jquery

$(document).click(function (e) {     // matches children of droppable, change selector needed      currentdragimg = $(e.target).closest(".drag");        if ($(e.target).closest(".drag").length > 0) {          $(e.target).closest(".drag").find(".ui-resizable-handle").show();        }     else {         $("#droppable").find(".ui-resizable-handle").hide();         $("#tools").hide();     }       $('.drag').dblclick(function () { //the dialog box enter ip address opens on double click         $('#configbox').dialog('open');         return false;     });  });  /*the submit button*/         $(function () {             $("#submit").click(function () {                             enter = $("#address").val();                             $("<div>"+enter+"</div>").appendto(currentdragimg);                          });     }); 

any idea why happening? input appreciated. thanks.

i not sure, might try this.

at first submit button not working, because there not element id = submit(probably display: none) . after open dialog i.e element id = configbox. submit button on dom , hence next time open dialog box click event binded submit buttom.

you can add click event after opennng dialog below.

$('.drag').dblclick(function () { //the dialog box enter ip address opens on double click             $('#configbox').dialog('open');              $(function () {                 $("#submit").click(function () {                                 enter = $("#address").val();                                 $("<div>"+enter+"</div>").appendto(currentdragimg);                              });             return false;         }); 

please try , comment. hope helps.
