dialog('isOpen') returns an object instead of boolean

[BigBadaboom]

The 'isOpen' method is supposed to return true or false. Instead it returns an object.

To reproduce:

Load the attached HTML test file.

Expected result:

Alert box should read "isOpen=true"

Actual result:

Alert box reads "isOpen=[object Object]"

Test case (HTML)

[BigBadaboom]

NVM. I was using an old version of jQuery UI. I see now from the changelog that this feature was added in 1.7.

Perhaps, instead of being closed, this bug could be treated as a request to alter the documentation for isOpen to say: "Added in version 1.7".

Docs on site are always targeting to last stable release, you could check old docs on ​http://docs.jquery.com/UI e.g. ​http://docs.jquery.com/UI/API/1.5/Dialog

The bug is still there here is the criteria where I am facing the problem,

//This is the first function that I am calling to Initialize and load the dialog
function openTheModal(){
$("#dialog-modal").dialog({
			height: 140,
			modal: true,
                        open:function(ui,event){
                        $("#dialog-modal").load("test1.html");//Where dialog-modal is a div and I am successfully loading the html
                        }
});
}

// This is the second function which I will call to get the status of the dialog and getting the result as object
function checkIfDialogOpen(){
alert($("#dialog-modal").dialog("isOpen")); // Here it is returning Object , even I tried assigning that to var and checked results and got the same.
}

Please kindly Help and Fix!

Karthik

Sounds like you're probably calling isOpen() before instantiating the dialog. Please use the ​forums for help.

No I initiated the dialog in the first function and I have missed out $("#dialog-modal").dialog("open") in the first function.Even after that it is still returning object. If possible provide a best case so that I will try it out.
