    Maybe this:

    window.parent.$('div#thedialog').dialog('open');

    That assumes that the parent window has pulled in its own copy of jQuery, of course. It might also work to do this:

    $(window.parent).find('div#thedialog').dialog('open');

    but I personally am pretty cautious about setting up stuff in one window using code that lives in another one. IE tends to get pretty freaky about that sometimes.
