Dynamically create text in dialog box
dialog, jquery, jquery-ui
Solution
For best practice, try putting a div inside your dialog div and appending text to that instead.
<div id="myDialog"><div id="myDialogText"></div></div>
and then setting the text of the internal Div. This make for better separation, so you have
- a div for dialog manipulation
- and a div for text display
You can then set the text with
jQuery("#myDialogText").text("your text here");
Problem
How can I dynamically set the text of the dialog box that I'm opening? I've tried a few different things but they all respond with an empty dialog box. Here is my current try: ``` $('#dialog').text('Click on the link to download the file:'.data); $('#dialog').dialog("open"); ```
