jQuery UI Dialog Button Icons

Question

Is it possible to add icons to the buttons on a jQuery UI Dialog? I\'ve tried doing it this way:

$(\"#DeleteDialog\").dialog({
    resizable: false,
    hei         


        

Answer 1

I ran in the same issue. It seems jquery stores the text in an attribute called "text" in the button itself, and not as text inside the button.

I solved it like this:

    $dialog.dialog({
        resizable:false,
        draggable:false,
        modal:true,
        open:function (event, ui) {
            $(this).parents('.ui-dialog').find('.cancel.ui-button').text('Cancel');
            //or you could use: $(this).parents('.ui-dialog').find('button[text="Cancel"]').text('Cancel');
            $(this).parents('.ui-dialog').find('.add.ui-button').text('OK');
        },
        buttons:[
            {
                text:"OK",
                click:function () {

                },
                "class":"add"
            },
            {
                text:"Cancel",
                click:function () {

                },
                "class":"cancel"
            }
        ]
    });
