Add button to jquery ui dialog

Question

I can not add button to this jquery ui dialog. if possible please give me an example . thanks.

Answer 1

Sometimes you want to add the buttons dynamically after the dialog is created too. See my answer at the question Add a button to a dialog box dynamically

var mydialog = ... result of jqueryui .dialog()
var buttons = mydialog.dialog("option", "buttons"); // getter
$.extend(buttons, { foo: function () { alert('foo'); } });
mydialog.dialog("option", "buttons", buttons); // setter

Answer 2

If you want to add a button to a dialog that is already open you can do something like:

var buttonSet = $('#dialog').parent().find('.ui-dialog-buttonset');
var newButton = $('<button>My New Button</button>');
newButton.button().click(function () {
    alert('My new button clicked');
});
buttonSet.append(newButton);

Here is an example

add this to your function:

buttons: {
                OK: function() { //submit
                    $( this ).dialog( "close" );
                },
                Cancel: function() { //cancel
                    $( this ).dialog( "close" );
                }
            }

So you get

    $('#msgBox').dialog({


                autoResize: true,
                show: "clip",
                hide: "clip",
                height: 'auto',
                width: 'auto',
                autoOpen: false,
                modal: true,
                position: 'center',
                draggable: false,
                buttons: {
                OK: function() { //ok
                    $( this ).dialog( "close" );
                },
                Cancel: function() { //cancel
                    $( this ).dialog( "close" );
                }
            }
                open: function (type, data) {
                    $(this).parent().appendTo("form");
                }


            });

$('#msgBox').dialog({
    autoResize: true,
    show: "clip",
    hide: "clip",
    height: 'auto',
    width: 'auto',
    autoOpen: false,
    modal: true,
    position: 'center',
    draggable: false,

    open: function (type, data) {
        $(this).parent().appendTo("form");
    },

    buttons: { "OK": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); } } 
});
