Question

Is it possible to set the ID for the buttons in a jQuery UI dialog, so that I can refer to them later through jQuery? For example, trigger events, disable etc?

... in the dialog setup ...
buttons: {               
    "Sök": function () {
        var bValid = true;
    },
    "OK": function () {
        if (OK()) {
            getStuffNoteringar($("#txtStuffId").val());
            $(this).dialog("close");
        }
    }

.... later on in some javascript code....

$('#OK').click(); 

Answer 1

$("#myDialog").dialog({
  buttons :  { 
     "MyButton" : {
         text: "OK",
         id: "okbtnid",
         click: function(){
             var bValid = true;
         }   
      } 
   }
});
