How to open a dialog outside the iframe

Question

But i need the dialog outside the iframe (like window.parent ----> open dialog or something like that).

Answer 1

First, you need to initialize the dialog in the parent with autoOpen set to false if thats the case.

$("#dialog").dialog({ autoOpen: false });

After you can open it from the iframe by adding parent. before the expression:

parent.$("#dialog").dialog("open");
