with jquery UI dialog, is there anyway to have a max height and use 'auto' if its smaller

Question

I want a dialog to have a max height setting but, if the content is smaller, then to shrink down to do what height = \'auto\' does. Is this possible in JQuery UI di

Answer 1

I use this:

$('#dialog').dialog({
    maxHeight: $(window).height(),
    open: function() {
        $(this).dialog('option', 'maxHeight', $(window).height());
   }
});

Resetting maxHeight in "open" is useful when window has changed size.
