JS Open Form in Modal vLookup Issue

[Kasey]

I have a list with DFFS with a vLookup. When I open the Disp/Edit forms normally in modal and add a child record via vLookup I have no issues. However, when I try to use javascript to open the Disp/Edit form in a modal when I create my child item I begin typing in the Title column. The first time I hit the space bar the parent record opens up in a new modal. I have tried both of the below methods to open my form. I’m assuming it has something to do with the pagetype in the URL as I’m using 4 and 6 instead of 5 and 7. Any ideas how to get around this issue?

This issue was not present in 4.4.2.9. It is happening with 4.4.3.31.

var URL = $j_site + ‘/_layouts/listform.aspx?PageType=4&ListId=’ + $j_restList + ‘&ID=’ + _finReqID;
var _function = “EditItem2(null,'” + URL + “‘)”;

function openModalDialog(LinkURL,LinkTitle) {
options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.url = LinkURL;
options.title = LinkTitle;
options.dialogReturnValueCallback = Function.createDelegate(null, CloseCallback);
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
}

This sounds strange. Try changing the function like this:

function openModalDialog(LinkURL,LinkTitle) {
    var options = {
        "url":LinkURL,
        "title":LinkTitle,
        "dialogReturnValueCallback":function(status){
            if(status === 1){
                // The dialog item was edited
            }else{
               // The dialog item was canceled
            }
        }
    };
    SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
}

Any difference?
