Close Window, Dialog, Modal on Keypress

[jkdoyle]

I can't quite figure this one out.

When I open a dialog/window, is there a way to have it close on any keypress? And then once it has closed to stop the keydown/keypress function (so that I can refocus on form elements)?

For example, how would I close $("mydialog").dialog();

Thanks

Listen to the keypress on the dialog, call 'close' method to close the dialog. Please look at this code:

Code:

var dlg = $('#dlg');
dlg.window('window').attr('tabindex',1).focus().bind('keyup', function(e){
	if (e.keyCode == 27){	// ESC
		dlg.window('close');
	}
})
