Thanks for your replies.
If I look at your first option I wouldn't know how i could know the
correct ID before i click the button but i have to initiate the dialog
open after the normal dialog function. You second option seems the
best way for me, after the dialog is created i can modify its content
with your suggested code. Now I still want to find if i can also load
a page with ajax (load) instead of a local div.
Thx again,
Carlo
code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen:false,
modal:true,
overlay: {backgroundColor: "#000",opacity: 0.5},
resizable:false,
buttons:{
"Delete": function() {},
"Cancel": function() {$(this).dialog("close");}
}
});
$(".button").click(function(event){
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
$("#ui-dialog-title-dialog").text($(this).attr("id"));
});
});';
<div id="dialog">this is a test</div>
