why doesn't this display ibm.com into a 400x500px modal? The section appears to be correct, but it doesn't cause the popup modal to appear.

                var page = "http://somurl.com/asom.php.aspx";  var $dialog = $('<div></div>')                .html('<iframe style="border: 0px; " src="' + page + '" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>')                .dialog({                    autoOpen: false,                    modal: true,                    height: 625,                    width: 500,                    title: "Some title"                }); $dialog.dialog('open');   Use this inside a function. This is great if you really want to load an external URL as an IFRAME. Also make sure that in you custom jqueryUI you have the dialog.
EDIT: This answer might be outdated if you're using a recent version of jQueryUI.
For an anchor to trigger the dialog -
<a href="http://ibm.com" class="example">   Here's the script -
$('a.example').click(function(){   //bind handlers    var url = $(this).attr('href');    showDialog(url);     return false; });  $("#targetDiv").dialog({  //create dialog, but keep it closed    autoOpen: false,    height: 300,    width: 350,    modal: true });  function showDialog(url){  //load content and open dialog     $("#targetDiv").load(url);     $("#targetDiv").dialog("open");          }
