jQuery UI Create event is triggered when the dialog box is created.

Learn more about jQuery selectors and events here.

Syntax:

$(".selector").dialog (
   create: function( event, ui ) {
       console.log('created')
   },

Approach:

  • First, add jQuery Mobile scripts needed for your project.
<link href = 
"https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css"
    rel = "stylesheet">
<script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js">
</script>
  • Open Dialog' button will trigger the click function (#gfg) that will further open the <textarea> in a dialog (#gfg2).
  • create( event, ui ) : Triggers when dialog box is created. There is callback function attached to this create which gets triggered after the dialog box is created.
    • event :  Type -> Event
    • ui : Type -> Object
    • callback function : function( event, ui ) { console.log('created')}

Example 1:

<!doctype html>
<html lang = "en">
   <head>
      <meta charset = "utf-8">
      <link href =

         rel = "stylesheet">
      <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js">
        </script>
      <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js">
        </script>
      

      <script type = "text/javascript">
         $(function() {
            $( "#gfg2" ).dialog({
          autoOpen: false, 
               create: function( event, ui ) {
                  console.log('created')
               },
            });
            $( "#gfg" ).click(function() {
               $( "#gfg2" ).dialog( "open" );
            });
