
Description: Get the descendants of each element in the current set of matched elements, filtered by a selector.

Children() API:
Description: Get the children of each element in the set of matched elements, optionally filtered by a selector.
