T a r g e t : I want to have -- two jQ-UI-dialogs which are independent in styles, e.g. -- one of them without title-bar and buttonpane, but with some funny border.
P r o b l e m : -- In UI, these dialogs do not have an ID of their own, so I cannot adress them directly like I can adress their text field: $('#myDialog1').text('Hello world') , instead I have to address the dialog by its CSS class; and the title bar similar, e.g.: $('.ui-dialog-titlebar').hide() , but this means that the title bar of both dialogs will hide, rather than only one. S o l u t i o n : I can address my dialog text field, because it has a unique ID: 'myDialog1', and from here I traverse upwards to the dialog ("closest ()" searches the ancesters in the DOM tree) and from here downwards to the title bar ("children()" traverses downwards), e.g.: $("#myDialog1").closest('.ui-dialog').children('.ui-dialog- titlebar').hide() or e.g.: $("#myDialog1").closest('.ui-dialog').children('.ui-dialog- buttonpane').css({ top: '80px', left: '70px', opacity: .8, background:"#ffcc99", border:"8px dashed #f00" }); D e m o : http://netzwerkstatt.de/jqui_zweiDialoge HF, Detlef
