Question

I ‘m trying to open the links from an RSS feed into a dialog. I am trying the following code which I got from here. The link does not open dialog. Any suggestions what I ‘m doing wrong.
thanks

 $(document).ready(function() {
              $('a#URLLoad').live('click', function(e) {
                  e.preventDefault();
                  var page = $(this).attr("href")
                  var pagetitle = $(this).attr("title")
                  var $dialog = $('<div></div>')
                    .html('<iframe style="border: 0px; " src="' + page + '" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>')
                    .dialog({
                        autoOpen: false,
                        modal: true,
                        height: 625,
                        width: 500,
                        title: pagetitle
                    });
                  $dialog.dialog('open');
              });

          });

    <li class="ui-state-default">
<a class="URLLoad" href="http://feeds.arstechnica.com/~r/arstechnica/index/~3/4UlQiQB2n54/">New Xbox interface brings Windows 8 "Metro" style to the console</a></li>

Answer 1

you are using class not id change your code like this

$(document).ready(function() {
              $('a.URLLoad').live('click', function(e) {
                  e.preventDefault();
                  var page = $(this).attr("href")
                  var pagetitle = $(this).attr("title")
                  var $dialog = $('<div></div>')
                    .html('<iframe style="border: 0px; " src="' + page + '" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>')
                    .dialog({
                        autoOpen: false,
                        modal: true,
                        height: 625,
                        width: 500,
                        title: pagetitle
                    });
                  $dialog.dialog('open');
              });

          });

you need to change $('a#URLLoad') to $('a.URLLoad')

Update:

i have updated your fiddle have a look here Demo

i think problem is that you have not included reference of jquery UI and css
