Thanks for the extra info guys - perhaps I'm reading it wrong but
wouldn't that mean that my help buttons text was the content of my
dialog box rather than the word "help"?
Perhaps I could do something like this:
$('#dialog').dialog({ autoOpen: false });
$('.helper span').hide();
$('.helper').click(function()
{
var aTag = $(this);
$('#dialog').html($('span', aTag).alt())
.dialog('option', 'title', aTag.title())
.dialog('open');
});
<a class="helper" href="#" title="Da Da" alt="Body text for my dialog
box">help <span>HELP</span></a>
Thanks again
Bob
