I want to open jquery modal window using jquery UI whenever the function display is called using normal javascript function call .

I can use .diolog function of jquery UI , but how to call it from within javascript function ?

Thanks

    Note that jQuery is Javascript. What you can do with Javascript, you can do with jQuery. Commented Sep 25, 2010 at 16:37

You can just use a selector and call .dialog(), like this:

function display(id)
{
 $("#"+id).dialog();
}

This uses the passed id for the #ID selector then just calls .dialog() for that element.
