How do you open a URL in a dialog box JQUERY UI

Question

I've been looking for a simple solution for quite some time. I want a page (for example http://www.google.com) to be displayed in a JQuery UI Dialog window. The plan is to later add the URL dynamically so all links from my site will be displayed in said window. I tried the following, but the dialog window is empty when clicking on the link. ``` Test

You don't need an `iframe` as has been suggested, but you should read the documentation on dialogs here.

Instead, you need to load the content on the `.open` property --

```
$( "#openwindow" ).dialog({
 open: function(event, ui) {
   $('#divInDialog').load('test.html', function() {
     alert('Load was performed.');
   });
  }
});
```

Also, you seem to use `.each` with an `id` -- the `id` is supposed to be unique within the page. use `class` instead.
