I’m going out on a limb here … anyone ever load up a Suitelet into a popup using SS 2.0? I’m playing with dialog.confirm, but I want to add some inputs like a select and textbox. Please don’t tell me I have to hack and bunch of stuff, like the good ol’ SS 1.0 days.

What’s the point of the dialog module, other then showing a message?

NOTE: I wish the dialog.create had the ability to point to a Suitelet. Now that would be something!

Hi Darren, you will need to take a workaround approach sadly I agree more flexibility for the the UI components is a must whether it be the ability to open a suitelet, or the ability to specify a form by configuration object. As with all these types of limitations raising use cases and enhancement requests and linking them on your threads is probably the best way to highlight the need hopefully for the relevant NetSuite PM’s to see.

Hi Darren,

As of the moment, unfortunately, the dialog module does not have the lightbox capabilities. Most of the functionalities of this module focuses on simple dialogs which is more like UI improvement of native JavaScript alerts and confirm. For this, I second the motion of rather using 1.0

Chanarbon/Infinet Cloud,

That’s so much for the feedback.

Putting an html suitelet inside the dialog should be easy to do. Just use the jQuery.load() into an html tag and call the dialog to pop it up.

Adding the following information in case someone is looking for information on jQueryUI.

jQuery UI Library No Longer Loaded on NetSuite Pages

Programmatic access to the NetSuite UI has always required the use of SuiteScript APIs. SuiteScript

has never supported direct access to the NetSuite UI through the Document Object Model (DOM).

Prior to 2017.1, the jQuery UI library was loaded on each NetSuite page. It is possible that your

implementations relied on this library, although this usage was never supported.

As of 2017.1, the jQuery UI library is no longer loaded on each NetSuite page. Notice of this change is

provided as a courtesy, so you can check your implementations and make changes as needed. If you

want to use jQuery UI with a Suitelet, you must import your own version of this library.
