Success message

Question

Hello friends,
I am using apex 4.2. Theme 23.
I have Skillbuilder Modal Page DA to be fired when X event :
Auto-close On Element Selector : #uSuccessMessageAnd the Modal page works fine, but when closing the modal page, the success message does not show up:
I have Execute Java script when Auto close skillbuilders modal page:
$('#uSuccessMessage')
.hide()
.empty()
.append(this.data.$modalPageCloseObject)
.slideDown('slow');** The branch on the Page that shows up on the Modal Page includes process success message.
What did I miss ??
Regards,
Fateh

Fateh,
I found the email you sent me with the demo login. If possible as that to the blog post in the future so that others can help.
First, you need to start using Firefox w/Firebug. I was immediately able to spot an error. Here's the code you had before:
$('#uSuccessMessage')
   .hide()
   .empty()
   .append(this.data.$modalPageCloseObject)
   .slideDown('slow');
var successMessage = this.data.$modalPageCloseObject;
var custObjText = successMessage.find('#uSuccessMessage').text();
var custObj = $.parseJSON(custObjText);
$s('P1_X', custObj.someProp);I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the bottom part, but as it was creating an error and it's not related to the success message, I'm removing it for now.
Second,
The top part of the code works, as you know, with other themes but not the new one. The important thing to do is understand how the code is working so that you can adapt it as needed. Here's some new code that does work for your new theme:
var $successMessage = this.data.$modalPageCloseObject;
$('#uSuccessMessage').remove();
$successMessage
   .hide()
   .insertAfter('#uHeader')
   .slideDown('slow');Spend some time looking up how the jQuery methods work to understand why the changes were needed. It will be time well spent. :)
