jquery UI dialog: how to initialize without a title bar?

Question

Is it possible to open a jQuery UI Dialog without a title bar?

Answer 1

I like overriding jQuery widgets.

(function ($) {
    $.widget("sauti.dialog", $.ui.dialog, {
        options: {
            headerVisible: false
        },
        _create: function () {
            // ready to generate button
            this._super("_create"); // for 18 would be $.Widget.prototype._create.call(this);
            // decide if header is visible
            if(this.options.headerVisible == false)
                this.uiDialogTitlebar.hide();
        },
        _setOption: function (key, value) {
            this._super(key, value); // for 1.8 would be $.Widget.prototype._setOption.apply( this, arguments );
            if (key === "headerVisible") {
                if (key == false)
                    this.uiDialogTitlebar.hide();
                else
                    this.uiDialogTitlebar.show();
                return;
            }
        }
    });
})(jQuery);

So you can now setup if you want to show title bar or not

   $('#mydialog').dialog({
      headerVisible: false // or true
});
