Tony on Can I use code to "click" the Find button?

I purchased a paid-support incident and sent an e-mail over about 30 min ago. That should have most, if not all, of the details.

Thanks for your response! I know I could have waited to get help here, but for all the times I have used the grid over the years, you deserve some payment from me.

Hello,

To this button already we have a click event attached. What is the goal?

Regards

Tony

Tony on Can I use code to "click" the Find button?

When you use the pager's search button to open up the multi-criteria search/filter dialog, there is a "find" button in the lower, right-hand corner. I can find the <span> element that renders this button, but I can not find a way to call the click event of this button.

This code here works on the pager to open the search/filter dialog:


$('#AccountPager .ui-icon-search').click();

But the following, similar code does not work to click the find button (which has the same class):


$('#fbox_AccountGrid .ui-icon-search').click();

I have tried this:


$('#fbox_AccountGrid').searchFilter().search();

But it does not appear to actually do anything, even though I know my filters are all there. When I use Fiddler to watch the communications with the server, this line of code never initiates the expected refresh/update.

I found the actual code I want to call in jquery.searchFilter.js, starting with line 415. That led me to try the following two options:


$('#fbox_AccountGrid').find('.ui-search').click();

$('#fbox_AccountGrid .ui-search').click();

But these didn't work either. I feel like I am so close! Anyone see what I am missing here?

TIA
