jQuery UI Widget : Dialog

This widget is used to create a floating window that contains a title bar and a content area. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the '+' icon by default.

f the content length exceeds the maximum height, a scrollbar will automatically appear.

A bottom button bar and semi-transparent modal overlay layer are common options that can be added.

A call to $(foo).dialog() will initialize a dialog instance and will auto-open the dialog by default. If you want to reuse a dialog, the easiest way is to disable the "auto-open" option with: $(foo).dialog({ autoOpen: false }) and open it with $(foo).dialog('open'). To close it, use $(foo).dialog('close').

To create a dialog box containing text of a element like div, we use :

$("#dialog").dialog();
