It would be even better if the self-provided answer worked.

I get no response when clicking outside the dialog. Here is my jsFiddle for testing.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but it doesn't seem to do its desired function.

@JamesLin provided the key insight. I needed to add the new option in my initialization:

$("#myDialog").dialog({
    overlay_close:true,
    modal: true
});

The jsFiddle is also updated.

(function($){
   var _init = $.ui.dialog.prototype._init;
   $.ui.dialog.prototype._init = function(){
        var self = this;
        _init.apply(this,arguments);
        $('.ui-widget-overlay').live('click', function(){
            if (self.options['overlay_close']){
                self.destroy();
            }
        });
    }
})($);
