Question

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. The dialog box comes but it does not follow any of the settings I specified.

function voteToday(id,userid){

$(".pleaseLogin").dialog({
    autoOpen:false,
    bgiframe: true,
    resizable: false,
    width:200,
    height:75,
    modal: true,
    overlay: {
        backgroundColor: '#000',
        opacity: 0.5
    }
});

$(".pleaseLogin").dialog('open');

}

Answer 1

You generate two different dialogs, one doesn’t open but has options, one does open but has no options.

If you give more information where you got this dialog from, I could answer how to fix it.

EDIT

I was wrong, but found out that this code works fine. The only option that doesn’t seem to work is autoOpen: false, but you open the box after you give that option.

    function voteToday(id,userid){
        $(".pleaseLogin").dialog('open');
    }

    $(document).ready(function(){
        $(".pleaseLogin").dialog({
            autoOpen: false,
            bgiframe: true,
            resizable: false,
            width:500,
            height:75,
            modal: true,
            overlay: {
                backgroundColor: '#000',
                opacity: 0.5
            }
        });
        $('.something').click(voteToday);
    });
