Is it possible to open popup in popup(parent) in jquery mobile?

Question

I am using Jquery mobile 1.4.2. Is it possible to open popup(child popup) in popup(parent popup) ?

I tried this way,

Answer 1

If you look at the popup api docs : http://api.jquerymobile.com/popup/, it states the following:

The framework does not currently support chaining of popups so it's not possible to embed a link from one popup to another popup. All links with a data-rel="popup" inside a popup will not do anything at all.

If you need to have one popup open on top of another you will have to use a different plugin or roll your own. You can see my answer to another question Show raw jquery mobile simple dialog above another raw jquery mobile simple dialog where I used the Simpledialog2 plugin to achieve this.

Answer 2

I had a similar question and was referred here. Following the popup api link above, I found a simple solution that doesn't involve a plug in.

$(document).on("pageinit", function () {
  $('#del').click(function (e) { // e is the event
    setTimeout(function () {
        $("#popupDelete").popup("open")
    }, 100);
  });
});

I have a jsfiddle to demo this.
