Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to implement a dialog using the jQuery UI Dialog plugin. The
Dialog plugin doesn’t come with much styling, so you learned how the markup is structured and
implemented your own styling for a dialog. An alternative and easier way of styling a dialog is to
also download and apply a jQuery UI theme from the http://www.jqueryui.com website.
