I have a small php form. I need it to come in a pop up(dialog) when a user clicks a link .how do i do this using jquery .

Answer 1

Using the jquery UI Dialog

$(function() {
   $('#myLink').click( function() {
        $('<div title="Warning: A dialog"><p>Dialog contents</p></div>').dialog({
                autoOpen: true,
                modal: true, // or false
                close: function() { $(this).dialog('destroy') } ),
                ... other options ...
        });
    });
});

If you need the dialog contents to be dynamic, you can use get() to load some html from the server and set the HTML of the dialog from it or just construct the contents dynamically from elements on the page, if that’s more appropriate.
