Check out my Fiddle modal alert box: http://jsfiddle.net/katiabaer/UXM9y/33/ with JqueryUI modal

   showAlert = function (msg, header, callback) {
      var mydiv = $("
 
");
      mydiv.alertBox({
          message: msg,
          header: header,
          callback: callback
      });

  },

  $('#show').click(function () {
      var m = $('#message').val();
      var h = $('#header').val();
      var callback = function () {
          alert("I can do anything here");
      }
      showAlert(m, h, callback);

  });

  $.widget("MY.alertBox", {
      options: {
          message: "",
          header: "",
          callback: ''
      },

      _create: function () {
          var self = this;
          self.callback = self.options.callback;

          self.container = $(".alert-messagebox");
          var header = self.container.find(".alert-header");
          header.html(self.options.header);

          var message = self.container.find(".alert-message");
          message.html(self.options.message);

          var closeButton = self.container.find("button.modal-close-button");
          closeButton.click(function () {
              self.close();
          });

          self.show();
      },

      show: function () {
          var self = this;
          self.container.modal({
              maxWidth: 500
          });
      },

      close: function () {

          if (this.callback != null) {
              this.callback();
              $.modal.close();
              return;
          }
          $.modal.close();

      },

      destroy: function () {
          $.Widget.prototype.destroy.call(this);
      }

  });
