Hi, I’ve got my eForm working within a jQuery Dialog popup that is opened from a link on the page. The eForm works well but the problem I am having is that I need the jQuery Dialog to open automatically upon returning to the page once the form submission has taken place in order for the user to be able to see the feedback or validation errors. At the moment you have to click the popup link again to be able to see this information.
If I can determine that the page is returning from a submission then I should be able to set the autoOpen method of the Dialog object to true instead of false? Does anybody have an idea of how I can detect this or have any other ideas on how I can achieve this?
<?php
$hasPosted = "false";
if (isset($_POST['formid']) && ($_POST['formid']!='') ) {
$hasPosted = "true";
}
return $hasPosted;
?><script type="text/javascript">
var isPosted;
isPosted = [!SubmitCheck!];
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#enquiry").dialog({
bgiframe: true, autoOpen: false ,height: 600, width: 780, modal: true
});
if (isPosted) $("#enquiry").dialog('open');
</script>
<?php
$hasPosted = "false";
if (isset($_POST[’formid’]) && ($_POST[’formid’]!=’’) ) {
$hasPosted = "true";
}
return $hasPosted;
?>

Thanks Susan for the suggestion. I actually added a hidden input field and check for that with:
In my implementation of something similar, I used the various tpls to provide a div with an id attribute for everything, and had the javascript checking for the existence and content of these divs. Using a blank resource with an eForm call as the AJAX processor took care of getting the form displayed and posted behind the scenes as it were. I keep meaning to implement this on my site’s slide-down contact form, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. It was actually pretty easy; I imagine formit would behave in much the same way.
<?php
$hasPosted = "false";
if ($_REQUEST['submitted']==1){
$hasPosted = "true";
}
return $hasPosted;
