how to refresh a jquery UI dialog after a form submitted?

Hi
i have a jquery ui dialog that open with a table of data from the database.
i also have a link that open another UI dialog with a form to add an item.

right now, when i press the submit button of the form i refresh the whole page and that is it. what i want is to refresh the first dialog when the submit button is pressed.

so when i add an item and press the submit: the form dialog is cloased and the dialog with the data display the refreshed data.

i add my ajax code for the form submition.

    $("#devidersend").live('click',function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
          var devidertitle = $("#devidername").val();
          var devidermenutype =  $("select#devidermenutype option:selected").val();
          var deviderlang = $("select#deviderlang option:selected").val();
          // $("form#form-menu p.msg").remove();
          //triger a click the current menu group.
          $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: '/cms/addDevider/',
            data:{
                devidertitle:devidertitle,
                devidermenutype:devidermenutype,
                deviderlang:deviderlang
            },
            datatype: 'json',
            success: function(data){
                var theData = JSON.parse(data);
                
                if(theData.type == 'errors'){     
                    $("form#devideradding").prepend("<ul class='formalerts'>");
                    $.each(theData.message, function(key, value) { 		 		
                        $("form#devideradding ul.formalerts").append("<li> "  + value + "</li>");
                    });
                    $("form#devideradding ul.formalerts").append("</ul>");
                }else if(theData.type == 'missings'){
                    $("form#devideradding").prepend("<ul class='formalerts'>");
                    $.each(theData.message, function(key, value) { 		 		
                        $("form#devideradding  ul.formalerts").append("<li>" +emptyfield+ ": "  + value + "</li>");
                    });
                    $("form#devideradding ul.formalerts").append("</ul>");
                }else {
                   window.location.href = '/';
                    $('div#adddevider').delay(5000).queue(function(){
                        $('div#adddevider').dialog("close");
                    });
                   
                }
            },
                        beforeSend: function() {
                           $('form#devideradding').prepend("<p class='loadit' ></p>");
                        },
                        complete: function(){
                            $("p.loadit").fadeOut();
                        }
        });
        return false;
    });

window.location.href = '/';
Will reload the page. Why do you do that?

because as it stand now i have no idea how to refresh the dialog UI. once i`ll be able to do that i will not reload the page.

Michel Plungjan

Do you have a page somewhere?

hi
no its on my locqal machine.
but the issue is : where right now i do
window.location.href = '/';
to write a code that refresh the specific dialog.

Michel Plungjan

With the code provided I cannot help you solve your issue - I do not know what you mean by refreshing the UI dialog since I do not see it opened

hi
think about a simple CRUD . lets say: user management.
when i press a "manage users" a jquery UI dialog is opened with a table of all the users and a link to add a new user. when this link is pressed a new jquery UI dialog is opened with a form for adding a user.
when this form is submitted i close the form dialog and i want to refresh the table of users in the table dialog.

Michel Plungjan

So refresh dialog or table?
Can you make some screen shots?

well the table since i want the new data to appear once i added a new content.

i attach the images
