As in any other programming language, you can do a function to reuse
some behaviour. You can put these in the page or in a js:
function createDialog(dialogID){
$('#'+dialogID).dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 600,
buttons: {
"Ok": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"Cancel": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
}
and:
function createLink(linkID,dialogID){
$('#'+linkID).click(function(){
$('#'+dialogID).dialog('open');
return false;
});
}
This way you only have to do for all your links:
createDialog('dialog1');
createLink('link1','dialog1');
createDialog('dialog2');
createLink('link2','dialog2');
...
(If you use numbers you can do a bucle for creating the 30 links)
But for opening the dialog you don't need to do that, you can use a
normal button or any image just using its "onclick" event:
<button onclick="openDialog('dialogID');"/>
and
function openDialog(dialogID){
$('#'+dialogID).dialog('open');
