How to - jquery ui dialog in joomla articlel was created by mamboze
Hi,
I installed jquery ui etc using the jquery easy plugin with the aim of placing a dialog widget in a joomla article but I don't know how to proceed from here. Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Hello,
this is not a simple task.
First, you may want to install a plugin that will allow you to enter javascript code into an article with a system like
{plugin-for-javascript} javascript code here {/plugin-for-javascript}
Then add jQuery-ready code in between the brackets to test that everything works correctly. A simple change of color for a layer would be simple enough, something like
jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 
$('span').css('color', 'yellow'); 
});
Once you are sure the simple jQuery works, add your code for your jQuery UI. You will find plenty of examples on the Internet on how to add a dialog into your code with jQuery UI.

I already have jquery working on the website, having placed the various js files in the template javascript folder and included them in the script section of the index.php. You may care to check it out on the site, english2theword.com, Here, jquery is providing the functionality for audio and various visual effects.

My problem is how to place the jquery ui dialogs several times in individual joomla articles containing English/Thai word pairs (see Word Sets).

Thanks for your help

I have jquery code playing audio files on-click and also providing various graphic effects, see english2theworld.com (still work in progress).

I've installed jquery ui using jQuery Easy. I intend to use the dialog widget multiple times in single joomla articles. I've installed a dialog on an single stand alone web page, no problem :) but I'm not sure quite how to go in joomla tho.

Hello,
I have tried to access your site but it does not go through.
My previous post really answers your question.
Look at jqueryui.com/dialog/ for an example on how to code the dialog boxes.

I answered before seeing your last post.
I have never done what you are trying to achieve but I would think that you just need to add a different id to every div that will represent your dialog boxes.
