Question

$("#note_content").dialog({
            title: "Note",
            modal: true,
            width:'auto',
            height:'auto',
            resizable:false,

            open: function(){
                var note_text = $('#note_content').attr('note_text');
     }
}

In my code I am trying set note_text as content of dialog, any idea how could I do this?

Answer 1

You should have a content place holder inside your dialog, for example:

<div id="noteContent" title="Basic dialog">
   <p id="contentholder"> This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.</p>
</div>

$("#note_content").dialog({
    title: "Note",
    modal: true,
    width:'auto',
    height:'auto',
    resizable:false,

    open: function(){
        var note_text = $('#note_content').attr('note_text');
       $("#contentholder").val(note_text)
    }
}

You had your note_text assigned to a variable in this line:

var note_text = $('#note_content').attr('note_text');

However, you didn’t assign the note_text variable to the placeholder.
