I’m reposting my answer to a similar question because no-one seems to have given it here and it’s much cleaner and neater:
Use the alternative buttons
property syntax:
$dialogDiv.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 600,
resizable: false,
buttons: [
{
text: "Cancel",
"class": 'cancelButtonClass',
click: function() {
// Cancel code here
}
},
{
text: "Save",
"class": 'saveButtonClass',
click: function() {
// Save code here
}
}
],
close: function() {
// Close code here (incidentally, same as Cancel code)
}
});
