Problem with modal dialog opened when focusing on text input

Description

I use a form with a read-only text input. The script calls the dialog open method to display a UI modal dialog when the user clicks in the input text field. The dialog opens normally, but on close the dialog disappears, and not the overlay. For now the only solution consists to create the dialog when the focus event occurs and invoke the "destroy" method for closure.

Tested on Mac OS 10.9.2 with FF 28.0, Safari 7.0.3, Chrome 34.0.1847.116

You're essentially caught in a loop. When a dialog closes, it puts focus back where it was before the dialog opened. Showing a dialog when an element gains focus isn't really good UX. What are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks for your answer. My goal was to bring up a list of enumerated values ​​loaded dynamically to allow a user choice. The same dialog should allow, if necessary, modify or add one or more values ​​in the enumeration. I think I'll just put a button for opening the dialogue and forget the triggering focus.

That would be a lot less jarring for the user.
