Add a button to a dialog box dynamically

Question

Is there any way to add a button to a dialog box in jquery ui dynamically.

I tried using: $(this).add(\"button\");

Answer 1

Sometimes you want to add the buttons later too.

var mydialog = ... result of jqueryui .dialog()
var buttons = mydialog.dialog("option", "buttons"); // getter
$.extend(buttons, { foo: function () { alert('foo'); } });
mydialog.dialog("option", "buttons", buttons); // setter
