jQuery UI confirm dialog not returns true/false

Question

I have jQuery UI confirm dialog:

function fnComfirm(title, content) {
    $(\"#dialog:ui-dialog\").dialog(\"destroy\");
    $(\"#dialog-confirm p\").html(con

I don't know JS too well, but my guess is that the return false is returning within the nested function?! What you would want to do is this;

function fnComfirm(title, content) {
var returnVar;
$("#dialog:ui-dialog").dialog("destroy");
$("#dialog-confirm p").html(content);
$("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
    title: title,
    resizable: false,
    height: 200,
    width: 486,
    modal: true,
    buttons: {
        "OK": function() {
            $( this ).dialog("close");
            returnVar = true;
        },
        Cancel: function() {
            $( this ).dialog("close");
            returnVar = false;
        }
    }
});
return returnVar;
}

Like I said, I'm not an expert in Javascript, but this is what I think is the problem :)
