Open jqueryUI modal with a link

I cant figure this out for the life of me. I want to open a modal (dialoge) box with jqueryUI. All the examples use a button to do it.

Can someone post an example which uses a simple link to open a basic jqueryui diagloge box

If you want to bind the dialog opening event to someone clicking on the link, you could use something like this:

$("#linkid").on("click", function() {
    $("#dialogId").dialog();
});

linkid == the ID on your tag, and dialogId == the ID on the containing element of what you want displayed in your dialog

Try using

<a href="javascript:void(0)">

Then bind to the .click() event

just use the dialog("open") function.

$(".alink").dialog("open");
