Hi all. COMPLETE newbie - don't even have much basic Javascript
experience - and I'm hoping that this is actually a simple question
and that someone can point me in the correct direction:

I am trying to make the dialog function in the same way that it does
in the demo page included with the jqueryui custom download. I want to
be able to click a link and have the dialog pop up as a result. In the
script tags within header of the demo page, this code appears:

// Dialog
    $('#dialog').dialog({
     autoOpen: false,
     width: 600,
     buttons: {
      "Ok": function() {
       $(this).dialog("close");
      },
      "Cancel": function() {
       $(this).dialog("close");
      }
     }
    });

    // Dialog Link
    $('#dialog_link').click(function(){
     $('#dialog').dialog('open');
     return false;
    });


....which correlates to this link:

<h2 class="demoHeaders">Dialog</h2>
  <p><a href="#" id="dialog_link" class="ui-state-default ui-corner-
all"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-newwin"></span>Open Dialog</a></p>

...which displays this when clicked:

<!-- ui-dialog -->
  <div id="dialog" title="Dialog Title">
   <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad
minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut
aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
  </div>


I figured out that to make a second link that displays a different
message, I can dupe that chunk of script in the header tag and rename
the relevant bits to "Dialog2" or whatever in the script and in the
new link and dialog text. Problem is - I have, like, 30 links to do
this way on a single page. I imagine that there must be a way to do
this without having to dupe the header script 30 times.

I was able to figure out how to use the accordion widget on my own
(and even changed some parameters! woo-hoo!), but am stumped by this
one. Any advice or links to relevant archive posts would be
appreciated. I did search the archives, but didn't find anything that
quite made sense (to me).

Thanks much in advance - Alison
