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

How about a class-based approach?

In your _layout.cshtml file put something like the following:

Then, in the file where you are creating the dialog, do something like this:

$("#doStuff-dialog").dialog({
    title: "Do Some Stuff",
    modal: true,
    buttons: [
        {
            text: "Yes",
            class: "my-button-submit",
            click: function () {
                $(this).dialog("close");
            }
        },
        {
            text: "No",
            class: "my-button-cancel",
            click: function () {
                $(this).dialog("close");
            }
        }
    ],
    open: function () {
        stylizeButtons($("#doStuff-dialog").parent());
    }
});

Then you never have to rely on searching for text, and it requires a minimal amount of code in your dialog. I use this throughout my applications to apply jquery UI styling/icons to buttons just by giving them a class.
