Thanks for that amazingly quick response!
I only wish I understood the proposed solution! :-)
So (confession time) I simplified things a little, the actual
JavaScript is…
var theDialog = $(…).dialog( { autoOpen: true, width: 500, modal:
true, close: function() { theDialog.destroy; }; } )
How do I assemble this, or is there any documentation / examples you
can point me to.
Thanks very much,
Stuart.
